MMP8 did not meet WHO TPP triage test criteria for ATB vs LTBI (76.4% (95% CI, 63.7–85.6%) sensitivity and 60.7% (95% CI, 50.3–70.2%) specificity) and ATB vs non-TB (70.9% (95% CI, 57.9–81.2%) sensitivity and 59.2% (95% CI, 45.2–71.8%) specificity). This evidence concerns the gene MMP8 and tuberculosis.
