However, all three mRNA were only moderately accurate in classifying the subjects into TB and non-TB cases: EPHA4 showed a slightly higher AUROC (0.71, 95% CI: 0.63 to 0.79) than NPC2 (0.68, 95% CI: 0.60 to 0.77) or DOCK9 (0.675, 95% CI: 0.59 to 0.76). This evidence concerns the gene NPC2 and tuberculosis.
