Higher expression of NKp46 on CD56dim NK cells lowered the odds of lung cavitation in the total cohort (aOR 0.958, 95% CI: 0.921–0.997, p = 0.035) and among the TB/HIV co-infected participants (aOR 0.937, 95% CI: 0.883–0.994, p = 0.032), (Table 3, Supplementary tables 6 and 7). The gene discussed is NCR1; the disease is tuberculosis.
