We used the 19 genes as input genes to construct a TB-related Riskscore by using the Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) COX regression analysis for the TCGA cohort: Riskscore = (-0.001)*exp(CD52) + (- 0.001)*exp(CD79A)+(0.022)*exp(C1QTNF6)+(0.001)*exp(KRT80)+(-0.196)*exp(GRIA1)+(0.172)*exp(TRPA1) (Figure 5A and 5B). Here, TRPA1 is linked to tuberculosis.
