A DNA Methylation Signature From Buccal Swabs to Identify Tuberculosis Infection
Tuberculosis (TB) is among the largest infectious causes of death worldwide, and there is a need for a time- and resource-effective diagnostic methods. In this novel and exploratory study, we show the potential of using buccal swabs to collect human DNA and investigate the DNA methylation (DNAm) signatures as a diagnostic tool for TB.
