Immunogenetics & TB Treatment Strategies: Hope or Hype?

Thomas Hawn, MD-PhD University of Washington Division of Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Advancing HDT for TB NIH Workshop April 15, 2014 Outline

1. The Challenge 2. Mendelian Lessons 3. Complex Lessons 4. Lessons from other infections 5. Future: Therapeutic Implications 1. Massive Genetic Variation: Random or Regulatory?

Genomic DNA ATGGACTGGA ... ATGGTCTGGA ...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphism

: 3 billion bases • SNPs ~0.1%

Which SNPs: alter cell function? affect susceptibility to TB? 2. Redundancy: Signaling Nightmares

47 Chemokines 23 Type I Cytokines 17 Type II Cytokines 9 TNF Family
