Blood transcriptional biomarkers for active TB among US patients: A case-control study with systematic cross-classifier evaluation.. Homo sapiens

In a prospective case-control study, we identified novel transcriptional classifiers for TB among US patients and systematically compared their accuracy to other classifiers in published studies. Overall design: Whole blood from US patients was collected to accurately diagnose active TB in racially and ethnically diverse populations for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
