Abstract
Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease (MAC-LD) preferentially occurs in postmenopausal women and may have immune exhaustion involving the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) pathway. It is still unknown whether sex-specific associations between susceptibility to MAC-LD and programmed cell death 1 gene (PDCD1) polymorphisms exist.
Subjects
Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease (MAC-LD); PDCD1; programmed cell death 1 (PD-1); sex; single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
