Rationale: Tuberculosis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the developing
world. A better understanding of the mechanisms of disease protection could allow novel
strategies to disease management and control. Objectives: To identify human genomic loci
with evidence of linkage to tuberculosis susceptibility and, within these loci, to identify
individual genes influencing tuberculosis susceptibility. Methods: Affected sibling pair
analysis in South African and Malawian populations. Independent case-control study in …

There was a printer error in the “At a Glance Commentary” text box for the article “Mapping of
a Novel Susceptibility Locus Suggests a Role for MC3R and CTSZ in Human Tuberculosis,”
which was published in the July 15, 2008 issue of AJRCCM (1). In the third line underneath
the heading “What This Study Adds to the Field,” the term cathepsin Z was typeset incorrectly
as cathepsin 7.
