Mycobacterium Infections, Nontuberculous
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study was to elucidate genetic susceptibility of patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease using genome-wide association study.
Detailed description
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous environmental organisms. NTM lung disease is increasing, however, genetic susceptibility of patients with the disease have not been identified. To elucidate the genetic susceptibility of NTM lung disease, the investigators perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) including patients with NTM lung disease and healthy controls (case : control = 1 : 3). The age-, sex-matched control group will be recruited from the Korean Healthy Twin Study.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Finding of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the risk of NTM lung disease compared with controls | Baseline | To identify SNPs related to NTM lung disease using logistic regression after controlling for confounders (GWAS statistical significance threshold, P \< 5.00\*E-08) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Finding of SNPs associated with the risk of severe NTM lung disease compared with controls | Baseline | To identify SNPs related to severe NTM lung disease compared with controls using logistic regression after controlling for confounders (GWAS statistical significance threshold, P \< 5.00\*E-08) |
| Finding of SNPs associated with the risk of severe NTM lung disease compared with mild NTM lung disease | Baseline | To identify SNPs related to severe NTM lung disease compared with mild NTM lung disease using logistic regression after controlling for confounders (GWAS statistical significance threshold, P \< 5.00\*E-08) |
| Finding of SNPs associated with the risk of Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease versus M. abscessus lung disease versus controls | Baseline | To identify SNPs related to Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease versus M. abscessus lung disease versus controls using multinomial logistic regression after controlling for confounders (GWAS statistical significance threshold, P \< 5.00\*E-08) |
