🚨 Delighted to share our paper defining a new role for IL-6 in TB. 🚨
We used genetic variation to show *reduced* IL-6 signalling is causally associated with *lower* risk of TB.

Altered IL-6 signalling and risk of tuberculosis: a multi-ancestry mendelian randomisation study
Our findings propose a causal relationship between reduced IL-6 signalling and lower
risk of tuberculosis, akin to the effect seen in other IL-6 mediated diseases. This
study suggests that IL-6 antago...
