Genetic variants in human BCL2L11 (BIM) are associated with ulcerative forms of Buruli ulcer

Buruli ulcer (BU) is a devastating skin mycobacterial infection characterized by extensive cell death, which was previously suggested to be mediated by Bcl2-like protein 11 (BIM, encoded by the BCL2L11 gene). We here report the association of genetic variants in BCL2L11 with ulcerative forms of the...
