Heritability Estimates.

Phenotype Definition Unadjusted Adjusted HIV-Onlyǂ
Active TB vs. LTBI and “no active TB”* 28.7% 37.1% 38.7%
TB vs. LTBI 56.0% 56.4% 55.2%
RSTR vs. LTBI 50.9% 48.3% 50.4%
RSTR vs. LTBI and Active TB 45.2% 45.2% 45.8%

“no active TB” refers to both RSTRs and subjects who did not have long-term follow up data including IGRA. This includes subjects who were TST+ or TST- during the original study, but could not be categorized without IGRA and long-term data and are referred to as “no active TB” earlier in the document.

“adjusted” refers to estimates that were adjusted for age, sex, and HIV status. For the RSTR vs. LTBI, the age at which they were distinguished as RSTR or LTBI in a sub-study was used. For the other estimates, the age at first presentation was used.

These estimates only included the HIV- subjects and were adjusted for age and sex
