a,b, MHC allelic diversity impacts TB susceptibility (effect size ± 95% CIs) in the null model (not including MHC allele Susu-DRB*13 as an explanatory variable but including individuals with Susu-DRB*13 as part of their MHC profile) (a) but not after excluding individuals carrying Susu-DRB*13 (effect size ± 95% CIs) (b). c, The likelihood of carrying MHC allele Susu-DRB*13 increases in individuals with more MHC alleles.
