Abstract

<b>Aim:</b> To evaluate the genetic factors influencing tuberculosis (TB) clinical outcomes in HIV-infected Black African patients. <b>Materials & methods:</b> We systematically searched and identified eligible publications from >550 databases indexed through February 2021. <b>Results:</b> Eighteen studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Only two cohorts from one study were included in quantitative synthesis of which the low expression <i>MIF-794 CATT5,6</i> (<i>5/5</i> + <i>5/6</i> + <i>6/6</i>) genotypes were not associated with TB infectivity in HIV-infected patients (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 0.46-3.79). Other TB clinical outcomes observed in HIV/TB co-infected patients included: drug-induced liver injury, peripheral neuropathy, mortality, lung function and TB cure. <b>Conclusion:</b> This review finds inconclusive evidence that genetic factors are associated with TB clinical outcomes among HIV-infected patients in sub-Saharan Africa.
