Blue genes: genetic variation in our immune genes may be a mixed blessing.

Biologist (London, England) - 1 Jun 2000

Poulton K V

Abstract excerpt

Today we know that almost all aspects of disease are affected in some way by our genes. The size of the genetic contribution towards each disease shows tremendous variation, but ultimately, the key to our survival of onslaught from environmental agents lies within our gene pool.
