[Role of host response during severe bacterial infection].

Abstract excerpt

Explosion of knowledge both in human genomics and in host inflammatory response explains the increasing interest in infectious disease genetics over the last 5 years. However, twin and adoptee studies have suggested more than 15 years ago, that host genetic factors are major determinants of susceptibility to infectious diseases in humans. Recently, candidate gene studies (association studies) and human genomewide...
