Genetics of susceptibility to human infectious disease.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Dec 2001

Cooke G S, Hill A V

Abstract excerpt

Before Robert Koch's work in the late nineteenth century, diseases such as tuberculosis and leprosy were widely believed to be inherited disorders. Heritability of susceptibility to several infectious diseases has been confirmed by studies in the twentieth century. Infectious diseases, old and new, continue to be an important cause of mortality worldwide. A greater understanding of disease processes is needed if...
