Genetic basis of tuberculosis susceptibility in India.

Indian journal of pediatrics - 1 Nov 2002

Shanmugalakshmi S, Pitchappan R M

Abstract excerpt

Tuberculosis is a complex disease resulting from the responses of immunological, genetic and environmental factors to the chronic infectious agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Several genetic factors have been implicated in host disease susceptibility and the prevalence of a disease in a population may be equal to the product of the frequencies of the susceptible alleles present in the population living in an...
