Genes that permit or prevent infections.

The Journal of the Louisiana State Medical Society : official organ of the Louisiana State Medical Society - 1 Jan 2000

Thurmon Theodore F

Abstract excerpt

In addition to heritable immunodeficiencies and polygenic susceptibility, acquisition genes and resistance genes are important genetic determinants of infectious diseases. Normal forms of acquisition genes permit entry of microorganisms into cells; mutations prevent entry. Normal forms of resistance genes prevent infections; mutations permit infections. The Genome Project has resulted in a growing list of each...
