Genetic predisposition to infectious pathogens: a review of less familiar variants.

The Pediatric infectious disease journal - 1 May 2003

Somech Raz, Amariglio Ninette, Spirer Zvi, Rechavi Gideon

Abstract excerpt

The susceptibility and clinical manifestations of infectious diseases in human populations are influenced by a variety of factors, among them host genetics. Obvious examples for the effect of host genetics on predisposition to unique infections are the primary immunodeficiency diseases. Minor gene variants that influence the host immune system are much more common. The iceberg model can be used to illustrate the...
