Genetic predisposition to leprosy: A major gene reveals novel pathways of immunity to Mycobacterium leprae.

Seminars in immunology - 1 Dec 2006

Schurr Erwin, Alcaïs Alexandre, de Léséleuc Louis, Abel Laurent

Abstract excerpt

The elucidation of the genetic control of susceptibility to common infectious diseases is expected to provide new and more effective tools for prevention and control of some of the most pressings health needs on a global scale. A major advantage of whole genome based genetic approaches is that no a priori assumptions about mechanisms of pathogenesis need to be made in these studies. Hence, genetic studies can...
