A STAT6 gene polymorphism is associated with high infection levels in urinary schistosomiasis.

Genes and immunity - 1 Apr 2008

Abstract excerpt

Th2-mediated immunity is critical for human defence against schistosome, and susceptibility to infection is controlled by a major genetic locus, mapped on the 5q31-q33 region comprising the genes IL4, IL5 and IL13. We have reported an association between the rs1800925 polymorphism in the IL13 pro...
