Identifying host targets for drug development with knowledge from genome-wide studies: lessons from HIV-AIDS.

Abstract excerpt

Advances in human genomics are now being effectively applied to the search for host factors underlying susceptibility to common diseases. From the steady stream of studies showing association of host genetic factors with viral diseases, it has become clear that host factors contribute substantially to the variability of viral infections in humans. Candidate gene studies that seek to show associations between...
