Genetic epidemiology of susceptibility to malaria: not only academic exercises.

Parassitologia - 1 Jun 2008

Verra F, Avellino P, Bancone G, Mangano V, Modiano D

Abstract excerpt

Descriptive genetic epidemiology represents the initial step of a logical procedure of linked and consequential phases spanning from the identification of genes involved in the resistance/susceptibility to diseases, to the determination of the underlying mechanisms and finally to the possible translation of the acquired knowledge in new control tools. In malaria, the rational development and potential of this...
