Can immunogenetics illuminate the diverse manifestations of respiratory infections?

Abstract excerpt

Improved technologies for high-throughput genotyping and the establishment of well-defined cohorts prompted hope that polymorphisms would be discovered that define a patients' risk of respiratory disease or aid in diagnosis. Genetic pitfalls encountered in this quest include genotyping errors, ethnic differences and linkage dysequilibrium. Differences in the definition of the disease phenotype also create...
