Abstract excerpt
Genetic susceptibility to infectious diseases can be explained by nucleotide alteration (mutation, polymorphism, etc.) of genes encoding molecules involved in the entry of or the immune response to microorganisms. We have conducted studies on host genetic factors for the development of mycobacterial infections and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) in the past decade. First, we identified autosomal...
