Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) appear to influence the risk of invasive mould disease (IMD) in immunocompromised patients. This raises the question of whether genetic risk prediction can be used to alter clinical practice. This review focuses on the current status of genetic association studies regarding invasive fungal disease among hematology patients, with an emphasis on IMD. RECENT...
