Influence of host genetic and ecological factors in complex concomitant infections - relevance to sexually transmitted infections.

Abstract excerpt

While there is evidence that host genetics plays a role in susceptibility and subsequent sequelae of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), association findings have been inconsistent in deciphering the causal genes or biological pathways involved in the different life cycle and pathogenesis of infectious microbes. The lack of replication and validation studies from genome-wide association studies in general and...
