Evolutionary determinants of genetic variation in susceptibility to infectious diseases in humans.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Baker Christi, Antonovics Janis

Abstract excerpt

Although genetic variation among humans in their susceptibility to infectious diseases has long been appreciated, little focus has been devoted to identifying patterns in levels of variation in susceptibility to different diseases. Levels of genetic variation in susceptibility associated with 40 human infectious diseases were assessed by a survey of studies on both pedigree-based quantitative variation, as well...
