[Genetic control of infectious diseases: from Mendel's laws to exome sequencing].

Abstract excerpt

About one-quarter of deaths worldwide (nearly 13 million per year) are still directly related to infectious diseases. Many new infections have emerged since the end of the 20th century and others will continue to do so. Human beings, like other animals, are not all equal with respect to their susceptibility to infection. Since the 1930s, numerous epidemiological studies have shown that host genetic factors play a...
