Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is the most common hospital-acquired infection. Unfortunately, genes that identify CDI-susceptible patients have not been well described. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to determine genetic variants associated with the development of CDI. METHODS: A cohort study of Caucasian patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation for multiple...
