Human genetics of leishmania infections.

Human genetics - 1 Jun 2020

Blackwell Jenefer M, Fakiola Michaela, Castellucci Léa C

Abstract excerpt

Identifying genetic risk factors for parasitic infections such as the leishmaniases could provide important leads for improved therapies and vaccines. Until recently most genetic studies of human leishmaniasis were underpowered and/or not replicated. Here, we focus on recent genome-wide association studies of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). For VL, analysis across 2287 cases and 2692...
