Human genetics of meningococcal infections.

Human genetics - 1 Jun 2020

Hodeib Stephanie, Herberg Jethro A, Levin Michael, Sancho-Shimizu Vanessa

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis is a leading cause of bacterial septicaemia and meningitis worldwide. Meningococcal disease is rare but can be life threatening with a tendency to affect children. Many studies have investigated the role of human genetics in predisposition to N. meningitidis infection. These have identified both rare single-gene mutations as well as more common polymorphisms associated with meningococcal...
