The role of the X chromosome in infectious diseases.

Briefings in functional genomics - 21 May 2022

Hay Megan, Kumar Vinod, Ricaño-Ponce Isis

Abstract excerpt

Many infectious diseases in humans present with a sex bias. This bias arises from a combination of environmental factors, hormones and genetics. In this study, we review the contribution of the X chromosome to the genetic factor associated with infectious diseases. First, we give an overview of the X-linked genes that have been described in the context of infectious diseases and group them in four main pathways...
