Understanding Heritable Variation Among Hosts in Infectious Diseases Through the Lens of Twin Studies

1 Feb 2025

Abstract excerpt

Genetic factors have been hypothesized to contribute to the heterogeneity in the response to infectious diseases (IDs). The classical twin design provides a powerful tool to estimate the role of genetic contributions to variation in infection outcomes. With this design, the impact of heritability on the proneness as well as infection- and vaccine-induced immune responses have been documented for multiple...
