Abstract excerpt
Toxoplasma gondii infection in pregnant females can cause congenital toxoplasmosis. Although maternal and infant immune profiles appear to play a role, studies on this topic are scarce. We analyzed SNPs in the regulatory regions of cytokine genes in 30 mother-newborn pairs, five mothers and two infants with known status, with respect to vertical transmission and the clinical outcome of those infected....
