Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Severe bacterial infections (SBIs) represent a major health issue worldwide. Many studies have explored patients' genetic predispositions to SBI, but most of them chose a candidate-gene design. Only few adopted a whole-exome sequencing (WES) approach. We aimed at reporting nontargeted WES studies describing genetic variants associated with SBI susceptibility in previously healthy patients without a...
