Genetic susceptibility to mycobacteria and other infectious pathogens in humans.

Abstract excerpt

Substantial evidence exists that host genes are important in determining the outcome of infection with mycobacteria and other intracellular pathogens. Geographical variation in the prevalence of malaria has facilitated the recognition of many genes important in determining interindividual variability in susceptibility to the severe forms of this infection. This success has, however, been difficult to achieve in...
