Investigating single-gene disorders of childhood infectious disease

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

A common feature of infectious diseases, including an infection with Neisseria meningitidis (Nm), is that only a small proportion of the individuals exposed to the same strain of the bacteria suffer from the clinical disease. Host genetics has long been considered to be an important determinant of both predisposition to and severity of outcome from invasive meningococcal disease (IMD). The human complement system...
