The pathogenesis of Whipple’s disease (WD) remains largely unknown, as WD strikes only a very small minority of the individuals infected with Tropheryma whipplei (Tw). Asymptomatic carriage of Tw is less rare. We studied a large multiplex French kindred, containing four otherwise healthy WD patients (mean age: 76.7 years) and five healthy carriers of Tw (mean age: 55 years). We used a strategy combining genome-wi...
