Genome-wide association study reveals genetic link between diarrhea-associated <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i> infection and inflammatory bowel disease

2017-05-12

Abstract excerpt

Diarrhea is the second leading cause of death for children globally, causing 760,000 deaths each year in children under the age of 5. Amoebic dysentery contributes significantly to this burden, especially in developing countries. We hypothesize that genetic variation contributes to susceptibility to diarrhea-associated Entamoeba histolytica infection in Bangladeshi infants; thus, we conducted a genome-wide associ...
