COMMUNITY GENETICS AND COMMUNITY SELECTION
Ecology, 2003These two papers under discussion (Neuhauser et al. 2003, Whitham et al. 2003) use James Collins' term "community genetics" (Antonovics 1992) to cover a diversity of topics, some new, some old, but worth revisiting or with a new twist. We will attempt to identify the major themes and add yet another important meaning to the idea of "community genetics."

Genetics of Community-Acquired Pneumonia
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2005The variable clinical presentation of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) suggests a genetic predisposition. Specific mutations or polymorphisms in host response genes such as pattern recognition molecules (PRMs), inflammatory molecules, and the coagulation system are likely to play a role in this variable response to CAP.

Genetic Research & Communal Narratives
The Hastings Center Report, 2004The risks and benefits of genetic research extend beyond individual subjects. Genetic research can also affect the communities to which the subjects belong, by rewriting the narratives and reconfiguring the identities that members of the community share and live by.

Genetics in community-acquired pneumonia
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2019Host defense against community-acquired pneumonia depends on an intact innate and acquired immune system. This review analyses the correlation between specific defects and polymorphisms of immunity genes with susceptibility for pneumonia.Mutations in BTK, Bruton's tyrosine kinase, lead to X-linked agammaglobulinemia, a disease characterized by ...

Genetics and Community Health Nursing
Holistic Nursing Practice, 1998Genetic discoveries affect the practice of community health nurses. These nurses identify groups at risk for genetic diseases and participate in newborn screening, carrier detection testing, and presymptomatic genetic testing programs. Community health nurses also provide direct nursing care to individuals with genetic disorders.
