Genetic Predisposition to Respiratory Diseases: Infiltrative Lung Diseases [PDF]
Respiration, 2006 The availability of high-throughput genotyping and large collaborative clinical networks creating well-characterized patient populations with DNA repositories has facilitated genome-wide scans and candidate gene studies to identify susceptibility alleles for the development of interstitial lung disease.

Genetic predisposition of cholesterol gallstone disease
Annals of Hepatology, 2006 Gallstone disease (GSD) is the result of the interaction between genetic and environmental factors and it is a major disease cause of surgery with high costs to health systems. Worldwide prevalence varies according to the ethnic population suggesting that high prevalence of GSD in certain ethnic groups is due to the presence of genetic factors ...

Genetic Predisposition and Inflammatory Bowel Disease [PDF]
Gastroenterology Research, 2013 Published reports demonstrated finding of different susceptible mutant alleles in association with inflammatory bowel disease (CD/UC) in diseased individuals from different populations. It was then assumed that the existence of different associated mutant alleles in subjects with inflammatory bowel disease from different populations means different ...

Genetic predisposition and the variable course of infectious diseases
Deutsches Ärzteblatt international, 2022 Contact with a pathogen is followed by variable courses of infectious disease, which are only partly explicable by classical risk factors. The susceptibility to infection is variable, as is the course of disease after infection. In this review, we discuss the extent to which this variation is due to genetic factors of the affected individual (the host).
