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).
