Improving Pathogen Resistance by Exploiting Plant Susceptibility Genes in Coffee (Coffea spp.)
Coffee (Coffea spp.) is an economically important crop widely cultivated in (sub) tropical countries worldwide. Commercial coffee production relies mainly on two related species, namely C. arabica and C. canephora.

Susceptibility Is New Resistance: Wheat Susceptibility Genes and Exploitation in Resistance Breeding
Adapted pathogens and pests seriously threaten global wheat production. During pathogen and pest infections, wheat susceptibility (S) genes are exploited to support the compatibility of wheat with pathogens and pests.

A gene for susceptibility to tuberculosis [PDF]
The complex genetic nature of what makes some people more susceptible than others to tuberculosis (TB) may finally be revealing itself. The answer may lie in the genes that control cell-mediated immunity specifically a newly discovered gene that governs how macrophages cope with infectious organisms such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Gene–gene interactions in breast cancer susceptibility [PDF]
There have been few definitive examples of gene-gene interactions in humans. Through mutational analyses in 7325 individuals, we report four interactions (defined as departures from a multiplicative model) between mutations in the breast cancer susceptibility genes ATM and CHEK2 with BRCA1 and BRCA2 (case-only interaction between ATM and BRCA1/BRCA2 ...

Genetic Susceptibility of the Host in Virus-Induced Diabetes
Enteroviruses, especially Coxsackie B viruses, are among the candidate environmental factors causative of type 1 diabetes. Host genetic factors have an impact on the development of virus-induced diabetes (VID).

Susceptibility genes for complex epilepsy [PDF]
Common idiopathic epilepsies are, clinically and genetically, a heterogeneous group of complex seizure disorders. Seizures arise from periodic neuronal hyperexcitability of unknown cause. The genetic component is mostly polygenic, where each susceptibility gene in any given individual is likely to represent a small component of the total heritability ...

Is COMT a Susceptibility Gene for Schizophrenia? [PDF]
Catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) is a catabolic enzyme involved in the degradation of a number of bioactive molecules; of principal interest to psychiatry, these include dopamine. The enzyme is encoded by the COMT gene. COMT is located (along with 47 other genes) in a fragment of chromosome 22q11 which when deleted results in a complex syndrome ...
