Genetic influences on incidence and case-fatality of infectious disease
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Family, twin and adoption studies suggest that genetic susceptibility contributes to familial aggregation of infectious diseases or to death from infections. We estimated genetic and shared environmental influences separately on the risk of acquiring an infection (incidence) and on dying from it (case fatality).
