Peer-Reviewed INFECTIOUS DISEASE OFFICIAL PEER-REVIEWED HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE Clinical Trial Highlights 51st Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy Translational Research Therapeutic Updates September 17 - 20, 2011 Chicago, Illinois, USA Infectious Disease Genomics: Individual Variability, New Opportunitites Technological advances now enable comparisons of more than a half a million genetic variants in subjects with disease and population controls. A large number of novel genetic loci involved in susceptibility to common immune-related diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, have been identified through genome-wide association studies. More recently, this methodology has been successfully applied to identify loci involved in infectious disease susceptibility [Vannberg FO et al. Immunol Rev 2011]. See page 4.
