| Popis: | In this group we would like to answer the question why people show a different response against certain pathogens. In many infections the course of the disease can range from asymptomatic carriage to the severest forms even death. In the past we have analysed candidate genes and their role in the course of malaria and could detect some polymorphisms influencing infectious diseases in the genes encoding NOS2, MBL2, IFNa, FCN2, and receptors for IFNg and IFNa. Having worked initially mainly on malaria we broadened our spectrum also to other infectious diseases like hepatitis B, Leprosy, schistosomiasis. Here we give a short overview about ongoing projects. |
