Clustering of cases of dermatophytosis suggests that inherited susceptibility may play a part in determining the epidemiology of some forms of this infection, notably tinea imbricata. Some studies of T. concentricum infection show that autosomal recessive susceptibility may provide an answer althoug
The development of genetic epidemiology methods using recent human genetic mapping information, together with the growing availability of candidate genes, has led to major advances in the identification of host genes involved in human infectious diseases. Within the past year, highlights include the
Combined molecular and epidemiological studies are advancing our understanding of the genetic basis of multifactorial diseases. Several of the results obtained during the past year highlight methodological issues associated with these approaches. For example, the affected sib-pair method has been ap
