- Genetics and infectious disease | Some people are more prone to infection than others. One answer could be to dose them with the molecules that their immune systems cannot make| Economist.com: Different alleles of certain genes cause some people to succumb to infection whereas others are left relatively unscathed. They thus hope to explain not only why some people can be infested with virulent microbes without contracting a disease (whereas others become ill even though they are less infected) but also why such patterns run in families and in ethnic groups. A single gene out of the 25,000 or so in the human genome can make all the difference to whether or not a person suffers from many common diseases. The lack of a molecule called type 1 interferon plays a role in innate immunity: the defence against infection that babies are born with. Adaptive immunity is thought to be a response to specific bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites (the development of specific antibodies). Innate immunity is the body's general response to all threats of disease; however new research suggests that innate immunity could be specific, too and it is genetic trait.
