Abstract：
:Infectious diseases are the result of the exposure of susceptible hosts to pathogenic microbes. Genetic factors are important determinants of host susceptibility and efforts are being made to establish the molecular identity of such genetic susceptibility variants by genome-wide association studies. Results obtained to date partly confirm already known genetic vulnerabilities, but also point to new and unexpected mechanisms of susceptibility that extend from classical innate and acquired immunity to weaknesses in constitutional resistance. These studies also revealed an overlap in genetic control between infectious disease and other common immune and inflammatory disorders.

All of the TLRs use the adaptor MyD88 to transduce a signal; however, two newly identified signaling molecules, TIRAP and TRIF, interact with a subset of the TLRs, suggesting a signaling specific...
