Haptoglobin and Sickle Cell Polymorphisms and Risk of Active Trachoma in Gambian Children
BACKGROUND: Susceptibility and resistance to trachoma, the leading infectious cause of blindness, have been associated with a range of host genetic factors. In vitro studies of the causative organism, Chlamydia trachomatis, demonstrate that iron availability regulates its growth, suggesting that hos...
