Summary
Scientific Project 3: Human Genetic Risk Factors for Disseminated Coccidioidomycosis (DCM) ABSTRACT This project will focus on elucidating human host genetic risk variants that predispose individuals to DCM. For the past 80 years, epidemiological studies have demonstrated that certain specific racial and ethnic groups were more likely to progress towards severe disseminated Coccidioidomycosis, While many of these observations have held up over, the underlying mechanistic and genetic pathogenesis underlying these epidemiological observation have not been fully evaluated. There have been several
