Little evidence for genetic susceptibility to Influenza A (H5N1) from family clustering data. Emerging Infectious Diseases 13(7): 1074-1076.1080-6040http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:4551792The apparent clustering of human cases of influenza A (H5N1) among blood relatives has been considered as evidence of genetic variation in susceptibility. We show that, by chance alone, a high proportion of clusters are expected to be limited to blood relatives when infection is a rare event.en-USJournal Article2010-11-0810.3201/eid1307.061538
