I'm Infected by your genetics

We've known that there is a strong genetic component to leprosy for quite a long time, to the point where 2/3 of humanity can't get the disease (well, that was the fraction last I checked, which was over a decade ago). I'm glad we're finally at the point where we can explore less obvious genetic aspects to other infectious diseases.
