That journey has revealed astonishing links between who we are as individuals and our never-ceasing struggle to survive disease. Most of the 25,000 genes we possess are the same for all of us. Compatibility genes are those that vary most from person to person and give each of us a unique molecular signature. These genes determine both the extent to which we are susceptible to a vast range of illnesses and the differ 606 $aHuman molecular genetics 606 $aImmunogenetics 606 $aInfection$xImmunological aspects 606 $aMedical genetics 615 0$aHuman molecular genetics. 615 0$aImmunogenetics. 615 0$aInfection$xImmunological aspects. 615 0$aMedical genetics. 676 $a616/.042 686 $aMED044000$2bisacsh 700 $aDavis$b Daniel M$g(Daniel Michael),$f1970-$01852423 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968696603321 996 $aThe compatibility gene$94447538 997 $aUNINA
