Abstract
The study attempts to evaluate the association, if any, between CISH polymorphisms and the susceptibility to infectious diseases. The results indicate that variants of CISH are associated with susceptibility to infectious disease and the overall risk of an infectious disease rose by nearly 18% in those carrying the variant CISH alleles.
