Host genetic susceptibility to Clostridium difficile infections in patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation: a genome-wide association study
ConclusionLow serum albumin and genesRLBP1L1 andASPH located on chromosome 8 andATP7B on chromosome 13 were associated with CDI. Of particular interest isATP7B given its copper modulatory role and the sporicidal properties of copper againstClostridium difficile.
