DESCRIPTION:The contribution of pathogen genetic variation to the risk of 
 developing lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) remains incompletely u
 nderstood. We used genome wide association study (GWAS) cohort to examine 
 the contribution of genetic variations to the risk of LRTI amongst African
  children enrolled in an intensively sampled birth cohort.\n\nBio\nFelix D
