From:- Carter C.J. Schizophrenia susceptibility genes directly implicated in the life cycles of pathogens: Cytomegalovirus, Influenza, Herpes simplex, Rubella, and T.Gondii, Schiz Bull, in press, 2008

A summary of the human genes implicated in infection by various species of virus and pathogen. 

The data are a summary of association data stored at the HugeNet Phenopedia and of medline searches.

Genes also implicated in schizophrenia are highlighted in bold.
