Immunogenetics and Histocompatibility

Immunogenetics is the branch of science that deals with the relationship between the immune system and their genetics. Immunogenetics comprises all processes of an organism, which are controlled and influenced by the genes of the organism. Immunogenetics focuses on autoimmune diseases, such as type 1 diabetes, are complex genetic traits which result from defects in the immune system. Defining the immune defects, Identification of genes, may identify new target genes for therapeutic approaches in future.
