FCGR3B gene copy number variation and host susceptibility to vascular leakage in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever / Hoh Boon Peng , Sazaly Abu Bakar and Rafidah Hanim Shueb

DENV causes significantly more human disease than any other abovirus. Annually, an estimated of 50-100 million cases of severe dengue require hospitalization in which 500,000 resulted in DHF/DSS, with more than 20,000 death worldwide (WHO DengueNet report, 2005). Hence, it has now been recognized as...
