What is known about the genetic profiles of those more likely to be infected vs. those least likely? (if that is known) SARS seems to me to be a disease that somehow works via the immune system. I keep running across this CCR5-D32 thing and immune system related diseases. SARS may cue on CCR5 cytokines for cell surface binding

Rather than being a disease that works via the immune system, SARS seems to be causing an over reaction of the immune system, which is why people with aids, who have been exposed, have not apparently caught it (in Hong Kong and China).
