BOOK

The Compatibility Gene takes readers on a global journey of
discovery spanning 60 years, involving scores of scientists, and
encompassing the history of transplants and immunology. That
journey has revealed astonishing links between who we are as
individuals and our never-ceasing struggle to survive disease

Most of the 25,000 genes we possess are the same for all of us
Compatibility genes are those that vary most from person to
person and give each of us a unique molecular signature. These
genes determine both the extent to which we are susceptible to a
vast range of illnesses and the different ways each of us fights
disease. In The Compatibility Gene, distinguished immunologist
Daniel Davis draws on new research to suggest a number of even
more fascinating-and controversial-conclusions about
compatibility genes: that we find others more or less sexy
according to their compatibility genes (dating services are
starting to match people in this way); that the wiring between
some neurons is kept or broken according to the activity of
compatibility genes; and that compatibility genes influence the
chances of a couple having a successful pregnancy. Profoundly
personal, life-forming and life-changing decisions appear to be
governed by the actions of a few inherited genes. Most
importantly, Davis proposes that because we each respond slightly
differently to any particular disease, in the not-too-distant
future vaccines and other medications may be tailored to match
our compatibility genes, a revolutionary breakthrough in the
fight against disease

Including vivid portraits of the scientists who worked tirelessly
to unlock the secrets of compatibility genes, as well as patients
who survived disease due to lucky genetic inheritances, The
Compatibility Gene explains an aspect of human biology that will
undoubtedly have profound impacts on medical practice in the 21st
Century
