It's a sporadic disease, runs in families and smokers are at greater risk.
Epidemiologic data led to the conclusion that MPX was a sporadic disease with a low potential for person-to-person transmission and that infection could not sustain itself in the human population (1).
The researchers also genotyped several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning the progranulin gene to determine whether a common variation at the locus increases the risk of sporadic disease, but they found no evidence of allelic association of any of the SNPs.
