A researcher's work from 20 years ago has helped to crack one of biology’s biggest mysteries.
Once upon a time it was infectious diseases like polio, measles or tuberculosis that most worried parents. With these threats now largely under control, parents face a new challenge – sky-rocketing rates of non-infectious diseases such as asthma, allergies and autism.
The house dust mite allergen Der p 2 is one of the most important indoor allergens associated with allergic disease.
The last decade has seen rapid advances in the genetic technology that is allowing researchers to examine host-pathogen interactions at a whole organism level.
Congenital Toxoplasma gondii infection can result in intracranial calcification, hydrocephalus and retinochoroiditis. Acquired infection is commonly associated
To look at the interplay between PMN and macrophages in disease progression in humans we asked whether polymorphisms at genes that regulate their infiltration..
We performed a discovery GWAS in an extended UAE family (N = 178; 66 diabetic; 112 healthy) genotyped on the Illumina Human 660 Quad Beadchip, with...
To date there have been relatively few studies on genetic determinants of susceptibility to neonatal infection and many of these have methodological...
Using data from three large-scale genetic association studies we compared recruitment strategy and sample return rates.
The interaction between genotype and Epstein Barr virus emerges as relevant for multiple sclerosis etiology.
