Immuno-epigenomic analysis identifies attenuated interferon responses in naïve CD4 T cells of adolescents with peanut and multi-food allergyIgE-mediated food allergies have been linked to suboptimal naïve CD4 T (nCD4T) cell activation in infancy, underlined by epigenetic and transcriptomic variation. Similar attenuated nCD4T cell activation in adolescents with food allergy have also been reported, but these are yet to be linked to specific epigenetic or transcriptional changes.

Early introduction of food reduces food allergy – Pro and ConWhen an infant is developmentally ready, a variety of nutritious foods should be introduced including the ‘more allergenic’ foods during infancy

Ovalbumin in breast milk is associated with a decreased risk of IgE-mediated egg allergy in childrenShowed for the first time that the presence of an egg-derived allergen in breast milk is associated with a reduced risk of egg allergy in children at 2.5 years of age

Genome-wide association study identifies peanut allergy-specific loci and evidence of epigenetic mediation in US childrenFood allergy (FA) affects 2%-10% of US children and is a growing clinical and public health problem.

EAACI food allergy and anaphylaxis guidelines: diagnosis and management of food allergyFood allergy can have significant effects on morbidity and quality of life and can be costly in terms of medical visits and treatments.

Epigenome-wide association study reveals longitudinally stable DNA methylation differences in CD4+ T cells from children with IgE-mediated food allergyFood allergy is mediated by a combination of genetic and environmental risk factors, potentially mediated by epigenetic mechanisms.

Gene-vitamin D interactions on food sensitization: A prospective birth cohort studyIt has been hypothesized that vitamin D deficiency (VDD) contributes to the development of food sensitization (FS) and then food allergy.

Efficacy and Safety of Epicutaneous Immunotherapy in Peanut-Allergic Toddlers: Open-Label Extension to EPITOPEThe pivotal phase 3 EPITOPE trial, a 12-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of epicutaneous immunotherapy with the VIASKIN patch containing 250 μg of peanut protein (VP250), previously reported significant treatment response versus placebo in peanut-allergic toddlers aged 1 through 3 years.

Identifying gene network patterns and associated cellular immune responses in children with or without nut allergyAlthough evidence suggests that the immune system plays a key role in the pathophysiology of nut allergy, the precise immunological mechanisms of nut allergy have not been systematically investigated. The aim of the present study was to identify gene network patterns and associated cellular immune responses in children with or without nut allergy.
