Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies ten loci influencing allergic sensitization

Allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (present in allergic sensitization) has a central role in the pathogenesis of allergic disease.

Does genetic regulation of IgE begin in utero?

Elucidation of early life factors is critical to understand the development of allergic diseases, especially those manifesting in early life such as food allerg

Diabete$ Re$earch in Au$tralia

It may surprise you to know that the Australian government has invested almost $300 million dollars since 2000 towards research and clinical trials for diabetes

Rare variant analysis in eczema identifies exonic variants in DUSP1, NOTCH4 and SLC9A4

Previous genome-wide association studies revealed multiple common variants involved in eczema but the role of rare variants remains to be elucidated. Here, we investigate the role of rare variants in eczema susceptibility. We meta-analyze 21 study populations including 20,016 eczema cases and 380,433 controls. Rare variants are imputed with high accuracy using large population-based reference panels.

Genome-wide association and HLA fine-mapping studies identify risk loci and genetic pathways underlying allergic rhinitis

GWAS analyses of allergic sensitization against inhalant allergens and nonallergic rhinitis suggested shared genetic mechanisms across rhinitis-related traits

Azithromycin mitigates human rhinovirus impact on barrier integrity and function in non-diseased airway epithelium

Azithromycin improves symptomology in various chronic airway diseases exacerbated by viral infections. However, the mechanisms underlying the apparent antiviral effects of azithromycin remain unclear.

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies three new risk loci for atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a commonly occurring chronic skin disease with high heritability. Apart from filaggrin (FLG), the genes influencing atopic...

Airway Epithelial Cells Condition Dendritic Cells to Express Multiple Immune Surveillance Genes

AEC-conditioned DC showed selective upregulation of chemokines that recruit Th1 cells, but minimal change in chemokines linked to Th2 cell recruitment.
