Yoghurt consumption is associated with changes in the composition of the human gut microbiome and metabolome

BMC Microbiology, 2022
Background Yoghurt contains live bacteria that could contribute via modulation of the gut microbiota to its reported beneficial effects such as reduced body weight gain and lower incidence of type 2 diabetes.

Genetic epidemiology: Systemic sclerosis [PDF]

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2002
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multisystem connective tissue disease characterised phenotypically by fibrosis and ischaemic atrophy. Its aetiology is most likely multifactorial. A genetic predisposition to the condition is suggested by reports of familial SSc (a positive family history is the strongest risk factor yet identified), by animal models, and ...

Monitoring genetic population biomarkers for wastewater-based epidemiology [PDF]

, 2017
We report a rapid “sample-to-answer” platform that can be used for the quantitative monitoring of genetic biomarkers within communities through the analysis of wastewater. The assay is based on the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of nucleic

A large population-based investigation into the genetics of susceptibility to gastrointestinal infections and the link between gastrointestinal infections and mental illness. [PDF]

, 2020
Gastrointestinal infections can be life threatening, but not much is known about the host's genetic contribution to susceptibility to gastrointestinal infections or the latter's association with psychiatric disorders.

A polygenic and family risk score are both independently associated with risk of type 2 diabetes in a population-based study

Scientific Reports, 2023
The availability of polygenic scores for type 2 diabetes (T2D) raises the question, whether assessing family history might become redundant. However, family history not only involves shared genetics, but also shared environment.
