Infectious diseases and autoimmunity [PDF]

, 2011
Introduction: Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system recognizes and attacks host tissue. In addition to genetic factors, environmental triggers (in particular viruses, bacteria and other infectious pathogens) are thought to play a major role in the ...

Recent advances in genetic predisposition to pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Expert Review of Hematology, 2019
Introduction: Historically, the majority of childhood cancers, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), were not thought to have a hereditary basis. However, recent germline genomic studies have revealed that at least 5 – 10% of children with cancer

Genetic Predisposition to SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Cytokine Polymorphism and Disease Transmission within Households

Biology, 2023
We addressed the question of the influence of the molecular polymorphism of cytokines from different T helper subsets on the susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection. From a cohort of 527 samples (collected from 26 May 2020 to 31 March 2022), we focused on

Genetic predisposition to Parkinson's disease: CYP2D6 and HFE in the Faroe Islands [PDF]

Pharmacogenetics and Genomics, 2008
To investigate whether the genetic variants of CYP2D6 and HFE are more frequent in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients compared with controls in a population where the prevalence of these variants and PD are increased.Blood samples were collected from 79 PD patients and 154 controls in the Faroe Islands.

Mapping genetic determinants of host susceptibility to Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection in mice. [PDF]

, 2016
Background: P. aeruginosa is one of the top three causes of opportunistic human bacterial infections. The remarkable variability in the clinical outcomes of this infection is thought to be associated with genetic predisposition.
