Rotavirus P[8] Infections in Persons with Secretor and Nonsecretor Phenotypes, Tunisia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
To determine whether rotavirus infections are linked to secretor status, we studied samples from children in Tunisia with gastroenteritis. We phenotyped saliva for human blood group antigens and tested feces for rotavirus.

Can the FUT2 Non-secretor Phenotype Associated With Gut Microbiota Increase the Children Susceptibility for Type 1 Diabetes? A Mini Review

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2020
The global toll of type 1 diabetes (T1D) has steadily increased over the last decades. It is now widely acknowledged that T1D pathophysiology is more complex than expected.

The Importance of Secretor-Status in Norovirus Infection Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Viruses, 2022
Background. Human secretor-status is a strong susceptibility factor for norovirus infection in immunocompetent people. The predominant norovirus genotype GII.4 almost exclusively infects secretors and is also associated with more severe symptoms. However,

Histo-Blood Group Antigens in Children with Symptomatic Rotavirus Infection

Viruses, 2019
Group A rotaviruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis in children. The diversity and unequal geographical prevalence of rotavirus genotypes have been linked to histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) in different human populations.

FUT2 secretor genotype and susceptibility to infections and chronic conditions in the ALSPAC cohort [version 2; referees: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2018
Background: The FUT2 (fucosyltransferase-2) gene determines blood group secretor status. Being homozygous for the inactive “non-secretor” rs601338(A) allele confers resistance to certain infections (e.g. Norovirus, Rotavirus) and susceptibility to others

The Interactions between Host Glycobiology, Bacterial Microbiota, and Viruses in the Gut

Viruses, 2018
Rotavirus (RV) and norovirus (NoV) are the major etiological agents of viral acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Host genetic factors, the histo-blood group antigens (HBGA), are associated with RV and NoV susceptibility and recent findings additionally ...
