Mothers Secretor Status Affects Development of Childrens Microbiota Composition and Function: A Pilot Study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 BACKGROUND:One mechanism by which early life environment may influence long term health is through modulation of the gut microbiota. It is widely accepted that the optimal source of nutrition in early life is breast milk, with Human Milk Oligosaccharides

Faecal microbiota composition in adults is associated with the FUT2 gene determining the secretor status. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The human intestine is colonised with highly diverse and individually defined microbiota, which likely has an impact on the host well-being. Drivers of the individual variation in the microbiota compositions are multifactorial and include environmental ...

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

FUT2, Secretor Status and FUT3 Polymorphisms of Children with Acute Diarrhea Infected with Rotavirus and Norovirus in Brazil [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 Host susceptibility according to human histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) is widely known for norovirus infection, but is less described for rotavirus. Due to the variable HBGA polymorphism among populations, we aimed to evaluate the association between ...

The secretor status of blood group antigens in the saliva in people with oral cancers: a systematic review [PDF]
Systematic ReviewsBackground Human ABO blood group type and the antigenic secretor status are hypothesized to associate with oral diseases including oral cancer. Secretor status is the ability of individuals to secrete blood group antigens into body fluids.

Secretor Status Is Strongly Associated with Microbial Alterations Observed during Pregnancy.
PLoS ONE, 2015 During pregnancy there are significant changes in gut microbiota composition and activity. The impact of secretor status as determined by genotyping FUT2 (fucosyltransferase 2) gene was taken as one of the confounding factors associated with faecal ...
