  • Gene-by-environment interactions modulate the infant gut microbiota in asthma and atopy. - The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology (2025) · Stickley SA, Fang ZY, Ambalavanan A, Zhang Y, Zacharias AM, Petersen C, Dai D, Azad MB, Brook JR, Mandhane PJ, Simons E, Moraes TJ, Surette MG, Turvey SE, Subbarao P, Duan Q · PubMed 40187613

    Gut microbiota has been associated with health and susceptibility to childhood diseases, including asthma and allergies. However, the genomic factors contributing to interindividual variations in gut microbiota remain poorly understood. We sought to integrate host genomics with early-life exposures to investigate main and interaction effects on gut microbiota during the first year of life. In addition, we identified gut microbes associated with childhood respiratory (asthma, wheeze) and atopic (atopic dermatitis, food/inhalant sensitization) outcomes. We leveraged microbiome data from infant stool at ages 3 months (N = 779) and 1 year (N = 770) from the CHILD Cohort Study. We identified microbial taxa and co-occurring network clusters associated with asthma and atopy by age 5 years. Genome

  • Novel Genetic Locus Implicated for HIV-1 Acquisition with Putative Regulatory Links to HIV Replication and Infectivity: A Genome-Wide Association Study - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 25786224

    ABSTRACT: Fifty percent of variability in HIV-1 susceptibility is attributable to host genetics. Thus identifying genetic associations is essential to understanding pathogenesis of HIV-1 and important for targeting drug development. To date, however, CCR5 remains the only gene conclusively associated with HIV acquisition. To identify novel host genetic determinants of HIV-1 acquisition, we conducted a genome-wide association study among a high-risk sample of 3,136 injection drug users (IDUs) from the Urban Health Study (UHS). In addition to being IDUs, HIV- controls were frequency-matched to cases on environmental exposures to enhance detection of genetic effects. We tested independent replication in the Women's Interagency HIV Study (N=2,533). We also examined publicly available gene ex
