Association of a NOD2 gene polymorphism and T-helper 17 cells with presumed ocular toxoplasmosisWe assessed 30 sibships and 89 parent/case trios of presumed ocular toxoplasmosis (POT) to evaluate associations with polymorphisms in the NOD2 gene.

Confirmation of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia Variants, ARID5B and IKZF1, and interaction with parental environmental exposuresThe polygenic nature of childhood ALL predisposition together with the timing of environmental triggers may hold vital clues for disease etiology.

Genome-Wide Association Study to Identify the Genetic Determinants of Otitis Media Susceptibility in ChildhoodWe identified several novel candidate genes which warrant further analysis in cohorts matched more precisely for clinical phenotypes.

Folate pathway gene polymorphisms, maternal folic acid use, and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemiaSeveral studies suggest that maternal folic acid supplementation before or during pregnancy protects against childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).

An in silico pipeline to filter the Toxoplasma gondii proteome for proteins that could traffic to the host cell nucleus and influence host cell epigenetic regulationTo identify genes with putative epigenetic functions, we developed an in silico pipeline to interrogate the T. gondii proteome of 8313 proteins
