Shared pathways to infectious disease susceptibility?Chiea C Khor
Infectious Diseases, Genome Institute of Singapore, 60 Biopolis Street, 02 01 Genome, 138672 Singapore
Genome Med 2:52. 2010..Intriguingly, these still preliminary findings suggest that pathogen innate detection mechanisms may not be as shared among diseases as immune response mechanisms...
CISH and susceptibility to infectious diseasesChiea C Khor
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom
N Engl J Med 362:2092-101. 2010..The interleukin-2-mediated immune response is critical for host defense against infectious pathogens. Cytokine-inducible SRC homology 2 (SH2) domain protein (CISH), a suppressor of cytokine signaling, controls interleukin-2 signaling...

Mannose-binding lectin genotypes: lack of association with susceptibility to thoracic empyemaStephen J Chapman
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford, UK
BMC Med Genet 11:5. 2010..The possible role of MBL genotypic deficiency in susceptibility to thoracic empyema has not previously been reported...
Common NFKBIL2 polymorphisms and susceptibility to pneumococcal disease: a genetic association studyStephen J Chapman
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford, Roosevelt Drive, Oxford OX3 7BN, UK
Crit Care 14:R227. 2010..The possible role of genetic variation in the atypical NF-κB inhibitor IκB-R, encoded by NFKBIL2, in susceptibility to invasive pneumococcal disease has not, to our knowledge, previously been reported upon...
A Mal functional variant is associated with protection against invasive pneumococcal disease, bacteremia, malaria and tuberculosisChiea C Khor
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford, UK

Am J Respir Crit Care Med 176:181-7. 2007..Rare NFKBIA mutations cause immunodeficiency with severe bacterial infection, raising the possibility that common IkappaB gene polymorphisms confer susceptibility to common bacterial disease...
Leprosy and the adaptation of human toll-like receptor 1Sunny H Wong
Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom
PLoS Pathog 6:e1000979. 2010..These observations provide insight into the long standing host-pathogen relationship between human and mycobacteria and highlight the key role of the TLR pathway in infectious diseases...
CD209 genetic polymorphism and tuberculosis diseaseFredrik O Vannberg
Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom
PLoS ONE 3:e1388. 2008..The present study investigates the role of the CD209 -336A/G variant in susceptibility to tuberculosis in a large sample of individuals from sub-Saharan Africa...
Functional polymorphisms in the FCN2 gene are not associated with invasive pneumococcal diseaseStephen J Chapman
The Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford, UK
Mol Immunol 44:3267-70. 2007..Although we are unable to exclude small effects of FCN2 genetic variation on susceptibility to IPD, the result suggests that L-ficolin may not be critical for host defence against pneumococcal infection...
