Phenotype definition, age, and gender in the genetics of asthma and atopyR W B Bottema
Department of Pulmonology, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, Hanzeplein 1, Groningen 9700 RB, The Netherlands
Immunol Allergy Clin North Am 25:621-39. 2005..To acquire sufficient power for these types of analyses, international collaboration may be the only way to elucidate the intricate, gene-environmental interactions in atopy and asthma in an age- and gender-dependent manor...
X-chromosome Forkhead Box P3 polymorphisms associate with atopy in girls in three Dutch birth cohortsR W B Bottema
Department of Pulmonology, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands
Allergy 65:865-74. 2010..Regulatory T cells may suppress development of atopy. We evaluated whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of FOXP3 are associated with atopy development in childhood...
TLR-related pathway analysis: novel gene-gene interactions in the development of asthma and atopyN E Reijmerink
Department of Pulmonology, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Allergy 65:199-207. 2010..Numerous studies have shown associations of TLR-related pathway genes with asthma and atopy phenotypes. So far it has not been investigated whether gene-gene interactions in this pathway contribute to atopy and asthma development...
Toll-like receptors and microbial exposure: gene-gene and gene-environment interaction in the development of atopyN E Reijmerink
Department of Pulmonology, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands
Eur Respir J 38:833-40. 2011..Furthermore, complex two- and three-factor interactions exist between genes and the environment. The TLRs and related genes interact with proxy parameters of high microbial exposure in atopy development...
Interaction of T-cell and antigen presenting cell co-stimulatory genes in childhood IgER W B Bottema
Dept of Pulmonology, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands
Eur Respir J 35:54-63. 2010..In conclusion, serum IgE levels are regulated by multiple gene-gene interaction effects in the co-stimulatory pathway. We suggest using research strategies that model multiple gene-gene interactions in genetic studies...
Interleukin 13, CD14, pet and tobacco smoke influence atopy in three Dutch cohorts: the allergenic studyR W B Bottema
Dept of Pulmonology, University Medical Center Groningen, P O Box 196, 9700 AD Groningen, The Netherlands
Eur Respir J 32:593-602. 2008..Additionally, pooled data improved effect estimates and genetic effects could be detected in interaction with important environmental factors...
