Moderate-to-severe asthma in individuals of European ancestry: a genome-wide association study (2018)
Journal Article

Background Few genetic studies that focus on moderate-to-severe asthma exist. We aimed to identity novel genetic variants associated with moderate-to-severe asthma, see whether previously identified genetic variants for all types of asthma contribut...

Genetic risk factors for the development of pulmonary disease identified by genome-wide association (2018)
Journal Article

Chronic respiratory diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) combined affect over 500 million people worldwide. While environmental factors are important in disease progression, as... Read More about Genetic risk factors for the development of pulmonary disease identified by genome-wide association.

Urinary extracellular vesicle protein profiling and endogenous lithium clearance support excessive renal sodium wasting and water reabsorption in thiazide induced hyponatremia (2018)
Journal Article

Introduction Thiazide diuretics are amongst the most widely used anti-hypertensive medicines worldwide. Thiazide-Induced Hyponatremia (TIH) is one of their most clinically significant adverse effects. A priori TIH must result from excessive saliur...

Clinical and molecular features of thiazide-induced hyponatremia (2018)
Journal Article

Hypertension affects more than 30% of the world’s adult population and thiazide (and thiazide-like) diuretics are amongst the most widely used, effective and least costly treatments available, with all-cause mortality benefits equivalent to ACE inhib...

A Genome-Wide Association Study in Hispanics/Latinos Identifies Novel Signals for Lung Function. The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (2018)
Journal Article

Rationale: Lung function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are heritable traits. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous pulmonary function and COPD loci, primarily in cohorts of European ancestry. Objectives:...

Chloride intracellular channel 1 (CLIC1) contributes to modulation of cyclic AMP-activated whole cell chloride currents in human bronchial epithelial cells (2018)
Journal Article

Chloride channels are known to play critical physiological roles in many cell types. Here we describe the expression of anion channels using RNA Seq in primary cultures of human Bronchial Epithelial Cells (hBECs). Chloride intracellular channel (CLIC...
