Exome-wide analysis of copy number variation shows association of the human leukocyte antigen region with asthma in UK Biobank (2022)
Journal Article

Background The role of copy number variants (CNVs) in susceptibility to asthma is not well understood. This is, in part, due to the difficulty of accurately measuring CNVs in large enough sample sizes to detect associations. The recent availability...

Mendelian randomisation of eosinophils and other cell types in relation to lung function and disease (2022)
Journal Article

Rationale Eosinophils are associated with airway inflammation in respiratory disease. Eosinophil production and survival is controlled partly by interleukin-5: anti-interleukin-5 agents reduce asthma and response correlates with baseline eosinophil c...

Human bronchial epithelial cells from patients with asthma have an altered gene expression profile (2022)
Journal Article

Genetic Associations and Architecture of Asthma-COPD Overlap (2022)
Journal Article

Background Some people have characteristics of both asthma and COPD (asthma-COPD overlap), and evidence suggests they experience worse outcomes than those with either condition alone. Research Question What is the genetic architecture of asthma-CO... Read More about Genetic Associations and Architecture of Asthma-COPD Overlap.
