GSTCD and INTS12 regulation and expression in the human lung (2013)
Journal Article
Obeidat, M., Miller, S., Probert, K., Billington, C. K., Henry, A. P., Hodge, E., …Hall, I. P. (2013). GSTCD and INTS12 regulation and expression in the human lung. PLoS ONE, 8(9), Article e74630. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0074630

Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) meta-analyses have identified a strong association signal for lung function, which maps to a region on 4q24 containing two oppositely transcribed genes: glutathione S-transferase, C-terminal domain containing (GST...

HTR4 gene structure and altered expression in the developing lung (2013)
Journal Article
Hodge, E., Nelson, C. P., Miller, S., Billington, C. K., Stewart, C. E., Swan, C., …Sayers, I. (2013). HTR4 gene structure and altered expression in the developing lung. Respiratory Research, 14(77), https://doi.org/10.1186/1465-9921-14-77

Background: Meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 4 (5-HT4R) gene (HTR4) associated with lung function. The aims of this study were t... Read More about HTR4 gene structure and altered expression in the developing lung.

Leukotriene B4 receptor locus gene characterisation and association studies in asthma (2012)
Journal Article
Tulah, A. S., Beghé, B., Barton, S. J., Holloway, J. W., & Sayers, I. (2012). Leukotriene B4 receptor locus gene characterisation and association studies in asthma. BMC Medical Genetics, 13(Novemb), Article 11. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2350-13-110

Background: Polymorphisms spanning genes involved in the production of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) e.g. ALOX5AP and LTA4H are associated with asthma susceptibility, suggesting a role for LTB4 in disease. The contribution of LTB4 receptor polymorphism is... Read More about Leukotriene B4 receptor locus gene characterisation and association studies in asthma.

Genome-wide association study to identify genetic determinants of severe asthma (2012)
Journal Article
Wan, Y., Shrine, N., Soler Artigas, M., Wain, L., Blakey, J., Moffatt, M., …Hall, I. P. (2012). Genome-wide association study to identify genetic determinants of severe asthma. Thorax, 67(9), https://doi.org/10.1136/thoraxjnl-2011-201262

Background The genetic basis for developing asthma has been extensively studied. However, association studies to date have mostly focused on mild to moderate disease and genetic risk factors for severe asthma remain unclear. Objective To identify co...

Genetic basis for personalized medicine in asthma (2012)
Journal Article
Portelli, M. A., & Sayers, I. (2012). Genetic basis for personalized medicine in asthma. Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 6(2), https://doi.org/10.1586/ers.12.9

There is heterogeneity in patient responses to current asthma medications. Significant progress has been made identifying genetic polymorphisms that influence the efficacy and potential for adverse effects to asthma drugs, including; β2-adrenergic re...
