Cyclooxygenase-2 haplotypes influence the longitudinal risk of malaria and severe malarial anemia in Kenyan children from a holoendemic transmission region.
Anyona, Samuel B; Hengartner, Nicolas W; Raballah, Evans; Ong'echa, John Michael; Lauve, Nick; Cheng, Qiuying; Fenimore, Paul W; Ouma, Collins; Lambert, Christophe G; McMahon, Benjamin H; Perkins, Douglas J (Journal of Human Genetics, 2019-10-29)Cyclooxygenase-2 [(COX-2) or prostaglandin endoperoxide H2 synthase-2 (PTGS-2)] induces the production of prostaglandins as part of the host-immune response to infections. Although a number of studies have demonstrated the ... -
Integrated OMICS platforms identify LAIR1 genetic variants as novel predictors of cross-sectional and longitudinal susceptibility to severe malaria and all-cause mortality in Kenyan children
Achieng, Angela O.; Hengartner, Nicolas W.; Raballah, Evans; Cheng, Qiuying; Anyona, Samuel B.; Lauve, Nick; Guyah, Bernard; Foo-Hurwitz, Ivy; Ong'echa, John M.; McMahon, Benjamin H.; Ouma, Collins; Lambert, Christophe G.; Perkinsa, Douglas J. (EBioMedicine, 2019-07-02)Background Severe malarial anaemia (SMA) is a leading cause of childhood mortality in holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum regions. Methods To gain an improved understanding of SMA pathogenesis, whole genome and transcriptome ...
