Human genomics of the humoral immune response against polyomaviruses

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Olivier Noël Marie Naret, Christian Hammer, Flavia Aurelia Shoko Hodel, Zhi Ming Xu, Petar Scepanovic

Human polyomaviruses are widespread in humans and can cause severe disease in immunocompromised individuals. To identify human genetic determinants of the humoral immune response against polyomaviruses, we performed genome-wide association studies and meta ...

SPRINGERNATURE2020

A comprehensive assessment of demographic, environmental, and host genetic associations with gut microbiome diversity in healthy individuals

Jacques Fellay, Christian Hammer, Flavia Aurelia Shoko Hodel, Petar Scepanovic

Background The gut microbiome is an important determinant of human health. Its composition has been shown to be influenced by multiple environmental factors and likely by host genetic variation. In the framework of the Milieu Interieur Consortium, a total ...

Human genomics of acute liver failure due to hepatitis B virus infection: An exome sequencing study in liver transplant recipients

Jacques Fellay, Christian Hammer, Nimisha Chaturvedi, Petar Scepanovic, Samira Asgari

Acute liver failure (ALF) or fulminant hepatitis is a rare, yet severe outcome of infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) that carries a high mortality rate. The occurrence of a life-threatening condition upon infection with a prevalent virus in individuals ...

Genetic determinants of healthy human immune variance: from humoral response to microbiome diversity

Petar Scepanovic

Identifying the drivers of the observed interindividual variability of the human immune system is crucial to our understanding of infectious and immune-mediated diseases. The contribution of genetic and non-genetic factors to immunological differences betw ...
