Genome-wide association (GWA) studies aim to dissect the relationship between genotype and phenotype. So far, the focus has been on nuclear genetic determinants as variation in the mitochondrial genome is often low in the study cohorts. Despite this observ ...
The highly polymorphic human leukocyte antigen (HLA) locus encodes cell surface proteins that are critical for immunity. HLA-A expression levels vary in an allele-dependent manner, diversifying allele-specific effects beyond peptide-binding preference. Ana ...
Population genomic analyses can be an important tool in understanding local adaptation. Identification of potential adaptive loci in such analyses is usually based on the survey of a large genomic dataset in combination with environmental variables. Phenot ...
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 ...
A RNA interference, also called a gene knockdown, is a biological technique which consists of inhibiting a targeted gene in a cell. By doing so, one can identify statistical dependencies between a gene and a cell phenotype. However, during such a gene inhi ...
Schizophrenia is a chronic disorder determined by a complex mix of genetic and environmental factors. To better understand the contributions of human genetic variation to schizophrenia, we performed a genome-wide association study of a validated endophenot ...
Outcomes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and treatment depend on viral and host genetic factors. Here we use human genome-wide genotyping arrays and new whole-genome HCV viral sequencing technologies to perform a systematic genome-to-genome study of 5 ...
Immune control of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) infection is typically associated with effective Gag-specific CD8+ T-cell responses. We here focus on HLA-B14, which protects against HIV disease progression, but the immunodominant HLA-B14-rest ...
HIV-1 set-point viral load-the approximately stable value of viraemia in the first years of chronic infection-is a strong predictor of clinical outcome and is highly variable across infected individuals. To better understand HIV-1 pathogenesis and the evol ...
The contribution of host genetic and nongenetic factors to immunological differences in humans remains largely undefined. Here, we generated bacterial-, fungal-, and viral-induced immune transcriptional profiles in an age- and sex-balanced cohort of 1,000 ...
