<em>SERPINA1 </em>methylation and lung function in tobacco-smoke exposed European children and adults: a meta-analysis of ALEC population-based... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The pathophysiological role of SERPINA1 in respiratory health may be more strongly determined by the regulation of its expression than by common genetic variants. A family based study of p
Drug combinations against soil-transmitted helminth infections (Publications)
The soil-transmitted helminths (STHs), Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworm and Trichuris trichiura are common in areas with warm and moist climates with little access to adequate water, sanitation, and hyg
Predictors of residual antimalarial drugs in the blood in community surveys in Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Understanding pattern of antimalarials use at large scale helps ensuring appropriate use of treatments and preventing the spread of resistant parasites. We estimated the proportion of indi
Assessment of ultra-sensitive malaria diagnosis versus standard molecular diagnostics for malaria elimination: an in-depth molecular community... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Submicroscopic malaria infections contribute to transmission in exposed populations but their extent is underestimated even by standard molecular diagnostics. Sophisticated sampling and ul
Meta-analysis of exome array data identifies six novel genetic loci for lung function (Publications)
Background: Over 90 regions of the genome have been associated with lung function to date, many of which have also been implicated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods: We carried out met
