Pereira G, Francis R, Gissler M, Hansen S, Kodesh A, Leonard H, et al.
Autism Res . 2021 Aug; 14(11):2432-2443. PMID: 34423916
It is biologically plausible that risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is elevated by both short and long interpregnancy intervals (IPI). We conducted a retrospective cohort study of singleton, non-nulliparous...

Jamieson S, Fakiola M, Tang D, Scaman E, Syn G, Francis R, et al.
Clin Infect Dis . 2021 Mar; 73(10):1860-1870. PMID: 33693626
Background: Our goal was to identify genetic risk factors for severe otitis media (OM) in Aboriginal Australians. Methods: Illumina® Omni2.5 BeadChip and imputed data were compared between 21 children with...

Lassmann T, Francis R, Weeks A, Tang D, Jamieson S, Broley S, et al.
NPJ Genom Med . 2020 Dec; 5(1):54. PMID: 33303739
Exome sequencing has enabled molecular diagnoses for rare disease patients but often with initial diagnostic rates of ~25-30%. Here we develop a robust computational pipeline to rank variants for reassessment...

Weeks A, Francis R, Neri J, Costa N, Arrais N, Lassmann T, et al.
Sci Data . 2020 Oct; 7(1):360. PMID: 33087711
Exome sequencing is widely used in the diagnosis of rare genetic diseases and provides useful variant data for analysis of complex diseases. There is not always adequate population-specific reference data...

Castellucci L, Almeida L, Cherlin S, Fakiola M, Francis R, Carvalho E, et al.
Clin Infect Dis . 2020 Aug; 72(10):e515-e525. PMID: 32830257
Background: Our goal was to identify genetic risk factors for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by Leishmania braziliensis. Methods: Genotyping 2066 CL cases and 2046 controls using Illumina HumanCoreExomeBeadChips provided data...

Lee B, Gross R, Francis R, Karlsson H, Schendel D, Sourander A, et al.
Eur J Epidemiol . 2019 Mar; 34(8):785-792. PMID: 30891686
Season of birth has been hypothesized to be a risk factor for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the evidence has been mixed and limited due to methodological challenges. We examine...

Hansen S, Schendel D, Francis R, Windham G, Bresnahan M, Levine S, et al.
J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry . 2019 Mar; 58(9):866-875. PMID: 30851399
Objective: Familial recurrence risk is an important population-level measure of the combined genetic and shared familial liability of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Objectives were to estimate ASD recurrence risk among...

Hoffmann K, Milech N, Juraja S, Cunningham P, Stone S, Francis R, et al.
Sci Rep . 2018 Aug; 8(1):12538. PMID: 30135446
Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) offer great potential to deliver therapeutic molecules to previously inaccessible intracellular targets. However, many CPPs are inefficient and often leave their attached cargo stranded in the...

Syn G, Blackwell J, Jamieson S, Francis R
Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz . 2018 May; 113(6):e170471. PMID: 29846382
Toxoplasma gondii uses epigenetic mechanisms to regulate both endogenous and host cell gene expression. To identify genes with putative epigenetic functions, we developed an in silico pipeline to interrogate the...

Stanojevic S, Graham B, Cooper B, Thompson B, Carter K, Francis R, et al.
Eur Respir J . 2017 Sep; 50(3). PMID: 28893868
There are numerous reference equations available for the single-breath transfer factor of the lung for carbon monoxide (); however, it is not always clear which reference set should be used...
