Vonk J, Scholtens S, Postma D, Moffatt M, Jarvis D, Ramasamy A, et al.
PLoS One . 2017 Mar; 12(3):e0172716. PMID: 28253294
Background: Genome-wide association studies have identified novel genetic associations for asthma, but without taking into account the role of active tobacco smoking. This study aimed to identify novel genes that...

Melen E, Granell R, Kogevinas M, Strachan D, Gonzalez J, Wjst M, et al.
Clin Exp Allergy . 2013 Mar; 43(4):463-74. PMID: 23517042
Background: Both asthma and obesity are complex disorders that are influenced by environmental and genetic factors. Shared genetic factors between asthma and obesity have been proposed to partly explain epidemiological...

Wan Y, Shrine N, Soler Artigas M, Wain L, Blakey J, Moffatt M, et al.
Thorax . 2012 May; 67(9):762-8. PMID: 22561531
Background: The genetic basis for developing asthma has been extensively studied. However, association studies to date have mostly focused on mild to moderate disease and genetic risk factors for severe...

James E, Harney S, Wordsworth B, Cookson W, Davis S, Moffatt M
Genes Immun . 2005 Jun; 6(5):430-7. PMID: 15959535
Variation in genes encoding costimulatory molecules expressed on lymphocytes has been expected to contribute to the genetic component of inflammatory disease, but only the gene encoding the inhibitory protein, CTLA-4,...

Kurz T, Altmueller J, Strauch K, Ruschendorf F, Heinzmann A, Moffatt M, et al.
Allergy . 2005 Jan; 60(2):192-9. PMID: 15647040
Background: Dissecting complex diseases in underlying distinct traits and studying these for their genetic basis might enhance the power as well as the specificity, of detection of disease genes. These...

van Hage-Hamsten M, Johansson E, Kronqvist M, Loughry A, Cookson W, Moffatt M
Clin Exp Allergy . 2002 Jun; 32(6):838-42. PMID: 12047428
Background: Polymorphisms within the beta subunit of the high-affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon R1-beta ) on chromosome 11q13 have been related to atopy and asthma and the lymphotoxin alpha...
