  • A variant in the gene FUT9 is associated with susceptibility to placental malaria infection
    Sikora, Martin, 1976-; Ferrer Admetlla, Anna; Laayouni, Hafid, 1968-; Menéndez, Clara; Mayor, Alfredo; Bardaji, Azucena; Sigauque, Betuel; Mandomando, Inacio; Alonso, Pedro L.; Bertranpetit, Jaume, 1952-; Casals López, Ferran (Oxford University Press, 2009)
    Malaria in pregnancy forms a substantial part of the worldwide burden of malaria, with an estimated annual death toll of up to 200,000 infants, as well as increased maternal morbidity and mortality. Studies of genetic ...
  • Decay of linkage disequilibrium within genes across HGDP-CEPH human samples: most population isolates do not show increased LD
    Bosch Fusté, Elena; Laayouni, Hafid, 1968-; Morcillo Suárez, Carlos, 1969-; Casals López, Ferran; Moreno Estrada, Andrés; Ferrer Admetlla, Anna; Gardner, Michelle; Rosa, Araceli; Comas, David, 1969-; Graffelman, Jan; Calafell i Majó, Francesc; Bertranpetit, Jaume, 1952- (BioMed Central, 2009)
    Background: It is well known that the pattern of linkage disequilibrium varies between human populations, with remarkable geographical stratification. Indirect association studies routinely exploit linkage disequilibrium ...
  • Evolutionary analysis of genes of two pathways involved in placental malaria infection
    Sikora, Martin, 1976-; Ferrer Admetlla, Anna; Mayor, Alfredo; Bertranpetit, Jaume, 1952-; Casals López, Ferran (Springer, 2008)
    Placental malaria is a special form of malaria that causes up to 200,000 maternal and infant deaths every year. Previous studies show that two receptor molecules, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulphate A, are mediating ...
  • Microarray and deep sequencing cross-platform analysis of the mirRNome and isomiR variation in response to epidermal growth factor
    Llorens, Franc; Hummel, Manuela; Pantano Rubiño, Lorena, 1982-; Pastor, Xavier; Vivancos Prellezo, Ana; Castillo Andreo, Esther; Mattlin, Heidi; Ferrer Admetlla, Anna; Ingham, Matthew; Noguera, Marc; Kofler, Robert; Dohm, Juliane C.; Pluvinet, Raquel; Bayés, Mònica; Himmelbauer, Heinz; del Río, José Antonio; Martí, Eulàlia; Sumoy Van Dyck, Lauro (BioMed Central, 2013)
    Background: Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) plays an important function in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation by binding to its receptor (EGFR) and providing cancer cells with increased survival ...
