An african-specific functional polymorphism in KCNMB1 shows sex-specific association with asthma severity (2008)

Seibold, Max A., Wang, Bin, Eng, Celeste, Kumar, Gunjan, Beckman, Kenneth B., Sen, Saunak, ...

A highly heritable and reproducible measure of asthma severity is baseline pulmonary function. Pulmonary function is largely determined by airway smooth muscle (ASM) tone and contractility. The large...

Using DNA pools for genotyping trios (2006)

Beckman, Kenneth B., Abel, Kenneth J., Braun, Andreas, Halperin, Eran

The genotyping of mother–father–child trios is a very useful tool in disease association studies, as trios eliminate population stratification effects and increase the accuracy of haplotype...

DNA oxidation matters: The HPLC–electrochemical detection assay of 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine and 8-oxo-guanine

Helbock, Harold J., Beckman, Kenneth B., Shigenaga, Mark K., Walter, Patrick B., Woodall, Alan A., Yeo, Helen C., ...

Oxidative DNA damage is important in aging and the degenerative diseases of aging such as cancer. Estimates commonly rely on measurements of 8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine (oxo8dG), an adduct that occurs...

Germ-line epigenetic modification of the murine Avy allele by nutritional supplementation

Cropley, Jennifer E., Suter, Catherine M., Beckman, Kenneth B., Martin, David I. K.

Environmental effects on phenotype can be mediated by epigenetic modifications. The epigenetic state of the murine Avy allele is highly variable, and determines phenotypic effects that vary in a...

Dramatic age-related changes in nuclear and genome copy number in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

Golden, Tamara R, Beckman, Kenneth B, Lee, Andreia H J, Dudek, Nancy, Hubbard, Alan, Samper, Enrique, ...

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has become one of the most widely used model systems for the study of aging, yet very little is known about how C. elegans age. The development of the worm, from...

Ethnicity-specific Gene–Gene Interaction between IL-13 and IL-4Rα among African Americans with Asthma

Battle, Natalie C., Choudhry, Shweta, Tsai, Hui-Ju, Eng, Celeste, Kumar, Gunjan, Beckman, Kenneth B., ...

Rationale: Genes in the interleukin (IL)-4/IL-13/IL-4Rα pathway have been shown to be associated with asthma and related phenotypes in some populations, but not in others. Furthermore, interaction...
