118 SNPs of folate-related genes and risks of spina bifida and conotruncal heart defects (2009)

Shaw, Gary M, Lu, Wei, Zhu, Huiping, Yang, Wei, Briggs, Farren BS, Carmichael, Suzan L, ...

Abstract Background Folic acid taken in early pregnancy reduces risks for delivering offspring with several congenital anomalies. The mechanism by which folic acid reduces risk is unknown....

Mapping Multiple Sclerosis Susceptibility to the HLA-DR Locus in African Americans (2008)

Jorge R. Oksenberg, Lisa F. Barcellos, Sergio E. Baranzini, Teodorica L. Bugawan, Omar Khan, ...

An underlying complex genetic susceptibility exists in multiple sclerosis (MS), and an association with the HLA-DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602 haplotype has been repeatedly demonstrated in high-risk (northern...

Comparison of Statistical Methods for Estimating Genetic Admixture in a Lung Cancer Study of African Americans and Latinos (2008)

Aldrich, Melinda C., Selvin, Steve, Hansen, Helen M., Barcellos, Lisa F., Wrensch, Margaret R., Sison, Jennette D., ...

A variety of methods are available for estimating genetic admixture proportions in populations; however, few investigators have conducted detailed comparisons using empirical data. The authors...

A second major histocompatibility complex susceptibility locus for multiple sclerosis (2007)

Gregory, Simon G, Barcellos, Lisa F, Walton, Amie, ...

Objective: Variation in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6p21 is known to influence susceptibility to multiple sclerosis with the strongest effect originating from the...

Association of the truncating splice site mutation in BTNL2 with multiple sclerosis is secondary to HLA-DRB1*15 (2006)

Traherne, James A., Barcellos, Lisa F., Sawcer, Stephen J., Compston, Alastair, Ramsay, Patricia P., Hauser, Stephen L., ...

The major histocompatibility complex human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1*15 (DR2) haplotype is strongly associated with risk of multiple sclerosis (MS). The primary susceptibility has been localized...

Heterogeneity at the HLA-DRB1 locus and risk for multiple sclerosis (2006)

Barcellos, Lisa F., Sawcer, Stephen, Ramsay, Patricia P., Baranzini, Sergio E., Thomson, Glenys, Briggs, Farren, ...

Variation in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes on chromosome 6p21.3, specifically the HLA-DR2 or DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602 extended haplotype, confers risk for multiple sclerosis (MS). Previous...
