Journal ArticleDOI

Leonard B. Bacharier,A. L. Boner,K-H. Carlsen,Philippe Eigenmann,Thomas Frischer,M. Götz,Peter Joseph Benedict Helms,John F. Hunt,Andrew H. Liu,Nikolaos G. Papadopoulos,Thomas A.E. Platts-Mills,Petr Pohunek,F. E. R. Simons,Erkka Valovirta,Ulrich Wahn,J. Wildhaber +15 more
TL;DR: This consensus report recommends strategies that include pharmacological treatment, allergen and trigger avoidance and asthma education that are recommended for clinical practice in Europe as well as in North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between {beta}2-adrenoceptor polymorphisms and asthma: a HuGE review.
Ammarin Thakkinstian,Mark McEvoy,Cosetta Minelli,Peter G. Gibson,Bob Hancox,David L. Duffy,John F. Thompson,Ian P. Hall,Joel D. Kaufman,Ting Fan Leung,Peter Joseph Benedict Helms,Hakon Hakonarson,Eva Halpi,Ruth Navon,John Attia +14 more
TL;DR: Haplotype analysis suggests that there may be an interaction between the two sites, with a lower risk of asthma associated with the Glu27 allele (compared with Gln27), and that this risk is modified by the allele at position 16.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early identification of atopy in the prediction of persistent asthma in children
Peter D. Sly,Attilio Boner,Bengt Björkstén,Andrew Bush,Adnan Custovic,Philippe Eigenmann,James E. Gern,Jorrit Gerritsen,Eckard Hamelmann,Peter Joseph Benedict Helms,Robert F. Lemanske,Fernando D. Martinez,Søren Pedersen,Harald Renz,Hugh A. Sampson,Erika von Mutius,Ulrich Wahn,Patrick G. Holt +17 more
TL;DR: It is argued that primary-care physicians, paediatricians, and specialists lack knowledge of the role of atopy in early life in the development of persistent asthma in children.
Journal ArticleDOI
A genomewide scan identifies two novel loci involved in specific language impairment
Dianne F. Newbury,J. D. Cleak,Yumiko Ishikawa-Brush,Angela J. Marlow,Simon E. Fisher,Anthony P. Monaco,Carol Stott,M. J. Merricks,Ian M. Goodyer,Patrick Bolton,L. Jannoun,Vicky Slonims,Gillian Baird,Andrew Pickles,Dorothy V. M. Bishop,Gina Conti-Ramsden,Peter Joseph Benedict Helms +16 more
TL;DR: Both the clinical and epidemiological samples showed independent evidence of linkage on both chromosome 16q and chromosome 19q, indicating that these may represent universally important loci in SLI and, thus, general risk factors for language impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low maternal vitamin E intake during pregnancy is associated with asthma in 5-year-old children.
Graham Devereux,Stephen W Turner,Leone C A Craig,Geraldine McNeill,Sheelagh Martindale,Paul J. Harbour,Peter Joseph Benedict Helms,Anthony Seaton +7 more
TL;DR: In 5-yr-old children, maternal vitamin E intake during pregnancy was negatively associated with wheeze in previous year (odds ratio per year), and maternal nutrient status was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire and plasma levels.
