Cytokine gene polymorphisms and atopic disease in two European cohorts. (ECRHS-Basel and SAPALDIA) (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Atopy and allergic phenotypes are biologically characterized by an imbalanced T helper cell response skewed towards a type 2 (TH2) immune response associated with elevated serum immunoglob
Effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 isoenzyme and N-acetyltransferase-2 genes on the metabolism of artemisinin-based... (Publications)
The pharmacogenetics of antimalarials is poorly known, although its application might be critical to optimize treatment. This population pharmacokinetic-pharmacogenetic study aimed at assessing the ef
