Investigation of genetic variants in human immunodeficiency and an Australian non-Hodgkin lymphoma population

(2020) Investigation of genetic variants in human immunodeficiency and an Australian non-Hodgkin lymphoma population. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This investigative study identified a missense moesin protein variant R171WMSN as the disease-causing mutation in an unknown primary immunodeficiency disorder (PID) through an exome sequencing (WES) approach. As PIDs can confer incidence of lymphoproliferative disorders, candidate genes and variants identified by WES were also investigated in another lymphoid abnormality, i.e. non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), to determine association with NHL subtypes. In addition, variants located within microRNAs and their targets were investigated in association with NHL susceptibility in an Australian cohort of matched NHL cases and healthy controls where SNPs in MIR143 were shown to be significantly associated with NHL risk.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
