Interventions for preventing distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) in cystic fibrosis (2021)
Journal Article
Carroll, W., Green, J., & Gilchrist, F. J. (in press). Interventions for preventing distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) in cystic fibrosis. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2021(12), https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.cd012619.pub3

Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common, life‐limiting, genetically inherited disease. It affects multiple organs, particularly the respiratory system. However, gastrointestinal problems such as constipation and distal intestinal obstruct...

BACKGROUND: Cystic fibrosis is the most common life-limiting autosomal recessive genetic disorder in white populations. Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) is an important morbidity in cystic fibrosis. It is the result of the accumulation o...

Duration of initial antibiotic course is associated with recurrent relapse in protracted bacterial bronchitis (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Grose-Hodge, E., Carroll, W., Rainford, N., Gamble, C., & Gilchrist, F. (2019, September). Duration of initial antibiotic course is associated with recurrent relapse in protracted bacterial bronchitis. Presented at ERS International Congress 2019, Madrid, Spain

Background: Protracted Bacterial Bronchitis (PBB) is a leading cause of chronic wet cough in children. Antibiotic response is a diagnostic criterion but there is little evidence to inform duration of treatment. Relapse is common and those who relapse...

Combined influence of gene-specific cord blood methylation and maternal smoking habit on birth weight (2013)
Journal Article
Haworth, K. E., Farrell, W. E., Emes, R. D., Ismail, K. M. K., Carroll, W. D., Borthwick, H. D., …Fryer, A. A. (2013). Combined influence of gene-specific cord blood methylation and maternal smoking habit on birth weight. Epigenomics, 5(1), 37-49. https://doi.org/10.2217/EPI.12.72

Aim: Evidence suggests that folic acid intake affects birth weight and that these effects may be mediated via the fetal epigenome. Our previous array data indicate that methylation in human cord blood at gene-specific CpGs is associated with birth we...

Antiepileptic drugs and the fetal epigenome (2012)
Journal Article
Emes, R. D., Clifford, H., Haworth, K. E., Farrell, W. E., Fryer, A. A., Carroll, W. D., …KM, I. (2013). Antiepileptic drugs and the fetal epigenome. Epilepsia, 54(1), e16-e19. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1528-1167.2012.03673.x

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) can lower maternal folate and increase maternal homocysteine levels, which are known to affect the methyl cycle and hence DNA methylation levels. The influence of in utero exposure to AEDs on fetal DNA methylation was inves... Read More about Antiepileptic drugs and the fetal epigenome.

Asthma severity and atopy: how clear is the relationship? (2006)
Journal Article
Carroll, W. D., Lenney, W., Child, F., Strange, R. C., Jones, P. W., Whyte, M. K., …Fryer, A. A. (2006). Asthma severity and atopy: how clear is the relationship?. Archives of Disease in Childhood, 91(5), 405 - 409. https://doi.org/10.1136/adc.2005.088278

BACKGROUND: The relationship between asthma severity and atopy is complex. Many studies have failed to show significant relationships between clinical severity or lung function and markers of atopic sensitisation. AIM: To determine whether increasing...

Effects of glutathione S-transferase M1, T1 and P1 on lung function in asthmatic families. (2005)
Journal Article
Carroll, W., Lenney, W., Jones, P., Strange, R., Child, F., Whyte, M., …Fryer, A. (2005). Effects of glutathione S-transferase M1, T1 and P1 on lung function in asthmatic families. Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 35(9), 1155 - 1161. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2222.2005.02313.x

RATIONALE: Previous data have suggested that glutathione-S-transferase (GST) genotypes are important in determining the rate of lung function growth in childhood. This effect was most marked in Caucasian children with asthma. OBJECTIVES: We investiga... Read More about Effects of glutathione S-transferase M1, T1 and P1 on lung function in asthmatic families..

Maternal glutathione S-transferase GSTP1 genotype is a specific predictor of phenotype in children with asthma. (2005)
Journal Article
Carroll, W., Lenney, W., Child, F., Strange, R., Jones, P., & Fryer, A. (2005). Maternal glutathione S-transferase GSTP1 genotype is a specific predictor of phenotype in children with asthma. Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, 16(1), 32 - 39. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1399-3038.2005.00249.x

Maternal factors are known to influence the heritability and expression of asthma and atopy. We report the association of maternal, paternal and proband GSTP1 genotype with lung function in 145 Caucasian children with asthma. GSTP1 Val105/Val105 and...
