Methylation of the FGFR2 gene is associated with high birth weight centile in humans (2014)
Journal Article
Haworth, K. E., Farrell, W. E., Emes, R. D., Ismail, K. M. K., Carroll, W. D., Hubball, E., …Fryer, A. A. (2014). Methylation of the FGFR2 gene is associated with high birth weight centile in humans. Epigenomics, 6(5), 477-491. https://doi.org/10.2217/EPI.14.40

Aims: This study examined links between DNA methylation and birth weight centile (BWC), and explored the impact of genetic variation. Materials & methods: Using HumanMethylation450 arrays, we examined candidate gene-associated CpGs in cord blood from...

Measuring vitamin D levels: surrogates are insufficient (2014)
Journal Article
Heald, A. H., Anderson, S. G., Scargill, J. J., Short, A. D., Holland, D., Livingston, M., …Donn, R. P. (2015). Measuring vitamin D levels: surrogates are insufficient. International Journal of Clinical Practice, 69(1), 131-135. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijcp.12505

With the increasing evidence of adverse consequences because of low vitamin D levels on health demand for vitamin D, screening is increasing.

The objective of the study was to assess whether parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels/bone profile is suffici... Read More about Measuring vitamin D levels: surrogates are insufficient.

Reduced Testing Frequency for Glycated Hemoglobin, HbA(1c), Is Associated With Deteriorating Diabetes Control (2014)
Journal Article
Driskell, O. J., Holland, D., Waldron, J. L., Ford, C., Scargill, J. J., Heald, A., …Fryer, A. A. (2014). Reduced Testing Frequency for Glycated Hemoglobin, HbA(1c), Is Associated With Deteriorating Diabetes Control. Diabetes Care, 37(10), 2731-2737. https://doi.org/10.2337/dc14-0297

Objective: We previously showed that in patients with diabetes mellitus, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) monitoring outside international guidance on testing frequency is widespread. Here we examined the relationship between testing frequency and diabete...

Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling in rheumatoid arthritis identifies disease-associated methylation changes that are distinct to individual T- and B-lymphocyte populations (2014)
Journal Article
Glossop, J. R., Emes, R. D., Nixon, N. B., Haworth, K. E., Packham, J. C., Dawes, P. T., …Farrell, W. E. (2014). Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling in rheumatoid arthritis identifies disease-associated methylation changes that are distinct to individual T- and B-lymphocyte populations. Epigenetics, 9(9), 1228-1237. https://doi.org/10.4161/epi.29718

Changes to the DNA methylome have been described in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In previous work, we reported genome-wide methylation differences in T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte populations from healthy individuals. Now, using HumanMeth...

Evaluation of accuracy of mediolateral episiotomy incisions using a training model (2014)
Journal Article
Silf, K., Woodhead, N., Kelly, J., Fryer, A., Kettle, C., & Ismail, K. M. K. (2015). Evaluation of accuracy of mediolateral episiotomy incisions using a training model. Midwifery, 31(1), 197-200. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.midw.2014.08.009

Background: Episiotomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide. In the UK the use of episiotomy is selective, rather than routine, and a right mediolateral episiotomy (RMLE) is considered standard practice. According to Th...
