      Ellinghaus, David; Degenhardt, Frauke; Juzenas, Simonas; Lerga-Jaso, Jon; Wendorff, Mareike; Maya-Miles, Douglas; Uellendahl-Werth, Florian; ElAbd, Hesham; Lenning, Ole Bernt; Myhre, Ronny; Vadla, May Sissel; Holten, Aleksander Rygh; Kildal, Anders Benjamin; Lind, Andreas; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Hoff, Dag Arne Lihaug; Müller, Fredrik; Solligård, Erik; Holter, Jan Cato; Afset, Jan Egil; Damås, Jan Kristian; Bergan, Jonas; Risnes, Kari; Muller, Karl Erik; Tonby, Kristian; Heggelund, Lars; Tuset Gustad, Trine; Grimsrud, Marit Mæhle; Dudman, Susanne Gjeruldsen; Folseraas, Trine; Skogen, Vegard; Hov, Johannes Espolin Roksund; Karlsen, Tom Hemming (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-15)
      Given the highly variable clinical phenotype of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a deeper analysis of the host genetic contribution to severe COVID-19 is important to improve our understanding of underlying disease mechanisms. Here, we describe an extended GWAS meta-analysis of a well-characterized cohort of 3255 COVID-19 patients with respiratory failure and 12 488 population controls from ...

    • Mapping the human genetic architecture of COVID-19 

      Niemi, Mari E.K.; Karjalainen, Juha; Liao, Rachel G.; Neale, Benjamin M.; Daly, Mark; Ganna, Andrea; Pathak, Gita A.; Andrews, Shea J.; Kanai, Masahiro; Veerapen, Kumar; Fernandez-Cadenas, Israel; Schulte, Eva C.; Striano, Pasquale; Afset, Jan Egil; Solligård, Erik; Damås, Jan Kristian; Risnes, Kari; Bettini, Laura Rachele; Gustad, Lise Tuset; Holter, Jan Cato; Hov, Johannes Espolin Roksund; Karlsen, Tom Hemming; Folseraas, Trine; Holten, Aleksander Rygh; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Tonby, Kristian; Lind, Andreas; Müller, Fredrik; Dudman, Susanne Gjeruldsen; Grimsrud, Marit Mæhle; Vadla, May Sissel; Myhre, Ronny; Kildal, Anders Benjamin; Hoff, Dag Arne Lihaug; Muller, Karl Erik; Heggelund, Lars; Bergan, Jonas; Skogen, Vegard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-08)
      The genetic make-up of an individual contributes to the susceptibility and response to viral infection. Although environmental, clinical and social factors have a role in the chance of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and the severity of COVID-191,2, host genetics may also be important. Identifying host-specific genetic factors may reveal biological mechanisms of therapeutic relevance and clarify causal ...

    • Phenotypic and genotypic characterisation of thymine auxotrophy in Escherichia coli isolated from a patient with recurrent bloodstream infection 

      Jakovljev, Aleksandra; Afset, Jan Egil; Haugum, Kjersti; Steinum, Harald Otto; Rønning, Torunn Gresdal; Samuelsen, Ørjan; Ås, Christina Gabrielsen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-08)
      Introduction<p> <p>Thymine auxotrophic in vitro mutants of Escherichia coli were first reported in the mid-20th century. Later, thymine-dependent clinical strains of E. coli as well as other Enterobacterales, Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus have been recognized as the cause of persistent and recurrent infections. <p>Objectives <p>The aim of this study was to characterize the ...

    • Predicting in-hospital death from derived EHR trajectory features 

      Bopche, Rajeev; Gustad, Lise Tuset; Afset, Jan Egil; Damås, Jan Kristian; Nytrø, Øystein (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      Medical histories of patients can provide insight into the immediate future of a patient. While most studies propose to predict survival from vital signs and hospital tests within one episode of care, we carry out selective feature engineering from longitudinal historical medical records in this study to develop a dataset with derived features. We then train multiple machine learning models for the ...

    • Risk of lower respiratory tract infections: a genome-wide association study with Mendelian randomization analysis in three independent European populations 

      Flatby, Helene Marie; Rasheed, Humaira; Ravi, Anuradha; Thomas, Laurent; Liyanarachi, Kristin Vardheim; Afset, Jan Egil; DeWan, Andrew; Brumpton, Ben Michael; Hveem, Kristian; Åsvold, Bjørn Olav; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Damås, Jan Kristian; Solligård, Erik; Rogne, Tormod (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-09)
      Objective: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Few studies have previously investigated the genetic susceptibility and potential risk factors for LRTI. Methods: We used data from UK Biobank, HUNT, and FinnGen, to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Cases were subjects hospitalized with LRTI, and controls were subjects with ...

    • SARS-CoV-2 Nsp13 encodes for an HLA-E-stabilizing peptide that abrogates inhibition of NKG2A-expressing NK cells

      Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune cells that contribute to host defense against virus infections. NK cells respond to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in vitro and are activated in patients with acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, by which mechanisms NK cells detect SARS-CoV-2-infected cells remains largely unknown. Here, we show that the ...
