Gene expression profiling was carried out on peripheral blood CD2+ leukocytes from 29 children with asthma. The primary research question is whether gene expression differs in individuals from high socioeconomic status environments vs low socioeconomic status environments.

View SamplesGene expression profiling was carried out on peripheral blood leukocytes from 14 healthy older adults. The primary research question is whether gene expression differs in individuals experiencing chronically high levels of social isolation (by UCLA Loneliness Scale) vs chronically low levels of social isolation.

View SamplesGene expression profiling was carried out on peripheral blood mononuclear cell mRNA samples collected from 4 mo old rhesus macaques subject to maternal rearing, peer rearing, or surrogate peer rearing. The primary research question is whether gene expression differs as a function of early rearing conditions.
Transcriptional modulation of the developing immune system by early life social adversity.

View SamplesGene expression profiling was carried out on peripheral blood CD14+ leukocytes from 21 stressed caregivers and controls (all adult). The primary research question is whether gene expression differs in individuals from high stress vs low stress environments.

View SamplesLyme disease (LD), caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, is the most common tick-borne infectious disease in the United States. We examined gene expression patterns in the blood of individuals with early disseminated LD at the time of diagnosis (Acute LD) and also at approximately 1 month and 6 months following antibiotic treatment. A distinct acute LD profile was observed that was sustained during early convalescence (1 month) but returned to control levels six months after treatment. Using a computer learning algorithm, we identified sets of 20 classifier genes that discriminate LD from other bacterial and viral infections. In addition, these novel LD biomarkers are highly acurate in distinvuishing patients with acute LD from healthy subjects and in discriminating between individuals with active and resolved infecitons. This computational approach offers the potential for more accurate diagnosis of early dissminated Lyme disease. It may also allow improved monitoring of treatment efficacy and disease resolution.
