Characterization of a WAS splice-site variant in a patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome by Elisabetta Toriello, Rosa Maritato, Antonio De Rosa, Maria Valeria Esposito, Carla Damiano, Carla Damiano, Carmen Rosano, Emilia Cirillo, Antonietta Tarallo, Antonietta Tarallo, Cosimo Abagnale, Francesca Cillo, Roberta Romano, Laura Grilli, Marika Comegna, Marika Comegna, Giancarlo Blasio, Giancarlo Parenti, Giancarlo Parenti, Enrico Maria Surace, Giuseppe Castaldo, Giuseppe Castaldo, Claudio Pignata, Giuliana Giardino

“…By sequencing the polymerase chain reaction product, we identified a premature stop at codon 269; thus, consequently, no Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) was detectable in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the patient. Due to the total absence of a full-length WASp, it is expected that the patient will develop the severe form of the disease, although further monitoring is needed to better define his phenotype.…”

Roles of fermented plant-, dairy- and meat-based foods in the modulation of allergic responses by Muhamad Hafiz Abd Rahim, Nur Hazlin Hazrin-Chong, Hanis Hazeera Harith, Wan Abd Al Qadr Imad Wan-Mohtar, Rashidah Sukor

“…Positive outcomes on AR through fermented foods could be linked to microbial hydrolysis of food allergens, improvement in gut microbiota robustness, and modulation of the immune system that promotes a balance between T helper 1 (Th1) and Th2 cells. Studies on plant-based, non-protein rich fermented foods tend to show more favourable results compared to those on meat-based or protein-rich group. …”
