FUT2 secretor genotype and susceptibility to infections and chronic conditions in the ALSPAC cohort

2018-09-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The FUT2 (fucosyltransferase-2) gene determines blood group secretor status. Being homozygous for the inactive “non-secretor” rs601338(A) allele confers resistance to certain infections (e.g. Norovirus , Rotavirus ) and susceptibility to others (e.g. Haemophilus influenza , Streptococcus pneumonia ). Non-secretors also have an increased risk of type 1 diabetes and inflammatory bowel dise...
