Chloe A. Smith,Cong Sun,Angela Pezic,Christine Rodda,Fergus J. Cameron,Katie Allen,Maria E. Craig,John B. Carlin,Terry Dwyer,Robyn M. Lucas,Darryl W. Eyles,Andrew S Kemp,Justine A. Ellis,Anne-Louise Ponsonby +13 more
TL;DR: Maternal lifestyle factors and infant genetic variants predict neonatal 25OHD levels; the importance of maternal UVR exposure in late pregnancy is highlighted.

TL;DR: Both lipid levels and lipid-related polymorphisms individually and jointly were associated with significantly increased disability progression in MS, and these results indicate that these polymorphisms and tagged genes might be potential points of intervention to moderate disability progression.
Epstein-Barr virus genotypes and strains in central nervous system demyelinating disease and Epstein-Barr virus-related illnesses in Australia.
Meav-Lang J Lay,Robyn M. Lucas,Cheryl S. Toi,Mala Ratnamohan,Anne-Louise Ponsonby,Dominic E. Dwyer +5 more
TL;DR: EBV genotype A and the GD1 strain were the common EBV genotypes isolated from individuals with and without CNS demyelinating disease, and in subjects with various EBV-related diseases.

TL;DR: There was no substantial association between serum 25[OH]D levels and spherical equivalent or odds of myopia in this study, suggesting that vitamin D levels are unrelated to myopia risk in adults and thus not a suitable target for myopia intervention.
Tightrope Walking: Using Predictors of 25(OH)D Concentration Based on Multivariable Linear Regression to Infer Associations with Health Risks.
TL;DR: The results indicate that variables that are used in the prediction model but not in the model for the health outcome (called instrumental variables), play an essential role in the identification of an effect.
