Whether you're looking to join our Community Groups, or participate in upcoming research projects, this is the place for you.

We want to ensure parents and carers have textbook tips for how to help their children deal with the pressures associated with studying for stressful assessments and for dealing with the results, whatever they may be.

Folate pathway gene polymorphisms, maternal folic acid use, and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemiaSeveral studies suggest that maternal folic acid supplementation before or during pregnancy protects against childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).
Research
Oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula in Western Australia: Prevalence and trendsA recent international study reported a higher prevalence of oesophageal atresia with or without tracheo-oesophageal fistula (OA±TOF) in Western Australia (WA).

Meta-analysis identifies seven susceptibility loci involved in the atopic marchEczema often precedes the development of asthma in a disease course called the 'atopic march'.
Research
Aberrant expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A (ALDH1A) subfamily genes in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is a common feature of T-lineage tumoursThe class 1A aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH1A) subfamily of genes encode enzymes that function at the apex of the retinoic acid (RA) signalling pathway.
Research
Vehicle refuelling, use of domestic wood heaters and the risk of childhood brain tumours: Results from an Australian case-control studyThe aetiology of childhood brain tumours (CBT) is largely unknown.
Research
Blood DNA methylation biomarkers predict clinical reactivity in food-sensitized infantsThe diagnosis of food allergy (FA) can be challenging because approximately half of food-sensitized patients are asymptomatic.

TagDust2: A generic method to extract reads from sequencing data.Arguably the most basic step in the analysis of next generation sequencing data (NGS) involves the extraction of mappable reads from the raw reads...
