Background Large genome-wide association (GWA) studies of European ancestry individuals have identified multiple genetic variants influencing iron status. Studies on the generalizability of these associations to African ancestry populations have been limited. These studies are important given int...

WayneVerhoef, HansVeenemans, JacobienTalsma, Elise F.Harryvan, JanBoekschoten, Mark V.Feskens, Edith J.Melse-Boonstra, Alida[Associations between common variants in iron-related genes with haematological traits in populations of African ancestry]Associations between common variants in iron-related genes with haematological traits in populations of African ancestry
Talsma, Elise F.Brouwer, Inge D.Verhoef, HansMbera, Gloria NKDemir, Ayse Y.Boy, ErickZimmermann, Michael B.Melse-Boonstra, Alida[Reply to SA Tanumihardjo et al.]Reply to SA Tanumihardjo et al.

Biofortification of staple crops through conventional plant breeding, genetic engineering or agronomic approaches, is a promising strategy for increasing dietary nutrient density to improve human health. Successful implementation depends, amongst others, on willingness of consumers and farmers to...


Talsma, Elise F.Melse-Boonstra, AlidaBrouwer, Inge D.[Acceptance and adoption of biofortified crops in low- and middle-income countries]Acceptance and adoption of biofortified crops in low- and middle-income countries

Background: Whereas conventional white cassava roots are devoid of provitamin A, biofortified yellow varieties are naturally rich in b-carotene, the primary provitamin A carotenoid. Objective: We assessed the effect of consuming yellow cassava on serum retinol concentration in Kenyan schoolchild...


Talsma, E.F.Brouwer, Inge D.Verhoef, H.Mbera, G.N.Nwangi, A.M.Demir, Ayse Y.Maziya-Dixon, B.B.Boy, ErickZimmermann, Michael B.Melse-Boonstra, Alida[Biofortified yellow cassava and vitamin A status of Kenyan children: a randomized controlled trial]Biofortified yellow cassava and vitamin A status of Kenyan children: a randomized controlled trial

Context: Biofortification of staple crops is a promising strategy for increasing the nutrient density of diets in order to improve human health. The willingness of consumers and producers to accept new crop varieties will determine whether biofortification can be successfully implemented. Objecti...

Introduction of biofortified cassava as school lunch can increase vitamin A intake, but may increase risk of other deficiencies due to poor nutrient profile of cassava. We assessed the potential effect of introducing a yellow cassava-based school lunch combined with additional food-based recommen...

Biofortification of staple crops with provitamin A (PVA) carotenoids is an innovative strategy for controlling vitamin A (VA) deficiency in low-income countries (LIC). Plant breeding programs have been successful in developing biofortified varieties of cassava, maize, and orange-fleshed sweet pot...
