Pharmacogenetics of inhaled long-acting beta2-agonists in asthma:a systematic review [PDF]
Background: Long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA) are recommended in asthma therapy; however, not all asthma patients respond well to LABA. We performed a systematic review on genetic variants associated with LABA response in patients with asthma.

The battle of the sexes starts in the oviduct: modulation of oviductal transcriptome by X and Y-bearing spermatozoa [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Sex allocation of offspring in mammals is usually considered as a matter of chance, being dependent on whether an X- or a Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoon reaches the oocyte first. Here we investigated the alternative possibility, namely that

Association studies and direct DNA sequencing implicate some known genetic susceptibility loci in the etiology of nonsyndromic orofacial clefts in sub-Saharan African populations [PDF]
Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are congenital dysmorphologies of the human face and oral cavity, with a global incidence of 1 per 700 live births. These anomalies exhibit multifactorial pattern of inheritance, with both genetic and environmental factors playing

Epigenetic changes in human model KMT2A leukemias highlight early events during leukemogenesis
Chromosomal translocations involving the KMT2A gene are among the most common genetic alterations found in pediatric acute myeloid leukemias although the molecular mechanisms that initiate the disease remain incompletely defined.
