A novel variant in the SLCO2A1 gene in a Chinese patient with chronic gastroenteropathy and primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Chronic enteropathy associated with SLCO2A1 gene (CEAS) results from loss-of-function variants in SLCO2A1, which encodes the prostaglandin transporter (PGT). CEAS follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.

Impact of fatty acid status on immune function of children in low-income countries.

open access: yes, 2011
In vitro and animal studies point to numerous mechanisms by which fatty acids, especially long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), can modulate the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system.

A common HLA-DPA1 variant is associated with hepatitis B virus infection but fails to distinguish active from inactive Caucasian carriers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background and Aims: Chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major health issue worldwide. Recently, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DP locus were identified to be associated with HBV ...

Resequencing of the auxiliary GABA(B) receptor subunit gene KCTD12 in chronic tinnitus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Tinnitus is a common and often incapacitating hearing disorder marked by the perception of phantom sounds. Susceptibility factors remain largely unknown but GABA(B) receptor signaling has long been implicated in the response to treatment and, putatively,

Progress in the use of adeno-associated viral vectors for gene therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The development of safe and efficient gene transfer vectors is crucial for the success of gene therapy trials. A viral vector system promising to meet these requirements is based on the apathogenic adeno-associated virus (AAV-2), a member of the ...

Association of IFNL3 rs12979860 and rs8099917 with biochemical predictors of interferon responsiveness in chronic hepatitis C virus infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background & Aims: Genetic variations near the interferon lambda 3 gene (IFNL3, IL28B) are the most powerful predictors for sustained virologic response (SVR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, compared to other biochemical or ...
