Prospective genetic screening decreases the incidence of Abacavir hypersensitivity reactions in the Western Australian HIV cohort study [PDF]
Abacavir therapy is associated with significant drug hypersensitivity in ∼8% of recipients, with retrospective studies indicating a strong genetic association with the HLA-B*5701 allelle.

A Case of a Rapidly Enlarging Neck Mass with Airway Compromise [PDF]
Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma (ATC) is one of the most lethal tumours in humans, extremely rare in occurrence and very aggressive in nature. We hereby present a rare case of ATC with airway compromise.

Impact of novel hemophilia therapies around the world
Hemophilia A and B are hereditary bleeding disorders, characterized by factor VIII or IX deficiencies, respectively. For many decades, prophylaxis with coagulation factor concentrates (replacement therapy) was the standard‐of‐care approach in hemophilia.

Targeted genetic repair: an emerging approach to genetic therapy [PDF]
The last two decades have heralded a remarkable increase in our understanding of the genetic basis of disease and the endogenous mechanisms responsible for the repair of genomic DNA and the processing of RNA. Targeted gene repair is a powerful yet controversial technique developed to direct base changes in chromosomal genes, while RNA repair is an ...

Targeted genetic testing for familial hypercholesterolaemia using next generation sequencing:a population-based study [PDF]
Background<p></p> Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is a common Mendelian condition which, untreated, results in premature coronary heart disease. An estimated 88% of FH cases are undiagnosed in the UK. We previously validated a method for

Genetics and the Individualized Therapy of Vestibular Disorders [PDF]
Background: Vestibular disorders (VDs) are a clinically divergent group of conditions that stem from pathology at the level of the inner ear, vestibulocochlear nerve, or central vestibular pathway. No etiology can be identified in the majority of patients with VDs.

Computational model for tumor response to adoptive cell transfer therapy [PDF]
One of the barriers to the development of effective adoptive cell transfer therapies (ACT), specifically for genetically engineered T-cell receptors (TCRs), and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells, is target antigen heterogeneity. It is thought that intratumor heterogeneity is one of the leading determinants of therapeutic resistance and treatment ...
