Genetic analyses reveal a role for vitamin D insufficiency in HCV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Vitamin D insufficiency has been associated with the occurrence of various types of cancer, but causal relationships remain elusive. We therefore aimed to determine the relationship between genetic determinants of vitamin D serum levels and ...

Genetic therapy for the nervous system [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2011
Genetic therapy is undergoing a renaissance with expansion of viral and synthetic vectors, use of oligonucleotides (RNA and DNA) and sequence-targeted regulatory molecules, as well as genetically modified cells, including induced pluripotent stem cells from the patients themselves. Several clinical trials for neurologic syndromes appear quite promising.

Cellular and genetic therapies for haemophilia [PDF]

open access: yesHaemophilia, 2006
Summary.  Haemophilia continues to be a prime target for a variety of gene and cell‐based therapies. Pre‐clinical successes in both mouse and dog models of the disease have been documented with a variety of approaches over the past decade, and there have now been six small clinical trials of gene transfer in haemophilia.

Genetic therapies against HIV [PDF]

open access: yesNature Biotechnology, 2007
Highly active antiretroviral therapy prolongs the life of HIV-infected individuals, but it requires lifelong treatment and results in cumulative toxicities and viral-escape mutants. Gene therapy offers the promise of preventing progressive HIV infection by sustained interference with viral replication in the absence of chronic chemotherapy.

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 ...

A survey of genetic improvement search spaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Genetic Improvement (GI) uses automated search to improve existing software. Most GI work has focused on empirical studies that successfully apply GI to improve software's running time, fix bugs, add new features, etc. There has been little research into

Liver-directed SERPINA1 gene therapy attenuates progression of spontaneous and tobacco smoke-induced emphysema in α1-antitrypsin null mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
α1-antitrypsin deficiency is a rare genetic condition that can cause liver and/or lung disease. There is currently no cure for this disorder, although repeated infusions of plasma-purified protein may slow down emphysema progression.

Pharmacogenetics of migraine : genetic variants and their potential role in migraine therapy

open access: yes, 2007
Migraine is a paroxysmal neurological disorder affecting up to 6% of males and 18% of females in the general population, and has been demonstrated to have a strong, but complex, genetic component.
