Including copy number variation in association studies to predict genotypic values [PDF]
The objective of this study was to investigate, both empirically and deterministically, the ability to explain genetic variation resulting from a copy number polymorphism (CNP) by including the CNP, either by its genotype or by a continuous derivation ...

Genetic heterogeneity of hepatitis E virus in Darfur, Sudan, and neighboring Chad. [PDF]
The within-outbreak diversity of hepatitis E virus (HEV) was studied during the outbreak of hepatitis E that occurred in Sudan in 2004. Specimens were collected from internally displaced persons living in a Sudanese refugee camp and two camps implanted ...

Performance of assays for testing antibodies against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in sera collected from swine farms in a region with an extreme virus heterogeneity [PDF]
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome is the most economically important viral disease in the swine industry worldwide. Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) strains are classified into two distinct genotypes, the European ...

Alpha‐1‐antitrypsin genotyping with mouthwash specimens [PDF]
α1‐antitrypsin (α1‐AT) deficiency is diagnosed as a two-stage procedure (concentration and phenotype). However the latter does not provide clues to the presence of null genes without family studies and obtaining blood from patients at a distance often proves difficult.

Colitis Following Initiation of Sofosbuvir and Simeprevir for Genotype 1 Hepatitis C. [PDF]
Sofosbuvir and simeprevir are used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (HCV) genotype 1. Both drugs have been well-tolerated, with diarrhea noted in 6% cases with sofosbuvir, 16% with sofosbuvir plus simeprevir, and 0% with simeprevir.

Antiviral therapy in chronic hepatitis C (G1) in Russia: cost and effectiveness
Genotype 1 HCV treatment in Russia assume as bitherapy (pegylated interferon – PG plus ribavirin – RBV) as three therapy based on HCV protease inhibitor such as telaprevir (TLV), boceprevir (BCV) or simeprevir (SMV) plus PG/RBV.

Baseline anti-NS4a antibodies in combination with on-treatment quantitative HCV-RNA reliably identifies nonresponders to pegylated interferon-ribavirin combination therapy after 4 weeks of treatment [PDF]
Background Early detection of nonresponders to hepatitis C therapy limits unnecessary exposure to treatment and its side-effects. A recent algorithm combining baseline anti-NS4a antibodies and on-treatment quantitative PCR identified nonresponders to a ...

Accuracy of the TRUGENEHIV-1Genotyping Kit [PDF]
ABSTRACTDrug resistance and poor virological responses are associated with well-characterized mutations in the viral reading frames that encode the proteins that are targeted by currently available antiretroviral drugs. An integrated system was developed that includes target gene amplification, DNA sequencing chemistry (TRUGENEHIV-1Genotyping Kit), and
