Genotype-stratified treatment for monogenic insulin resistance: a systematic review. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Monogenic insulin resistance (IR) includes lipodystrophy and disorders of insulin signalling. We sought to assess the effects of interventions in monogenic IR, stratified by genetic aetiology.

Scrapie prevalence in sheep of susceptible genotype is declining in a population subject to breeding for resistance [PDF]
Background Susceptibility of sheep to scrapie infection is known to be modulated by the PrP genotype of the animal. In the Netherlands an ambitious scrapie control programme was started in 1998, based on genetic selection of animals for breeding.

Performance of genotype imputation for rare variants identified in exons and flanking regions of genes. [PDF]
Genotype imputation has the potential to assess human genetic variation at a lower cost than assaying the variants using laboratory techniques. The performance of imputation for rare variants has not been comprehensively studied.

Evaluation of Electronic Microarrays for Genotyping Factor V, Factor II, and MTHFR [PDF]
Abstract Background: Genetic risk factors associated with venous thrombosis include mutations in the factor V (Leiden), factor II (prothrombin), and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genes. We evaluated a method using electronically addressable microarrays for the detection of mutations in these genes that have been associated ...

Rescue of a genotype 4 human hepatitis E virus from cloned cDNA and characterization of intergenotypic chimeric viruses in cultured human liver cells and in pigs [PDF]
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important but extremely understudied human pathogen. Genotypes 1 and 2 are restricted to humans, whereas genotypes 3 and 4 are zoonotic, infecting both humans and pigs.
