Atlantic Salmon Alevins Experimentally Exposed to Salmon Gill Poxvirus Become Infected, With the Virus Targeting Epithelial Cells in the Gills, Oral Cavity and Skin

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Infection with salmon gill poxvirus (SGPV) can cause severe gill pathology, leading to respiratory distress and high mortality rates in salmon hatcheries, known as salmon gill poxvirus disease. While the infection has been documented in salmon at sea, broodfish and wild salmon, its occurrence in salmon alevins remains unreported.

Length of Variable Numbers of Tandem Repeats in the Carboxyl Ester Lipase (CEL) Gene May Confer Susceptibility to Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis but Not Alcoholic Chronic Pancreatitis.

PLoS ONE, 2016
BackgroundCarboxyl-ester lipase (CEL) contributes to fatty acid ethyl ester metabolism, which is implicated in alcoholic pancreatitis. The CEL gene harbours a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) region in exon 11.

LINE-1 ORF1p does not determine substrate preference for human/orangutan SVA and gibbon LAVA

Mobile DNA, 2020
Background Non-autonomous VNTR (Variable Number of Tandem Repeats) composite retrotransposons – SVA (SINE-R-VNTR-Alu) and LAVA (L1-Alu-VNTR-Alu) – are specific to hominoid primates. SVA expanded in great apes, LAVA in gibbon.

Germline pathogenic variants in HIC1 DNA binding domains are associated with familial serrated polyposis syndrome

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 157, Issue 6, Page 1154-1167, 15 September 2025.
What's new? Serrated polyposis syndrome has been associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. HIC1 is a tumor suppressor gene commonly silenced in serrated polyps and several cancers. This study suggests HIC1 as a novel germline predisposition factor to serrated polyposis syndrome, with variants altering gene transcriptional regulation and ...

Erectile Dysfunction in Diabetes Mellitus: A Comprehensive Narrative Review of Pathophysiology, Genetic Association Studies and Therapeutic Approaches

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 8, Issue 5, September 2025.
Interplay between erectile dysfunction, diabetes mellitus and genetics. ABSTRACT Introduction Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a highly prevalent complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), significantly impairing quality of life and psychosocial well‐being. The prevalence of ED is estimated to be over 3.5 times higher in men with diabetes mellitus compared to

Molecular typing of Mycobacterium Abscessus isolated from cystic fibrosis patients

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2017
Background: The possibility of inter-human transmission of Mycobacterium abscessus in cystic fibrosis centres has been recently hypothesized suggesting the need for the molecular characterization of strains isolated from such patients.

A quantitative and efficient approach to select MIRU–VNTR loci based on accumulation of the percentage differences of strains for discriminating divergent Mycobacterium tuberculosis sublineages

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2017
Although several optimal mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units–variable number tandem repeat (MIRU–VNTR) loci have been suggested for genotyping homogenous Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including the Beijing genotype, a more efficient and convenient ...
