Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium Testing and Interpretation: Focus on infection
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) holds when, in a closed population with random mating and without mutation and natural selection, genotype frequencies at any locus is a simple function of allele frequencies. Testing for HWE is now a common practice in population genetics and genetic association studies of non-communicable diseases; however, it is less-regarded, or sometimes miss-interpreted, i...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology: focus on infection.
Molecular biology techniques have become increasingly integrated into the practice of infectious disease epidemiology. The term "molecular epidemiology" routinely appears in the titles of articles that use molecular strain-typing ("fingerprinting") techniques-regardless of whether there is any epidemiologic application.

متن کاملUpdate on Hepatitis B Virus Infection: Focus on Treatment
This review article is an update of the current treatment strategies available for chronic hepatitis B. In addition to achieving on-therapy clinical remission and suppression of HBV replication without resistance, the ultimate goal of therapy is the development of sustained remission and HBsAg loss after discontinuation of treatment. This is the closest possible to cure outcome for hepatitis B ...
متن کاملMajor Histocompatibility Complex and Malaria: Focus on Plasmodium vivax Infection
The importance of host and parasite genetic factors in malaria resistance or susceptibility has been investigated since the middle of the last century. Nowadays, of all diseases that affect man, malaria still plays one of the highest levels of selective pressure on human genome. Susceptibility to malaria depends on exposure profile, epidemiological characteristics, and several components of the...
