Host genetics of HCV disease — IL28B
Co-infections with HCV and HIV are common, because both viruses share routes of transmission and establish chronic infections. The standard treatment for chronic hepatitis C, a combination of peginterferon-a and ribavirin, is poorly tolerated and only successful in about half of the treated patients. Thus, identification of accurate predictors of treatment response is highly desirable. Several ...
متن کاملAdvances in Genetics
All animals use a sophisticated array of receptor proteins to sense their external and internal environments. Major advances have been made in recent years in understanding the molecular and genetic bases for sensory transduction in diverse modalities, indicating that both metabotropic and ionotropic pathways are important in sensory functions. Here, I review the historical background and recen...
متن کاملAdvances in osteoarthritis genetics
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, is a highly debilitating disease of the joints and can lead to severe pain and disability. There is no cure for OA. Current treatments often fail to alleviate its symptoms leading to an increased demand for joint replacement surgery. Previous epidemiological and genetic research has established that OA is a multifactorial disease with both...
متن کاملAdvances in Quantitative Genetics
Some issues in quantitative genetics theory, other than molecular genetic analysis and utilisation, are reviewed. These include the development of models and methods for the analysis of longitudinal data, i.e. records continued or repeated over time, such as daily milk yield within and across lactation. The problems of identifying a range of alternative models and testing their fit are discusse...
متن کاملDystonia--new advances in classification, genetics, pathophysiology and treatment.
Dystonia is a heterogeneous movement disorder and has been defined as 'a syndrome of sustained muscle contractions, frequently causing twisted and repetitive movements, or abnormal postures'. The classification of dystonia has developed along with increasing knowledge, and different schemes have been suggested, including age at onset, body distribution, and etiology as the main differentiating ...
