摘要:
The present invention provides a target region within a mammalian, avian, plant or other eukaryotic chromosome or an artificial or engineered chromosomal construct which is capable of carrying and expressing a heterologous gene or other genetic molecule of interest. The gene or genetic molecule of interest is expressed in a region of the chromosome which corresponds to or which immediately adjoins or is proximal to a centromeric or neocentromeric region or a functional derivative thereof or a latent, synthetic or hybrid form thereof. A method for facilitating genetic therapy or genetic modification or other applications are also provided including protein production for proteomic therapy in a mammal, avian species or plant or other higher eukaryotes.

An assay quantifies the extent of methylation in a DNA sample. Kits and clinical diagnostic assays include assays to determine clinical phenotypes based on extent of methylation of a DNA target site.
摘要:
A method of treating a waste evacuation dysfunction comprising administering transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) to at least one lower pelvic and/or sacral region for a specific treatment regimens. Also disclosed is a system for configuring a stimulation device to deliver transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) the system comprising: a computing device storing or having access to a plurality or TES settings and comprising a user interface to enable authorized selection of at least on of the TES settings for provision of TES by the stimulation device according to the at least one selected TES setting and the stimulation device communicatively coupled to the computing device to receive and store the selected at least one TES setting the stimulation device being of a size to be readily carried on a body and configured to selectively provide current to external electrode according to the one TES setting.
摘要:
The present invention is directed generally to a defined or isolated nucleic acid molecule encompassing a neocentreomere or a functional derivative thereof or a latent, synthetic or hybrid form thereof and its use inter alia in developing a range of eukaryotic mini-chromosomes and artificial chromosomes including mammalian (e.g. human) and non-mammalian mini-chromosomes and artificial chromosomes. The present invention further provides a telomere-associated chromosome truncation (TACT) approach to develop mini-chromosomes, but is not limited to this approach. It is directed to any truncation approach that produces a neocentromere-containing mini-chromosome, or any transfection approach using cloned or pre-fabricated DNA that provides neocentromere function in the construction of artificial chromosome. Such mini-chromosomes and artificial chromosomes are useful in a range of genetic therapies.
摘要:
A molecular marker of a behavioural disorder, including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and intellectual disorders and its use in the diagnosis of a behavioural disorder or an assessment of a likelihood that a subject may develop the behavioural disorder. The molecular marker may be in the form of a proteinaceous molecule or a genetic sequence.
