Abstract: A method of identifying a gene associated with a disease or pathological condition of the disease includes: a) obtaining a first group of exome sequences from a first population suffering from the disease or pathological condition and a second group of exome sequences from a second population not having the disease or pathological condition; b) identifying one or more variants in the first group by comparing it with the second group, and optionally with a public database, to generate a first set of variant data; c) applying a variant quality score calibration tool with a truth sensitivity threshold to remove false-positive variants having a sensitivity lower than the threshold and background variants from the first set of variant data so as to obtain a second set of variant data; d) removing synonymous variants from the second set of variant data to obtain a third set of variant data; and e) identifying one or more deleterious variants from the third set of variant data using a gene burden analysis, optionally generating a fourth set of variant data.

Abstract: A method for treating a subject suffering from refractory rheumatoid arthritis includes the step of administering an effective amount of a quinonemethide triterpenoid or a pharmaceutically tolerable salt, solvate or anhydrate thereof to the subject. Also is a method for inducing autophagy in a synovial fibroblast, and a method of inducing calcium mobilization in a synovial fibroblast. Further a pharmaceutical composition includes an effective dose of a quinonemethide triterpenoid and an anti-arthritis compound. The quinonemethide triterpenoid is suitable to treat refractory rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in particular ABC-protein-dependent RA and apoptosis-deficient RA. The quinonemethide triterpenoid also possesses significant inhibitory effects on the growth of synovial fibroblasts, in particular modulating the calcium homeostasis in multidrug-resistant rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts.

Abstract: Prenylated isoflavones are suitable to specifically inhibit P-glycoprotein in multidrug-resistant cancer cells leading to an accumulation of cytotoxic compounds or therapeutic compounds in the cells while having exceptionally increased cytotoxic activity specifically towards multidrug-resistant cancer cells and while allowing for an increased activity of chemotherapeutic compounds towards which the cells are resistant.Also in accordance with the present invention is a method for specifically targeting cancer cells with multidrug-resistance as well as a method of potentiating the activity of a chemotherapeutic compound in multidrug-resistant cancer cells. In a further aspect, a kit including a prenylated isoflavone and a chemotherapeutic compound is provided.

Abstract: A compound for treating a disease, in particular cancer like non-small cell lung cancer, exceptionally inhibits activity of oncogenic ALK kinase. Compositions, particularly pharmaceutical compositions, are provided comprising this compound. Methods for targeting cancer cells harboring an abnormality in the ALK gene are also The compound for treating a disease has certain structural elements, namely a tricyclic, more specifically heterocyclic, backbone as the core part of the compound at least one highly electronegative atom in form of a tertiary amine attached to the backbone via an at most 6-membered linking group with a terminal highly electronegative atom in form of a nitrogen as secondary amine, and a further hydrophobic moiety fused to the backbone. The structural components allow for an advantageous interaction with the ALK kinase domain. The compound therefor represents a highly promising treatment option for patients in particular those bearing ALK-dependent non-small cell lung cancer.
