摘要:
With the advent of low cost, high-throughput whole genome sequencing (“next generation sequencing”), tools are available to assay human genetic variation contributing to inherited disease syndromes. A method is disclosed for prioritization of genetic variants, and identification of disease genes, using network modeling of gene associations.
摘要:
The present invention identifies genes whose gene products are differentially expressed during restenosis, including de novo restenosis and in stent restenosis (ISR). Also provided are therapeutic methods for treating a patient or methods for prophylactically treating an individual susceptible to restenosis. Additionally, the invention describes screening methods for identifying agents that can be administered to treat individuals that have or at risk of developing restenosis.

摘要:
The invention provides a method of treating or preventing heart failure or a disease or condition associated with heart failure comprising administering an effective dose of an apelin peptide or APJ receptor ligand to the subject. According to certain embodiments of the invention the apelin peptide is administered chronically. In certain embodiments of the invention the apelin peptide is administered in an amount effective to improve at least one hemodynamic parameter or prognostic variable for heart failure. Clinical conditions associated with heart failure include, but are not limited to, atherosclerosis, restenosis, ischemic cardiovascular diseases, idiopathic or viral cardiomyopathy, and the like.
摘要:
In an embodiment of the present invention, three novel human reference genome sequences were developed based on the most common population-specific DNA sequence (“major allele”). Methods were developed for their integration into interpretation pipelines for highthroughput whole genome sequencing.
摘要:
An embodiment of the present invention is a methodology for prioritizing variants relevant to inherited Mendelian (“single gene”) disease syndromes according to disease phenotype, gene, and variant level information.
摘要:
An embodiment of the present invention is a method for resolving long-range haplotype phase based on family pedigree data, inheritance state determination, and population linkage disequilibrium data. A method according to an embodiment of the present invention provides for the evaluation of genome wide risk using phased haplotype data.
