摘要:
Polymorphisms in the FLAP and LTA4H gene are shown by genetic association analysis to be susceptibility markers for myocardial infarction (MI) and ACS, as well as stroke and PAOD. Pathway targeting for treatment and diagnostic applications in identifying those who are at risk of developing MI, ACS, stroke or PAOD, in particular are described. The invention also provides methods of prophylaxis therapy for MI in human subjects having a race including black African ancestry by administering to the subject a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of MI therapeutic agent that inhibits leukotriene synthesis in vivo. The invention also provides for compositions comprising a leukotriene synthesis inhibitor and a statin and methods of using these compositions to reduce C-reactive protein in a human subject at risk of MI, ACS, stroke and/or PAOD.
摘要:
Linkage of myocardial infarction (MI) with a locus on chromosome 12q23 is disclosed. In particular, the LTA4H gene within this locus is shown by association analysis to be a susceptibility gene for MI. Methods for preventing and/or treating the recurrence of MI, in particular are described.
摘要:
Linkage of myocardial infarction (MI) and a locus on chromosome 13q12 is disclosed. In particular, the FLAP gene within this locus is shown by genetic association analysis to be a susceptibility gene for MI and ACS, as well as stroke and PAOD. Pathway targeting for treatment and diagnostic applications in identifying those who are at risk of developing MI, ACS, stroke or PAOD, in particular are described. The invention also provides for compositions comprising a leukotriene synthesis inhibitor and a stating and methods of using these compositions to reduce C-reactive protein in a human subject at risk of MI, ACS, stroke and/or PAOD.

摘要:
Methods for diagnosis of asthma or a susceptibility to asthma based on detection of at-risk haplotypes associated with MAP3K9 are disclosed. Also methods for treatment of asthma or a susceptibility to asthma based on detection of at-risk haplotypes associated with MAP3K9 are disclosed. In particular, pathway targeting for treating individuals who are at-risk of developing asmtha are described. In certain aspects, MLK1 inhibitors are used in treatment methods.
摘要:
The invention relates to improved materials and methods for therapy to inhibit production of leukotrienes, and all therapeutic applications thereof.
摘要:
The invention relates to methods for inducing a pro-asthma/pro-inflammatory like state in a resident tissue cell, comprising contacting the cell with one or more cytokines, e.g., IL-β, TNFα or both. Methods are also disclosed for identifying genes that regulate responses to anti-inflammatory drugs, to methods for drug screening, and to methods for identifying genes that correlate with various pro-asthma/pro-inflammatory disease phenotypes.
