Inborn errors of type I interferon immunity in patients with symptomatic acute hepatitis E

Jacques Fellay, Ali Saadat Varnosfaderanii

Background and Aims:The clinical spectrum of human infection by HEV ranges from asymptomatic to severe acute hepatitis. Furthermore, HEV can cause diverse neurological manifestations, especially Parsonage-Turner syndrome. Here, we used a large-scale human ...

Host-Pathogen Interactions Through the Genomic Lens

Zhi Ming Xu

Hosts and pathogens are involved in a long-standing evolutionary arms race characterized by successive rounds of evolution. Specifically, while hosts evolve resistance against infections, pathogens adapt to re-establish virulence. Since the signatures of t ...

Population density and water balance influence the global occurrence of hepatitis E epidemics

Stéphane Joost, Anna Carratala Ripolles

In developing countries, the waterborne transmission of hepatitis E virus (HEV), caused by HEV genotypes 1 (HEV-1) and 2 (HEV-2), leads to the onset of large recurrent outbreaks. HEV infections are of particular concern among pregnant women, due to very hi ...

Human genomics of acute liver failure due to hepatitis B virus infection: An exome sequencing study in liver transplant recipients

Jacques Fellay, Christian Hammer, Nimisha Chaturvedi, Petar Scepanovic, Samira Asgari

Acute liver failure (ALF) or fulminant hepatitis is a rare, yet severe outcome of infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) that carries a high mortality rate. The occurrence of a life-threatening condition upon infection with a prevalent virus in individuals ...

Adaptation of hepatitis C virus to interferon lambda polymorphism across multiple viral genotypes

Jacques Fellay, Nimisha Chaturvedi

Genetic polymorphism in the interferon lambda (IFN-lambda) region is associated with spontaneous clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and response to interferon-based treatment. Here, we evaluate associations between IFN-l polymorphism and HCV va ...

Palmitoylation mediates membrane association of hepatitis E virus ORF3 protein and is required for infectious particle secretion

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a positive-strand RNA virus encoding 3 open reading frames (ORF). HEV ORF3 protein is a small, hitherto poorly characterized protein involved in viral particle secretion and possibly other functions. Here, we show that HEV ORF3 p ...

APOBEC3-independent interferon-induced viral clearance in hepatitis B virus transgenic mice

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Sonia Verp, Bastien Mangeat, Stéphanie Jost

Interferon (IFN) has been part of the standard treatment of chronic hepatitis B infection for more than 2 decades, yet the mechanism of action of this antiviral remains poorly understood. It was recently observed that members of the human APOBEC family of ...

Polynucleotide cytidine deaminases, innate immunity and hepatitis B infection

Stéphanie Jost

More than 350 millions individuals worldwide suffer from chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, a condition that evolves towards liver insufficiency and hepatocellular carcinoma in approximately 15 to 40 percent of cases. Yet the majority of de novo HB ...
