Objective. There is limited data on abdominal obesity and the influence of genetics on weight change after ant iretroviral therapy (ART) initiation. We assessed body mass index (BMI) and waist hip ration (WHR) change over time in the Swiss HIV Cohort study ...

Human tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains a global public health threat. Granulomas constitute a hallmark of TB pathogenesis that can clear, contain, or exacerbate an infection. Containment is exploited by Mtb as a hideout ...

Loss-of-function variants in innate immunity genes are associated with Mendelian disorders in the form of primary immunodeficiencies. Recent resequencing projects report that stop-gains and frameshifts are collectively prevalent in humans and could be resp ...

Objective Primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is the second most frequent systemic autoimmune disease, affecting 0.1% of the general population. To characterize the molecular and clinical variabilities among patients with primary SS, we integrated transcriptom ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Rapid expansion of genomic technologies has resulted in an unprecedented ability to interrogate the impact of human genetic variation on disease. HIV-1 infection is a unique model for studying this impact because host genetic variation i ...

A total of 107 Swiss HIV Cohort Study participants contributed longitudinal samples. During untreated chronic HIV infection (median observation time, 7.7 years) but not during suppressive antiretroviral therapy (median observation time, 9.8 years), we reco ...

Background Estimating the time since HIV infection (TSI) at population level is essential for tracking changes in the global HIV epidemic. Most methods for determining TSI give a binary classification of infections as recent or non-recent within a window o ...

People with HIV may report neurocognitive complaints, with or without associated neurocognitive impairment, varying between individuals and populations. While the HIV genome could play a major role, large systematic viral genome-wide screens to date are la ...

Background. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is associated with acute respiratory infection. We sought to identify RSV variants associated with prolonged infection. ...

The risk and prognosis of tuberculosis (TB) are influenced by a complex interplay between human and bacterial genetic factors. While previous genomic studies have largely examined human and bacterial genomes separately, we adopted an integrated approach to ...

Computational analyses of human patient exomes aim to filter out as many nonpathogenic genetic variants (NPVs) as possible, without removing the true disease-causing mutations. This involves comparing the patient's exome with public databases to remove rep ...

Tuberculosis is an ancient human disease, estimated to have originated and evolved over thousands of years alongside modern human populations. Despite considerable advances in disease control, tuberculosis remains one of the world's deadliest communicable ...

T cell activation markers (TAM) expressed by antigen-specific T cells constitute promising candidates to attest the presence of an active infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Reciprocally, their modulation may be used to assess antibiotic treatme ...

The well-characterised association between HLA-B27:05 and protection against HIV disease progression has been linked to immunodominant HLA-B27:05-restricted CD8+ T-cell responses towards the conserved Gag 263-272 ('KK10') and Pol 901-909 'KY9' epitopes. ...

A strong genetic predictor of outcome following untreated HIV-1 infection is the carriage of specific alleles of human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) that present viral epitopes to T cells. Residual variation in outcome measures may be attributed, in part, to v ...

Individuals differ widely in their immune responses, with age, sex and genetic factors having major roles in this inherent variability1–6. However, the variables that drive such differences in cytokine secretion—a crucial component of the host response to ...

Background. The role of primary immunodeficiencies (PID) in susceptibility to sepsis remains unknown. It is unclear whether children with sepsis benefit from genetic investigations. We hypothesized that sepsis may represent the first manifestation of under ...

Background.Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is among the most frequent comorbidities in people with HIV (PWH) and occurs more often in PWH than in people without HIV. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) can be used to summarize the genetic risk for T2D, but it is unknown to ...

The mutational spectrum of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) does not resemble any of the known mutational signatures of the nuclear genome and variation in mtDNA mutational spectra between different organisms is still incomprehensible. Since mitochondria are ...

The huge genetic diversity of circulating viruses is a challenge for diagnostic assays for emerging or rare viral diseases. High-throughput technology offers a new opportunity to explore the global virome of patients without preconception about the culpabl ...
