Determining targets for antiretroviral drug concentrations: a causal framework illustrated with pediatric efavirenz data from the CHAPAS-3 trial by Schomaker, M, Denti, P, Bienczak, A, Burger, D, Díaz, I, Gibb, DM, Walker, AS, McIlleron, H

“…<p><strong>Background:&nbsp;</strong>Determining a therapeutic window for maintaining antiretroviral drug concentrations within an appropriate range is required for identifying effective dosing regimens. The limits of this window are typically calculated using predictive models. …”

Estimating evolutionary and demographic parameters via ARG-derived IBD by Huang, Z, Kelleher, J, Chan, Y, Balding, D

“…Inference of evolutionary and demographic parameters from a sample of genome sequences often proceeds by first inferring identical-by-descent (IBD) genome segments. By exploiting efficient data encoding based on the ancestral recombination graph (ARG), we obtain three major advantages over current approaches: (i) no need to impose a length threshold on IBD segments, (ii) IBD can be defined without the hard-to-verify requirement of no recombination, and (iii) computation time can be reduced with little loss of statistical efficiency using only the IBD segments from a set of sequence pairs that scales linearly with sample size. …”

Using Sequenom to identify KRAS mutations in an Asian cohort of ovarian mucinous cancer by Tiong, Wen Ning

“…While there are distinct differences between mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer (mEOC) and the other subtypes of EOC, a standard treatment regimen is followed for all EOC histotypes. KRAS mutations have been observed to occur in relatively high frequencies of 50-60% in mEOC but not in other subtypes of EOC in at least three clinical studies. …”

“…Abstract Background Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for many diverse blood and immune diseases. However, HSCT regimens currently commonly utilize genotoxic chemotherapy and/or total body irradiation (TBI) conditioning which causes significant morbidity and mortality through inducing broad tissue damage triggering infections, graft vs. host disease, infertility, and secondary cancers. …”
