2. 1. Significance of HIV-1 genetic subtypes

   Author : Annette Alaeus; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : HIV-1; genetic subtypes; molecular epidemiology; disease progression; CD4 cell decline; plasma RNA levels; chemokine coreceptor usage;

   Abstract : The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) displays high genetic variability. Phylogenetic studies have shown that a majority of HIV-1 sequences cluster into one large group called M (major), whereas a few are clearly distinct, group O (outlier) and group N (non-M-non-O).

   Abstract : Stroke is the third most common cause of death and the most common cause of disability in adults in developed countries. It is a complex disease in which genetic and environmental factors make about equal contributions. READ MORE

   Abstract : There are two major types of diabetes mellitus, Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), however a number of subtypes have been defined and classified. Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness (MIDD) and Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) are monogenic forms, whereas Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) is thought to be a polygenic subtype similar to T1D.

   Abstract : BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been reproducibly clustered into five subtypes based on six-clinical variables; age at diabetes onset, body mass index (BMI), Glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies (GADA), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and insulin secretion and resistance estimated as HOMA2B and HOMA2IR derived from fasting glucose and Cpeptide. These subtypes have different disease progression and risk of complications. READ MORE
