  • A Gene Increases the Severity of Common Colds Researchers Funded by the SNSF Have Discovered Mutations That Worsen Respiratory Infections Among Children
    www.snsf.ch Wildhainweg 3, P.O. Box 8232, CH-3001 Berne Communication division +41 (0)31 308 22 22 [email protected] Berne, 17 July 2017 Press release A gene increases the severity of common colds Researchers funded by the SNSF have discovered mutations that worsen respiratory infections among children. Their study explain the mechanism involved. Colds that are not linked to influenza are generally benign. Still, 2% of each generation of children have to go to hospital following a virulent infection. "These respiratory problems are responsible for 20% of child mortality around the world", says Jacques Fellay, who has held an SNSF professorship since 2011. "It is truly a silent epidemic." An international research collaboration coordinated by Fellay has discovered the reason for some of these infections: they are caused by mutations of a gene that plays a part in recognising certain cold-inducing viruses. (*) "We have been able to confirm that a gene, called IFIH1, plays an important role in defending the body against the principal viruses responsible for respiratory infections among children", he explains. This gene normally helps in identifying the virus's RNA, a type of genetic information related to the DNA. "We have been able to isolate the mechanisms that prevent the immune systems of children with an IFIH mutation from successfully combating the viral infection." Hospitals in Switzerland and Australia The researchers collaborated with various paediatric wards in Swiss and Australian hospitals to study cases of children who needed intensive care after a severe respiratory infection (bronchiolitis or pneumonia) caused by a virus.

  • Genomic Medicine Genomic Medicine Editorial
    Swiss Re R isk Dialogue Series Risk Dialogue Series Genomic medicine Genomic medicine Editorial Recent decades have seen massive advancements in genomic medicine. This has resulted in establishing a wealth of disease associations with genetic variances in the genome. At the same time, the extensive use of genome analysis tools has resulted in a massive decrease in the cost of genome sequencing. Today, genetic testing companies are offering full genome sequencing for below USD 1000. The growing availability and utility of genetic information is becoming an increasingly important aspect of modern personalised medicine, due to the ability to deliver patient-tailored health care based on an individual’s genetic makeup. The emerging field of epigenetics, studying dynamically evolving changes in gene expression in response to environmental stresses, has added an additional layer of complexity to our understanding of the genome. As with genomic studies, current epigenetic research is rapidly evolving into potential clinical applications. The latest advances in genetic science will improve disease diagnosis and aid in guiding and applying personalised treatment and prevention plans. These advances include liquid biopsy, which identifies cancer cells or DNA in bodily fluids, requiring minimally invasive extraction; and the development of CRISPR technology, which allows precise and efficient gene editing in any organism. These new tools and techniques, combined with the growing availability of genomic information and new predictive methodologies, are entering clinical practice. They will challenge how we as insurers define disease; how we structure and price our policies; and how we sustainably provide our products and services to our customers. We wish you an enjoyable read.

  • HIV-1 and Human Genetic Variation
    REVIEWS HIV-1 and human genetic variation Paul J. McLaren 1,2 and Jacques Fellay 3,4,5 ✉ Abstract | Over the past four decades, research on the natural history of HIV infection has described how HIV wreaks havoc on human immunity and causes AIDS. HIV host genomic research, which aims to understand how human genetic variation affects our response to HIV infection, has progressed from early candidate gene studies to recent multi- omic efforts, benefiting from spectacular advances in sequencing technology and data science. In addition to invading cells and co- opting the host machinery for replication, HIV also stably integrates into our own genome. The study of the complex interactions between the human and retroviral genomes has improved our understanding of pathogenic mechanisms and suggested novel preventive and therapeutic approaches against HIV infection. HIV/AIDS HIV-1 is the human retrovirus responsible for the results in a very high plasma viral load, measured as HIV is the causative agent of HIV/AIDS pandemic, which has claimed more than copies of the HIV RNA genome per millilitre of plasma, AIDS, which is a state of severe 30 million lives over the past four decades.

  • Adaptation of Hepatitis C Virus to Interferon Lambda Polymorphism
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Adaptation of hepatitis C virus to interferon lambda polymorphism across multiple viral genotypes Nimisha Chaturvedi1,2*, Evguenia S Svarovskaia3, Hongmei Mo3, Anu O Osinusi3, Diana M Brainard3, G Mani Subramanian3, John G McHutchison3, Stefan Zeuzem4, Jacques Fellay1,2,5* 1School of Life Sciences, E´ cole Polytechnique Fe´de´rale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland; 2Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Lausanne, Switzerland; 3Gilead Sciences Inc, Foster City, United States; 4Goethe University Hospital, Frankfurt, Germany; 5Precision Medicine Unit, Lausanne University Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland Abstract Genetic polymorphism in the interferon lambda (IFN-l) 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 variation in 8729 patients (Europeans 77%, Asians 13%, Africans 8%) infected with various viral genotypes, predominantly 1a (41%), 1b (22%) and 3a (21%). We searched for associations between rs12979860 genotype and variants in the NS3, NS4A, NS5A and NS5B HCV proteins. We report multiple associations in all tested proteins, including in the interferon-sensitivity determining region of NS5A. We also assessed the combined impact of human and HCV variation on pretreatment viral load and report amino acids associated with both IFN-l polymorphism and HCV load across multiple viral genotypes. By demonstrating that IFN-l variation leaves a large footprint on the viral proteome, we provide evidence of pervasive viral adaptation to innate immune pressure during chronic HCV infection. *For correspondence: DOI: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.42542.001 [email protected] (NC); [email protected] (JF) Introduction Competing interest: See Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV), a positive strand RNA virus of the Flaviviridae family, repre- page 13 sents a major health problem, with an estimated 71 million chronically infected patients worldwide Funding: See page 13 (WHO, 2017).
