摘要:
Methods for diagnosis of asthma or a susceptibility to asthma based on detection of at-risk haplotypes associated with MAP3K9 are disclosed. Also methods for treatment of asthma or a susceptibility to asthma based on detection of at-risk haplotypes associated with MAP3K9 are disclosed. In particular, pathway targeting for treating individuals who are at-risk of developing asmtha are described. In certain aspects, MLK1 inhibitors are used in treatment methods.
摘要:
The invention relates to improved materials and methods for therapy to inhibit production of leukotrienes, and all therapeutic applications thereof.
摘要:
Linkage of myocardial infarction (MI) and a locus on chromosome 13q12 is disclosed. In particular, the FLAP gene within this locus is shown by genetic association analysis to be a susceptibility gene for MI and ACS, as well as stroke and PAOD. Pathway targeting for treatment and diagnostic applications in identifying those who are at risk of developing MI, ACS, stroke or PAOD, in particular are described.
摘要:
Linkage of myocardial infarction (MI) with a locus on chromosome 12q23 is disclosed. In particular, the LTA4H gene within this locus is shown by association analysis to be a susceptibility gene for MI. Methods for preventing and/or treating the recurrence of MI, in particular are described.
摘要:
Polymorphisms in the FLAP and LTA4H gene are shown by genetic association analysis to be susceptibility markers for myocardial infarction (MI) and ACS, as well as stroke and PAOD. Pathway targeting for treatment and diagnostic applications in identifying those who are at risk of developing MI, ACS, stroke or PAOD, in particular are described. The invention also provides methods of prophylaxis therapy for MI in human subjects having a race including black African ancestry by administering to the subject a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of MI therapeutic agent that inhibits leukotriene synthesis in vivo. The invention also provides for compositions comprising a leukotriene synthesis inhibitor and a statin and methods of using these compositions to reduce C-reactive protein in a human subject at risk of MI, ACS, stroke and/or PAOD.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a chemical genus of biaryl substituted heterocycle inhibitors of LTA4H (leukotriene A4 hydrolase) useful for the treatment and prevention and prophylaxis of inflammatory diseases and disorders. The compounds have general formula Ψ: An example is
摘要:
The present invention provides the enzyme and enzymatic procedures for cleaving the β secretase cleavage site of the APP protein and associated nucleic acids, peptides, vectors, cells and cell isolates and assays. An enzyme that cleaves the α-secretase site of APP also is provided. The invention further provides a modified APP protein and associated nucleic acids, peptides, vectors, cells, and cell isolates, and assays that are particularly useful for identifying candidate therapeutics for treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
