Genetic risk and a primary role for cell-mediated immune mechanisms in multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: In this article, a collaborative GWAS involving 9,772 cases of European descent collected by 23 research groups working in 15 different countries, they have replicated almost all of the previously suggested associations and identified at least a further 29 novel susceptibility loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

Several alleles of the multidrug-resistance gene are closely linked to chloroquine resistance in Plasmodium falciparum.

TL;DR: It is concluded that a mutated pfmdr1 gene is one of at least two mutated genes required for CQR, and the CQS/CQR status of a further 34 out of 36 isolates is correctly predicted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amplification of the multidrug resistance gene in some chloroquine-resistant isolates of P. falciparum.

TL;DR: The existence of an mdr gene in P. falciparum and its amplification in some chloroquine-resistant lines greatly adds to the circumstantial evidence that pfmdr mediateschloroquine resistance in these lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amino acid changes linked to pyrimethamine resistance in the dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase gene of Plasmodium falciparum.

TL;DR: The isolation and the sequence of the gene for the bifunctional enzyme dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS) from two pyrimethamine-resistant clones of Plasmodium falciparum, HB3 and 7G8 is described and it is highly likely that this difference is involved in the mechanism of drug resistance in HB3.
