Genetic variation in TERT modifies the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in alcohol-related cirrhosis: Results from a genome-wide case-control study. Gut, https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2022-327196

Objective: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often develops in patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis at an annual risk of up to 2.5%. Some host genetic risk factors have been identified but do not account for the majority of the variance in occurrence...

The rs429358 Locus in Apolipoprotein E Is Associated With Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients With Cirrhosis (2021)
Journal Article
Innes, H., Nischalke, H. D., Guha, I. N., Weiss, K. H., Irving, W., Gotthardt, D., …Buch, S. (2022). The rs429358 Locus in Apolipoprotein E Is Associated With Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients With Cirrhosis. Hepatology Communications, 6(5), 1213-1226. https://doi.org/10.1002/hep4.1886

The host genetic background for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is incompletely understood. We aimed to determine if four germline genetic polymorphisms, rs429358 in apolipoprotein E (APOE), rs2642438 in mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component 1 (M...

Prevalence of a history of prior varicella/herpes zoster infection in multiple sclerosis (2017)
Journal Article
Manouchehrinia, A., Tanasescu, R., Kareem, H., Jerca, O. P., Jabeen, F., Shafei, R., …Constantinescu, C. S. (in press). Prevalence of a history of prior varicella/herpes zoster infection in multiple sclerosis. Journal of NeuroVirology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s13365-017-0569-1

Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection has been implicated in multiple sclerosis (MS), but direct causal involvement has been disputed. Nevertheless, knowledge of VZV exposure is important, given the risk of serious complications of first exposure wh...
