  • 1 Recently a gene, sac-4, was found in a high proportion of gonococcal isolates from patients with coexisting chlamydial infection and it was postulated that sac-4 increased the risk of development of mixed gonococcal and chlamydial infection. (bmj.com)
  • Finally, YAP1, COUP-TFII, and miR-21 are detected in the extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from EnzaR cells and sera of patients. (nih.gov)
  • However, the genes involved remain unidentified in over 50% of patients. (medscape.com)
  • Two further patients, known as the " Boston patients ", received bone marrow from normal donors, but each patient naturally had single copies of a faulty version of CCR5 , giving them partial resistance to the virus. (newscientist.com)
  • Neither of the Sydney patients had any natural resistance. (newscientist.com)
  • The increase in frequency of the mutant gene though is balanced by the fact that mutant homozygotes have decreased fitness. (discovermagazine.com)
  • This indicates aberrant AR transcriptional activity is involved in driving CRPC and conferring therapy-resistance. (ubc.ca)
