Dialysis affects immune function

Transcriptome profiles of patients undergoing haemodialysis show a different immune pattern compared to patients with chronic kidney disease without dialysis, although it cannot yet be ruled out that other confounding factors are responsible.

Expression of key genes linked to HIV resistant CD4+

Important regulatory genes associated with cell cycle functions and the actin cytoskeleton are potentially implicated with HIV-1 resistance in CD4+ T cells, elucidated using a co-expression network analysis.

Scope

BMC Medical Genomics is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of functional genomics, genome structure, genome-scale population genetics, epigenomics, proteomics, systems analysis, and pharmacogenomics in relation to human health and disease.

It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.

Editor's profile

Following posts in the UK, Australia, Iceland and Germany, Struan Grant has been the Associate Director of the Center for Applied Genomics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia since 2006. His current work focuses on metabolic disease, with a specific focus on pediatrics. Utilizing high-throughput genotyping technology, his goals include isolating genes involved in obesity and bone strength. Both of these phenotypes are known to be strongly determined by genetic factors and distillation of this component should be easier to determine in children, where the relatively short period of their lifetime limits the impact of environmental exposure.
