Candidate gene molecular markers as tools for analyzing genetic susceptibility to Morbillivirus infection in stranded Cetaceans
Abstract Morbilliviruses, such as Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) or Phocine distemper virus (PDV), represent a growing threat for marine mammals on both hemispheres. Since free‐ranging animal populations strongly rely on natural resistance mechanisms, innate immunity related genes and virus cell entry receptor genes may represent key factors involved in susceptibility to CeMV in Cetaceans. Using the next generation sequencing technology, we have sequenced eleven candidate genes in two model species, Stenella coeruleoalba and Phocoena phocoena. Suitable single nucleotide polymorphism markers of potential functional importa...

A novel multiplex PCR assay for detection of both HLA ‐A*31:01/HLA‐B*15:02 alleles, which confer susceptibility to carbamazepine‐induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions
Abstract HLA‐A*31:01 and HLA‐B*15:02 have been widely reported to confer genetic susceptibility to carbamazepine–induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions. Accordingly, the screening for these alleles has been highly recommended to prevent SCAR prior to introducing CBZ therapy. Although a number of methods are available for screening of HLA‐A*31:01 or HLA‐B*15:02 alleles separately, developing an assay that can detect both these alleles would be more clinically practical, cost‐effective and less time‐consuming. Therefore, in this study, a multiplex PCR using Taq°Man Probe was designed and validated to be ab...
