HIV peptidome-wide association study reveals patient-specific epitope repertoires associated with HIV control

Jacques Fellay, Nimisha Chaturvedi, Paul Jack Mc Laren

Genetic variation in the peptide-binding groove of the highly polymorphic HLA class I molecules has repeatedly been associated with HIV-1 control and progression to AIDS, accounting for up to 12% of the variation in HIV-1 set point viral load (spVL). This ...

Severe viral respiratory infections in children with IFIH1 loss-of-function mutations

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha, Christian Hammer, Samira Asgari, Thomas Junier, Paul Jack Mc Laren

Viral respiratory infections are usually mild and self-limiting; still they exceptionally result in life-threatening infections in previously healthy children. To investigate a potential genetic cause, we recruited 120 previously healthy children requiring ...

No Evidence for Association of beta-Defensin Genomic Copy Number with HIV Susceptibility, HIV Load during Clinical Latency, or Progression to AIDS

Jacques Fellay, Paul Jack Mc Laren

Common single-nucleotide variation in the host accounts for 25% of the variability in the plasma levels of HIV during the clinical latency stage (viral load set point). However, the role of rare variants and copy number variants remains relatively unexplor ...

Estimating the Respective Contributions of Human and Viral Genetic Variation to HIV Control

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha, Paul Jack Mc Laren

We evaluated the fraction of variation in HIV-1 set point viral load attributable to viral or human genetic factors by using joint host/pathogen genetic data from 541 HIV infected individuals. We show that viral genetic diversity explains 29% of the variat ...

Evaluating the Impact of Functional Genetic Variation on HIV-1 Control

Jacques Fellay, Istvan Bartha, Paul Jack Mc Laren

Previous genetic association studies of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) progression have focused on common human genetic variation ascertained through genome-wide genotyping. ...

Method for privacy-preserving medical risk test

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Amalio Telenti, Erman Ayday, Paul Jack Mc Laren, Jean Louis Raisaro

A privacy-preserving method for performing a disease susceptibility test on a patient, said method comprising: (I) performing homomorphic computations, (J) obtaining a test result which is partly decrypted with a first part (prk1 resp. prk2) of a private k ...

Exome Sequencing Reveals Primary Immunodeficiencies in Children with Community-Acquired Pseudomonas aeruginosa Sepsis

Jacques Fellay, Istvan Bartha, Samira Asgari, Christoph Berger, Paul Jack Mc Laren, Richard Wong

One out of three pediatric sepsis deaths in high income countries occur in previously healthy children. Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) have been postulated to underlie fulminant sepsis, but this concept remains to be confirmed in clinical practice. Pseu ...

Privacy-preserving genomic testing in the clinic: a model using HIV treatment

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jacques Fellay, Paul Jack Mc Laren, Amalio Telenti, Erman Ayday, Jean Louis Raisaro, Istvan Bartha

The implementation of genomic-based medicine is hindered by unresolved questions regarding data privacy and delivery of interpreted results to health-care practitioners. We used DNA-based prediction of HIV-related outcomes as a model to explore critical is ...

Identification of Siglec-1 null individuals infected with HIV-1

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Paul Jack Mc Laren

Siglec-1/CD169 is a myeloid-cell surface receptor critical for HIV-1 capture and infection of bystander target cells. To dissect the role of SIGLEC1 in natura, we scan a large population genetic database and identify a loss-of-function variant (Glu88Ter) t ...
