Comparison of Three Viral Nucleic Acid Preamplification Pipelines for Sewage Viral Metagenomics
Tamar Kohn, Xavier Fernandez Cassi
Viral metagenomics is a useful tool for detecting multiple human viruses in urban sewage. However, more refined protocols are required for its effective use in disease surveillance. In this study, we investigated the performance of three different preampli ...
2024A Biallelic Truncating Variant in the TPR Domain of GEMIN5 Associated with Intellectual Disability and Cerebral Atrophy
GEMIN5 is a multifunctional RNA-binding protein required for the assembly of survival motor neurons. Several bi-allelic truncating and missense variants in this gene are reported to cause a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by cerebellar atrophy, i ...
2023Using population-specific add-on polymorphisms to improve genotype imputation in underrepresented populations
Jacques Fellay, Zhi Ming Xu, Sina Rüeger
Genome-wide association studies rely on the statistical inference of untyped variants, called imputation, to increase the coverage of genotyping arrays. However, the results are often suboptimal in populations underrepresented in existing reference panels ...
San Francisco2022HIV-1 and human genetic variation
Over the past four decades, research on the natural history of HIV infection has described how HIV wreaks havoc on human immunity and causes AIDS. HIV host genomic research, which aims to understand how human genetic variation affects our response to HIV i ...
NATURE RESEARCH2021The influence of human genetic variation on Epstein–Barr virus sequence diversity
Jacques Fellay, Dylan Lawless, Olivier Noël Marie Naret, Christian Hammer, Sina Rüeger
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is one of the most common viruses latently infecting humans. Little is known about the impact of human genetic variation on the large inter-individual differences observed in response to EBV infection. To search for a potential imp ...
2021A high-resolution HLA reference panel capturing global population diversity enables multi-ancestry fine-mapping in HIV host response
Jacques Fellay, John Wilson, Yang Luo, Xinyi Li
A high-resolution reference panel based on whole-genome sequencing data enables accurate imputation of HLA alleles across diverse populations and fine-mapping of HLA association signals for HIV-1 host response. Fine-mapping to plausible causal variation ma ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2021Genetic variation near CXCL12 is associated with susceptibility to HIV-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Christian Hammer
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Even in the era of suppressive antiretroviral treatment, HIV-infected individuals remain at higher risk of developing NHL compared to the gener ...
FERRATA STORTI FOUNDATION2021Heritability of the HIV-1 reservoir size and decay under long-term suppressive ART
The HIV-1 reservoir is the major hurdle to curing HIV-1. However, the impact of the viral genome on the HIV-1 reservoir, i.e. its heritability, remains unknown. We investigate the heritability of the HIV-1 reservoir size and its long-term decay by analyzin ...
NATURE RESEARCH2020HIV host genomics in the era of effective antiretroviral therapy
Christian Axel Wandall Thorball
The introduction and widespread use of antiretroviral therapy against Human Immunodefi-ciency Virus (HIV) has had a remarkable effect on disease progression and the longevity of infected individuals. However, the establishment of a latent viral reservoir a ...
EPFL2020Genetic spectrum of retinal dystrophies in Tunisia
We report the molecular basis of the largest Tunisian cohort with inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) reported to date, identify disease-causing pathogenic variants and describe genotype-phenotype correlations. A subset of 26 families from a cohort of 73 f ...
