Abstract: A retrospective pharmacogenetic analysis was conducted in an attempt to evaluate potential association between genetic variation and outcome of a clinical trial of efficacy of aliskiren as an antihypertensive agent. Forty-eight polymorphisms were examined in twelve genes from the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAS) or previously implicated in blood pressure regulation. Significant associations were seen between one polymorphism in the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene, two polymorphisms in the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AGTR2) gene, and clinical parameters of mean sitting diastolic and systolic blood pressure decrease. These effects were not found with irbesartan and placebo treatment, but instead were specific to aliskiren treatment.

Abstract: A gene for type C Niemann-Pick disease (NP-C) is disclosed, along with the amino acid sequence of the encoded peptide. Applications which are made possible by the present invention include detection of NP-C carriers and diagnosis of NP-C sufferers. The murine ortholog of the human gene is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to the changes in gene expression in mast cells and tissues removed from patients with allergic hypersensitivity. The invention specifically relates to the genes MC21, MC22, MC25, MC33, MC36, and MC39, which are differentially expressed in mast cells compared to normal tissues and in resting mast cells versus activated mast cells.
