Abstract: The invention provides for the use of a therapeutic derived from a truncated lipoprotein lipase protein (LPL S447X), including nucleic acids encoding such proteins, for the treatment of conditions including LPL responsive conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, LPL deficiency, high triglyceride levels, low HDL-cholesterol levels or atherosclerosis.

Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and compositions for treating a vascular, autoimmune, and/or inflammatory disease, or a condition associated therewith, with a dose of an inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitor effective to treat the vascular, autoimmune and/or inflammatory disease, or associated condition but that does not produce immunosuppression sufficient to reduce the risk of allograft rejection. These lower doses of the immunosuppressant avoid the adverse consequences of severe immunosuppression while providing effective treatment of the vascular, autoimmune and/or inflammatory disease.

Abstract: Methods of determining a subject's ototoxicity risk from administration of a pharmacotherapeutic compound having an ototoxicity risk, methods of administering a pharmacotherapeutic compound having an ototoxicity risk and oligonucleotides, peptide nucleic acids, arrays, and addressable collections for performing embodiments of the methods are provided herein.

Abstract: The invention features ABC1 nucleic acids and polypeptides for the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal cholesterol regulation. The invention also features methods for identifying compounds for modulating cholesterol levels in an animal (e.g., a human).

Abstract: Recombinant viruses comprising a heterologous DNA sequence coding for a lipase involved in lipoprotein metabolism. The invention also concerns the preparation and use in therapy of said recombinant viruses, especially for the treatment or prevention of dyslipoproteinemia-related pathologies.

Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and compositions for the treatment of vascular, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases using a combination of an inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitor and a HMG CoA reductase inhibitor.
