Placental transfer of doravirine, a recent HIV-1 NNRTI in the ex vivo human cotyledon perfusion model.

Background: The recent HIV-1 NNRTI doravirine is likely to be used in pregnant women despite the complete lack of data on safety and exposure in the fetus. The objective of this study was to determine its placental transfer.

Methods: Maternal-to-fetal transfer was investigated using the open-circuit ex vivo dually perfused human cotyledon model.

Placental transfer of the integrase strand inhibitors cabotegravir and bictegravir in the ex-vivo human cotyledon perfusion model.

: Data on placental transfer is lacking for the recent HIV integrase inhibitors, bictegravir and cabotegravir, although their future use in pregnancy is to be expected. The objective of this study was to determine their transplacental pharmacokinetics. Maternal-to-fetal transfer was investigated using the open-circuit ex-vivo dually perfused human cotyledon model.

From a dominant to an oligogenic model of inheritance with environmental modifiers in acute intermittent porphyria.

Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a disease affecting the heme biosynthesis pathway caused by mutations of the hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene. AIP is thought to display autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance. We evaluated the prevalence, penetrance and heritability of AIP, in families with the disease from the French reference center for porphyria (CFP) (602 overt patients; 1968 relatives) and the general population, using Exome Variant Server (EVS; 12 990 alleles) data.
