Objectives: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the most common systemic autoimmune disease which likely involves complex interactions between genes and the environment. Two large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated many loci as genetic risk factors associated with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Among them there are a number of pSS associated gene polymorphisms including the MHC-II, STAT4, IRF5, BLK, and TNIP1 genes that are shared with SLE.

This study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of sequence variants in LCA5 in patients with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), early-onset retinal dystrophy (EORD), and autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (arRP); to delineate the ocular phenotypes; and to provide an overview of all published LCA5 variants in an online database. Patients underwent standard ophthalmic evaluations after providing informed consent. In selected patients, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence imaging were possible.

The plasmid DNA (pDNA) loading by cationic polymers or/and cationic lipids is essential for gene therapy, especially for metal implants such as stents and artificial joints. Polycations can condense with pDNA by self-assembly, forming polyplexes spontaneously as a result of electrostatic interactions to carry and transfer pDNA in vivo. Cationic polymers, such as chitosan, can also protect pDNA from degradation by DNase.
