Identifying unstable CNG repeat loci in the human genome: a heuristic approach and implications for neurological disorders by Varun Suroliya, Bharathram Uppili, Manish Kumar, Vineet Jha, Achal K. Srivastava, Mohammed Faruq

“…The genes with these highly variable repeats also exhibited higher gene expression levels in the brain according to the tissue expression dataset (GTEx). No pathogenic expansion events were identified in patient samples, which is a limitation given the size of the patient group examined; however, these loci contain potential risk alleles for expandability. …”

4-Aminoquinoline as a privileged scaffold for the design of leishmanicidal agents: structure–property relationships and key biological targets by Angel H. Romero, Francisco Delgado

“…At the moment, there are neither approved vaccines nor effective drugs for the treatment of human leishmaniasis for any of its three typical clinical manifestations, and, importantly, the drugs of clinical use have several side effects, require complex administration regimens, present high cost, and are ineffective in many populations due to pathogen resistance. Moreover, beyond the pharmacological exigencies, there are other challenges concerning its parasitic nature, such as its great genetic plasticity and adaptability, enabling it to activate a battery of genes to develop resistance quickly. …”
