Is impaired production of cytokines an independent predictor of mortality in HIV-1-infected patients?
Preserved capacity of blood cells to produce cytokines was associated with prolonged survival in HIV-1-infected patients indicating a clinical significance of impaired cytokine production in HIV-1 infection.
For individuals with SLOS, smaller callosal area and length are associated with higher 7-dehydrocholesterol, severity scores, and developmental delay. The relationship between callosal development and biochemical abnormalities in this cohort may lead to further studies supporting imaging biomarkers.
