Abstract

This document provides methods and materials related to treating a disease. For example, this document provides methods for treating a subject's disease based on identifying the risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy PML using a genetic test.

Claims (31)

1. A method of treating a condition in a subject in need of immunosuppressive therapy, comprising: administering a therapeutically effective amount of an immunosuppressive agent that has a potential to induce progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) due to an infection of the brain by John Cunningham virus (JCV), wherein the subject has been tested for a presence of one or more genetic variations with a genetic assay and has been identified as not having the one or more genetic variations, wherein the one or more genetic variations disrupt or modulate an ACD gene, a BLK gene, a C2 gene, a CD36 gene, a CFHR4 gene, a CFTR gene, a FAT4 gene, a KMT2D gene, a LPIN2 gene, a MX1 gene, a NCF2 gene, an OAS3 gene, a PLAUR gene, a PLD1 gene, a PLXNB1 gene, a PRRC2A gene, a RANBP2 gene, a SH3BP2 gene or a TBC1D17 gene; and wherein the administering is based on the identification of the subject as not having the one or more genetic variations.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises testing the subject for the presence of the one or more genetic variations with the genetic assay prior to the administering, wherein the genetic assay comprises microarray analysis, PCR, sequencing, nucleic acid hybridization, or any combination thereof.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the genetic assay comprises whole exome sequencing or whole genome sequencing.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has been tested with a JCV antibody test, a CD62L test or a CSF IgM oligoclonal bands test.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more genetic variations disrupt or modulate an ACD gene, a BLK gene, a CD36 gene, a CFHR4 gene, a CFTR gene, a FAT4 gene, a KMT2D gene, a MX1 gene, a NCF2 gene, an OAS3 gene, a PLAUR gene, a PLD1 gene, a PLXNB1 gene, a PRRC2A gene, a RANBP2 gene, or a TBC1D17 gene.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more genetic variations comprise two or more genetic variations.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the one or more genetic variations comprises at least 5 genetic variations.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the genetic assay comprises determining a sex genotype for a biological sample from the subject and confirming the sex genotype of the biological sample is the same as a sex phenotype of the subject.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has been identified as not having one or more other genetic variations that disrupt or modulate a corresponding gene according to Tables 1, 3, 6-10, 28A, 29, 31, 34-36, 40, 47 and 48.
