    Abstract: Disclosed are compositions including primers and probes, which are capable of interacting with the disclosed nucleic acids, such as the nucleic acids encoding the reverse transcriptase, protease, or integrase of HIV as disclosed herein. Thus, provided is an oligonucleotide comprising any one of the nucleotide sequences set for in SEQ ID NOS: 1-89, 96-122, and 124-151. Also provided are the oligonucleotides consisting of the nucleotides as set forth in SEQ ID NOS: 1-89, 96-122, and 124-151. Each of the disclosed oligonucleotides is a probe or a primer. Also provided are mixtures of primers and probes and for use in RT-PCR and primary PCR reactions disclosed herein. Provided are methods for the specific detection of several mutations in HIV simultaneously or sequentially. Mutations in the reverse transcriptase, protease, or integrase of HIV can be detected using the methods described herein.

    Abstract: Recombinant viruses, such as adeno-associated virus (rAAV) or lentivirus, for the treatment of glycogen storage disease type lb (GSD-Ib) are described. The recombinant viruses use either the human glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PC) promoter/enhancer (GPE) or the minimal human G6PT promoter/enhancer (miGT) to drive expression of human glucose-6-phosphate transporter (G6PT). The disclosed vectors are capable of delivering the G6PT transgene to the liver and correcting metabolic abnormalities in a murine model of GSD-Ib. The recombinant virus-treated mice maintained glucose homeostasis, tolerated a long fast, and did not elicit anti-G6PT antibodies. Methods of treating a subject diagnosed with GSD-Ib using the recombinant viruses is further described.
