    Notes: An insertion sequence (IS901), found in pathogenic strains of Mycobacterium avium, but absent in M. avium complex isolates from patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), has been isolated and sequenced. This insertion element has a nucleotide sequence of 1472 bp, with one open reading frame (0RF1), which codes for a protein of 401 amino acids. The amino acid sequence, terminal ends and target site of IS901 are similar to those of IS900, present in Mycobacterium paratuberculosis. However, the DNA sequences of these two IS elements exhibit only 60% homology, compared to a DNA homology of 98% between their respective hosts. IS901, like IS900, appears to belong to a family of related insertion elements present in actinomycetes and other bacteria. M. avium strains containing IS900 were found to be more virulent in mice than closely related strains lacking IS901. IS901 may be a useful tool for the study of the genetics of virulence in the M. avium complex and for obtaining stable integration of foreign genes into mycobacteria.

    Notes: An artificial mycobacterial transposon was constructed by placing two copies of the insertion sequence IS900 flanking a kanamycin resistance gene into a non-(mycobacterial) replicating vector. Constructs were introduced into mycobacteria by electroporation and transposition events conferring kanamycin resistance were selected. Integration of IS900 into several genomic sites was analysed by Southern blotting and shown to involve both simple insertions and cointegrate formation, suggesting that IS900 can transpose by a replicative mechanism. Kanamycin resistance of IS900-integrated transformants was shown to be stable in the absence of selection.

    The Swedish childhood diabetes study — results from a nine year case register and a one year case-referent study indicating that Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is associated with both Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and autoimmune disorders (1989)

    Notes: Summary From July 1, 1977 to July 1, 1986, 3,503 incident cases of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus were registered in the Swedish childhood diabetes study. Using data from this register and from a case-referent study, including all incident Type 1 diabetic children in Sweden during one year and, for each patient, two referent children matched according to age, sex and county, we have studied the associations between Type 1 diabetes and familial Type 1 and Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes, thyroid, adrenal, allergic, rheumatic, heart and bowel disease. The mean annual incidence per 100,000 during the nine year period was 25.1 for boys and 23.5 for girls. In 8.5% of the patients, one parent had Type 1 diabetes, 73% of whom were fathers. Fifty-six of the patients (1.7%) had a parent with Type 2 diabetes. The prevalence of parental Type 1 diabetes tended to be higher in patients with younger age at onset; whereas, the opposite was found for patients with parental Type 2 diabetes. In the case-referent study, the age-adjusted odds ratio for Type 1 diabetes when a first and/or second degree relative had Type 1 diabetes was 5.5 (95% confidence limits 4.0–7.7), and in accordance with the findings of the case register, the odds ratio tended to be highest in patients with the youngest age at onset. Season at onset of the patients was not associated with parental Type 1 diabetes. The odds ratio for Type 1 diabetes was significantly increased 3.3 (95% confidence limits: 2.3–4.6) when Type 2 diabetes was reported in relatives (three generations). Odds ratios were also significantly increased (p(0.05) when thyroid or rheumatic diseases were reported among relatives. It is concluded that although the majority of incident Type 1 diabetic children lack family history, parental Type 1 diabetes may influence the age at onset of the disease but has no effect on sex distribution of these children. An increased risk for Type 1 diabetes in children is also indicated when Type 2 diabetes, (non-insulin-treated) thyroid or rheumatic disease is reported in relatives.

    The Swedish childhood diabetes study — social and perinatal determinants for diabetes in childhood (1989)

    Notes: Summary Using the Swedish childhood diabetes register, a nationwide, case-referent study was performed from September 1, 1985 to August 31, 1986. Based on the information from a mailed questionnaire sent to all incident diabetic children and for each diabetic child — two referent children matched according to age, sex, and county, we have analysed perinatal events and aspects of the social environment as possible risk factors for Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes in childhood. A significantly larger proportion of the mothers of the diabetic children were older than 40 years compared to those of the referent children (33% and 24%, p=0.01 respectively). A smaller percentage of mothers of the diabetic children had a high educational level compared to mothers of referent children (10% and 15%, p=0.03 respectively) and 39% of the fathers of the diabetic children were manual workers compared to 31% of the fathers of referent children (p=0.03). Perinatal events did not differ between diabetic and referent children. In children 0–6 years, the duration of breast-feeding was significantly shorter in diabetic children than among referent children (median duration for diabetic children 5 months compared to 6 months for referent children p=0.03). When considering the presence of Type 1 diabetes among relatives, maternal age over 40 years, low educational level of the mother, and the father being a manual worker as risk factors, the presence of 1 to 4 of any of these risk factors increased the relative risk for Type 1 diabetes cumulatively from 1.2–7.5. In conclusion, breast-feeding habits and probably other factors dependent on maternal age and the social status of the family may further increase the risk for Type 1 diabetes in genetically susceptible individuals.

    Notes: Summary Since 1 July 1977, all newly diagnosed diabetic children in Sweden aged 0–14 years have been reported to a central register. During the first 6 years, 2300 newly diagnosed diabetic children out of a population of 1.6 million children were registered. The degree of certainty was close to 100%. The mean of the yearly incidence rate for the whole 6 year period was 23.6 per 100000. The prevalence of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus on 1 July 1980 was 1.48 per 1000 and 1.52 on 1 July 1983. Comparing the first and second 3-year periods, an increase was found (22.7–25.1 per 100000). This increase was consistent when analyzing incidence rates by age, sex, and geographical distribution. Cumulative incidence rates revealed a risk of developing diabetes by the age of 15 years of 3.6 per thousand for boys and 3.2 per thousand for girls. The higher incidence for boys was consistent throughout the study period. Seasonal variations in the incidence rate were also consistent, showing yearly incidence peaks in the autumn and winter months. Incidence peaks were noted for both sexes in the pubertal ages. Age- and sex-standardized morbidity ratios varied significantly within the country. 12.8% of the probands had a first degree relative with Type 1 diabetes, and it was twice as common that this relative was a father as a mother. The high and rapidly increasing incidence of Type 1 diabetes in a genetically stable population such as Sweden calls for case-control studies directed towards the identification of environmental pathogens.

    Notes: Summary Genetic distances were calculated among 37 inbred lines representing a wide range of related and unrelated elite Corn Belt germ plasm of maize (Zea Mays L.), using 257 probe restriction enzyme combinations. Genetic distances based on RFLP data were highly correlated with coefficients of parentage among pairs of lines. The RFLP-based distance had a higher correlation with single-cross grain yield performance and grain yield heterosis than any of the other measures of similarity we calculated using these same lines. The coefficients of determination (r 2) from regressing the coefficient of parentage, grain yield, and grain yield heterosis on Nei's measure of genetic similarity based on RFLP data were 0.81, 0.87 and 0.77, respectively. A cluster diagram based upon the RFLP data grouped the lines into families consistent with the breeding history and heterotic response of these lines. We believe that measures of similarity calculated from RFLP data, coupled with pedigree knowledge and using molecular markers to locate quantitative trait loci (QTL), could allow maize breeders to predict combinations of lines that result in high-yielding, single-cross hybrids.

    Notes: Summary Eighty DNA Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) clones were used as probes to profile 47 hybrids of maize (Zea mays L.) that are of widespread usage in France and 49 hybrids that are either in common usage or are new releases in the U.S. The objectives were to 1) investigate the degree to which RFLPs provide unique characterization of hybrids; 2) show associations among hybrids using both cluster and principal coordinate analyses; 3) measure the ability of RFLPs to show associations among hybrids that reflect those to be expected on the basis of pedigree; and 4) compare the patterns and extent of genetic diversity among French hybrids with that found among a set of widely used U.S. hybrids. RFLPs showed all French hybrids to have different profiles, however, 3 hybrids were very similar with more than 90% of their profiles in common. Twenty-seven U.S. hybrids showed this level of similarity with one or more U.S. hybrids. High correlations (r=0.93, 0.94) were found for pedigree distance versus RFLP distance between pairs of French and of French and U.S. hybrids, respectively. Similar levels of correspondence for rank correlations between RFLP and pedigree data were also found. Similar groupings of hybrids were shown by two cluster analysis methods and by principal coordinate analysis. Inclusion of hybrids in cluster groupings was supported by observation of raw distance data for selected hybrids and their nearest neighbors. Most hectarage in France is planted to hybrids that fall within 2 related groups of germplasm on the basis of RFLP data. Minimum distance standards could promote breeders to surmount the challenge of introducing elite yet diverse germplasm into agriculture.
