    Notes: We report a patient with the fish odour syndrome who has both primary and secondary trimethylaminuria. The diagnosis was made using biochemical and genetic analysis in the apparent absence of any characteristic smell. Differentiation of primary and secondary trimethylaminuria is usually made on urinary analysis of trimethylamine and its metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide, with different, characteristic patterns of both compounds in primary and secondary trimethylaminuria. Our patient had biochemical analysis consistent with a diagnosis of secondary trimethylaminuria, while analysis of the flavin-containing mono-oxygenase 3 gene, the causative gene in primary trimethylaminuria, demonstrated three sequence polymorphisms, two of which are known to reduce enzyme activity. The patient showed temporary clinical and biochemical response to treatment with metronidazole and neomycin. It is important to be aware of this diagnosis in patients without obvious clinical signs, and of the subjective benefits of treatment.

    Notes: Thirty percent of patients with severe head injury also have significant extracranial injuries. Treatment for these injuries should not be allowed to jeopardise the brain which is more susceptible to damage in these circumstances. A case is presented in which significant decrease in cerebral perfusion pressure occurred consequent upon use of a lower limb tourniquet.

    Notes: Abstract An immunoassay was developed for the detection of hypercholesterolaemia in dried blood spots collected from 6-day-old neonates. Blood spot samples (9,673) were subjected to immunoturbidimetric assay to determine the levels of apolipoprotein B (apoB), an index of plasma low density lipoprotein, and of apolipoprotein A-1 (apoA-1), an index of plasma high density lipoprotein. Infants with raised apoB or a reduced apoA-1/apoB ratio were recalled, retested and, if appropriate, referred to the Vascular Risk Clinic at King's College Hospital for medical management. A total of 189 were recalled for further testing; of whom 82 (45%) attended the recall clinic. A group of 16 families (24 individuals) had abnormal lipid profiles; of these, 7 families (14 individuals) had lipid profiles consistent with inherited hypercholesterolaemia. Conclusion Neonatal screening for hypercholesterolaemia using blood spot apolipo- protein measurements is feasible but ethnic variations in disease prevalence must be considered in the design of a screening programme.

    Notes: Abstract The complement components C6 and C7 exhibit genetic polymorphism in the domestic dog. In the case of C6, there is a single locus with a null allele and two structural alleles; in the case of C7, there are two linked loci, each with three structural alleles. There is a null allele or locus deletion at one of these loci. In all cases, inheritance is autosomal and codominant. The C7 loci are closely linked to each other and to C6. This complex is not close to the dog major histocompatibility complex (MHC) locus.
