    Notes: [Auszug] The serum of a patient, Mrs. B., known to contain anti-Fyb reacting by the anti-human globulin technique, gave some unexpected reactions with some known Fy(b -) blood samples. One of these cell samples was a Bp(+) (ref. 2), so that the presence of anti-Bp was established. There was still an ...

    Notes: [Auszug] A plausible explanation of these findings is that Mrs. W. and her daughter both possess, at the MN locus, a rare allele of M and N; for this the symbol MK, in which K stands for Mrs. W.'s maiden name, is proposed. Further evidence for the existence of such a gene is provided by the MNSs groups of ...

    Notes: The major erythrocyte membrane (MN) sialoglycoprotein in Mg red cells was found to exhibit a slightly decreased sodium-dodecyl-sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic molecular weight and periodic acid/Schiff staining intensity. Mg antigen activity was shown to be associated with this molecule. As judged from chemical modification experiments, no carbohydrate but the glycoprotein's N-terminal amino acid is involved in the Mg receptor site. The endgroup of the glycoprotein was found to leucine and studies involving Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease suggest that a glutamic acid is located at the fitth position of its peptide chain. This indicates that the Mgs gene complex evolved from a mutation of an Ns allele. An amino acid substitution or deletion at the second, third and/or fourth position(s), preventing the glycosylation of all or some of these amino acids, provides an explanation for the properties of Mg erythrocytes.

    Notes: Summary Some twenty cases of dispermic chimeras with the karyotype 46,XX/46,XY, discovered because of gonadal dysplasias or a true hermaphroditism, have been reported. This is a report of a phenotypically normal man with 46,XX/46,XY chimerism in whom a prepubertal finding of positive X-chromatin was interpreted as Klinefelter syndrome. The diagnosis was revised 11 years later when the family doctor, who doubted the earlier diagnosis because of the patient's normal-sized testes, sent him to an outpatient clinic. The young man was 23 years old, athletic (74kg, 180cm), with normal body proportions, normal sexual hair distribution, normal libido and potency, normal endocrine parameters, and a normal spermiogram. The karyotype revealed an XX/XY mosaic in a proportion of 1:2. An identical set of maternal markers (Q- and C-banding) was present in male and female cells. Differences were found with respect to two paternal markers. Furthermore, blood, serum, and red cell enzyme groups in five systems showed two phenotypes, again with duality of paternal origin. It is concluded that a positive X-chromatin in prepuperty, especially in the absence of supporting clinical features, must be followed by a karyotype study.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In einer Sippe mit dominant vererbter Myotonia congenita wurde das „Überspringen“ einer Generation beobachtet. Fehlende Penetranz scheint daher bei dieser Affektion vorzukommen. Diese Möglichkeit sollte bei der genetischen Beratung berücksichtigt werden.
    Notes: Summary The skipping of one generation in a family pedigree with dominant myotonia congenita is reported. It is suggested that non-penetrance in this condition occurs and should be considered in genetic counselling as a rare, but realistic possibility.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Nach der vorherrschenden Auffassung ist die Früherkennung und genetische Beratung der myotonen Dystrophie durch das relativ hohe Manifestationsalter erschwert oder unmöglich. Entsprechend zeigt die klinische Erfahrung, daß es zahlreiche Familien gibt, in der die Erkrankung erst nach der Erzeugung der Nachkommenschaft bemerkt und deshalb über mehrere Generationen vererbt wurde. Das Ziel dieser Untersuchung ist, zu klären, bis zu welchem Lebensalter in den betroffenen Sippen die zu erwartende Erkrankungshäufigkeit von 50% festzustellen ist. Untersucht wurden 97 Personen aus 18 Sippen, von denen 55 der Elterngeneration und 42 der Filialgeneration angehören. 53 der 97 Personen litten an einer myotonen Dystrophie (36 Eltern-, 17 Filialgeneration). Die erwartete Penetranz von 50% wird in den betroffenen Familien unter 20 Jahren erreicht. Das Manifestationsalter erhöht sich auf 20–29 Jahre, wenn 19 nicht untersuchte Mitglieder der Filialgeneration berücksichtigt werden. Die häufigsten subjektiven Symptome sind Krämpfe in den Händen (49%), Muskelschwäche (23%), verwaschene Sprache und Schluckstörungen (5%). 21% der klinisch Kranken waren subjektiv symptomlos. Die häufigsten objektiven Befunde sind myotone Reaktion (75=96%), Facies myopathica und Schwäche des M. orb. oculi (71=84%), Schwäche des M. sternocleidomastoideus (71=72%) und M. tib.ant. (50=72%), Stirnglatze bei Männern (76=80%). Mittels der Spaltlampenuntersuchung wurde bei 37% der Kranken eine myotone Katarakt nachgewiesen. Die Untersuchung auf ABH-Sekretorstatus und Lutheran-Blutgruppen zeigte in keiner der untersuchten Familien die Kopplung des Gens für myotone Dystrophie mit dem Sekretorallel Se bzw. se. Auch die Lutheran-Blutgruppenbestimmung lieferte keine Information. Die vorherrschende Meinung, daß die genetische Beratung für die myotone Dystrophie erst im vorgerückten Erwachsenenalter möglich ist, ist nicht zutreffend. Unsere Studie zeigt, daß in der überwiegenden Mehrzahl der Fälle die Träger der Anlage vor dem 20. Altersjahr durch eine einfache klinische Untersuchung identifiziert werden können.
    Notes: Summary Is is generally believed that because of the relatively high age of onset, early detection and genetic counselling in cases of myotonic dystrophy is difficult, if not impossible. Accordingly, clinical experience shows that the disease in many families was detected only after birth of the offspring, and was thus passed on over several generations. The aim of this study is to determine the age at which the expected rate of affection of 50% in the different sibs is found. Ninety-seven individuals were examined in this study; they had originated from 18 different sibs. Of the total number of individuals examined, 55 belonged to the parental generation, the other 42 to the filial generation. Of the 97 patients, 53 suffered from myotonic dystrophy (36 parental, 17 filial generation). The expected penetrance of 50% was reached at less than 20 years in the affected families. The age of onset increased to 20–29 years if we consider the 19 individuals of the filial generation who could not be examined. The most common subjective symptoms were cramps in the hands (49%), muscle weakness (23%), and indistinct speech and disturbances of swallowing (5%). Of the clinically affected individuals, 21% were found to be subjectively free of symptoms. The most common objective signs were myotonic reaction (75=96%), facies myopathica and weakness of the m. orb. oculi (71=72%), weakness of the m. sternocleidomastoideus (71=72%) and m. tib. ant. (50=72%), and frontal baldness in the males (76=80%). A myotonic cataract was found in 37% of the cases using slit lamp examination. The examinations for ABH secretor status and the Lutheran blood groups did not show a linkage in any of the families between the myotonic dystrophy gene and the secretor allel Se, or se respectively. Further the Lutheran blood group determination gave no new information. Contrary to the prevailing opinion, it is concluded that genetic counsellig in cases of myotonic dystrophy is possible before advanced adult life. This study shows that the carriers of the disease can be identified with a simple clinical examination in the great majority of the cases before the age of 20.
