    Notes: Abstract A previously identified complex mutation, affecting exon 28 of the neurofibromatosis type 1 gene, was employed for the analysis of the expression pattern in primary cultures of neurofibroma cells and melanocytes from a café-au-lait macule of the patient, respectively. Reverse transcription and subsequent polymerase chain reaction amplification of the segment carrying the mutation revealed that both alleles were expressed in both cell types analysed, thus excluding loss of heterozygosity in this particular instance. Segregation of the alleles of the intragenic Alu sequence length-polymorphism disclosed the paternal orgin of the mutated allele. Detection of this mutation was also used for presymptomatic direct DNA diagnosis in the younger child of the patient.

    Notes: Abstract A new mutation, the first one close to the 5′-end of the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene, was found when RNA preparations from various cell types of 15 NF1 patients were analysed by reverse transcription and subsequent multiplex polymerase chain reaction. This mutation removes the 84 by of exon 3 precisely from the cDNA. Genomic Southern blots revealed a larger deletion with breakpoints within the introns flanking exon 3. This mutation suggests that the amino-terminal region of neurofibromin is functionally significant. When using this mutation to distinguish the wild type and mutant alleles, their expression could be analysed in neurofibroma fibroblasts, melanocytes from the unaffected skin, and those from a café-au-lait macule. In all these cell types, the products of both alleles were detected, confirming similar results obtained with a different NFl gene mutation.

    Notes: Abstract We screened a total of 92 unrelated patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) for mutations in exon 37 of the NF1 gene, by using temperature gradient gel electrophoresis. Two novel mutations were found: a 4 bp deletion in a so-called quasi-symmetric element (6789delTTAC) and a recurrent nonsense mutation, which was identified in two unrelated patients, at codon 2264 (C6792A). The independent origin of the latter mutation in two families was confirmed by haplotype analysis. The nonsense mutation and the 4 bp deletion are both predicted to lead to a truncated protein product lacking the Cterminal 20% (aproximately) of its sequence. The occurrence of three independent mutations among 92 NF1 patients at codons 2263–2264 (exon 37) suggests that a specific search for mutations in this area should be undertaken in screening programs for NF1 mutations.

    Notes: Summary Melanocyte cultures from the normally pigmented skin of patients with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF 1) have a higher melanin content than those from the skin of healthy donors. An additional increase in the amount of melanin per cell was found in 5 out of 6 lines of melanocytes derived from café au lait macules of NF 1 patients. Omission of the tumor promoter phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate from the culture medium brings about a comparable increase in the melanin content in all three kinds of melanocyte cultures. Cultures of NF 1 melanocytes show a higher tyrosine hydroxylase activity than those of control melanocytes, and incorporate larger amounts of dihydroxyphenylalanine than the latter. We conclude that melanogenesis in epidermis melanocytes is affected by defective alleles of the NF 1 gene. Our findings do not contradict the hypothesis that the defect underlying NF 1 impairs the inhibition of a wild-type RAS oncogene by interfering with the GTPase-activating function of the NF 1 gene product.

    Notes: [Auszug] Sir — After the cloning of the neurofibromatosistype 1 (NF1) gene in 1990 1–3, numerous groups began to search for causative mutations. Although several hundred patients were included in studies carried out by the members of the NNFF International NF1 Genetic Analysis Consortium, only ...

    Notes: Abstract Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common autosomal dominant disorder. It is caused by mutations in the NF1 gene, which comprises 60 exons and is located on chromosome 17q11.2. A total of 170 unrelated NF1 patients were screened for mutations in four exons by temperature-gradient gel electrophoresis. Preparatory work revealed the presence of a previously uncharacterized intron (19a) in what was previously designated exon 19; this allowed us to develop assays for genomic mutation screening in the newly defined exons 19a and 19b. Two novel NF1 mutations were detected: a single-base insertion in exon 19a creating a frameshift, and a second mutation affecting the splice donor site of intron 20 and leading to skipping of exon 20. A novel BsaBI polymorphism was identified in intron 19a.

    Notes: Abstract Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is characterized by clinical features that primarily affect tissues derived from the neural crest (neurofibromas, café-au-lait macules). Because aberrant regulation of alternative splicing in the NF1 gene transcript may be of functional significance, cultured melanocytes from café-au-lait macules (CALM), as an example of benign NF1 lesions, were examined for the expression of the different alternative splice products of this gene. Both kinds of NF1 messengers (type 1 and 2) were found not only in CALM melanocytes but also in keratinocytes, fibroblasts and blood cells. Except in blood cells, there was a predominance of the type 2 transcript. Melanocytes from NF1 patients and healthy donors showed similar expression patterns under several culture conditions. Our results suggest that the development of CALM does not correlate with a switch in the ratio of type 1 to type 2 NF1 messenger RNA.

    Description / Table of Contents: Diademane and Structurally Related Compounds, I Preparation and Characteristic Reactions of Some Tris-σ-homobenzene HydrocarbonsDiademane (5) and 1,6-Homodiademane (6) are the first hydrocarbons with cis-tris-σ-homobenzene skeletons. They were prepared by photoisomerization of the olefinic precursors 8 („snoutene“) and 15 („4,5-homosnoutene“), respectively. In an analogous reaction the bridged trans-tris-σ-homobenzene 7 was formed from 17 („endo,exo-bishomobarrelene“). 7 is more easily obtained from 17 by rhodium(I)-catalyzed isomerization or from exo,exo-bishomobarrelene 18 by thermal rearrangement. The unbridged 4 was prepared using a newly developed synthetic sequence starting from 1,3-cyclohexadiene. The thermal rearrangement of 5 and 6 to triquinacene (9) and 1,10-homotriquinacene (16) is very facile; the gas phase kinetic parameters (ln k (5) = 33.7 - 31600/RT and ln k (6) = 32.2 - 28300/RT, both first order) strongly corroborate, that these rearrangements are concerted [σ2a + σ2a + σ2s]-Cycloreversions. [3,6-12C2]-labelled 4 upon thermolysis yields a trans-bicyclo[4.3.0]nona-3,7-diene (31 ≙ 22) with a 12C-labelling pattern, which proves its formation via a 3-step mechanism. The first step in this sequence most probably is a [σ2s + σ2s + σ2a] cycloreversion with ln k = 30.8 - 42000 RT(first order). Only the bridged compound 7 does not follow the same path, probably due to excessive ring strain in the transition state, and prefers a stepwise [2 + 2] cycloreversion leading to 18 and at least 5 secondary products.
    Notes: Diademan (5) und 1,6-Homodiademan (6), die ersten Kohlenwasserstoffe mit cis-Tris-σ-homo-benzol-Gerüst, wurden durch Photoisomerisierung der monoolefinischen Vorstufen 8 („Snouten“) bzw. 15 („4,5-Homosnouten“) gewonnen. Analog entstand aus 17 („endo,exo-Bis-homobarrelen“) das überbrückte trans-Tris-σ-homobenzol 7, das sich bequemer auch durch Rhodium(I)-katalysierte Isomerisierung von 17, oder thermische Umlagerung von exo,exo-Bishomobarrelen 18 erhalten ließ. Das nicht überbrückte 4 wurde nach einer neuen Synthesesequenz aus 1,3-Cyclohexadien dargestellt. Thermisch lagern sich 5 und 6 sehr leicht in Triquinacen (9) bzw. 1,10-Homotriquinacen (16) um, die gasphasen-kinetischen Parameter (In k (5) = 33.7 - 31600/RT und in k (6) = 32.2 - 28300/RT, beide 1. Ordnung) lassen auf konzertiert verlaufende [σ2s + σ2s + σ2s]-Cycloreversionen schließen. [3,6-12C2]-markiertes 4 liefert bei der Thermolyse ein trans-Bicyclo[4.3.0]nona-3,7-dien (31 ≙ 22) mit einem 12C-Markierungsmuster, das einen dreistufigen Bildungsmechanismus beweist. Dabei ist der erste Schritt wahrscheinlich eine [σ2s + σ2s + σ2s]-Cycloreversion mit ln k = 30.8 - 42000/RT (1. Ordnung). Nur das überbrückte 7 weicht diesem Umlagerungstyp aus und erfährt - offenbar aus Gründen der Ringspannung - eine schrittweise verlaufende [2 + 2]-Cycloreversion zu 18 und mindestens 5 Folgeprodukten.

    Description / Table of Contents: Diademane and Structurally Related Compounds, II. Catalytic Rearrangements and HydrogenationsCopper, silver, gold, and rhodium compounds catalyze the rearrangement of diademane (1) to triquinacene (5) and snoutene (7), respectively. Known mechanisms may be adopted to explain this behaviour. The catalytic hydrogenation of 1 leads to a mixture of 6 products, 9-14, the composition of which was independent of the extent of reaction. Adamantane, the thermodynamically most stable isomer of all conceivable “hexahydrodiademanes”, was not detected.
    Notes: Kupfer-, Silber-, Gold- und Rhodiumverbindungen katalysieren die Umlagerung von Diademan (1) zu Triquinacen (5) bzw. Snouten (7). Zur Erklärung können bekannte Mechanismen herangezogen werden. Die katalytische Hydrierung von 1 führt zu den 6 Produkten 9-14 in einer vom Umsetzungsgrad unabhängigen Zusammensetzung. Adamantan, das thermodynamisch stabilste aller möglichen “Hexahydrodiademane”, konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden.
