    Notes: Summary An insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene has repeatedly been shown to be associated with ischaemic heart disease, but the association of this genetic marker with diabetic microangiopathy is controversial. To assess the association of the genotypes with the development of diabetic nephropathy or retinopathy, we performed a meta-analysis of data from the literature, using Mantel-Haenszel method followed by the Breslow-Day test for assessing homogeneity among data. In a total of 4773 diabetic patients from 18 studies with (n = 2495) and without (n = 2278) renal complications, the D allele was significantly associated with diabetic nephropathy (p 〈 0.0001) in a dominant model (summary odds ratio 1.32, 95 % confidence interval: 1.15 to 1.51). There was no significant evidence against homogeneity of the odds ratios (χ 2 = 18.9, 20 df; p = 0.53). The association was significant both in non-insulin-dependent (p 〈 0.005) and in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (p 〈 0.05). Likewise, in a total of 2010 diabetic patients with (n = 1008) and without (n = 1002) retinopathy, there was no association of the I/D polymorphism with diabetic retinopathy. These data suggest that the ACE I/D polymorphism affects the risk for diabetic nephropathy, but not for diabetic retinopathy. [Diabetologia (1998) 41: 47–53]

    Association of distal chromosome 2q with IDDM in Japanese subjects (1998)

    Notes: Summary An insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM)-susceptibility gene (IDDM13) has recently been mapped to a region of distal chromosome 2q, which is syntenic to the region of mouse chromosome 1 containing a murine susceptibility gene for IDDM, Idd5. To determine the contribution of this region to IDDM disease susceptibility further and to narrow the region for positional cloning of susceptibility genes, we have studied the association of distal chromosome 2q with IDDM in the genetically distinct Japanese population. A 137 mobility unit (mu) allele at D2S137 locus was significantly associated with IDDM (odds ratio 1.92, p = 0.0016). Other markers, D2S301 and D2S143, located in the same region were not associated with IDDM, indicating that IDDM13 is in linkage disequilibrium with D2S137, but not with D2S301 or D2S143. The association of D2S137 with IDDM was observed in patients lacking one of two high risk HLA alleles, DQB1 * 0303 and DQB1 * 0401, but not in patients with either of these alleles. The frequency of high risk HLA alleles was significantly lower in patients with the susceptible allele at D2S137, suggesting that IDDM13 contributes to IDDM susceptibility in subjects without high risk genotypes at IDDM1. Demonstration of allelic association of D2S137 with IDDM localizes IDDM13 in the close vicinity (〈 2 centiMorgans) of D2S137, greatly facilitating fine structure mapping and positional cloning of IDDM13.

    Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1a gene and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in the Japanese population (1998)

    Notes: Abstract Recently, hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (HNF-1α, which is encoded by the TCF1 gene) mutations were reported in a subset of patients with maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY3). We studied the contribution of TCF1 to genetic susceptibility to common non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 2) in Japanese subjects by investigating allelic association with type 2 diabetes use of three markers. We also studied the frequency of the G191D mutation, the only mutation of TCF1 reported so far in late-onset type 2 diabetes. A total of 356 subjects were studied. There were no significant differences in allele frequency of the three markers between patients with type 2 diabetes and control subjects. A G191D mutation was not found in the subjects studied, giving a frequency of less than 0.4% in common type 2 diabetes. The lack of association of type 2 diabetes with three markers in and near TCF1 suggests that mutations in TCF1 derived from a limited number of founders are not a major cause of common type 2 diabetes even in the genetically homogeneous Japanese population. The data also indicate that the G191D mutation in TCF1 plays little, if any, role in susceptibility to common type 2 diabetes in the Japanese.

    Positive Ion Mobility in Normal and Superfluid 3He at High Magnetic Field (1998)
    Springer
    Journal of low temperature physics 110 (1998), S. 225-230

    Notes: Abstract We have measured the mobility of positive ions (“snowballs”) in liquid 3 He at magnetic fields H = 0 − 12 T and temperatures T = 0.3 − 10 mK. In normal 3 He, with increasing magnetic field the mobility first increases and then decreases nearly quadratically. The initial rise of the mobility is most strongly seen at the lowest temperatures (T = 2.5−3 mK) and high pressures (p = 29 bar) where at H = 6 T the mobility reaches a maximum enhancement of about 6 %. We attribute this effect to the suppression of the exchange scattering with magnetic field and thus infer the value of the exchange scattering cross-section. In the superfluid A 1 and A 2 phases, the relative increase of the ion mobility, as the sample is cooled below the transition temperature, is about twice as small as in the A or B phases.
