    Notizen: Maternal factors are known to influence the heritability and expression of asthma and atopy. We report the association of maternal, paternal and proband GSTP1 genotype with lung function in 145 Caucasian children with asthma. GSTP1 Val105/Val105 and Ala114/Val114 genotypes in the child were associated with non-significant increases in lung function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and the FEV1/FVC ratio). Paternal genotype had no influence on lung function in the child. In contrast, maternal GSTP1 Val105/Val105 genotype was significantly associated with offspring lung function and was strongly predictive of FEV1/FVC (Val105/Val105 105.2%, Ile105/Val105 and Ile105/Ile105 97.9% p = 0.006) and maternal GSTP1 Ala114/Val114 genotype was associated with significantly higher FEV1 (Ala114/Val114 109.0%, Ala114/Ala114 99.0% p = 0.008), and FEV1/FVC ratios (Ala114/Val114 104.1%, Ala114/Ala114 98.2% p = 0.04). The associations between maternal GSTP1 Val105/Val105 genotype and FEV1/FVC and maternal GSTP1 Ala114/Val114 genotype and FEV1 remained significant (p = 0.003 and p = 0.007) after correction for child and maternal atopic status, passive smoke exposure, smoking during pregnancy, individual and paternal GSTP1 genotype and was independent of transmission to the child. These data support the hypothesis that maternal GSTP1 genotype can act as a specific risk factor which has ex utero consequences for children with asthma. As a child's genotype is not independent of maternal genotype, effects seen in candidate gene studies may be due at least in part to this phenomenon.

    Notizen: Summary.  This framework document offers guidance to patients, doctors, nurses, laboratory scientists, funders and hospitals on the provision of clinical and laboratory genetic services for haemophilia. With recent advances in molecular laboratory techniques it is now possible to give the vast majority of individual patients and family members very reliable genetic information. To enable these genetic data to be used for both the optimal treatment of patients with inherited bleeding disorders and for appropriate reproductive decisions in carriers, there needs to be a clear and robust framework for systematically acquiring the necessary clinical, personal, family and laboratory information upon which decisions can be made. This document provides guidance on the range and standards of clinical and laboratory genetic services which should be offered to patients and their families. Included are arrangements for genetic counselling and testing (including consent and confidentially issues), management of early pregnancy, standards for laboratory genetic services, as well as advice on data storage, security and retrieval.

    Notizen: Rationale Previous data have suggested that glutathione-S-transferase (GST) genotypes are important in determining the rate of lung function growth in childhood. This effect was most marked in Caucasian children with asthma.Objectives We investigated the association of lung function with GSTM1, GSTP1 and GSTT1 genotypes in Caucasian families with asthma.Methods Four hundred and eighteen children and 316 parents from 224 Caucasian families were recruited via a child with asthma, the proband. Associations between lung function and GST genotype were determined using multilevel models.Results There were no observed associations between lung function and GST genotype in parents. However, in the children, the GSTP1 val105/val105 and GSTM1 null genotypes were associated with significantly higher forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and FVC values as percentage of predicted. This effect was not statistically significant in the probands but was marked in their siblings in whom GSTP1 val105/val105 was associated with 9.4% higher FEV1 and 10.7% higher FVC (P=0.005 and 0.001, respectively). The GSTM1 null genotype was associated with a 6.7% higher FEV1 and 4.1% higher FVC (P=0.003 and 0.063, respectively). These effects remained significant after correcting for the confounders of individual atopic status, tobacco smoke exposure and familial aggregation of lung function values.Conclusions GSTM1 and GSTP1 genotypes are important determinants of lung function in childhood. The smaller differences seen in probands are predicted by a simple model in which more rapid decline in lung function is seen in these individuals.

    Notizen: Both in humans and in experimental animals, much of the airway hyperresponsiveness that accompanies viral infections is the result of increased reflex bronchoconstriction. The M3 muscarinic receptors on the airway smooth muscle function normally during viral infections so that the direct effects of acetylcholine on the smooth muscle are not altered. In contrast, the M2 muscarinic receptors on the vagal nerve endings, which normally inhibit acetycholine release, are markedly dysfunctional during viral infections. This leads to substantial increases in acetylcholine release and potentiated reflex bronchoconstriction. Multiple mechanisms account for virus-induced M2 receptor dysfunction. Viral neuraminidase may deglycosylate the M2 receptor, decreasing acetylcholine affinity. Furthermore, both viruses and interferon-γ decrease M2 receptor gene expression. Finally, in atopic hosts, viral infection causes M2 receptor dysfunction by activating eosinophils, causing them to release major basic protein which binds to the M2 receptor, functioning as an endogenous antagonist.

    Notizen: We describe a novel T to C transition at position −198 from the transcription start of the human nerve growth-factor (NGF) gene. In British Caucasoid healthy control group that we have genotyped, T and C allele frequencies are 0.633 and 0.367, respectively. This polymorphism affects vitamin D receptor (VDR) binding to its motif in the NGF promoter.

    Notizen: The molecular factors and events that characterize susceptibility and outcome in cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (BCC) have been the focus of much research interest. As a result, we are beginning to understand the complex relationships between exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), host response and the resulting damage to key genes that characterize these tumours. In this review, we will focus on genetic factors that influence susceptibility and outcome. While the search for susceptibility genes has generally resulted in the identification of low penetrance allelic variants, studies on modifier genes influencing outcome variables such as tumour number, age of onset and tumour subtype have identified factors with higher potential impact. Here we will briefly describe some recent work on the genetic basis of the immune response to UVR, the effect of UVR on the generation of reactive oxygen species and their detoxification, and the role of onco- and tumour suppressor genes. Areas for further research are highlighted, together with a consideration of possible applications in clinical practice.

    Notizen: [Auszug] We have some preliminary results on DNA synthesis in the X chromosomes of three female mules; skin cultures were established from all three, lymphocyte cultures from two and the G6PD isoenzymes were studied in one. The results seem to demonstrate preferential late replication of the paternal X ...

    Notizen: Abstract The case of a 20-week fetus is reported with almost completely deficient ossification of the vertebral bodies and absent ossification of several long bones. This could be a unique skeletal dysplasia or the most severe end of the atelosteogenesis spectrum.

    Notizen: Abstract While cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption have been linked to laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the role of genetic factors in determining individual susceptibility is unknown. We describe the role of allelism at the glutathione S-transferase GSTM1, GSTM3, GSTT1 and cytochrome P450 CYPIA1, CYP2E1, CYP2D6 loci in determining individual susceptibility to laryngeal SCC. Enzyme genotypes were determined using polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzyme digestion of leukocyte DNA collected from 269 patients with T1–T4 laryngeal carcinomas and 216 controls. While the frequencies of the heterozygote GSTM1 A/B genotype and the homozygote GSTM3 B/B genotype were statistically significantly lower in the patients with tumors than in controls, the frequency of the GSTT1 null genotype was higher in the patients than in controls. The data suggest that allelism at GST loci mediates susceptibility to SCC of the larynx. GSTM1 A/B and GSTM3 B/B appear to be associated with reduced risk, while GSTT1 null may confer increased risk. These findings are compatible with the view that genetic predisposition is important in determining risk for this cancer.
