    Notizen: Objective To establish reference ranges for the levels of alpha-fetoprotein, albumin, prealbumin (transthyretin) alpha-1-antitrypsin, transferrin, ceruloplasmin and total protein in the plasma of normal human fetuses and newborn babies.Design Prospective study of individual normal cases to fulfil objectives.Setting Pathology laboratories of the University of Edinburgh and the biochemistry laboratories of the University of Keele.Subjects Twenty-two normal fetuses 13 to 22 weeks of gestation and 66 babies born between 24 and 41 weeks gestation.Results Albumin is the predominant plasma protein throughout gestation. The levels of alpha-fetoprotein and prealbumin fell significantly with increasing gestation, whereas the concentrations of the other proteins studied increased. The ratios of individual proteins to total protein demonstrated similar trends.Conclusions This study provides developmental profiles of normal human fetal plasma proteins to serve as possible reference data for abnormal fetuses. Declining levels of prealbumin (transthyretin) were unexpected and suggest a functional role for this protein in early pregnancy.

    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: We present the case of a 53-year-old Caucasian woman with seven basal cell carcinomas and one malignant melanoma in situ along her back overlying her spine, which was irradiated in 1968 for ankylosing spondylitis. These lesions developed between 1997 and 1999. She has no other known risk factors for cutaneous malignancy, in particular no history of excessive sun exposure. She has skin type 2. Molecular studies of glutathione S-transferase and cytochrome P450 status showed her genotype not to constitute an overall increased inherited susceptibility. We therefore postulate that all her skin cancers have arisen as a consequence of her radiotherapy. To our knowledge this is the first case of multiple basal cell carcinoma in addition to a malignant melanoma following radiotherapy for benign disease.

    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: Background Previously, an association has been reported between an increased risk of asthma and a polymorphism in the Clara cell secretory protein (CC16) gene [namely, an adenine to guanine substitution in the CC16 gene at position 38 (A38G) downstream from the transcription initiation site within the noncoding region of exon 1]. Homozygous individuals for the polymorphic sequence (AA genotype) were reported to have a significant (6.9 fold) increased risk of developing asthma. This finding has not been confirmed independently.Objective To validate the association of CC16 A38G polymorphism to asthma in a separate well-characterized population through a case–control study.Methods We conducted an association study using a sample of 217 unrelated Northern European Caucasians. Individuals were clinically characterized by a validated respiratory questionnaire, spirometry and bronchial reactivity measurement, and genotyped for the A38G polymorphism using PCR and restriction digestion. Association analysis was performed using the nonparametric Chi-squared tests.Results In the unselected population, 43.3% participants were homozygous for the CC16*G allele and 45.4% were heterozygous (AG). We observed no significant difference in the distribution of positive bronchial reactivity to methacholine (at FEV1 PC20 of ≤ 8 mg/mL) across the three genotypes. Homozygous individuals for the CC16*A allele did not demonstrate an increased risk of asthma when compared to heterozygous or GG homozygotes. In addition, no significant difference was observed in the distribution of the CC16*A or *G alleles in the asthmatics vs. non-asthmatics.Conclusion CC16 polymorphism A38G does not influence the predisposition to asthma in this sample.

    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.
