    Notes: Abstract The etiology of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is usually explained as a combination of peripheral insulin resistance and impaired beta-cell function. Phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK1) is a rate limiting enzyme in glycolysis, and its muscle subtype (PFK1-M) deficiency leads to an autosomal recessively inherited disorder known as glycogenosis type VII or Tarui’s disease. It was evaluated whether PFK1-M deficiency leads to NIDDM in humans. A core family of four was evaluated for PFK1-M deficiency by DNA- and enzyme-activity-analyses. All members underwent oral and intravenous glucose tolerance test (oGTT/ivgtt), as well as an insulin sensitivity test (IST) using octreotide. Results: Father (46 years, BMI 22.4 kg/m2) and older son (19 years, BMI 17.8 kg/m5) showed homozygous PFK1-M deficiency, while mother (47 years, BMI 28.4 kg/m5) and younger son (13 years, BMI 16.5 kg/m5) were shown to be heterozygously PFK1-M-deficient on enzyme activity levels. DNA analysis revealed an exon 5-missense-mutation at one allele of all four members, and an exon 22-frameshift-mutation at the other allele of the two homozygously affected individuals. By oGTT the father showed impaired glucose tolerance, and the mother clinical diabetes. By ivGTT both parents and the older son had a decreased first phase insulin secretion, and a diminished glucose disappearance rate. The IST showed marked insulin resistance in both parents and the older son, and moderate resistance in the younger son, previously not described. Conclusion: PFK1-M-deficiency leads to a metabolic state typical for early NIDDM in homozygously affected humans, especially concerning insulin resistance and loss of first phase beta-cell insulin secretion, and may contribute to the manifestation of NIDDM in a subgroup of patients.

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of our study was to describe the prevalence and the clinical spectrum of monosomy 22q11.2 in a population of patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect. We examined all 44 patients with this conotruncal cardiac malformation who presented to our institution from January 1994 until December 1997. The type of collateral lung perfusion was recorded including anomalies of the pulmonary arteries as well as facial and immunological abnormalities. Molecular-cytogenetic testing for a 22q11.2 microdeletion was performed using the probes D22S75 and cHKAD26. Statistical differences were evaluated with the Fisher's Exact Test. Monosomy 22q11.2 was present in ten children (23%) with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (group 1). The remaining 13 children (29%) with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (group 2) and all 21 children (48%) with ductus arteriosus (group 3) were negative for this microdeletion. All children in group 1 had facial anomalies, six had mild immunological abnormalities including decreased CD 4+ or CD 8+ cells. Anomalies of the pulmonary vascular bed were significantly more frequent in children of group 1 (9/10) than in children of group 2 (4/13) or group 3 (0/21). Due to these pulmonary vascular anomalies, corrective surgery had been accomplished in fewer children with monosomy 22q11.2 (none in group 1) as compared to 7/13 children in group 2 and 14/21 children in group 3. Conclusion In children with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect, monosomy 22q11.2 is preferentially associated with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. Due to the higher incidence of pulmonary arterial abnormalities, successful surgical repair will require a different therapeutic approach in most patients with this microdeletion.

    Notes: Abstract The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe provides a simple eukaryotic model for the study of cytokinesis. S. pombe cells are rod-shaped, grow mainly by elongation at their tips, and divide by binary fission after forming a centrally placed division septum. Analysis of mutants has begun to shed light upon how septum formation and cytokinesis are regulated both spatially and temporally. Some of the proteins involved in these events have been functionally conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution, suggesting that aspects of this control will be common to all eukaryotic cells.

    Notes: Abstract The last two decades have seen clinical and molecular delineation of the different forms of neurofibromatosis. Differentiation of these forms is not just an academic exercise: their natural history, management and genetic counselling are quite different. Of the numerical classifications of neurofibromatosis proposed in the past, only neurofibromatosis type 1 (Nf1) and neurofibromatosis type 2 (Nf2) are now well delineated clinically and have been shown to be distinct at the molecular level. For both forms of neurofibromatosis, patients with clinical generalised disease have been demonstrated to be mosaic at the molecular level, and features of segmental or mosaic Nf1 and Nf2 have been delineated. Other reported forms of neurofibromatosis are rarer; they include Watson syndrome, hereditary spinal neurofibromatosis, familial intestinal neurofibromatosis, autosomal dominant café-au-lait spots alone, autosomal dominant neurofibromas alone, and schwannomatosis, the latter believed to be a variant of Nf2. Further delineation is neeeded for individuals having overlapping features of Noonan's syndrome and neurofibromatosis (the so-called Noonan/neurofibromatosis syndrome) and the syndrome of “multiple naevi, multiple schwannomas and multiple vaginal leiomyomas”. In this article we review the forms of neurofibromatosis which we believe are true clinical entities. Particular attention is given to the neurological manifestations of neurofibromatosis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A multifactorial etiology underlies the majority of cases of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Both ill-defined environmental and genetic factors contribute to the development of the disease. Allele ɛ4 of ApoE is a genetic risk factor. Its presence increases the risk of developing AD. However, presence of e4 is neither necessary nor sufficient for the disease to arise. Apart from the common multifactorial forms of the disease, there are rare variants which are inherited as Mendelian traits. To date three genes are known that can be mutated in these rare forms of AD. Of these, mutations in the gene presenilin 1 on chromosome 14 are most frequent. In addition, mutations in the gene presenilin 2 on chromosome 1 and in the amyloid precursor protein gene (APP on chromosome 21) occur in autosomal dominant AD. This article reviews our present knowledge of the genetics of AD and discusses its relevance for patients with AD and their relatives.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Der Großteil der Fälle von Alzheimer-Krankheit (AK) hat eine multifaktorielle Ätiologie. Das bedeutet, bisher nicht genauer bekannte Umwelteinflüsse und genetische Faktoren spielen bei der Entwicklung der Krankheit eine wesentliche Rolle. Von seiten der Genetik unterscheidet man bei der AK gegenwärtig genetische Risikofaktroren und Mutationen. Der einzige bisher gesicherte genetische Risikofaktor ist das Allel ɛ4 des Gens für Apolipoprotein E auf Chromosom 19. Dieses Allel erhöht die Wahrscheinlichkeit, an der AK zu erkranken, ist jedoch weder eine notwendige noch eine hinreichende Bedingung. Neben den häufigen Formen mit multifaktorieller Ätiologie kommen seltene Varianten der Krankheit vor, die nach Mendelschen Regeln vererbt werden. Bisher sind 3 Gene bekannt, die bei diesen seltenen, in der Regel früh auftretenden und autosomal dominant vererbten Formen mutiert sein können. Am häufigsten findet sich bei den autosomal-dominanten Fällen eine Mutation im Gen präsenilin 1 auf Chromosom 14, seltener liegen Mutationen im Gen präsenilin 2 auf Chromosom 1 und im Gen des Amyloid- Vorläuferproteins auf Chromosom 21 vor. In diesem Beitrag geben wir eine Übersicht über gegenwärtige Befunde zur Genetik der AK und diskutieren die Bedeutung dieses Wissens für Patienten und deren Verwandte.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Schizophrenia is a genetic complex disease as it does not follow monogenic transmission while non-familial environmental factors have a strong additional impact. A heterogenous, continuous phenotype is transmitted in families which can now be more precisely characterized. Genes coding for proteins with presumed pathophysiological relevance are apparently not playing a major causal role. However, in the last three years several (currently seven) candidate regions have been identified in a replicable manner by linkage studies. These regions are likely to host susceptibility genes for schizophrenia, but none of them has been identified up to now. Given these findings, polygenic transmission has now become very likely. The candidate regions are currently being narrowed down by various promising techniques.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Schizophrenie gehört zu den genetisch komplexen Erkrankungen, die keinem monogenen Erbgang folgen und bei denen auch nichtfamiliäre Umgebungsfaktoren eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Dabei wird intrafamiliär ein heterogener, quantitativ variierender Phänotyp übertragen, der zunehmend genauer charakterisiert werden kann. Keines der bekannten Gene mit vermuteter pathophysiologischer Relevanz spielt nach den bisherigen Erkenntnissen eine substantielle Rolle. In den vergangenen drei Jahren ist es aber erstmals durch Kopplungsuntersuchungen gelungen, mehrere replizierbare Kandidatenregionen (derzeit sieben) auf dem Genom zu identifizieren, in denen vermutlich Suszeptibilitätsgene für Schizophrenie liegen. Keines dieser Gene wurde jedoch bislang identifiziert. Mit diesen Befunden ist eine polygene Übertragung der Schizophrenie sehr wahrscheinlich geworden. Verschiedene Techniken zur Eingrenzung der Kandidatenregionen werden derzeit erfolgreich angewandt.

    Notes: Abstract Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are complex disorders. While the exact etiology of these diseases remains unknown, recent progress in the epidemiology and genetics of IBD has clearly demonstrated both environmental and genetic factors to play a role in the development of the disease, and it is expected that some risk factors are common for both Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The environmental factor(s) are associated with the Western way of life in the second half of the twentieth century. Cigarette smoking is presently the best known environmental factor. However, the effect of tobacco is opposite in CD and UC. A familial history of IBD is the most important risk factor for developing the disease, suggesting a genetic predisposition to IBD. This hypothesis has recently been confirmed by the localization of at least two susceptibility loci on chromosomes 12 and 16. These genes seem to play a role in both CD and UC. They must now to be identified.

    Notes: ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. A complex genetic etiology is thought to underlie susceptibility to this disease. The present study was designed to analyze whether differences in genes that encode myelin proteins influence susceptibility to MS. We performed linkage analysis of MS to markers in chromosomal regions that include the genes encoding myelin basic protein (MBP), proteolipid protein (PLP), myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein (OMGP), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) in a well-characterized population of 65 multiplex MS families consisting of 399 total individuals, 169 affected with MS and 102 affected sibpairs. Physical mapping data permitted placement of MAG and PLP genes on the Genethon genetic map; all other genes were mapped on the Genethon genetic map by linkage analysis. For each gene, at least one marker within the gene and/or two tightly linked flanking markers were analyzed. Marker data analysis employed a combination of genetic trait model-dependent (parametric) and model-independent linkage methods. Results indicate that MAG, MBP, OMGP, and PLP genes do not have a significant genetic effect on susceptibility to MS in this population. As MOG resides within the MHC, a potential role of the MOG gene could not be excluded.

    Notes: Abstract The human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Tax is a phosphoprotein, however, the contribution of phosphorylation to Tax activity is unknown. Previous studies have shown that phosphorylation of Tax occurs on serine residue(s), within one tryptic fragment, in response to 4β-phorbol-12β-myristate-13α-acetate, in both mouse and human cells. Studies were conducted in multiple cell lines to identify the specific phosphorylated serines as a prelude to functional analysis. The phosphorylation pattern of Tax was found to be different in 293T and COS-7 cells in comparison with MT-4 and Px-1 cells. However, one tryptic fragment remained consistent in comigration analyses among all cell lines. Using selected Tax serine mutants a tryptic fragment containing a serine at residue 113 believed to be the site of phosphorylation of Tax did not comigrate with the common phosphorylated tryptic fragment. Analysis of selected Tax mutants for ability totrans-activate the cytomegalovirus promoter demonstrated mutation of serine 77 to alanine reducedtrans-activation by 90% compared to wild-type Tax. However, examination of the phosphorylation pattern of the serine 77 mutant demonstrated that it is not the site of phosphorylation. These studies demonstrate the importance of using relevant cell lines to characterize the role of phosphorylation in protein function.

    Notes: Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurological disorder characterised by degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. Whilst the primary pathogenic trigger is unknown in most cases, evidence is mounting to implicate a role for glutamate-mediated neurotoxicity in the disorder. Recent studies have shown reduced levels of the mainly astroglial glutamate transporter EAAT2 in ALS motor cortex and spinal cord and multiple abnormal EAAT2 mRNA species in ALS brain tissue. One cause of the low EAAT2 levels may be that point mutations in the EAAT2 gene, EAAT2, result in an abnormal unstable protein. To test this hypothesis we analysed EAAT2 in 128 sporadic and 23 familial European ALS cases. No variants within the coding sequence of EAAT2 to affect the protein sequence nor in the consensus splice sites of the flanking intronic sequences were found in any cases, similar to findings in other reports. Frequent polymorphisms within the flanking intronic sequences of both exons 2 and 4 were seen but at similar frequencies in controls. Mechanisms other than mutations within the coding region of EAAT2 must therefore be responsible for the low levels of EAAT2 seen in most cases of ALS.

    Notes: Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has a significant genetic background manifested as autosomal dominant inheritance in some early-onset families and as familial risk in late-onset cases. Three genes responsible for early-onset autosomal dominant AD have been identified, and one gene, apolipoprotein E, has been confirmed as a susceptibility gene for late-onset forms of the disorder. These findings raise the possibility of genetic testing, either for early diagnosis or prediction. For early-onset autosomal dominant AD genetic testing will have a limited but useful role in confirming diagnosis in established cases and in predictive counselling for relatives; a situation analogous to that for Huntington’s disease. For late-onset AD significant problems remain to be overcome before the advances in molecular genetics have a direct clinical application

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most important and a very heterogeneous group of malignant soft tissue tumors of childhood and adolescence.The two major subtypes (embryonal and alveolar) share a common myogenic differentiation, but seem to be histogenetically not related. The so-called ’International Classification of Rhabdomyosarcoma’ includes, besides the two major subtypes, the botryoid and leiomyomatous subtypes of embryonal RMS which are associated with a better prognosis and are treated less aggressively according to current protocols. In addition, the solid variant of alveolar RMS is included in the alveolar group of RMS. The identification of the various subtypes is necessary and important because the treatment with the current protocols is also related to histology. Using conventional stains and immunohistochemistry, these subtypes are distinguishable. Genetic analysis can be helpful in the demonstration of t(2;13) or t(1;13) translocations in alveolar RMS. The identification of alveolar RMS with t(1;13) translocation might become important in the future, because this type of translocation seems to be related to a better prognosis as compared to tumors with a t(2;13) translocation.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Rhabdomyosarkome stellen eine heterogene Gruppe von ganz verschiedenartigen, histogenetisch wohl nicht zusammengehörenden Tumoren dar. Nach der heute verwendeten „Internationalen Klassifikation” der Rhabdomyosarkome werden neben der Unterteilung in embryonalen und alveoläre Rhabdomyossarkome auch Subtypen des embryonalen RMS identifiziert (botryoider und leiomyomatöser Subtyp), die durch eine günstigere Prognose und durch die Notwendigkeit einer weniger aggressive Therapie gekennzeichnet sind. Durch Einsatz von verschiedenen histologischen und immunhistochemischen Färbungen ist die Identifizierung der verschiedenen Typen der RMS heute möglich und auch zwingend notwendig, da die einzelnen Entitäten nach ganz unterschiedlichen Therapieprotokollen behandelt werden. Der Nachweis typischer molekulargenetischer Veränderungen kann in der Unterscheidung insbesondere von embryonalen und alveolären RMS hilfreich sein. In der Regel ist die Abgrenzung zwischen diesen beiden Entitäten auch an konventionell gefärbten Schnittpräparaten möglich. Die Identifizierung von alveolären RMS mit einer t(1;13)-Translokation könnte in Zukunft eine große Bedeutung haben, da diese genetische Veränderung möglicherweise mit einer günstigeren Prognose assoziert sein könnte als die t(2;13)-Translokation.

    Notes: Abstract  The genetic studies of syndromic craniosynostoses lead to the characterisation of genes that regulate the correct development of the bones of the skull. From these studies, it appears that FGF/FGFR signalling has a crucial role in this problem. Numerous mutations affecting the genes coding for FGFR1, 2 or 3 are responsible for these syndromes. It is interesting to note that some identical mutations produced various different phenotypes, suggesting that other genes modulate the phenotypic expressivity. The other involved genes in these syndromes code for such proteins as Msx2 or Twist that interact in the cellular pathways responsible for FGF action. From these genetic studies, it is now important to establish the role of these proteins during the development of the skull. Msx2 plays a repressive role in osteogenesis, whereas FGFRs act as promoting proteins. In the near future, it will be very important to improve our understanding of these phenomena in order to test specific treatments to prevent the development of such syndromes.

    Notes: Abstract  We report the sequences of 17 primer pairs of microsatellite loci, which we have cloned and sequenced from two genomic libraries of peach [Prunus persica (L) Batsch] ‘Redhaven’, enriched for AC/GT and AG/CT repeats respectively. For ten of these microsatellite loci we were able to demonstrate Mendelian inheritance in a segregating back-cross population; the remainder did not segregate. The polymorphism of the microsatellites was evaluated in a panel of ten peach genotypes, including true-to-type peaches, nectarines and one canning-peach. Fifteen microsatellites (88%) were polymorphic showing 2–4 alleles each. The mean heterozygosity, averaged over all loci, was 0.32 and significantly higher than that reported in the literature for isozymes and molecular markers, such as RFLPs and RAPDs. We have also assayed the cross-species transportability and found that ten microsatellite (59%) gave apparently correct amplification in all Prunus species surveyed, namely P. domestica (European plum), P. salicina (Japanese plum), P. armeniaca (apricot), P. dulcis (almond), P. persica var. vulgaris (peach), P. persica var. laevis (nectarine), P. avium (sweet cherry) and P. cerasus (sour cherry), with three of them also being amplified in Malus (apple). The remaining microsatellites gave less-extensive amplification. Because of their appreciable polymorphism and wide cross-species transportability, most of these new markers can be integrated into the linkage maps which are currently being constructed in peach, as well as in other stone fruit crops, such as almond, apricot, cherry and plum.

    Notes: Abstract  The self-incompatibility in yellow passion fruit was previously described as homomorphic sporophytic with monofactorial inheritance. Five progenies were obtained by bud-selfing. The plants of these progenies were selfed, reciprocally crossed within each progeny and crossed with known incompatible phenotypes to identify their phenotypic group. Fruit set was evaluated at the 7th day after pollination. Two progenies consisted of two self-incompatible groups, the other three formed three suck groups. The groups were identified as S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6. The results provide evidence that the self-incompatibility of passion fruit is controlled by two loci, the S-gene and another, whose expression needs to be investigated.

    Notes: Abstract  Six almond progenies, each the product of a cross between a self-compatible and a self-incompatible parent, were analysed for stylar ribonucleases. Proteins were extracted and separated using non-equilibrium pH gradient electrofocusing (NEPHGE), and the gels were stained for ribonuclease activity. Most seedlings showed either two principal bands, interpreted as corresponding to two incompatibility alleles, or a single band. The seedlings were also bagged in the field at flowering time to determine fruit set after selfing, and some were also examined for the growth of pollen-tubes in selfed styles using UV fluorescence microscopy. With very few exceptions, those seedlings showing single-banded zymograms were found to be self-compatible according to field and microscope studies, and those with two bands were found to be self-incompatible. We conclude that the allele for self-compatibility in almond does not code for ribonuclease activity and that the ribonuclease isoenzyme assay is a convenient technique for predicting self-compatibility in segregating progenies. A novel band in two derivatives of ’Ferrastar’ was ascribed to a new incompatibility allele, S 10 .

    Notes: Abstract Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gene defects may play a role in the development of maternally inherited diabetes mellitus and deafness (MIDD). A family from Southern Italy who showed maternal transmission of type 2 diabetes mellitus with three individuals affected is described. A 10.4 kb deletion and mutations at nucleotide positions (np) 3243, 7445 and 11778 in the mtDNA of six relatives were sought. The mitochondrial np 3243 mutation of the tRNA Leu (UUR) gene was identified in a boy affected by optic atrophy and mental retardation, as well as in his diabetic mother. No other mutations or deletions were found. Our study points out the variable phenotypic expression of the np 3243 mtDNA mutation. This may suggest the presence of other mitochondrial or nuclear mutations required to modulate the phenotype. A clinical and metabolic follow-up of all family members was necessary to understand the role of the np 3243 mutation, especially in one child affected by optic atrophy and mental retardation. Further studies will be aimed at investigating the prevalence of mutations and deletions of mtDNA in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

    Notes: Abstract Recently intronic and exonic mutations in the Tau gene have been found to be associated with familial neurodegenerative syndromes characterized not only by a predominantly frontotemporal dementia but also by the presence of neurological signs consistent with the dysfunction of multiple subcortical neuronal circuitries. Among families, the symptomatology appears to vary in quality and severity in relation to the specific Tau gene mutation and often may include parkinsonism, supranuclear palsies, and/or myoclonus, in addition to dementia. We carried out molecular genetic and neuropathological studies on two patients from a French family presenting, early in their fifth decade, a cognitive impairment and supranuclear palsy followed by an akinetic rigid syndrome and dementia. The proband died severely demented 7 years after the onset of the symptoms; currently, his brother is still alive although his disease is progressing. In both patients, we found a Tau gene mutation in exon 10 at codon 279, resulting in an asparagine to lysine substitution (N279K). Neuropathologically, widespread neuronal and glial tau accumulation in the cortex, basal ganglia, brain stem nuclei as well as in the white matter were the hallmark of the disease. These deposits were shown by immunohistochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy, using a battery of antibodies to phosphorylation-dependent and phosphorylation-independent epitopes present in multiple tau regions. In the neocortex, tau-immunopositive glial cells were more numerous than immunopositive neurons; the deeper cortical layers as well as the white matter adjacent to the cortex contained the largest amount of immunolabeled glial cells. In contrast, some brain stem nuclei contained more neurons with tau deposits than immunolabeled glial cells. The correlation of clinical, neuropathological and molecular genetic findings emphasize the phenotypic heterogeneitiy of diseases caused by Tau gene mutations. Furthermore, to test the effect of the N279K mutation and compare it with the effect of the P301L exon 10 mutation on alternative splicing of Tau exon 10, we used an exon amplification assay. Our results suggest that the N279K mutation affects splicing similar to the intronic mutations, allowing exon 10 to be incorporated more frequently in the Tau transcript.

    Notes: Abstract  Acute leukemia is more common in males at almost every age, and this fact remains unexplained. A study was carried out in northeast peninsular Malaysia, where the population is predominantly Malay, to examine whether there was a difference in ABO blood group distribution between males and females with acute leukemia (AL). The ABO blood groups of 109 male and 79 female patients with AL (98 ALL, 90 AML) were compared with those of 1019 controls. In the control population, 39.7% were group O. Among males with AL, 39.4% were group O, whereas among females with AL, the proportion was 24.1% (p=0.03). The same trend to a lower proportion of group O among females was seen if the group was divided into adult/pediatric or lymphoblastic/myeloblastic groups, though these differences were not statistically significant. If these findings can be confirmed, they suggest the presence of a "sex-responsive" gene near to the ABO gene locus on chromosome 9, which relatively protects group O women against AL, at least in our population. The existence of such a gene might also partly explain why acute leukemia, and possibly other childhood cancers, are more common in males.

    Notes: Abstract  A fundamental requirement of task regulation in social groups is that it must allow colony flexibility. We tested assumptions of three task regulation models for how honeybee colonies respond to graded changes in need for a specific task, pollen foraging. We gradually changed colony pollen stores and measured behavioral and genotypic changes in the foraging population. Colonies did not respond in a graded manner, but in six of seven cases showed a stepwise change in foraging activity as pollen storage levels moved beyond a set point. Changes in colony performance resulted from changes in recruitment of new foragers to pollen collection, rather than from changes in individual foraging effort. Where we were able to track genotypic variation, increases in pollen foraging were accompanied by a corresponding increase in the genotypic diversity of pollen foragers. Our data support previous findings that genotypic variation plays an important role in task regulation. However, the stepwise change in colony behavior suggests that colony foraging flexibility is best explained by an integrated model incorporating genotypic variation in task choice, but in which colony response is amplified by social interactions.

    Notes: Abstract To quantify the risk of febrile seizures (FS) in relatives of children with FS and to predict the risk of FS in siblings, we calculated cumulative risks of FS in first degree relatives of 129 children with FS. The study was conducted as a prospective follow up study of FS recurrences at the outpatient clinic of the Sophia Children's Hospital in Rotterdam. Thirteen parents and 12 siblings had experienced FS, accounting for a 6-year cumulative risk of 7%. The risk of FS was increased in relatives of children with recurrent FS (12%). The risk of FS in siblings (10%) in our study was more than twice the average risk in a similar population (4%). A positive FS history in a parent, young age at onset in the proband, and recurrences in the proband were selected in a multivariable prediction model. If two or more of these risk factors were present, the risk of West European siblings to develop FS was 46% (hazard ratio 5.4). Conclusion The cumulative risk of FS in siblings of children with FS is increased. The age attained risk of FS can be estimated using a practical model incorporating three readily available risk factors.

    Notes: Abstract Honey bee foragers were tested for their proboscis extension response (PER) to water and varying solutions of sucrose. Returning pollen and nectar foragers were collected at the entrance of a colony and were assayed in the laboratory. Pollen foragers had a significantly higher probability of responding to water and to lower concentrations of sucrose. Bees derived from artificially selected high- and low-pollen-hoarding strains were also tested using the proboscis extension assay. Returning foragers were captured and tested for PERs to 30% sucrose. Results demonstrated a genotypic effect on PERs of returning foragers. The PERs of departing high- and low-strain foragers were consistent with those of returning foragers. The PERs were related to nectar and water reward perception of foragers. High strain bees were more likely to return with loads of water and lower concentrations of sucrose than foragers from the low pollen strain. Low-strain bees were more likely to return empty. We identified a previously mapped genomic region that contains a variable quantitative trait locus that appears to influence sucrose response thresholds. These studies demonstrate a gene-brain-behavior pathway that can be altered as a consequence of colony-level selection for quantities of stored food.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Le ceroido lipofuscinosi neuronali (NCL) sono tra le encefalopatie progressive più freguenti nell'infanzia ed interessano, seppure più raramente, l'adulto. Clinicamente sono caratterizzate da demenza, deficit visivo, epilessia e disturbi motori. Gli aspetti patologici specifici sono rappresentati da degenerazione neuronale ed accumulo lisosomiale di lipopigmento in differenti tipi cellulari. Il difetto biochimico della malattia non e noto. La classificazione delle NCL, basata su criteri clinici, distingue sei forme classiche ed altre forme atipiche. L'elettrofisiologia e la neuroradiologia sono di importante ausilio diagnostico, ma la diagnosi si fonda sull'identificazione dell'accumulo di lipopigmento the presenta pattern ultrastrutturali specifici. Differenti difetti genetici sono stati dimostrati in diverse forme cliniche, ma il meccanismo patogenetico molecolare rimane ancora da chiarire.
    Notes: Abstract Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are among the most common neurodegenerative diseases in childhood but rarely present in adulthood. The main symptoms are psychomotor deterioration, visual failure, epilepsy and motor disturbances. The NCLs are morphologically characterized by the accumulation of lipopigments within numerous cell types and loss of neurons. Pathogenesis is unknown. The current clinical classification recognizes six classic types of NCL and several atypical forms. Electrophysiological and neuroradiological findings may be of diagnostic significance, but disease recognition rests on the demonstration of a typical ultrastructural pattern. Genetic studies have demonstrated that several different genetic loci are involved in the pathogenesis of NCL, but the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal death and lipopigment accumulation are not understood.

    Notes: ABSTRACT Despite several lines of evidence indicating a strong genetic influence in the etiology of idiopathic epilepsies, progress in the mapping and identification of human epilepsy genes has been limited until recently. In addition to the localisation and/or isolation of several genes causing progressive epilepsies associated with cerebral degeneration, at least seven human genomic regions (6p, 8q, 10q, 15q, 16p, 19q, 20q) are now known to harbour genes implicated in idiopathic epilepsies. In the case of nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy, mutations in a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit gene have been identified. Systematic studies of rare epileptic disorders inherited as monogenic Mendelian traits, as well as studies on more complex polygenic idiopathic epilepsies, are still needed in order to identify all the epilepsy genes. This will allow better diagnosis and genetic counseling in families of affected individuals, a better understanding of both the pathophysiology of epilepsies and normal brain functioning, and the design of new pharmacological and genetic therapies.

    Notes: ABSTRACT We compared the parental age at birth of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) with that of cognitively healthy control subjects. Within 206 carefully diagnosed AD patients, two groups were distinguished according to the likelihood of carrying a major gene for AD (MGAD). This likelihood was calculated by applying a Bayesian approach which incorporates data on aggregation of the disease, age at onset, and "censoring" ages within the family. All AD patients were ranked by MGAD probability. According to the sample's quartiles, two subgroups were defined representing the 52 individuals with the lowest and the 52 with the highest MGAD probability. Age at onset of dementia, education, and apolipoprotein E ε  4 allele frequencies were not statistically different between the two groups. Fathers of patients with a low MGAD probability were significantly older (35.7±8.1 years) than fathers of both other groups (high MGAD probability 31.3±6.9 years, P =0.004; controls 32.6±6.8 years, P =0.04, n=50). The differences for mothers were less pronounced and not statistically significant. These findings suggest that increased paternal age is a risk factor for AD in the absence of a major gene, whereas increased maternal age and AD are associated only weakly and independently of genetic disposition.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The determination of the genetic background of sexual development has not only assisted in the explanation of intersex disorders, but also in the diagnosis and clinical management of affected individuals. The possibilities and limitations of molecular genetic studies can be illustrated by the example of androgen insensitivity syndromes. The search for the underlying mutations within the androgen receptor gene is technically possible even for large numbers of patients. The characterization of mutations can be performed with high specificity and sensitivity. While large gene defects are associated with complete loss of function of the receptor, point mutations with subsequent amino acid changes are responsible for the phenotypic variability of the disease. Type and location of the amino acid substitution may influence the clinical appearance of the individual patient, but the phenotype can be highly variable even with the same underlying mutation. This is probably due to regulation mechanisms within the cell of which the androgen receptor is only one, although important, part. Therefore, results of molecular genetic testing have to be interpreted only in connection with clinical and laboratory findings. Further research will focus on the elucidation of the cellular mechanisms of androgen action in order to introduce the results into the clinical management of patients with androgen insensitivity.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Aufdeckung der genetischen Grundlagen von Störungen der Geschlechtsentwicklung hat neue Möglichkeiten nicht nur in der Erklärung dieser Erkrankungen, sondern auch für die Diagnostik und den klinischen Umgang mit betroffenen Individuen eröffnet. Am Beispiel der Androgenresistenz können die Erfolge, aber auch die Grenzen molekulargenetischer Untersuchungen aufgezeigt werden. Die Suche nach den zugrundeliegenden genetischen Veränderungen im Androgenrezeptorgen ist heute technisch auch zur Analyse größerer Patientenzahlen anwendbar. Der Nachweis von Mutationen kann mit hoher Sensitivität und Spezifität in großen Genabschnitten durchgeführt werden. Während größere Gendefekte mit einem völligen Funktionsverlust des Rezeptors einhergehen, sind Punktmutationen, die zu Veränderungen der Aminosäuresequenz führen, für das große phänotypische Spektrum der Androgenresistenz verantwortlich. Zwar wird das klinische Erscheinungsbild durch Art und Ort der Aminosäuresubstitution mitbestimmt, dennoch kann der Phänotyp auch bei gleicher Mutation sehr variabel sein. Dies ist mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit auf zelluläre Regulationsmechanismen zurückzuführen, in deren Wirkungskette der Androgenrezeptor nur ein Glied, wenn auch ein wichtiges, darstellt. Daher müssen molekulargenetische Befunde immer in Zusammenhang mit den anamnestischen, klinischen und laborchemischen Parametern gesehen werden. Ziel wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen ist es, die zellulären Mechanismen der Androgenwirkung weiter aufzuklären, um diese Erkenntnisse dann möglicherweise in die therapeutischen Entscheidungen bei Patienten mit Androgenresistenz einfließen zu lassen.

    Notes: Abstract  Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare inherited disorder which usually becomes clinically manifest in early childhood, although the spectrum of ARPKD is much more variable than generally known. Presentation of ARPKD at later ages and survival into adulthood have been observed in many cases. The responsible gene has been mapped to chromosome 6p. Thus there is no evidence of genetic heterogeneity. The most important indication for DNA diagnosis is the prenatal diagnosis in families with at least one affected child. The critical region has been narrowed with the use of recombinant families of about 4 cM. Several possible candidate genes have been excluded.

    Notes: Abstract  The processes of megasporogenesis and early megagametogenesis were cytologically investigated in Cupressus sempervirens L. in order to elucidate, at the cellular level, the origin of the megagametophyte. After pollination, sporogenous tissue developed in the chalazal region of the nucellus, but only one megaspore mother cell differentiated and divided meiotically without cell-wall formation. This led to the development of a cell with four nuclei which directly functioned as a megaspore. The C. sempervirens megagametophyte is thus tetrasporic, in contrast to the majority of conifers where the megagametophyte is monosporic. The consequenses of this observation are discussed from a genetics point of view.

    Notes: Abstract  We have isolated and sequenced 263 microsatellite-containing clones from two small insert libraries of Actinidia chinensis enriched for (AC/GT) and (AG/CT) repeats, respectively. Primer pairs were designed for 203 microsatellite loci and successfully amplified from both plasmid and A. chinensis genomic DNA. In this paper we report the sequences of 40 primer pairs for which we have demonstrated Mendelian segregation in the progeny from controlled crosses. The polymorphism of ten microsatellites of each type was evaluated in four diploid and six tetraploid genotypes of A. chinensis. All microsatellites proved to be polymorphic, the number of alleles per locus detected in polyacrylamide sequencing gels ranging from 9 to 17. The high degree of polymorphism in Actinidia renders these markers useful either for mapping in A. chinensis or for fingerprinting cultivars of both domesticated kiwifruit species (A. chinensis and A. deliciosa). While most primer pairs produced single amplification products, about 20% generated banding patterns consistent with the amplification of two different loci. This supports the hypothesis that diploid species of Actinidia (2n=2x=58) are polyploid in origin with a basic chromosome number x=14/15 and that chromosome duplication may have occurred during the evolution of the genus. Finally, we have assayed the cross-species transportability of primer pairs designed from A. chinensis sequences and have found extensive cross-species amplification within the genus Actinidia; 75% of primer pairs gave successful amplification in the eight species assayed (A. arguta, A. rufa, A. polygama, A. chrysantha, A. callosa, A. hemsleyana, A. eriantha, and A. deliciosa), which are representative of the four sections into which the genus is currently split.

    Notes: Abstract  The large size and the long generation time of fruit trees generally reduce the possibilities of obtaining genetic information on the transmission and heritability of useful agronomic traits in these species. However, from breeding work carried out with fruit trees, an important amount of data is now available, although large differences are apparent among the different species. There is not much information known about almond compared to what is available on other Prunus fruit species, but more data have been accumulated on it than on most of the other nut trees, thus making almond special among all the temperate fruit and nut species. Only five qualitative traits have been described in almond, with an additional two also possibly qualitative. Heritabilities have been estimated for an important number of quantitative traits, mainly phenological times and fruit characters. Important information is available on molecular markers, including enzymes, RFLPs, RAPDs and other recently developed markers. Linkages, however, have only been established among molecular markers, allowing accurate genetic maps to be built but not yet enabling agronomical characters to be located in these maps, probably because the latter have not been sufficiently studied. The effectiveness of the application of genetic maps in plant breeding will depend on the accuracy of the study of different agronomic traits and their expression, implying more field work and recognition of this work. Ultimately, any new fruit cultivar has to be grown in the field and has to allow the grower to make a profit.

    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.

    Notes: Abstract Several crossing studies with diabetic BB rats have shown that in addition to the lymphopenia (Iddm1) and the MHC class II genes of the RT1u haplotype (Iddm2) there are further non-MHC genes essential for diabetes development. Because diabetes-resistant inbred rat strains may be homozygous for one of the diabetogenic non-MHC genes, masking the expression of diabetogenic genes and leading to an underestimation of the number of diabetogenic genes, we crossed wild and diabetic BB/OK rats. The F1 hybrids were backcrossed onto diabetic female (BC1W-F, n=97) and male BB/OK rats (BC1W-M, n=98) transferred to a specified-pathogen-free environment and studied for the frequency and age at onset of diabetes up to an age of 30 weeks. Comparing the results of these BC1 W hybrids with similarly derived hybrids using diabetes-resistant DA rats (BC1DA-F, n=113; BC1DA-M, n=216), the diabetes frequency in total was comparable indicating the action of three recessive genes. The percentage of diabetics in Iddm1 and Iddm2 homozygotes confirmed the existence of the third gene, Iddm3, but there were some sex differences; significantly more male than female BC1W-F and significantly more BC1DA-M than BC1DA-F males were diabetic. Regarding the age at onset, the BC1W-F hybrids manifested not only significantly earlier, but also more uniformly than BC1DA-F and BC1-M hybrids.

    Notes: Abstract Non-pustular psoriasis consists of two disease subtypes, type I and type II, which demonstrate distinct characteristics. Firstly the disease presents in different decades of life, in type I before the age of 40 years and later in type II. Secondly, contrasting frequencies of HLA alleles are found: type I patients express predominantly HLA-Cw6, -B57, and -DR7, whereas in type II patients HLA-Cw2 is overrepresented. Finally, familial inheritance is found in type I but not in type II psoriasis. The study of concomitant diseases in psoriasis contributes to deciphering the distinct patterns of the disease. Defence against invading microorganisms seems better developed in psoriatics than in controls. This evolutionary benefit may have caused the overall high incidence of psoriasis of 2%. Psoriasis is a multifactorial and heterogenetically inherited disease. The heterogeneity is evident by the diversity of genetically linked markers. The multifactorial component results from the observation of external trigger mechanisms, such as the Koebner phenomenon, stress and the intake of certain drugs. Twin studies have shown that environmental factors contribute to the onset of the disease. In type I psoriasis, special extended haplotypes such as EH57.1 (HLA-Cw6-B57-DRB1*0701-DQA1*0201-DQBl*0303) and EH65.1 (HLA-Cw8-B65-DRB1*0102-DQB1*0501) have been found to be increased. The application of microsatellite techniques has identified distinct positions on several chromosomes at which putative psoriasis genes may be located. Disease susceptibility genes are thought to be present on chromosomes 4q, 6p, 16q, 17q and 20p. Moreover, on chromosome 1q, genes regulating epidermal differentiation have been identified. Linkage to this area has been proposed. Furthermore, psoriasis gene loci on chromosomes 2, 8 and 20 have been suggested.

    Notes: Abstract We first recall the observational and theoretical facts that constitute the so-called 3He problem. We then review the chemical anomalies that could be related to the destruction of 3He in red giants stars. We show how a simple consistent mechanism can lead to the destruction of 3He in low mass stars and simultaneously account for the low 12C/13C ratios and low lithium abundances observed in giant stars of different populations. This process should both naturally account for the recent measurements of 3He/H in galactic HII regions and allow for high values of 3He observed in some planetary nebulae. We propose a simple statistical estimation of the fraction of stars that may be affected by this process.

    Notes: Abstract Non-spin glasses possess a number of specific features which, in structural and dynamic aspects, are close to conditions necessary for neural networks to function. In a disordered network there exists a plurality of structural parameters and a number of two-level states defined by double-well potentials. Their characteristics are specified by the conditions of glass formation, i.e. by genesis. The thermodynamic description of glass as a self-organizing system (that does not require introducing an interacting potential model) leads to an unambiguous conclusion that its frequency spectrum is predetermined by the structure, which is characterized by zero-point entropy. Glass is a natural system of oscillators which form a disordered network. In this sense, glass conforms to a known model of a disordered neural network formed by interconnected oscillators. If one assumes that in living organisms the structure of a neural network (the brain) is inherited according to a genetic mechanism, the quickness of learning and recognition of patterns, the stability of associative memory and other capabilities have to be inherited genetically. The more ordered a neural network formed by distinguishable neurons, the better its capabilities.

    Notes: Abstract Background: The discovery of a cadre of breast cancer susceptibility genes has resulted in an increase in the number of women seeking information about prophylactic breast surgery, but virtually no large-scale prospective databases exist to assist women considering prophylactic mastectomy. Methods: The authors constructed a National Prophylactic Mastectomy Registry comprised of a volunteer population of 817 women from 43 states who have undergone prophylactic mastectomy. Results: In the registry, 370 women had undergone bilateral prophylactic mastectomy. Twenty-one (5%) women expressed regrets about the procedure. The median follow-up was 14.6 years (mean 14.8 years; range 0.2–51 years). Those with regrets were subsetted into those with major (n=10) or minor (n=7) regrets. Regrets were more common in those women with whom discussion about prophylactic mastectomy was initiated by a physician (19/255), compared with patients who initiated the discussion themselves (2/108;P〈.05). Conclusions: The overall satisfaction rate of 95% reported here may be explained by the voluntary nature of this registry. The most important factor that predicts an unfavorable outcome following bilateral prophylactic mastectomy is a physician-initiated discussion.

    Notes: Abstract The present study uses a behavioral genetic design to investigate the genetic and environmental influences on variation in adolescent body mass index (BMI) and to determine whether the relative influences of genetic and environmental factors on variation in BMI are similar across racial groups and sexes. Data for the present study come from the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent Health (Add Health), a large, nationally representative study of adolescent health and health-related behaviors. The Add Health sample contains a subset of sibling pairs that differs in levels of genetic relatedness, making it well suited for behavioral genetics analyses. The present study examines whether genetic and environmental influences on adolescent BMI are the same for males and females and for Black and White adolescents. Results indicate that genetic factors contribute substantially to individual differences in adolescent BMI, explaining between 45 and 85% of the variance in BMI. Furthermore, based on an analysis of opposite-sex sibling pairs, the genes that influence variation in adolescent BMI are similar for males and females. However, the relative importance of genetic and environmental influences on variation in BMI differs for males and females and for Blacks and Whites. Although parameter estimates could be constrained to be equal for Black and White males, they could not be constrained to be equal for Black and White females. Moreover, the best-fitting model for Black females was an ADE model, for White females it was an ACE model, and for males it was an AE model. Thus, shared environmental influences are significant for White female adolescents, but not for Black females or males. Likewise, nonadditive genetic influences are indicated for Black females, but not for White females or males. Implications of these results are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Genetic factors are likely to play a major role in the etiology of autism. The genetics of the disorder is however complex, probably involving the action of several genes. In an attempt to identify autism susceptibility loci we are currently undertaking a systematic screening of the whole human genome using multiplex families. We describe the resources and the methods needed to achieve such a task, including extensive collection of family data, semiautomated genotyping technology, and specialized statistical approaches for linkage analysis of complex traits.

    Notes: Highly Reactive Trialkylsilylation Reagents Derived from Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide - Silylation of Functional Groups, Alkines and Reactive AromaticsThe synthesis of trialylsilyl-bis(trifluormethane-sulfonyl)imides 3 is described. Compounds 3 with bulky trialkylsilyl groups 3a,b only exist in the silatautomeric form 3a′, b′ under usual conditions, 3c in the N-trimethylsilyl structure. Despite of the bulky silyl substituents in 3a′, b′ their reactivity is higher than of trimethylsilyltriflate. Alcohols, carbonyl compounds, nitroalkanes and carboxylic acid esters are silylated in good yields, especially by the more reactive triisopropylsilyl derivative 3b′ in presence of tertiary amines. tert.-Butyl carboxylates and benzylcarboxylates are cleaved. Monosubstituted alkines and electron-rich (hetero) aromatics are carbosilylated in presence of N-ethyl-diisopropylamine.

Change of the Type of the Mesophase by Variation of the Acyl Chain of Amphiphilic Tetradecyl (N-acylamino)-2-deoxy-1-thio-β-D-glucopyranosidesThe homologous amphiphilic tetradecyl-2-(N-alkanoylamino)-2-deoxy-1-thio-β-D-glucopyranosides 5a-f were synthesized from the 2-(N-alkanoylamino)-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranoses 1a-f via the glucosyl chlorides 2a-f, the glucosyl isothiuronium chlorides 3a-f, and the acetylated thioglucosides 4a-f. On heating the amphiphiles 5a-f form different types of liquid crystalline phases in dependence of the length of the acyl chain, i.e. 5a and 5b form smectic phases, 5d-f form columnar mesophases. Polarisation microscopy, DSC-measurements and contact preparations were used to characterise the liquid crystaline phases.

    Notes: A series of new 3,1′-bridged 2-[2′-(4″-dialkylaminophenyl)ethenyl]-4,6-diarylpyrylium perchlorates (3), 2-[2′-(4″-dialkylaminophenyl)ethenyl]-7-diethylamino-1-benzopyrylium perchlorates 5-8, 2-[4′-(4″-dialkylaminophenyl)butadien-1′,3″-yl]-, and 2-[2′-(7″-diethylaminocoumar-3″-yl)ethenyl]-7-diethylamino-1-benzopyrylium perchlorates 10-12 were synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis, m.p., Vis/NIR, and 1H NMR spectra. Semiempirical MO calculations were performed to elucidate the essential features of the chromophores. The size of the bridging ring strongly affects the geometry of the chromophores which, in turn, determines the extent of charge transfer of the longest wavelength electronic transition. Increasing deviation from planarity causes the polymethine-like chromophore to become more polyene-like.

    Notes: The synthesis and stereochemical characteristics of pyrrolidino-, isoquinolino- and indolo-enaminones 2-11 are reported. The inhibition of cyclooxygenase was determined in a bovine thrombocyte intact cell assay and that of 5-lipoxygenase using intact bovine polymorphonuclear leucocytes. Except compound 2c′ which is a well-balanced dual inhibitor of both enzymes, all other enaminone derivatives are weak inhibitors of both cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase. Structure-activity relationships of the enaminones in relation to known anti-inflammatory drugs are discussed.

    Notes: Copper-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylcarbene transfer from methyl or tert-butyl diazoacetate to acyclic enaminoesters 6a,b and enaminocarboxanilide 13 yields vicinal push-pullsubstituted cyclopropanes 7a,b,8, and 14. In contact with dry silica gel, the latter compounds undergo facile ring-opening leading to enaminoesters 9, 10, and 15. Treatment with aqueous acid transforms 9 and 10 into 2-acylsuccinates 11 and 12, and 15 into pyrrolinone 16. Methoxycarbonylcarbene transfer to enaminoketones 1a-c does not yield isolable cyclopropanes, but after hydrolytic work-up α-acyl-γ-ketoesters 2a-c are obtained.

    Notes: Iminium Salts in Quantitative Gas/Solid and Solid/Solid ReactionsIminium salts that are highly susceptible to hydrolysis are quantitatively prepared and reacted in the solid state without solvents or liquid phases. Atomic force microscopy AFM helps in elucidating the mechanism of these still unusual gas-solid and solid-solid syntheses by recording surface topographies of reacting crystals of L-histidine (10) and triphenylverdazyl (15). Various imines add gaseous HCl or HBr to form stable iminium halides (1, 3, 4, 5, 11) even if frozen liquids of very weak heterocyclic bases are treated at low temperatures. Another way for quantitative yields of iminium salt hydrates (6) starts with solid primary ammonium halides and gaseous acetone. o-Phenylenediamines (7) give quantitatively 1,5-benzodiazepines (9) by solid state cyclization of bis-iminium salt intermediates (8). Crystalline nitroxyls (12) and triphenylverdazyl (15) undergo stoichiometric one-electron transfer with gaseous NO2 or XeF2 to give nitrosonium (14) and azonium salts (17). The solid state chlorination of tetramethylthiuramdisulfide (18) or dimethylthiocarbamoylchloride (20) yields phosgene dimethyliminiumchloride (Viehe salt 21) in quantitative yield. Solid Viehe salt is quantitatively treated with gaseous Cl2 to give the trichloride 19 and solid SbCl5 or PCl5 to produce the hexachloroantimoniates (22), -phosphates (23). Solid brenzcatechol (24), mercaptobenzimidazole (27), p-nitroaniline (30), N-methylbenzothiazolone-2-hydrazone (34) and acetophenone (41) are treated with 21 to give the corresponding chloroiminium salts (25, 28, 31, 35, 43). p-Toluenesulfonamide (37) and 22 give the chloroiminium salt 38. These quantitative solid-solid reactions are most easily run in ball mills with cooling device. The “waste-free” techniques achieve exclusion of moisture in an elegant way. The preparative use of the versatile products with nucleophiles is indicated. The three-step solid-state mechanisms are discussed.

    Notes: 1-Substituted 3-hydroxy-1H-pyrazoles 1 react with chloroform, NaOH, and aceton resp. butan-2-one O-regiospecifically to yield 2-methyl-2-[(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)oxy]-propanoic resp. -butanoic acids 14 via a dichlorocarbene (12)-dichlorooxirane (9) pathway. Chlorides 17 of 14 easily cyclize to N-acylpyrazolium salts 18/19, which quantitatively afford esters 22-26 and amides 27-29 of 14. Enantiomers of the butanoic acid 14th, obtained via their diastereomeric cholesterol esters, differ in their stimulus to peroxisome proliferation. At 140 °C pyrazolium salts 18 undergo thermolysis to bicyclic β-oxa-γ-lactams 30-32. 3-Carboxyisoalkylamino-pyrazoles similarly give 1H-β-aza-γ-lactams 34. Reactions of 14 with surplus SOCl2 result in 6-chloro- 37 resp. 7-chloro-β-oxa-γ-lactams 38 via chlorosulfinylation and extrusion of SO, and in 4,4-bispyrazolyl-sulfoxide 39. A mild introduction of additional O-functions into pyrazoles affording 4,5-dihydro-3-hydroxy-5-oxo-1H-pyrazoles 52-57 is presented. Biological effects of the new pyrazoles are protection against shock and ADP-induced thromboembolism, reduction of serum lipids and improvement of blood flow.

    Notes: Ortho-, meta- and para-xylenes 1, 13a, 13b and 13c, with donor and acceptor substituents at the α- and α′ positions, lead to a remarkable variety of intermediates and reaction products after deprotonation of the benzylic proton. Thus, the reaction of para-(cyanomethyl)dialkyl[(methylthio)phenylmethylene]ammonium tetrafluoroborates 13a and 13b with sodium hydride affords the para-quinodimethanes 14a and 14b. Poly(meta-phenylenevinylene) 14c can be obtained when starting from 13c. We report the synthesis of para-quinodimethanes 14a and 14b and poly(meta-phenylenevinylene) 14c and describe a successive approach towards meta-phenylenevinylenes of definite length 16b and 17b starting from 12d. Moreover, we compare the stability and reactivity of para-quinodimethane 14a and 14b with those of the ortho-quinodimethane 2 and we focus on the characterization of the resulting donor and acceptor substituted compounds.

    Notes: The cathodic reduction of dibenzofuran (2), 2-chlorodibenzofuran (4), and 3-chlorodibenzofuran (1) in deuterated methanol is investigated. The Birch-type reduction product 1,4-dibenzofuran (3) is formed from 1 via 2, whereas 2-chloro-1,4-dihydrodibenzofuran (5) is obtained as by-product besides 3 from 4 as starting compound. Deuterium is only incorporated into the reduction products if CH3OD or CD3OD but not if CD3OH are used. This observation is strongly indicative of a polar mechanism involving protonation rather than a radical mechanism with hydrogen atom abstraction to be operative.

    Notes: Two-phase Hydroformylation of Buta-1,3-diene and Hydrocarbon Mixtures Containing Buta-1,3-dieneThe two-phase hydroformylation of buta-1,3-diene with (HRh(CO)[P(m-C6H4SO3Na)3]3 the Kuntz catalyst system with excess P(m-C6H4SO3Na)3) gives high yields of C5-monoaldehydes. Main product in this mixture is the reactive trans- and cis-pent-3-enal. In consecutive reactions the pent-3-enal is partially hydrogenated to n-pentanal, but also-favoured by the protolytic milieu of the two-phase reaction- aldol condensated to 2-propenylheptadienal. The hydrogenation product of the propenylheptadienal, 2-propylheptanol-1, is a good plasticizer alcohol with a wanted low vapour pressure. Especially promising is the two-phase hydroformylation of the unrefined C4-fraction of the naphtha pyrolysis: after a more than 95 per cent conversion of the buta-1,3-diene also more than 80 per cent of the n-but-1-ene in the C4-fraction is hydroformylated mainly to wanted n-pentanal. Less than 5-10% of the n-but-2-enes and the isobutene in the C4-fraction react under these conditions to oxo-products (2- and 3-methylbutanal). Acetylenic compounds in the C4-fraction are converted quantitatively into products.

    Notes: The partially diethylamino substituted phenyl-chloromono- and -disilanes Cl2Ph(NEt2)Si(2) Cl2Ph(NEt2)2Si(3), [ClPh(NEt2)Si-]2 (7) and Cl(NEt2)PhSi—SiPh(NEt2)2 (8) were synthesized. 3 and 8 are able to react with lithium powder to form the corresponding silyllithium compounds. The resulting species were characterized in solution by 13C and 29Si NMR spectroscopy. To prove the expected substitution patterns of the silyllithium compounds some coupling reactions with chlorosilanes were carried out and the resulting new oligosilanes were characterized by means of NMR spectroscopy and MS.

    Notes: 4,5-Disubstituted N-phenyl-isothiazolium salts 1 with active 5-methyl group react under the influence of anilines to form 3,4-disubstituted isothiazolium salts 3. The influence of donor and acceptor substituents in the 2-phenyl group of 1a-h and in the anilines 2 on the ring transformation were studied. The structure of the new salts was confirmed by X-ray analysis. The 3-hydroperoxy-2,3-dihydro-isothiazole 1,1-dioxides (12a,d) and the isothiazole-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxides (14a,d) are obtained by oxidation of salts 3 with H2O2.

    Notes: 2,6-Dimethoxy-(4a), 2,6-bis(dimethylamino)-(4b), 2,6-dichloro- (4c) and 2,6-dimethoxycarbonyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene (4d) were prepared by conventional methods and used as hydrogen transfer donors to α-methylstyrene (5) between 290-350 °C. The mechanism followed second order kinetics and the rate constants were only slightly influenced by the solvent polarity and the type of substituents introduced. The activation parameters are also closely similar in the series with ΔS≠ values between -21 and -28 cal/mol K. These results, together with the observation of a large isotope effect (kH/kD = 1.4-2.0 at 310-350 °C), suggest that the mechanism involves a primary kinetic H-atom-transfer from the donors to α-methylstyrene (5) in the rate determining step. The compounds 4a-4d constitute a new probe for investigating polar effects on H-transfer reactions.

    Notes: L-Malic acid (2) reacts with trifluoroacetic anhydride under anhydrous conditions to give (S)-trifluoroacetoxy-succinic acid anhydride (3). The anhydride 3 undergoes regioselective ring opening with an excess of anilines or primary aliphatic amines leading to N-substituted-(S)-3-hydroxy-succinamic acids (4a-g). Structural elucidation of the reaction products 4a-g was based on analytical and spectroscopic data and on an X-ray structure analysis of 4b. Secondary aliphatic amines react with 3 by condensation and subsequent elimination to furnish N,N′-disubstituted fumaric acid amides 5a, b. Some N-substituted-2-hydroxysuccinamic acids (7a,b) were also prepared for spectral comparison with the 3-hydroxy compounds.

    Notes: Starting with monochiral 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3,6-dimethyl quinoline 14a,b, (Schemes 1 and 2), we have synthsized the new chiral, symmetrical and unsymmetrical, tri- and pentamethinium streptocyanine dyes 2a, (Scheme 8), 4a, (Scheme 5), and 5a,b, (Scheme 4), resp. 9a, (Scheme 6), 10a,b, (Scheme 4), and 11a, (Scheme 7) with one or two stereogenic centers in the two heterocyclic end groups. The absolute configuration of 14a,b, and thus the absolute configuration of all monochiral polymethinium dyes derived from 14a,b, has been determined by a single-crystal X-ray analysis of its 4-bromobenzenesulfonyl derivative 17a, (Scheme 1 and Fig. 1). The UV/Vis spectroscopic and chiroptical properties of the new polymethinium dyes have been studied for the first time and compared with that of similar streptocyanine dyes synthesized earlier (Tables 1 and 2) in order to find possible correlations between chiroptical properties and molecular structure.

    Notes: The cyclization of the enantiomerically pure α,β-unsaturated ketone 1, an aliphatic aldehyde 3 and ammonia or benzylamine gives diastereoselectively cis-piperidones 4/4′. Although only modest yields were obtained, the presented cyclization has the advantage of being a single step reaction. The products 4 can serve as precursors for all-cis-4-hydroxy-piperidones 5 and novel pipecolic acid derivates 9.

    Notes: The syntheses and the properties of new sulfurligated liquid crystalline sulfones, containing biphenyl units, as well as the influence of lateral nitro groups on their phase behaviour are described. Differential scanning calorimetry, optical polarizing microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements reveal liquid crystalline properties for most of the synthesized bis(4-alkoxy-biphenyl-3-yl)sulfones (4). The mesomorphic behaviour of these compounds is compared with that of the corresponding nitro compounds 6. The bis(4-alkoxy-6-nitrobiphenyl-3-yl)sulfones (6) are not mesogenic. The results demonstrate that lateral nitro groups introduced into the biphenyl unit, changing the length-breadth relation, depress the thermal stability and lead to the loss of the mesomorphic properties.

Bridges were designed as ether (9, 14, 18 and 22), ester (4 and 14) and amino functions (25), respectively, The attachment of a second aryl residue at the seven-membered ring by nucleophilic attack of activated aromatic compounds such as anilines on tropylium salts resulted in the formation of two regioisomers (26 and 27). The macrocycles 28 were formed under high dilution conditions in good yields.

    Notes: Interactions in Crystals. 136. Protonated Dipyridylamine Salts with Different Anions: Monomeric Tetraphenylborate as well as Bis(trifluormethylsulfonate), Dimeric Squarate and Polymeric Chloride DihydrateDi(pyrid-2-yl)amine is monoprotonated by acetic, squaric as well as hydrochloric acid and diprotonated by trifluoromethylsulfonic acid. To explore the anion and hydrogen-bridge dependency of its salts, crystals of the monomeric tetraphenylborate, the dimeric squarate as well as the bis(trifluoromethylsulfonate) and the polymeric chloride hydrate have been grown and their structures determined: Separated by bulky tetraphenylborate anions, pyrid-2-yl(2′-pyridinium) amine cation contains an intramolecular hydrogen bridge N⊕H…N and is slightly folded. The squarate salt dimer exhibits additional bridges, N—H…O⊖ and O—H…O. The severely twisted di(2-pyridinium)amine dication is connected to its trifluormethylsulfonate counter anions by altogether three H-bridges, two N⊕H…O and one N—H…O. The chloride dihydrate crystallizes in layers of 16-membered rings, formed from three Cl anions and five water molecules. The diversity of the hydrogen-bridge dominated salt structures is discussed based on comparison with selected literature examples and on PM3 calculations.

    Notes: Monofunctionalized Dendrons of Different Generations - as Reagents for the Introduction of Dendritic SubstituentsIn recent years dendrimers become more and more important not only in organic chemistry. They represent a new class of molecules with unique characteristic features. But dendrimers represent not only designed molecular architecture. They stand for a new concept in chemistry. They can be used to alter the properties of already existing molecular skeletons or they can be used to transfer new properties to a classical functional unit. This means that functionalized dendrimers and dendrons (dendritic building blocks) can be regarded as reagents for the preparation of new compounds with dendritic properties. In this article the synthesis and the practical use of appropriate dendritic reagents is explained. Furthermore we introduce the new technical terms „{n} dendryl-“ for dendritic substituents of n generations and „dendriagent“ which stands for dendritic reagents. Moreover we give a short outlook on future developments.

    Notes: A new synthesis of the title crown via isoxazolo crown ether 7 and macrocyclic bis-β-eneaminoketone 10 is described. 7 can be synthesized in 14% yield by a non-template double-[3+2] cycloaddition of dinitrileoxide 5 prepared in situ from dinitropolyether 19 by dehydration with Ph-NCO and alkyne 6. The compounds 16, 17 and 18 are synthesized by the same synthetic strategy. Comparable IR and 1H NMR spectroscopic data of macrocyclic and non-cyclic compounds show, that macrocyclic conformation stabilizing effects can be ruled out. The structures of the macrocycles 1, 7, 10 and that of the Hg(II)-complex 25, synthesized by reaction of 1 with Hg(OAc)2 were established by single-crystal X-ray structure analyses. Both inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds are observed for the macrocyclic bis-β-eneaminoketone 10, whereas only intramolecular hydrogen bonds are formed by 1.In the Hg(II)-complex of 1 the mercury is bonded to two methylene groups. C—Hg—C is almost linear [177(1)°], the mean Hg—C distance amounts to 215(1) pm. In addition to the Hg—C bonds, each Hg makes a short contact to a carbonyl oxygen in a neighbouring molecule in the plane perpendicular to the C—Hg—C axis [Hg(1)—O(1) = 279(1) pm, Hg(2)—O(5) = 284(1) pm].

    Notes: Base-catalyzed cyclization of the naphthoquinone 5 afforded the 1,2-dihydroanthraquinone 6a. The bisalkylation products 9 and 10 were obtained by Stille-type chain elongation of the corresponding triflate 6b with the stannanes 7 or 8. The dihydroanthraquinone 9 is a potential precursor for the SS-228 Y-type angucyclinones, where as the diketone 10 can be converted to 8-deoxytetrangomycin (11).

    Notes: Starting from the benzylidene lactone 3 of D-(-)-quinic acid the cyclohexyl fragment 15 (C-28-C-34 part) of the immunosuppressant FK506 was synthesized. Key steps include homolytic deoxygenation reactions on compounds 4 and 6 as well as a regioselective opening of the benzylidene acetal 5. Opening of the lactone 7 to provide the methyl ester 8 was followed by methylation of the hydroxy group to give 9. Further steps provided the aldehyde 12 which was elongated to the alkyne 15. This sequence provides 15 in gram quantities.

    Notes: Extended Conjugation in StilbenylsquarainesUnsymmetrical 1-aryl-3-stilbenylsquaraines 2a-e and 1,3-bis(stilbenyl)squaraines 3a-c were prepared by CC coupling reactions of the corresponding substituted arenes with derivatives of squaric acid (Schemes 2 and 3). Dialkylamino and alkoxy groups enhance the solubility of these dyes and enlarge the intramolecular charge transfer of these donor-acceptor-donor systems. The extended conjugation of the stilbene units - in comparison with arene building blocks - leads to significant bathochromic shifts in the Vis/NIR absorption spectra.

    Notes: Goethe and the Earlier Chemical JournalsTwo hundred years ago the german “Allgemeines Journal der Chemie” was founded by the Bergrat Scherer from Weimar. His redaction was situated in the castle Belvedere. Goethe was a promoter of this chemist und editor. The concept of this journal, the citations of Goethe and his works in the following “Journal für Chemie und Physik”, edited by Schweigger, and the interests of Goethe as reader also on Crells oldest chemical journal from 1778 are described in detail.

    Notes: Lipase from Candida antarctica, commercially available immobilised on acrylic resin as Novozym® 435, allows for enantioselective esterification of rac-indoprofen (±)-1, with methanol in a dioxane-toluene solvent system. A double esterification process affords methyl ester (-)-(R)-2 in 85% e.e. and enantiopure (+)-(S)-1, both in good chemical yield. Chirality 10:321-324, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: (+)-(1S;2S)-Pseudoephedrine and racemic mandelic acid form three distinct diastereomeric salts from solutions in 95% ethanol. The least-soluble phase, a hemihydrate, contains the (2R)-mandelate. A salt phase of intermediate solubility is the unsolvated double salt, containing both the (2R)- and the (2S)-mandelate. The most-soluble salt phase contains the (2S)-mandelate. Mandelate configuration and order of solubility (based on the heats of fusion) is inverted from that found in the same system synthesized from chiral base and acid, and then crystallized from benzene solution. The (2R)-mandelate hemihydrate (-H2O at 349.5K, mp 391K), monoclinic, P21, a = 6.788(5), b = 29.415(35), c = 9.488(10)Å, β = 108.91(8)°, Z = 4 (2 ion-pairs/asymmetric unit). Intermediate double salt (2S)- and (2R)-mandelate, mp 377.6K, anorthic, P1, a = 7.758(4), b = 9.966(5), c = 13.366(6)Å, α = 72.99(4), β = 79.98(4), γ = 70.51(4)°, Z = 1 (2 ion-pairs/asymmetric unit). The (2S)-mandelate (mp 386.2K), orthorhombic, P212121, a = 7.079(6), b = 13.443(10), c = 18.820(14)Å, Z = 4 is identical to a salt made from a combination of enantiomeric moieties from benzene solution. While differing from ephedrine mandelates in configuration at one center, solubilities of pseudoephedrine mandelates in 95% ethanol are much larger. A comparison of molecular structure (non-polar and H-bonding) regions of pseudoephedrine and ephedrine mandelates shows similarities and differences that are tentatively linked to crystal properties. This study reemphasizes the necessity for consistency in solvent use in resolution and in phase identification and comparison because the phases produced are frequently dependent upon the solvent.

    Notes: Subcritical fluid chromatography (SubFC) using a carbon dioxide-methanol mobile phase is used for the chiral resolution of IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist enantiomers. The chiral resolution of three analogs, each containing two chiral centers, is optimized using various mobile phase additives. The effects that acidic, basic, and neutral additives have on retention, efficiency, and resolution are examined. The additive that gives the best resolution was found to be dependent upon the functionality and charge of the chiral analyte. For charged analytes, additives that act as competing ions of the same charge as the chiral analyte dramatically improve efficiency and resolution. Resolution of neutral chiral analyte enantiomers is also greatly affected by the choice of mobile phase additive. Chirality 10:338-342, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
