The spectrum of disease causing mutations is immense. It just so happens
that the overwhelming majority of genetic alterations in the APC gene
with leads to adenomatous polyposis coli generate truncated gene
products. This observation lead to the development of the in vitro
synthesis protein assay (protein truncation test) which is a sensitive
method to detect these truncated gene products from patient samples.
This article describes the assay to detect truncated proteins for the
APC gene, which can also be applied to other disease causing genetic
alterations which commonly lead to truncations such in HNPCC, von
Hippel-Lindau, osteogenesis imperfecta, retinoblastoma, BCRAI,
beta-thalassemia, hemophilia B, Duchenene and Becker muscular dystrophy.

Studies in women with a family history of cancer demonstrate a wide
variability in the uptake of cancer screening measures. Little data
exist regarding the breast and ovarian cancer screening practices of
women who are members of hereditary breast cancer families. In order to
address this issue, we examined the screening behaviors and the
determinants of screening in a clinic based group of 216 women with a
strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer who were participating
in a free genetic counseling and testing research program. At baseline,
prior to obtaining genetic counseling or testing, 50% of women ages
30-39, 83% of those age 40-49, 69% of those 50-64, and 53% of those >65
reported having a mammogram in the prior year. Adherence to mammography
recommendations was correlated with age, number of relatives with breast
cancer, and income. Twenty percent of participants had at least one CA-
125 performed and 31 % had ever obtained a screening ultrasound. Having
at least one relative with ovarian cancer was very strongly associated
with ovarian cancer screening [OR = 12.3, 95% CI = 4.6-33 for CA-125;
OR=4.9, 95% CI=2.4, 10.1 for ultrasound]. No association between cancer
worries/distress and either breast or ovarian cancer screening was
found. In conclusion, the breast and ovarian screening uptake in healthy
women from hereditary breast cancer families is suboptimal, even for
women over age 50, for whom annual mammography is clearly indicated.
These findings indicate a need for better education about screening
guidelines for high-risk women.

The goal of this article is to describe a two-stage design that
maximizes the power to detect gene-disease associations when the
principal design constraint is the total cost, represented by the total
number of gene evaluations rather than the total number of individuals.
In the first stage, all genes of interest are evaluated on a subset of
individuals. The most promising genes are then evaluated on additional
subjects in the second stage. This will eliminate wastage of resources
on genes unlikely to be associated with disease based on the results of
the first stage. We consider the case where the genes are correlated and
the case where the genes are independent. Using simulation results, it
is shown that, as a general guideline when the genes are independent or
when the correlation is small, utilizing 75% of the resources in stage 1
to screen all the markers and evaluating the most promising 10% of the
markers with the remaining resources provides near-optimal power for a
broad range of parametric configurations. This translates to screening
all the markers on approximately one quarter of the required sample size
in stage 1.

Is it wrong to deliberately conceive or give birth to a child with
mental retardation?
SO - J Med Philos 2002 Feb;27(1):47-63
AD - University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. email@example.com
This paper discusses the issues of deciding to have a child with mental
retardation, and of terminating a pregnancy when the future child is
known to have the same disability. I discuss these problems by
criticizing a utilitarian argument, namely, that one should act in a way
that results in less suffering and less limited opportunity in the
world. My argument is that future parents ought to assume a strong
responsibility towards the well-being of their prospective children when
they decide to reproduce. The moral point in cases in which our acts
affect the well-being of future children should be expressed strictly in
terms of parents' culpability. Future children thus do not have current
moral standing but presently living persons have current obligations to
consider the presumable effects of their actions on future people. I
will also argue that there are morally significant differences between
'selective contraception' and selective abortion.

Genetic diagnosis yields information that is highly relevant for both
the patient and the genetic relatives of the patient. In this article
two ethical problems are discussed. Under what conditions should
hereditary cancer information be given to a relative? It is suggested
that in order to answer this question, three factors have to be
considered and a balance struck: the seriousness of the condition, the
existence of treatment or prevention and the reliability of the
diagnosis. The second issue discussed in the article relates to the
psychosocial effects of giving hereditary cancer information. It is
argued that ethical management of clinical practice requires that
further attention must be given to the psychosocial effects on both the
individual and the family.

The authors investigated whether the considerable variability in serum
bilirubin levels (STB) found in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia,
beta-thal intermedia, and heterozygous beta-thalassemia individuals
could be related to the coexistence of Gilbert syndrome (GS). The
promoter region [A(TA)nTAA] of the bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase
gene (UGT1A1) was analyzed in a total of 128 beta-thalassemia
individuals (108 transfusion-dependent beta-thal patients, 20 very mild
beta-thal intermedia) and in 33 beta-thal heterozygotes. The control
group consisted of 70 healthy children with no history of anemia. The
frequency of GS genotype (TA)7/(TA)7 did not differ significantly
between the groups studied. A significant difference was observed
between serum bilirubin levels (STB) and GS genotypes (TA)7/(TA)7 and
(TA)6/(TA)7 and also between (TA)7/(TA)7 and (TA)6/(TA)6 for all groups
examined. These results confirm that the (TA)7/(TA)7 GS genotype is one
of the factors accounting for the hyperbilirubinemia observed in
beta-thalassemia major, intermedia, and heterozygous individuals.

Identification of high risk breast-cancer patients by gene expression
SO - Lancet 2002 Jan 12;359(9301):131-2
We previously used DNA array analyses in the molecular profiling of
breast cancers. By cluster analysis of 55 patients, we identified a
subpopulation of breast cancers-designated class A-that contained a high
number of nodal-positive tumours and that had frequently developed
distant metastases at the time of diagnosis. We have now analysed
follow-up data from these patients. We found that, despite a median of
only 23.5 months of follow-up, 11 of 22 patients in class A progressed
to metastatic disease, and three of five patients classified as having a
nodal status of N0 in this subpopulation developed distant metastases.
Our analysis identifies breast-cancer patients with a high risk of
disease recurrence, and could act as a first step towards improved
patient-adapted therapy.

Center, Washington, DC 20007, USA.
The identification of BRCA1 and BRCA2, two breast-ovarian cancer
susceptibility genes, has brought many ethical and social issues to the
forefront. This paper presents the results of a survey assessing the
attitudes of 238 unaffected first-degree relatives of women with breast
or ovarian cancer regarding the ethical issues of autonomy and
confidentiality as they relate to BRCA1/2 testing. Baseline knowledge
about BRCA1/2 and ethnic and psychosocial characteristics of our study
population were examined to determine their association with women's
attitudes. The majority of women (86-87%) felt that health care
providers should not disclose the results of genetic tests for
breast-ovarian cancer susceptibility to insurance companies or employers
without written consent; however, only 56-57% felt that written consent
should be required for a spouse or immediate family to receive this
information. Ninety-eight percent of the women surveyed agreed that
genetic testing for breast-ovarian cancer risk should be voluntary.
Likewise, most women (95%) agreed that a person should be able to have
genetic testing against a doctor's recommendation and 88% of the women
surveyed agreed that parents should be able to consent to genetic
susceptibility testing on behalf of their minor children. African
American women were less concerned than Caucasian women about the
protection of confidentiality in families, they were more likely to
agree that an individual should still have access to testing when their
physicians recommended against it, and they were more supportive of
parents' rights to consent to genetic predisposition testing on behalf
of their minor children. Women with coping styles characterized by
higher optimism were more likely to favor access to genetic testing when
a physician recommended against it, and to support parents' rights to
consent to testing of their minor children. Therefore, the setting and
manner in which genetic counseling and testing are delivered must be
appropriately tailored to reflect these attitudinal differences and

Factors influencing health insurers' decisions to cover new genetic
SO - Int J Technol Assess Health Care 2000 Winter;16(1):178-89
AD - Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, USA.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the relative importance of factors influencing
health insurers' coverage of new genetic technologies. METHODS: A
national survey in which the decision makers for private health insurers
were asked whether they would cover cystic fibrosis (CF) carrier
screening, testing for genetic susceptibility to breast cancer (BRCA
test), and medical costs of a clinical trial of gene therapy for CF
under a variety of conditions. RESULTS: Respondents' coverage of the two
tests and of medical costs of clinical trials was low at the time of the
study (4%-15.5% of insurers). Their coverage of CF carrier screening and
BRCA testing would be increased significantly if the group tested was
restricted to those at high risk, if detection rates were higher and
costs lower, and if testing was endorsed by a national professional
group or consensus conference. Coverage of the medical costs of a trial
of CF gene therapy would be significantly more likely if the trial was
restricted to children or adults with severe CF, safety and
effectiveness was proven, and therapy could be administered in a
regional hospital or an outpatient setting rather than in a research
hospital. CONCLUSIONS: Health insurers play a critical role in the
diffusion of new genetic technologies. The validity of genetic tests and
the safety and effectiveness of new therapies are primary factors
influencing health insurers' coverage. Lower costs and approval of
professional groups are other factors associated with increased

Disturbances in central serotonergic systems have been hypothesized to
be involved in seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Association between
SAD and the shorter allele of the serotonin transporter promoter repeat
length polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) has been reported in an American sample.
We have genotyped 82 SAD patients and 82 healthy controls from Sweden,
Finland, and Germany for this and five other polymorphisms in the genes
coding for serotonin receptors 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C, tryptophan hydroxylase
and white. No associations with SAD or seasonality (seasonal variations
in mood and behavior) were detected. Although minor effects cannot be
excluded, our results suggest that these polymorphisms do not play a
major role in the pathogenesis of SAD in the northern European
population. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.

FROM A CLINICAL POINT OF VIEW: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2
(MEN2) is an autosomal dominant, inherited multiglandular disease with
familial and individual age-related penetration and variable expression.
A medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is always concomitant to MEN2 and
associated in varying proportion with pheochromocytoma (50%) and
hyperparathyroidism (5 to 20%). PROGNOSTIC DATA: The prognosis of MEN2
is related to the carcinological evolution of MTC, which depends mainly
on the stage of discovery and the quality of the first surgical
treatment, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis. THE IMPORTANCE OF
THE ERT GENE: The identification of mutations in proto-oncogene RET,
responsible for the various forms of the disease allows subjects at risk
in a family circle to be identified and early screening of various
endocrine damage, notably MTC, should be performed. Biological
explorations in all persons carrying this mutation would permit
diagnosis and surgical treatment of the endocrine lesions, before their
clinical manifestation.

Diseases of the gut frequently show skin symptoms. These can give first
and important clues in regard to diagnosis. In general the etiology can
be divided into genetic disorders, chronic inflammation, drug reaction,
infectious diseases or related to malignancy. In genetic disorders
increasing knowledge about the involved genes is available, allowing
prenatal diagnosis and screening of clinically not affected family
members. Especially in cancer prone syndromes early diagnosis and
preventive treatment is crucial. Inflammatory bowel diseases show a high
prevalence, therefore necessitating the knowledge of skin complications
such as pyoderma gangrenosum, Sweet syndrome and erythema nodosum.
Gastrointestinal malignancies may metastasize into the skin or may
produce typical paraneoplastic changes.

Sudden Unexplained Death Syndrome (SUDS) (or in Thai Lai-tai) share the
same ECG pattern as Brugada Syndrome: RSR' and ST segment elevation in
V1 to V3. Brugada Syndrome is a genetic disorder with the inheritance
pattern of autosomal dominant (using the ECG pattern and unexplained
sudden death as phenotype) and the cardiac sodium channel gene (SCN5A)
mutations caused this syndrome. To determine whether SUDS was associated
with the same mutations as Brugada Syndrome, the authors performed a
linkage studies on 5 SUDS families with the Brugada Syndrome ECG pattern
and found one family could not be excluded from linkage to SCN5A.
However, the direct sequencing in 8 reported mutations on exon 5, 12,
17, 18 and 28 in this family failed to demonstrate the mutations. It was
concluded that SUDS mutations maybe a novel mutation different from
previously reported mutations, further genetic studies in SCN5A and
other candidate genes might elucidate the molecular basis of SUDS.

Due to major developments in genetics over the past decade, molecular
biology tests are serving promising tools in early diagnosis and
follow-up of cancer patients. Recent epidemiological studies revealed
that the risk for each individual to develop cancer is closely linked to
his/her own genetic potentialities. Some populations that are defective
in DNA repair processes, for example in Xeroderma pigmentosum or in the
Lynch syndrome, are particularly prone to cancer due to the accumulation
of mutations within the genome. Such populations would benefit from the
development of tests aimed at identifying people who are particularly at
risk. Here, we review some data suggesting that the inactivation of
mismatch repair is often found in endometrial cancer and we discuss
molecular-based strategies that would help to identify the affected
individuals in families with cases of glandular malignancies.

Quantitative analysis of survival motor neuron copies: identification of

genotype-phenotype correlation, and implications for genetic counseling.
SO - Am J Hum Genet 1999 May;64(5):1340-56
AD - Institute of Human Genetics, Wilhelmstrasse 31, D-53111 Bonn, Germany.
Problems with diagnosis and genetic counseling occur for patients with
autosomal recessive proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who do not
show the most common mutation: homozygous absence of at least exon 7 of
the telomeric survival motor neuron gene (SMN1). Here we present
molecular genetic data for 42 independent nondeleted SMA patients. A
nonradioactive quantitative PCR test showed one SMN1 copy in 19 patients
(45%). By sequencing cloned reverse-transcription (RT) PCR products or
genomic fragments of SMN1, we identified nine different mutations in 18
of the 19 patients, six described for the first time: three missense
mutations (Y272C, T274I, S262I), three frameshift mutations in exons 2a,
2b, and 4 (124insT, 241-242ins4, 591delA), one nonsense mutation in exon
1 (Q15X), one Alu-mediated deletion from intron 4 to intron 6, and one
donor splice site mutation in intron 7 (c.922+6T-->G). The most frequent
mutation, Y272C, was found in 6 (33%) of 18 patients. Each intragenic
mutation found in at least two patients occurred on the same haplotype
background, indicating founder mutations. Genotype-phenotype correlation
allowed inference of the effect of each mutation on the function of the
SMN1 protein and the role of the SMN2 copy number in modulating the SMA
phenotype. In 14 of 23 SMA patients with two SMN1 copies, at least one
intact SMN1 copy was sequenced, which excludes a 5q-SMA and suggests the
existence of further gene(s) responsible for approximately 4%-5% of
phenotypes indistinguishable from SMA. We determined the validity of the
test, and we discuss its practical implications and limitations.

Hereditary prostate cancer: clinical aspects.
SO - J Urol 2002 Sep;168(3):906-13
AD - Unit for Urology, Helsingborg Hospital, Sweden.
PURPOSE: We review the current epidemiological and genetic knowledge
regarding hereditary prostate cancer, and outline its clinical
implications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Published articles on hereditary
prostate cancer were identified using the MEDLINE data base. RESULTS: A
risk of prostate cancer, particularly early onset disease, is strongly
affected by family history (number of relatives with prostate cancer and
their age at diagnosis). A family history of prostate cancer increases
the positive predictive value of prostate specific antigen testing and,
hence, heredity should always be assessed when deciding whether to
perform biopsies in a man with a prostate specific antigen level of 3 to
10 ng./ml. Epidemiological studies indicate that dominantly inherited
susceptibility genes with high penetrance cause 5% to 10% of all
prostate cancer cases, and as much as 30% to 40% of early onset disease.
More than a half dozen chromosome loci that may comprise such genes have
of major importance had been cloned. Most likely, environmental factors
and comparatively common variants of several other genes affect prostate
cancer risk in families with or without multiple cases of the disease.
On average, hereditary prostate cancer is diagnosed 6 to 7 years earlier
than sporadic prostate cancer, but does not otherwise differ clinically
from the sporadic form. As a consequence of the earlier onset, a greater
proportion of men with hereditary prostate cancer die of the disease
than those with nonhereditary prostate cancer. At present, the only
clinically applicable measure to reduce prostate cancer mortality in
families with hereditary disease is screening, with the aim of
diagnosing the disease when it is still in a curable stage. CONCLUSIONS:
Hereditary susceptibility is now considered the strongest risk factor
for prostate cancer and has profound clinical importance. The genetic
mechanism behind such susceptibility has turned out to be more complex
than initially thought, and will probably not be completely understood
for many years to come.

OBJECTIVES: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal
dominantly inherited colorectal cancer predisposition syndrome caused by
germ line mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli gene (APC). For
prophylactic colectomy, timely identification of patients at risk is
urgent. Here, matrix assisted laser desorption ionization - time of
flight - mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) genotyping is offered for an
efficient molecular diagnosis of APC germline mutations. DESIGN AND
METHODS: The four most frequent APC germ line mutations (three
deletions, one point mutation) were genotyped by allele specific
elongation and termination of extension primers. The extension products
generated were analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS. RESULTS: Following PCR
amplification and allele specific primer extension reactions
MALDI-TOF-MS allowed the unambiguous identification of informative
nucleic acid fragments corresponding to distinct genotypes or mutants
even in duplex assays. Results were confirmed by DNA-sequencing.
CONCLUSIONS: Due to its high molecular resolution and accuracy, this
method is highly suitable as an alternative for clinical APC genotyping.

Association between clinical characteristics and types of the tau gene
mutation has been observed in frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism
linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17). P301L mutation seldom causes
parkinsonism as a leading symptom; instead it usually causes personality
changes with aggressiveness and disinhibition. We experienced two
patients of FTDP-17 from separate families (designated as patient 1 from
family 1 and patient 2 from family 2). They had P301L mutation in
common. However, their phenotypes were distinct from each other.
Aggressive behaviors and disinhibition were the main symptoms in patient
1, whereas parkinsonism was the most prominent feature in patient 2.
Their genotypes of the tau gene were different at three sites, i. e. in
exon 6, in intron segment before exon 10, and in exon 13, though they do
not bring amino acid change. Patient 1 had more prevalent C/C, C/C, and
rare T/C respectively. Patient 2 had less prevalent T/T, A/A, and more
prevalent T/T respectively. These findings suggest two things. Firstly,
they do not share a common founder for P301L mutation. Secondly, either
of the two less prevalent genotypes observed in patient 2 may be the
factor to modify the phenotype of P301L mutation into those unusual
clinical features with prominent parkinsonism. Accumulation of
information as to phenotype-genotype association will settle this

Evidence for additional genetic risk indicators of relapse-onset MS

AD - Department of Clinical Epidemiology, LUMC, Leiden, The Netherlands.
BACKGROUND: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR2 carriership is associated
with an increased risk for MS. Genome searches using microsatellite
markers have consistently shown that additional genetic factors
contribute to susceptibility for MS. OBJECTIVE: To identify loci within
the HLA region that predispose to relapse-onset MS independently of
HLA-DR2. METHOD: A case-control study involving 159 patients with
definite relapse-onset MS and 273 control subjects was conducted. Six
highly polymorphic microsatellite markers encoded within the HLA-C to DR
region, that is, D6S1014, D6S273, TNFa, MIB, C1_2_5, and C1_3_2, three
single-nucleotide tumor necrosis factor (TNF) promoter gene
polymorphisms at positions -238, -308, and -376, and HLA-DR2 carriership
were typed. RESULTS: These data confirmed the well-known association
between the HLA-DR2 haplotype and relapse-onset MS, yielding an odds
ratio (OR) of 3.6 (95% CI: 2.4 to 5.4; p < 0.0001). Multivariate
analyses revealed that C1_3_2*354 was also associated with an increased
risk for developing relapse-onset MS independently of HLA-DR2 (OR: 2.0;
95% CI: 1.2 to 3.1; p = 0.004). This allele is encoded within an
ancestral haplotype that is highly linked to HLA-DR3. The joint effect
of this ancestral haplotype and HLA-DR2 resulted in an OR of 8.7 (95%
CI: 2.7 to 29; p < 0.0001) to develop relapse-onset MS. In addition, a
protective risk factor was found: carriers of TNFa*107 had a 0.5-fold
lower risk to develop relapse-onset MS (95% CI: 0.3 to 0.9; p = 0.026).
CONCLUSION: Within the HLA region, other loci besides HLA-DR2 haplotype
modulate susceptibility for relapse-onset MS.

Structure and mutation analysis of the gene encoding DNA fragmentation
factor 40 (caspase-activated nuclease), a candidate neuroblastoma tumour
suppressor gene.
SO - Hum Genet 2000 Apr;106(4):406-13
AD - Molecular Medicine Unit, University of Leeds, St James's University
Hospital, UK.
We have characterised the DFFB gene, encoding the active subunit of the
apoptotic nuclease DNA fragmentation factor (DFF40). DFFB maps to 1p36,
near the imprinted putative tumour suppressor gene TP73. The DFFA gene
(encoding the inhibitory DFF45 subunit) also maps to 1p36.2-36.3, and we
show by FISH that DFFB lies distal to DFFA. We have also mapped a
processed DFFB pseudogene to chromosome 9. DFFB itself has seven coding
exons spanning 10 kb. Exhaustive mutation screening of 41 neuroblastomas
and other tumours in which a 1p36 tumour suppressor gene is implicated
showed no tumour-specific mutations. A coding region polymorphism was
used to demonstrate uniformly biallelic expression in human fetal DFFB
transcripts. Since the putative neuroblastoma tumour suppressor gene in
distal 1p36 is predicted to be maternally expressed, the lack of
imprinting and absence of somatic mutations in DFFB indicate that it is
probably not the neuroblastoma tumour suppressor gene.

AD - Erasmus Universitair Medisch Centrum, afd. Klinische Genetica,
Westzeedijk 112, 3016 AH Rotterdam. firstname.lastname@example.com
Huntington's disease (HD) is a late onset, incurable, autosomal
dominantly-inherited, progressive neuropsychiatric disease,
characterised by chorea, changes in personality, mood and behaviour, and
dementia. Huntington's disease is a clinical diagnosis. The advent of
DNA diagnosis has made predictive, prenatal and preimplantation testing
possible for at-risk persons or asymptomatic carriers. The prevalence is
estimated to be 3-10/100,000 among individuals of European descent; HD
is less common in other ethnic groups. Huntington's disease is caused by
an expanded trinucleotide CAG repeat in the HD gene on chromosome 4. The
gene encodes for the protein huntingtin, with an as yet unknown
function. The mutated huntingtin has an elongated stretch of glutamines
which leads to a gain of function such as overactivity, excitotoxicity,
or to interactions with other proteins.

Drosophila VAP-33A directs bouton formation at neuromuscular junctions
in a dosage-dependent manner.
SO - Neuron 2002 Jul 18;35(2):291-306
AD - Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX
Aplysia VAP-33 (VAMP-associated protein) has been previously proposed to
be involved in the control of neurotransmitter release. Here, we show
that a Drosophila homolog of VAP-33, DVAP-33A, is localized to
neuromuscular junctions. Loss of DVAP-33A causes a severe decrease in
the number of boutons and a corresponding increase in bouton size.
Conversely, presynaptic overexpression of DVAP-33A induces an increase
in the number of boutons and a decrease in their size. Gain-of-function
experiments show that the presynaptic dose of DVAP-33A tightly modulates
the number of synaptic boutons. Our data also indicate that the
presynaptic microtubule architecture is severely compromised in DVAP-33A
mutants. We propose that a DVAP-33A-mediated interaction between
microtubules and presynaptic membrane plays a pivotal role during bouton

NotI subtraction and NotI-specific microarrays to detect copy number and
methylation changes in whole genomes.
SO - Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2002 Aug 6;99(16):10724-9
AD - Microbiology and Tumor Biology Center, Karolinska Institute, 171 77
Stockholm, Sweden.
Methylation, deletions, and amplifications of cancer genes constitute
important mechanisms in carcinogenesis. For genome-wide analysis of
these changes, we propose the use of NotI clone microarrays and genomic
subtraction, because NotI recognition sites are closely associated with
CpG islands and genes. We show here that the CODE (Cloning Of DEleted
sequences) genomic subtraction procedure can be adapted to NotI flanking
sequences and to CpG islands. Because the sequence complexity of this
procedure is greatly reduced, only two cycles of subtraction are
required. A NotI-CODE procedure can be used to prepare NotI
representations (NRs) containing 0.1-0.5% of the total DNA. The NRs
contain, on average, 10-fold less repetitive sequences than the whole
human genome and can be used as probes for hybridization to NotI
microarrays. These microarrays, when probed with NRs, can simultaneously
detect copy number changes and methylation. NotI microarrays offer a
powerful tool with which to study carcinogenesis.

salvador Promotes both cell cycle exit and apoptosis in Drosophila and
is mutated in human cancer cell lines.
SO - Cell 2002 Aug 23;110(4):467-78
AD - Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, Building 149, 13th Street,
Charlestown 02129, USA.
The number of cells in an organism is determined by regulating both cell
proliferation and cell death. Relatively few mechanisms have been
identified that can modulate both of these processes. In a screen for
Drosophila mutations that result in tissue overgrowth, we identified
salvador (sav), a gene that promotes both cell cycle exit and cell
death. Elevated Cyclin E and DIAP1 levels are found in mutant cells,
resulting in delayed cell cycle exit and impaired apoptosis. Salvador
contains two WW domains and binds to the Warts (or LATS) protein kinase.
The human ortholog of salvador (hWW45) is mutated in three cancer cell
lines. Thus, salvador restricts cell numbers in vivo by functioning as a
dual regulator of cell proliferation and apoptosis.

Pharmacogenetics offers the prospect of an era of safer and more
effective drugs, as well as more individualized use of drug therapies.
Before the benefits of pharmacogenetics can be realized, the ethical
issues that arise in research and clinical application of
pharmacogenetic technologies must be addressed. The ethical issues
raised by pharmacogenetics can be addressed under six headings: (1)
regulatory oversight, (2) confidentiality and privacy, (3) informed
consent, (4) availability of drugs, (5) access, and (6) clinicians'
changing responsibilities in the era of pharmacogenetic medicine. We
analyze each of these categories of ethical issues and provide policy
approaches for addressing them.

Team / International / Tommy Fields
Top 3 favourite kitesurfing spots?
My favorite spots are the Taiba and Cauipe lagoons in Brazil and Whale Harbor in the keys because they're constantly super flat and windy and there's always lots of people to hang out and ride with.
Favourite gear set up?
This year I feel the best on the 9m 2011 Vegas on 25m lines and the 133 team series powered on butter smooth water. The new Vegas has mad pop and the new team series feels perfect which makes me confident coming in super fast with the kite low.
Favourite music Top5?
I'm so paid- Akon
The Nosebleed Section- Hilltop Hoods
Miami 2 Ibiza- Swedish House Mafia
Club can't handle me- Flo Rida
Flashlight- Shwayze
Cat or dog?
Dog of course, what can you do with a pet cat?
Vegetables or Pizza/Burger?
Lots of sugar and Acai- the secret to why Brazil's so awesome.
Girls or boys ;-)?
Girls, all the way
Water or Champaign?
Water- After a long day riding and training at the beach first thing I gotta grab is a big bottle of water.
Car or bike?
Car- Gotta live life fast and complete. You can't just be on the side of the road on a bike letting everybody pass you by.
City or beach?
I'm most at home on the beach, the city's way too crowded for me and I'd much rather kick back by the water with friends after a long day riding.
Pink or black?
Pink's for girls
Plane or roadtrip?
Plane's be best way to travel by far, be it for getting to awesome spots or to jump out of for some skydiving.
What did you ever want to say?
Do everything to the fullest and don't leave anything behind. If that doesn't work, just ride super powered with the kite low and do huge kiteloop slims.

I had to log in and say Great job with this fine distribution. You'd never know it was a release candidate. I've tried "Finals" that were not this polished!
I've tried both live dvd's and they run and install fine. Since I am relatively new to linux and have never been able to install Gentoo before I'm going to start over with the mini-cd x/86 so I can learn the ins and outs of Gentoo with a more basic install.
I have one question. Does Gentoo have anything similar to Kubuntu's alien ? The linux drivers for my printer Canon mp500 are only available from the japanese site and are in RPM. With Alien they can be converted to .deb packages for installation. Maybe I missed the proper man page(s) . I would appreciate any link or advice
Thank you,

drama, flair but almost weightless: perfect!
These are even prettier and richer looking in person. Great design works in both formal and informal settings. Having stopped wearing earrings for longer than I realized, hair cut length/style, I especially love these earrings as the thin ear wires work and cause no pain to almost closed pierced ears. Earrings aren't tiny, provide drama and style, yet are almost weightless, i.e., they don't hurt.

Very simple and making more user friendly It's easy to use and saves a lot of time for common tasks. Great tools, when they work. There are bugs, especially with Copy/Paste References, which doesn't work at all (E_FAIL), and it appears no there has been no work on the project for 2.5 years. Release the source to the community so we can update it and fix bugs. Time saver. It's easy to use and saves time. This is the thing really what i am looking for. Saves some much time on tasks I do all the time! Love it! I recently installed VS2010 on a different system and greatly felt the loss of these tools. 5 stars. "Format document on save / Remove and Sort Usings on save" is just essential still using is it open source I have some idea of my own very nice and easy to understand just stuff you will love to use Although these are rather simple additions to Visual Studio, they help you code so much faster. I would love to see some of these implemented in Visual Studio by default.

Loved the bracelet, very well made, however not made for a large hand, Had a very hard time trying to put it on and take it off.
I love the simplicity of it!

The bracelet was a gift and the recipient thought that it a\was lovely. I have not seen it.
it's hinged, so the bracelet itself isn't too big when it's actually on your wrist, so it makes it more comfortable. another nice thing about the hinge is there is a thin connector rod in the bracelet, so that if for any reason it was opened accidentally, it wouldn't just fall off your wrist! the rod makes the bracelet a elongated oval that you have to take off past your fingers. PERFECT!
