Abstract

A case of trisomy 6p21 leads to 6pter resulting from a maternal balanced t(2;6)(p25;p21) translocation is reported. The main clinical abnormalities were psychomotor retardation, hypotrophy, blepharophimosis, nystagmus, high nasal bridge, small mouth, sacral dimple, and systolic murmur. Other anomalies might have been due to partial 2p monosomy. Comparison with seven other cases of trisomy 6p allowed the delineation of a clinical entity. Direct proof of the localization of HLA genes was given by the presence of three haplotypes in the index patient.

Dysregulation of temperature and liver cytokine gene expression in immunodeficient wasted mice.

Wasted mice bear the spontaneous autosomal recessive mutation wst/wst; this genotype is associated with weight loss beginning at 21 days of age, neurologic dysfunction, immunodeficiency at mucosal sites, and increased sensitivity to the killing effects of ionizing radiation. The pathology underlying the disease symptoms is unknown. Experiments reported here were designed to examine thermoregulation and liver expression of specific cytokines in wasted mice and in littermate and parental controls. Our experiments found that wasted mice begin to show a drop in body temperature at 21-23 days following birth, continuing until death at the age of 28 days. Concomitant with that, livers from wasted mice expressed increased amounts of mRNAs specific for cytokines IL-6 and IL-1, the acute phase reactant C-reactive protein, c-jun, and apoptosis-associated Rp-8 when compared to littermate and parental control animals. Levels of beta-transforming growth factor, c-fos, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, and ornithine amino transferase transcripts were the same in livers from wasted mice and controls. These results suggest a relationship between an acute phase reactant response in wasted mice and temperature dysregulation.

Purification of AV-1, a position-specific molecule, and the effects of its antiserum on chick limb pattern formation.

AV-1 protein is a membrane-localized glycoprotein which is expressed in a stage- and position-specific manner during limb development and is a candidate pattern formation molecule. In this study, we have purified the AV-1 protein using an affinity column coupled with the anti-AV-1 monoclonal antibody. Using the purified protein, we produced a rat anti-AV-1 antiserum. Characterization of the antiserum by immunoblotting and immunostaining showed highly specific reactivity which was identical to that of the anti-AV-1 monoclonal antibody. The rat anti-AV-1 antiserum was injected into the vitelline vein of stage 20 chick embryos and these embryos were allowed to develop further to examine the effect of the antibody on limb pattern. The injected embryos developed deformed limbs. Many of the abnormalities in limb cartilage pattern were related to the normal pattern of the AV-1 expression, suggesting an involvement of the AV-1 protein in the process of limb pattern formation.

[3 children with velocardiofacial (Shprintzen) syndrome].

In three children, girls of 3, 8, and 12 years old, who attended or had attended public health care facilities, velocardiofacial syndrome was diagnosed. The most important symptoms are cleft palate, cardiac anomalies, characteristic facies (almond-shaped eyes, wide nose, small ears) and learning problems. The syndrome has an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with a very variable expression. Using fluorescence in situ hybridisation, microdeletions of the long arm of chromosome 22 have been identified in 70% of the patients (22qII). Velocardiofacial syndrome should be considered in any child with cleft palate, velopharyngeal insufficiency and/or hypernasal speech, and notably in children with nasal regurgitation of food in the first year of life, poor growth, developmental problems, facial dysmorphism and/or conotruncal cardiac anomalies.
