    Description: Despite its high prevalence, very little is known regarding genetic predisposition to prostate cancer. A genome-wide scan performed in 66 high-risk prostate cancer families has provided evidence of linkage to the long arm of chromosome 1 (1q24-25). Analysis of an additional set of 25 North American and Swedish families with markers in this region resulted in significant evidence of linkage in the combined set of 91 families. The data provide strong evidence of a major prostate cancer susceptibility locus on chromosome 1.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smith, J R -- Freije, D -- Carpten, J D -- Gronberg, H -- Xu, J -- Isaacs, S D -- Brownstein, M J -- Bova, G S -- Guo, H -- Bujnovszky, P -- Nusskern, D R -- Damber, J E -- Bergh, A -- Emanuelsson, M -- Kallioniemi, O P -- Walker-Daniels, J -- Bailey-Wilson, J E -- Beaty, T H -- Meyers, D A -- Walsh, P C -- Collins, F S -- Trent, J M -- Isaacs, W B -- CA58236/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Nov 22;274(5291):1371-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉National Center for Human Genome Research, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA. jtrent@nchgr.nih.gov〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8910276" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Transporter-facilitated uptake of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) has been implicated in anxiety in humans and animal models and is the site of action of widely used uptake-inhibiting antidepressant and antianxiety drugs. Human 5-HT transporter (5-HTT) gene transcription is modulated by a common polymorphism in its upstream regulatory region. The short variant of the polymorphism reduces the transcriptional efficiency of the 5-HTT gene promoter, resulting in decreased 5-HTT expression and 5-HT uptake in lymphoblasts. Association studies in two independent samples totaling 505 individuals revealed that the 5-HTT polymorphism accounts for 3 to 4 percent of total variation and 7 to 9 percent of inherited variance in anxiety-related personality traits in individuals as well as sibships.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lesch, K P -- Bengel, D -- Heils, A -- Sabol, S Z -- Greenberg, B D -- Petri, S -- Benjamin, J -- Muller, C R -- Hamer, D H -- Murphy, D L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Nov 29;274(5292):1527-31.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Psychiatry, University of Wurzburg, Fuchsleinstrasse 15, 97080 Wurzburg, Germany. kplesch@rzbox.uni-wuerzburg.de〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8929413" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Microsatellite DNA markers have been widely used as a tool for the detection of loss of heterozygosity and genomic instability in primary tumors. In a blinded study, urine samples from 25 patients with suspicious bladder lesions that had been identified cystoscopically were analyzed by this molecular method and by conventional cytology. Microsatellite changes matching those in the tumor were detected in the urine sediment of 19 of the 20 patients (95 percent) who were diagnosed with bladder cancer, whereas urine cytology detected cancer cells in 9 of 18 (50 percent) of the samples. These results suggest that microsatellite analysis, which in principle can be performed at about one-third the cost of cytology, may be a useful addition to current screening methods for detecting bladder cancer.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mao, L -- Schoenberg, M P -- Scicchitano, M -- Erozan, Y S -- Merlo, A -- Schwab, D -- Sidransky, D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Feb 2;271(5249):659-62.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Otolaryngology--Head and Neck Surgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205-2196, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8571131" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Tourette syndrome, a chronic tic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance, exhibits considerable phenotypic variability even within monozygotic twin pairs. The origins of this variability remain unclear. Recent findings have implicated the caudate nucleus as a locus of pathology, and pharmacological evidence supports dopaminergic involvement. Within monozygotic twins discordant for Tourette syndrome severity, differences in D2 dopamine receptor binding in the head of the caudate nucleus predicted differences in phenotypic severity (r = 0.99); this relation was not observed in putamen. These data may link Tourette syndrome with a spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders that involve associative striatal circuitry.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wolf, S S -- Jones, D W -- Knable, M B -- Gorey, J G -- Lee, K S -- Hyde, T M -- Coppola, R -- Weinberger, D R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Aug 30;273(5279):1225-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Clinical Brain Disorders Branch, National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health, NIMH Neuroscience Center at St. Elizabeths, 2700 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SE, Washington, DC 200.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8703056" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1) replicates actively in infected individuals, yet cells with intracellular depots of viral protein are observed only infrequently. Many cells expressing the HIV-1 Gag protein were detected at the surface of the nasopharyngeal tonsil or adenoid. This infected mucosal surface contained T cells and dendritic cells, two cell types that together support HIV-1 replication in culture. The infected cells were multinucleated syncytia and expressed the S100 and p55 dendritic cell markers. Eleven of the 13 specimens analyzed were from donors who did not have symptoms of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The interaction of dendritic cells and T cells in mucosa may support HIV-1 replication, even in subclinical stages of infection.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Frankel, S S -- Wenig, B M -- Burke, A P -- Mannan, P -- Thompson, L D -- Abbondanzo, S L -- Nelson, A M -- Pope, M -- Steinman, R M -- AI24775/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Apr 5;272(5258):115-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉AIDS Division, Department of Infectious and Parasitic Disease Pathology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Washington DC 20306-6000, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8600520" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS) is characterized by developmental abnormalities and by the postnatal occurrence of cancers, especially basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), the most common human cancer. Heritable mutations in BCNS patients and a somatic mutation in a sporadic BCC were identified in a human homolog of the Drosophila patched (ptc) gene. The ptc gene encodes a transmembrane protein that in Drosophila acts in opposition to the Hedgehog signaling protein, controlling cell fates, patterning, and growth in numerous tissues. The human PTC gene appears to be crucial for proper embryonic development and for tumor suppression.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Johnson, R L -- Rothman, A L -- Xie, J -- Goodrich, L V -- Bare, J W -- Bonifas, J M -- Quinn, A G -- Myers, R M -- Cox, D R -- Epstein, E H Jr -- Scott, M P -- AR3995/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Jun 14;272(5268):1668-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Developmental Biology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Stanford University School of Medicine, California 94305-5427, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8658145" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
