Análise molecular de pacientes com Mucopolissacaridose tipo II

Facchin, Ana Carolina Brusius January 2012 (has links)
Introdução:Mucopolissacaridose tipo II é uma doença lisossômica causada pela deficiência da enzima idounato-2-sulfatase. A incidência de MPS II é muito baixa, geralmente menos de 1 caso para cada 1.000.000 recém-nascidos. Até o presente momento, cerca de 340 mutações foram identificadas no gene da idorunatosulfatase. Objetivo: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo principal identificar as alterações moleculares presentes em 149 pacientes brasileiros e sul americanos com diagnóstico bioquímico de MPS II. Métodos: Após a realização do protocolo inicial proposto e que incluía o sequenciamento completo do gene IDS, alguns pacientes não apresentaram alterações e foram incluídos num protocolo adicional para casos “especais”. Resultados: Uma deleção de 178pb foi encontrada na região promotora do gene, em 2 pacientes que não apresentaram alterações em região codificante, bem como outros 2 pacientes apresentaram um polimorfismo na mesma região, que nunca havia sido relatado em pacientes com MPS II. A detecção de uma deleção em 3 pacientes através da técnica de PCR convencional,exon por exon, nos mostrou que a deleção se estendia da região proximal do gene IDS até a região dos genes FRAXA e FRAXE, contudo análises adicionais, através de SNP-array, confirmaram a deleção restrita a estas regiões em 2 pacientes e identificaram a deleção total retrita ao gene IDS em outro. Após a análise de 105 pacientes com MPS II, 30 novas mutações foram encontradas o que demonstra uma grande heterogeneidade genica. Conclusão: Tais análises são importantes para elucidar o defeito básico e assim poder identificar portadoras nas famílias, o que tem uma importância fundamental para o aconselhamento genético, diagnóstico pré-natal e prevenção de novos casos. Adicionalmente, a informação sobre o defeito genéticomolecular é muito importante para a predição do fenótipo e consequentemente para a definição da melhor estratégia de tratamento. / Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type II is a lysosomal disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme idounate-2-sulfatase. The incidence of MPS II is very low, usually less than 1 case per 1 million newborns. To date, about 340 mutations have been identified in the IDS gene. Objective: This study aimed to identify the molecular alterations present in 149 Brazilian and South American patients with biochemical diagnosis of MPS II. Methods: After molecular analysis using the initial protocol proposed, wich included complete sequencing of the IDS gene, someof the patients showed no DNA alterations of the gene coding region and were included an additional protocol for “special” cases. Results: A deletion of 178pb was found in the promoter region of the gene in two patients. An other 2 patients had a polymorphism in the same region, which had never been reported in patients with MPS II. A deletion was observed in 3 patients by conventional PCR, exon by exon, which extended from the proximal IDS gene until the fagile sites FRAXA and FRAXE. Additional analyzes using SNP-array confirmed the deletion of those regions in two patients and have identified the full deletion restricted to IDS in another. After analysis of 105 patients with MPS II, 30 new mutations were found which shows a broad genomic heterogeneity. Conclusion: Such analyzes are important to elucidate the basic defect and thus enable to identify carriers in families, which is of fundamental importance for genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis and prevention of new cases. In addition, information about the molecular genetic defect is very important for the prediction of phenotype and thus for defining the best tstrategy for treatment.

Mutations in iduronate-2-sulfatase gene (IDS) cause deficiency of the homonymous enzyme activity and define the accumulation of GAG heparan and dermatan sulfate in the lysosomes, leading to dysfunction of cells, tissues and organs and clinical manifestations of wide phenotypic variety. The measures of the IDS gene expression in leukocytes by PCR in real time relative values evaluated by cDNA, were low in all five patients amazonenses in repeated tests, including in subjects with symptoms suggestive and no biochemical evidence. The partial sequencing of genomic DNA by choice of exon 9, home region of most mutations in Brazilian patients, to verify the presence of point mutation in all patients allowed to question the standard status gold of biochemical measurement of IDS enzyme for diagnosis. The use of PCR real time, via high-resolution melting analysis (HRM), proved to be useful for the identification of women with the mutant allele. Sequencing and HRM should be inserted in the flowchart for the confirmation of the disease with the accuracy of the advantages of early diagnosis and genetic counseling in more scientific basis. Plasma levels of manganese (Mn++) and B vitamins (pyridoxine and cobalamin) proved the deficiency of these items in patients and families, denouncing nutritional deficiency. Discusses the hypothesis that hipomanganesemia is directly related to low activity of IDS enzyme. The hypovitaminosis B6 and B12, in turn, can be related to hiperhomocistinemia / hypomethylation and changes in the methylation pattern of the IDS gene, further modifying gene expression and phenotypic defining multiple frames. This study advances the understanding of epigenetic accustomed processes to Hunter syndrome and justifies the development of new research in which a broader approach to validate low-cost therapeutic measures that are established in early childhood, pre-symptomatic, may prove to be able to modify the natural history of the disease to ensure greater efficiency of enzyme therapy and more favorable clinical outcome. / A Síndrome de Hunter ou Mucopolissacaridose II representa um dos sete tipos de MPSs, doenças de depósito lisossômico inseridas no universo dos erros inatos do metabolismo. Mutações no gene iduronato-2-sulfatase (IDS) causam deficiência da atividade da enzima homônima e definem o acúmulo de GAGsheparan e dermatan sulfato nos lisossomos, levando à disfunção de células, tecidos e órgãos e manifestações clínicas de ampla variedade fenotípica. As medidas da expressão do gene IDS em leucócitos através da PCR em tempo real, avaliadas pelos valores relativos de cDNA, foram baixas em todos os cinco pacientes amazonenses, em testes repetidos,inclusive no indivíduo com clínica sugestiva e sem comprovação bioquímica.O sequenciamento parcial do DNA genômico por escolha do éxon 9, região sede da maioria das mutações em pacientes brasileiros,ao constatar a presença de mutação pontual em todos os pacientes estudados, permitiu questionar o status de padrão ouro das dosagens bioquímicas da enzima IDS para o diagnóstico. O emprego da PCR real time, via análise de fusão de alta resolução (HRM), mostrou-se útil para a identificação das mulheres portadoras do alelo mutante. Sequenciamento e HRM devem ser inseridos no fluxograma para a confirmação da doença com as vantagens da precisão do diagnóstico precoce e do aconselhamento genético em bases mais científicas. As dosagens plasmáticas de manganês (Mn++) e de vitaminas do complexo B (piridoxina e cobalamina) comprovaram a deficiência desses itens em pacientes e familiares, denunciando carência nutricional. Discute-se a hipótese de que a hipomanganesemia esteja diretamente relacionada à baixa atividade da enzima IDS. As hipovitaminoses B6 e B12, por sua vez, podem estar relacionadas à hiperhomocistinemia/hipometilação e alterações no padrão de metilação do gene IDS, modificando ainda mais a expressão do gene e definindo quadros fenotípicos múltiplos. Este estudo avança no entendimento dos processos epigenéticosafeitos à síndrome de Hunter e justifica o empreendimento de novas pesquisas, nas quais uma abordagem mais ampla possa validar medidas terapêuticas de baixo custo que se instituídas em idade mais tenra,pré-sintomática,podem revelar-se capazes de modificar a história natural da doença aogarantir maior eficiência da terapia enzimática e evolução clínica mais favorável.

Humans permanently occupied the Andean highlands by at least 7 ka

Haas, Randall, Stefanescu, Ioana C., Garcia-Putnam, Alexander, Aldenderfer, Mark S., Clementz, Mark T., Murphy, Melissa S., Llave, Carlos Viviano, Watson, James T. 28 June 2017 (has links)
High-elevation environments above 2500 metres above sea level (m.a.s.l.) were among the planet's last frontiers of human colonization. Research on the speed and tempo of this colonization process is active and holds implications for understanding rates of genetic, physiological and cultural adaptation in our species. Permanent occupation of high-elevation environments in the Andes Mountains of South America tentatively began with hunter-gatherers around 9 ka according to current archaeological estimates, though the timing is currently debated. Recent observations on the archaeological site of Soro Mik'aya Patjxa (8.0-6.5 ka), located at 3800 m.a.s.l. in the Andean Altiplano, offer an opportunity to independently test hypotheses for early permanent use of the region. This study observes low oxygen (delta O-18) and high carbon (delta C-13) isotope values in human bone, long travel distances to low-elevation zones, variable age and sex structure in the human population and an absence of non-local lithic materials. These independent lines of evidence converge to support a model of permanent occupation of high elevations and refute logistical and seasonal use models. The results constitute the strongest empirical support to date for permanent human occupation of the Andean highlands by hunter-gatherers before 7 ka.

Analysis of Hunter Characteristics and Attitudes Relating to Utah Shooting Preserves

Ratti, John T. 01 May 1973 (has links)
This paper evaluates the present status of Utah shooting preserves with special reference to attitudes and characteristics of hunters using and not using the shooting preserves system. Data were gathered primarily by a mail questionnaire survey. Compared to non-users, shooting preserve users were more frequently raised in a suburban or city area, better educated, and had higher yearly incomes. Shooting preserve users were commonly employed as professionals or proprietors, while non-users were often employed as craftsmen, proprietors, or operators. Most shooting preserve hunters hunted after the state game bird season was closed, and were generally satisfied with Utah preserves. Most hunters not using shooting preserves were very critical of the system, and claimed they would never hunt on a preserve. However, most non-users knew little about shooting preserves and were interested in having information about preserves in Utah. It was concluded that Utah shooting preserves should advertise their service, supply desired facilities, avoid crowding, keep grounds neat and clean, and stock only strong, healthy pheasants.
