HETEROZYGOTES FOR ATYPICAL CHOLINESTERASE
Three hundred and thirty-two patients undergoing electroconvulsive therapy received thiopentone and suxamethonium. In 31 the duration of the apnoea was greater than an assumed upper limit of normal of 240 s. Eight of these patients proved, on biochemical grounds, to be heterozygotes for the atypical gene. The reason why the heterozygous state is rarely

Preliminary genetic evidence of two different populations of Opisthorchis viverrini in Lao PDR [PDF]
Opisthorchis viverrini is a major public health concern in Southeast Asia. Various reports have suggested that this parasite may represent a species complex, with genetic structure in the region perhaps being dictated by geographical factors and ...

Previously Identified Genetic Variants in ADGRL3 Are not Associated with Risk for Equine Degenerative Myeloencephalopathy across Breeds. [PDF]
Equine neuroaxonal dystrophy/equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (eNAD/EDM) is a neurologic disease that has been reported in young horses from a wide range of breeds. The disease is inherited and associated with vitamin E deficiency during the first

Independent associations of TOMM40 and APOE variants with body mass index [PDF]
The TOMM40-APOE variants are known for their strong, antagonistic associations with Alzheimer's disease and body weight. While a stronger role of the APOE than TOMM40 variants in Alzheimer's disease was suggested, comparative contribution of the TOMM40 ...

Genetic diversity and inbreeding in the Greek Skyros horse [PDF]
Inbreeding and heterozygosity levels were calculated in a population of 77 horses of the endangered Skyros breed that had been raised since 1988 at an experimental farm. Twenty one horses were inbred with average inbreeding coefficient of 0.11 (+/-0.02).

Detection of Phenylketonuric Heterozygotes
Abstract Estimation of plasma phenylalanine and tyrosine by an abridged (30 min) column chromatography procedure was assessed. Plasma phenylalanine and tyrosine concentrations, determined in 112 phenylketonuric obligate heterozygotes and in 88 normal controls, did not differ significantly from other reported series in which the data were
