Abstract
Recently, the rs1042713 G > A and rs1042714 C > G polymorphisms in the beta-2
adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene were shown to be related to atherosclerosis
diseases. Therefore, we performed a systemic meta-analysis to determine whether the
two functional polymorphisms are related to the risk of myocardial infarction (MI)
and coronary artery disease (CAD). We identified published studies that are relevant
to our topic of interest. Seven case-control studies, with a total of 6,843 subjects,
were incorporated into the current meta-analysis. Our analysis showed a higher
frequency of rs1042713 G > A variant in patients with MI or CAD compared to
healthy controls. A similar result was also obtained with the rs1042714 C > G
variant under both the allele and dominant models. Ethnicity-stratified subgroup
analysis suggested that the rs1042714 C > G variant correlated with an increased
risk of the two diseases in both Asians and Caucasians, while rs1042713 G > A only
contributes to the risk of two diseases in Asians. In the disease type-stratified
subgroups, the frequencies of both the rs1042713 G > A and rs1042714 C > G
variants were higher in the cases than in the controls in both the MI and CAD
subgroups. Collectively, our data contribute towards understanding the correlation
between the rs1042713 G > A and rs1042714 C > G polymorphisms in
ADRB2 and the susceptibility to MI and CAD.

Abstract
Polycystins-1, -2, -L, and -REJ are the four known members of the polycystin family of proteins. In this study, we describe a fifth member of the family, polycystin-L2, encoded by PKD2L2 in human and Pkd2l2 in mouse. Full-length cDNA sequences for both mouse and human polycystin-L2 were obtained from testis cDNA. Sequence analysis predicts that the mouse and human polycystin-L2 proteins consist of 621 and 624 amino acid residues, respectively. Polycystin-L2 has significant homology with polycystins-L and -2, with similarities of 58 and 59%, respectively. Both human and murine polycystin-L2 proteins are predicted to have seven putative transmembrane (TM) domains, and, by comparison with transient receptor potential channels, the six carboxyl-terminal TM domains are likely to constitute an ion channel subunit. Northern blot analysis indicated that mouse Pkd2l2 has an abundant approximately 2.5-kb transcript in testis and an approximately 2.2-kb transcript in heart. RT-PCR analysis showed that the full-length transcript is expressed in human brain, kidney, testis, and HepG2 cells, and there are three alternatively spliced variants that were differentially expressed. PKD2L2 consists of 17 exons spanning approximately 50 kb of genomic DNA. PKD2L2 was mapped to human chromosome 5q31 and Pkd2l2 to mouse chromosome 18 in band C.

Abstract
We have constructed a high-resolution map of a 6-Mb interval of human chromosome 5, band q31, incorporating 175 sequence tagged sites, of which 33 are genetic polymorphisms and 122 are nonredundant expressed sequences. The map was assembled initially as a YAC contig, incorporating data from radiation hybrid maps. To improve resolution and to identify errors in the databases, a radiation hybrid breakpoint map was developed for the interval, which included hybrids from both Stanford G3 and GeneBridge 4 panels. This novel approach facilitated the integration of one RH panel with another and enabled the identification and localization of new, previously unmapped ESTs from the radiation hybrid databases. ESTs were assembled into overlapping transcription units and ordered with respect to polymorphic markers in the region, resulting in a comprehensive map that incorporates markers from multiple different types of maps. This map of 5q31 will facilitate gene discovery efforts for several disorders, including limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1A and the genes deleted in acute myeloid leukemias and myelodysplasia. The study demonstrates the utility of a radiation hybrid breakpoint panel for correction of map errors and for the efficient identification of new transcript units in a large genomic interval.

Abstract
In order to contribute to the study of the molecular basis of leukemic cellular resistance to the induction of differentiation by all-trans retinoic acid (RA) we have generated and analyzed a mutant, RA-resistant HL-60 cell line. Molecular analysis of the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARalpha) cDNA disclosed, in one of the two alleles, a novel mutation consisting of a 7-base deletion in the ligand binding domain that includes part of a FokI restriction endonuclease site previously described. As a consequence of this deletion and translational frame-shift, a stop signal is created that truncates the protein at codon 421, disrupting an essential functional component of the receptor. Transducing an epitope tagged RARalpha into the mutant is sufficient to inhibit clonal growth in the presence of RA. Standard cytogenetic analysis, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis revealed the presence of two RARalpha loci, and showed a composite karyotype with additional abnormalities with respect to the parental line, including a chromosome 8 insertion in a chromosome previously known as marker three.

Abstract
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1A (LGMD1A) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by progressive weakness of the hip and shoulder girdle. The gene for LGMD1A had been localized to a 7-cM interval at 5q31 in a single large family (Family 39). To refine the localization of LGMD1A further and to aid in its identification, a high-resolution physical map of the locus was used to identify and provisionally localize 25 polymorphic markers. A subset of these markers was then ordered genetically, using a CEPH meiotic breakpoint panel, resulting in an integrated physical-genetic map of the locus. Relevant markers were genotyped on the members of Family 39 who contained informative recombination events, resulting in a further narrowing of LGMD1A to an interval bounded by D5S479 and D5S594, estimated to be 2 Mb in size. Integration of the genetic and physical map permits the identification of several transcription units from within the narrowed LGMD1A interval, including one that is muscle specific, representing candidate genes for this familial dystrophy.

Abstract
Loss of a whole chromosome 5 or a deletion of its long arm (5q) is a recurring abnormality in malignant myeloid neoplasms. To determine the location of genes on 5q that may be involved in leukemogenesis, we examined the deleted chromosome 5 homologs in a series of 135 patients with malignant myeloid diseases. By comparing the breakpoints, we identified a small segment of 5q, consisting of band 5q31, that was deleted in each patient. This segment has been termed the critical region. Distal 5q contains a number of genes encoding growth factors, hormone receptors, and proteins involved in signal transduction or transcriptional regulation. These include several genes that are good candidates for a tumor-suppressor gene, as well as the genes encoding five hematopoietic growth factors (CSF2, IL3, IL4, IL5, and IL9). By using fluorescence in situ hybridization, we have refined the localization of these genes to 5q31.1 and have determined the order of these genes and of other markers within 5q31. By hybridizing probes to metaphase cells with overlapping deletions involving 5q31, we have narrowed the critical region to a small segment of 5q31 containing the EGR1 gene. The five hematopoietic growth factor genes and seven other genes are excluded from this region. The EGR1 gene was not deleted in nine other patients with acute myeloid leukemia who did not have abnormalities of chromosome 5. By physical mapping, the minimum size of the critical region was estimated to be 2.8 megabases. This cytogenetic map of 5q31, together with the molecular characterization of the critical region, will facilitate the identification of a putative tumor-suppressor gene in this band.
