Abstract

The maintenance of normal body weight is disrupted in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) for prolonged periods of time. Prior to the onset of AN, premorbid body mass index (BMI) spans the entire range from underweight to obese. After recovery, patients have reduced rates of overweight and obesity. As such, loci involved in body weight regulation may also be relevant for AN and vice versa. Our primary analysis comprised a cross-trait analysis of the 1000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the lowest P-values in a genome-wide association meta-analysis (GWAMA) of AN (GCAN) for evidence of association in the largest published GWAMA for BMI (GIANT). Subsequently we performed sex-stratified analyses for these 1000 SNPs. Functional ex vivo studies on four genes ensued. Lastly, a look-up of GWAMA-derived BMI-related loci was performed in the AN GWAMA. We detected significant associations (P-values <5 × 10-5, Bonferroni-corrected P<0.05) for nine SNP alleles at three independent loci. Interestingly, all AN susceptibility alleles were consistently associated with increased BMI. None of the genes (chr. 10: CTBP2, chr. 19: CCNE1, chr. 2: CARF and NBEAL1; the latter is a region with high linkage disequilibrium) nearest to these SNPs has previously been associated with AN or obesity. Sex-stratified analyses revealed that the strongest BMI signal originated predominantly from females (chr. 10 rs1561589; Poverall: 2.47 × 10-06/Pfemales: 3.45 × 10-07/Pmales: 0.043). Functional ex vivo studies in mice revealed reduced hypothalamic expression of Ctbp2 and Nbeal1 after fasting. Hypothalamic expression of Ctbp2 was increased in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice as compared with age-matched lean controls. We observed no evidence for associations for the look-up of BMI-related loci in the AN GWAMA. A cross-trait analysis of AN and BMI loci revealed variants at three chromosomal loci with potential joint impact. The chromosome 10 locus is particularly promising given that the associa

Abstract

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a complex and heritable eating disorder characterized by dangerously low body weight. Neither candidate gene studies nor an initial genome-wide association study (GWAS) have yielded significant and replicated results. We performed a GWAS in 2907 cases with AN from 14 countries (15 sites) and 14 860 ancestrally matched controls as part of the Genetic Consortium for AN (GCAN) and the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium 3 (WTCCC3). Individual association analyses were conducted in each stratum and meta-analyzed across all 15 discovery data sets. Seventy-six (72 independent) single nucleotide polymorphisms were taken forward for in silico (two data sets) or de novo (13 data sets) replication genotyping in 2677 independent AN cases and 8629 European ancestry controls along with 458 AN cases and 421 controls from Japan. The final global meta-analysis across discovery and replication data sets comprised 5551 AN cases and 21 080 controls. AN subtype analyses (1606 AN restricting; 1445 AN binge-purge) were performed. No findings reached genome-wide significance. Two intronic variants were suggestively associated: rs9839776 (P = 3.01 × 10-7) in SOX2OT and rs17030795 (P = 5.84 × 10-6) in PPP3CA. Two additional signals were specific to Europeans: rs1523921 (P = 5.76 × 10-6) between CUL3 and FAM124B and rs1886797 (P = 8.05 × 10-6) near SPATA13. Comparing discovery with replication results, 76% of the effects were in the same direction, an observation highly unlikely to be due to chance (P = 4 × 10-6), strongly suggesting that true findings exist but our sample, the largest yet reported, was underpowered for their detection. The accrual of large genotyped AN case-control samples should be an immediate priority for the field. © 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved.

Abstract

The Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium 3 anorexia nervosa genome-wide association scan includes 2907 cases from 15 different populations of European origin genotyped on the Illumina 670K chip. We compared methods for identifying population stratification, and suggest list of markers that may help to counter this problem. It is usual to identify population structure in such studies using only common variants with minor allele frequency (MAF) >5%; we find that this may result in highly informative SNPs being discarded, and suggest that instead all SNPs with MAF >1% may be used. We established informative axes of variation identified via principal component analysis and highlight important features of the genetic structure of diverse European-descent populations, some studied for the first time at this scale. Finally, we investigated the substructure within each of these 15 populations and identified SNPs that help capture hidden stratification. This work can provide information regarding the designing and interpretation of association results in the International Consortia. © 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved.

Abstract

Interleukin 18 (IL18) is a proinflammatory cytokine whose levels are increased in the subclinical stage of insulin-dependent (type I) diabetes mellitus. Previous case-control studies have reported associations between IL18-607C>A and-137G>C promoter polymorphisms and type I diabetes. We performed case-control and family-based association studies employing Pyrosequencing to assess if these IL18 polymorphisms are also associated with the development of type I diabetes in the Northern Ireland population. The?2 analysis of genotype and allele frequencies for the IL18 polymorphisms in cases (n=433) vs controls (n=426) revealed no significant differences (P>0.05). Assessment of allele transmission distortion from informative parents to affected offspring also failed to confirm previously reported associations. Stratification of these analyses for age-at-onset and HLA-DR type did not reveal any significance associations. In conclusion, our data do not support the strong positive associations of IL18 promoter polymorphisms with type I diabetes reported in previous smaller studies.Genes and Immunity (2005) 6, 171-174. doi:10.1038/sj.gene.6364161 Published online 23 December 2004 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

31. Improved prognosis for congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type in Irish families

Abstract

Congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type is a rare autosomal recessive disease with a high infant mortality without aggressive treatment. The biochemical basis of the disease is not understood fully but the disease locus has been mapped recently to chromosome 19q12-q13.1 in Finnish families. This paper describes the clinical features and outcome of 20 patients in Ireland with congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type who have presented since 1980. Before 1987, all infants died by the age of 3 years. After the introduction of daily intravenous albumin infusion, nutritional support, elective bilateral nephrectomy, and renal transplantation, mortality in the past decade has fallen to 30%, with no deaths in the past five years. Genetic linkage analysis was performed in six families in whom DNA was available and the locus responsible was mapped to the same region on chromosome 19 as in Finnish families, suggesting that Irish families share the same disease locus.

Abstract

We have investigated the relationship between erythropoietin (Epo) and pH, PaO2 and haematocrit in 100 cord blood samples obtained at Caesarean section prior to labour. Of 82 term ( > 37 weeks) infants, 64 were appropriately grown (10th–90th centiles), and their mean cord serum Epo and cord blood Epo was 23 ± 8 mU/ml (mean ± SD). Strong inverse correlations were found between cord serum Epo and cord blood pH (r = ––0.74; p < 0.0001), and between cord serum Epo and cord blood PaO2 ( r = ––0.55; p < 0.0001), but not between cord serum Epo and cord haematocrit (r = 0.02; p < 0.9). For the 18 preterm babies (gestation 32.4 ± 4.1 weeks, birth weight 1,820 ± 476 g), the Epo level was 36 ± 8 mU/ml, which was not significantly greater than for the term babies. Strong inverse correlations were again found between Epo and pH (r= ––0.87; p < 0.0001) and Epo and PaO2 (r = ––0.69; p < 0.002). Babies from complicated pregnancies (intra-uterine growth retardation, pre-eclampsia, antepartum haemorrhage, diabetes mellitus and fetal distress) tended to have higher Epo levels. Thirteen babies had Epo levels > 40 mU/ml, and 11 (85%) of these required neonatal intensive care. Cord serum Epo correlates better with oxygen tension and pH at birth than with fetal growth and haematocrit, which are measures of chronic stress to the fetus.

34. The application of neural networks to size analysis of material on conveyors.

Author

Maxwell A.P., Denby B., Miles N.J., Maxwell A.P., Denby B., and Miles N.J.

Abstract

The construction of an on-line size analysis system using neural networks is described. A PC-based Image Profile Analysis System was developed to pre-process image data and create data sets for experimenting with external neural network packages. The system allows the analysis of real images obtained by image capture and images created by an in-built simulator. A measurement comparison was also included together with a case study concerned with the frequency analysis of simulated images. The power of neural networks combined with the data compression provided by profiling removes the need for direct measurement of individual particles. This has obvious implications for the level of hardware necessary and the expense of a stand-alone system. The extrusive nature of data collection via an image analysis system also permits simple installation of a shipped system. This eliminates the need for interference with existing machinery., The construction of an on-line size analysis system using neural networks is described.

The European Working Group for Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) and Foundations for the National Institute of Health (FNIH) have developed criteria for the assessment of sarcopenia, including the use of non-invasive techniques such as bioelectrical impedance assessment (BIA), anthropometry, and hand grip strength (HGS) dynamometry. This study investigated the prevalence of muscle wasting, weakness, and sarcopenia using the EWGSOP and FNIH criteria. METHODS: BIA was performed in 24 females (f) and 63 males (m) in the post-dialysis period. Total skeletal muscle mass and appendicular skeletal muscle mass were estimated and index values (i.e., muscle mass divided by height2 [kg/m2]) were calculated (Total Skeletal Muscle Index (TSMI) and Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Index (ASMI)). Mid-arm circumference and triceps skin-fold thickness were measured and mid-upper arm muscle circumference (MUAMC) calculated. HGS was measured using a standard protocol and Jamar dynamometer. Suggested cut-points for low muscle mass and grip strength were utilized using the EWGSOP and FNIH criteria with prevalence estimated, including sarcopenia. RESULTS: The prevalence varied depending on methodology: low TSMI (moderate and severe sarcopenia combined) was 55% for whole group: 21% (f) and 68% (m). Low ASMI was 32% for whole group: 25% (f) and 35% (m). Low MUAMC was 25% for whole group: 0% (f) and 30% (m). ASMI highly correlated with Body Mass Index (r = 0.78, P < .001) and MUAMC (r = 0.68, P < .001). Muscle weakness was high regardless of cut-points used (50-71% (f); 60-79% (m)). CONCLUSIONS: Internationally, this is the first study comparing measures of muscle mass (TSMM and ASMM by BIA and MUAMC) and muscle strength (HGS) using this specific methodology in a hemodialysis population. Future work is required to confi

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Surveys using traditional measures of nutritional status indicate that muscle wasting is common among persons with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Up to 75% of adults undergoing maintenance dialysis show some evidence of muscle wasting. ESKD is associated with an increase in inflammatory cytokines and can result in cachexia, with the loss of muscle and fat stores. At present, only limited data are available on the classification of wasting experienced by persons with ESKD. Individuals with ESKD often exhibit symptoms of anorexia, loss of lean muscle mass and altered energy expenditure. These symptoms are consistent with the syndrome of cachexia observed in other chronic diseases, such as cancer, heart failure, and acquired immune deficiency syndrome. While definitions of cachexia have been developed for some diseases, such as cardiac failure and cancer, no specific cachexia definition has been established for chronic kidney disease. The importance of developing a definition of cachexia in a population with ESKD is underscored by the negative impact that symptoms of cachexia have on quality of life and the association of cachexia with a substantially increased risk of premature mortality. The aim of this study is to determine the clinical phenotype of cachexia specific to individuals with ESKD. METHODS: A longitudinal study which will recruit adult patients with ESKD receiving haemodialysis attending a Regional Nephrology Unit within the United Kingdom. Patients will be followed 2 monthly over 12 months and measurements of weight; lean muscle mass (bioelectrical impedance, mid upper arm muscle circumference and tricep skin fold thickness); muscle strength (hand held dynamometer), fatigue, anorexia and quality of life collected. We will determine if they experience (and to what degree) the known characteristics associated with cachexia. DISCUSSION: Cachexia is a debilitating condition associated with an extremely poor outcome. Definitions of cachexia in c
