2. 1. Genetic markers in rheumatoid arthritis

   Author : Solbritt Rantapää Dahlqvist; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis; family history; genetic marker; HLA B27; HLA DR4; properdin factor B; C3 complement; -antitrypsin; haptoglobin; transferrin;

   Abstract : Genetic as well as environmental factors are believed to be of importance in the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There are a number of previous studies of genetic markers in RA, but so far no genetic linkage and only a few associations have been found. Of the associations only one (with the HLA antigen DR4) appears to be well documented. READ MORE

4. 2. Molecular epidemiology of streptococcus agalactiae : mobile elements as genetic markers

   Author : Shi-Lu Luan; Mari Norgren; Barbara Spellerberg; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Streptococcus agalactiae; group II intron GBSi1 ; multilocus sequence typing; capsular serotype; population structure; Clinical bacteriology; Klinisk bakteriologi;

   Abstract : Streptococcus agalactiae, also designated group B streptococcus (GBS), is a Gram-positive coccus, and it is an important pathogen that causes invasive disease in neonates, pregnant adults, and non-pregnant adults with predisposing conditions. The group II intron GBSi1 is one of the major mobile genetic elements identified in S. agalactiae. READ MORE

5. 3. Biochemical and genetic markers after subarachnoid haemorrhage

   Author : Ludvig Z Csajbok; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; subarachnoid haemorrhage; biochemical marker; genetic marker; outcome;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT Background: Subarachnoid haemorrhage is a devastating disease with high morbidity and mortality despite novel treatment options are available. There are no established methods to measure the brain damage occurring due to the bleed and its complications and to predict early neurological outcome of the disease. READ MORE

6. 4. Detecting Deletions by Analysis of Genetic Markers in Pedigrees

   Author : Anna Johansson; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cytogenetics; Genetik; Genetics; Biologi; genetic marker; pedigree; Protein S deficiency; Biology; PROS1; deletion; null allele; cytogenetik;

   Abstract : A deletion is defined as a missing piece of a chromosome, ranging in size from as small as a single base pair to as much as an entire arm of a chromosome. Deletions can cause diseases, but may also have a neutral effect in the genome. READ MORE

7. 5. Familial occurrence of abdominal aortic aneurysms

   Author : Örjan Norrgård; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Abdominal aortic aneurysms; familial occurrence; serum lipids and lipoproteins; genetic markers; morphology; collagen types; vimentin; desmin;

   Abstract : The occurrence of clinically diagnosed and/or ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in the families of 220 patients with AAAs, treated at the Surgical Clinic, University Hospital of Umeå in the northern part of Sweden during the years 1965-82, was studied. A questionnaire concerning the blood relatives was answered by 87/89 patients. READ MORE
