1. Presence of t(14;18) translocation in healthy individuals varies according to ethnic background in the Brazilian population
Several groups have demonstrated that healthy individuals can present the t(14;18) translocation. In this report, the presence of the translocation was examined in healthy blood donors in Brazil, a country considered an ethnic melting pot. The translocation was detected by nested PCR in 227 peripheral blood samples from individuals with different ethnic back

2. Descendência japonesa e o bom desempenho em matemática: uma reflexão sobre as causas. / Japanese descendants and the good perfomance in mathematis: a reflection about the causes.
The good performance of Japanese descendents in mathematics is not new to most of the people. Nevertheless, the interpretations about the causes of this result can be divergent. We start this research in order to demystify some conceptions about this theme. To base this intention, at first we looked for a collection of statistical data that characterized our

3. Body of memory / Corpo de memoria
O corpo é objeto de estudo em diferentes disciplinas, sendo compreendido de forma diferente em cada uma delas, abordado nos mais variados recortes de pesquisa. O corpo pode ser estritamente biológico, psicologicamente apreendido ou socialmente determinado, a depender do olhar que se lhe lança. O presente estudo, em sua novidade, objetiva abordá- pelo vi�

4. Deficiências concomitantes da proteína reguladora Fator H e do componente C9 do complemento. / Concomitant deficiences of complement factor H regulatory protein and C9 component.
Our proband, Brazilian from a family of Japanese descent and history of consanguinity, carries C9 (C9D) and FH deficiencies. He was referred with severe recurrent pneumonia. FH (16,8 µg/mL), C3 and FB were present in the patient at low levels. Western blot assays confirmed the complete absence of 150 kDa (FH). His mother also had FH (140,5 µg/mL), C3 and F

5. Viver num corpo estrangeiro: sentidos e significados do ter e ser um corpo oriental para adolescentes nikkeis insatisfeitos com suas fenotipias / Living in a foreign body
The purpose of this paper (research) is to analyze how one feels and what it means to be of Asian descent in Brazil for adolescents who are unhappy with their phenotypic characteristics. The fundamental phenotype of having "slanted eyes" denounces one as a foreigner in Brazil aside from the fact that one is indeed Brazilian. In his daily life, the Nikkei ado

6. Estudo molecular dos alelos DI A/DI B e da banda 3-memphis na população brasileira
The Diego blood group system consists of21 antigens located on band 3 of the red blood cell membrane. It includes the 4 antithetical antigens Dia / Dib and Wra / Wrb, and 17 low incidence antigens. The Dia phenotype results from a point mutation at nucleotide 2561 (T>C) leading to a single amino acid substitution from Leu (Dia) to Pro (Dib) in position 854.

7. Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 in coastal natives of British Columbia: phylogenetic affinities and possible origins.
Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection has been discovered recently in people of Amerindian descent living in coastal areas of British Columbia, Canada. DNA sequencing combined with phylogenetic analysis and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) typing of HTLV-1 strains recovered from these British Columbia Indians (BCI) was conducted

8. Characterisation of the unstable expanded CAG repeat in the MJD1 gene in four Brazilian families of Portuguese descent with Machado-Joseph disease
Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder which has been shown to result, in Japanese families, from the expansion of a CAG repeat in the MJD1 gene on chromosome 14q. We show that the same molecular mechanism is responsible for MJD in four large Brazilian kindreds of Portuguese descent. The behaviour of the mutation was

9. Gene conversion-like events cause steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency in congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Genomic DNAs from twelve Japanese patients with steroid 21-hydroxylase [21-OHase; steroid 21-monooxygenase; steroid, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (21-hydroxylating); EC 1.14.99.10] deficiency were analyzed by Southern blot hybridization. A 3.7-kilobase (kb) Taq I and a 1.7-kb Pvu II restriction endonuclease fragment that correspond to a 21-OHase B ge

10. Molecular basis of AMP deaminase deficiency in skeletal muscle.
AMP deaminase (AMPD; EC 3.5.4.6) is encoded by a multigene family in mammals. The AMPD1 gene is expressed at high levels in skeletal muscle, where this enzyme is thought to play an important role in energy metabolism. Deficiency of AMPD activity in skeletal muscle is associated with symptoms of a metabolic myopathy. Eleven unrelated individuals with AMPD def

11. A Polymorphism in the β1 Adrenergic Receptor Is Associated with Resting Heart Rate
Resting heart rate is significantly associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, the extent to which resting heart rate is genetically determined is poorly understood, and no genes have been found that contribute to variation in resting heart rate. Because signaling through the β1 adrenergic receptor is a key determinant of cardiac funct

12. The cag Pathogenicity Island of Helicobacter pylori Is Disrupted in the Majority of Patient Isolates from Different Human Populations
The cag pathogenicity island (cag-PAI) is one of the major virulence determinants of Helicobacter pylori. The chromosomal integrity of this island or the lack thereof is speculated to play an important role in the progress of the gastroduodenal pathology caused by H. pylori. We determined the integrity of the cag-PAI by using specific flanking and internally
