Dear Colleague, We have identified a girl with classic Focal Dermal Hypoplasia (or Goltz syndrome). There is no evidence of an Xp22 deletion on conventional cytogenetics. We have established a fibroblast cell line from this child - is anyone interested in obtaining some cells for research purposes?

Much opposition has erupted re the Human Genome Diversity Project surrounding the commercialization of data collected. I call your group and others dedicated to analyzing the social and ethical issues of modern genetics to focus their efforts on patenting. Do you have any current info or knowledge of trends or precedents. Reply would be appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------ Server protocol: HTTP/1.0 Remote host: tsa-30.UCSC.EDU Remote IP address: 128.114.128.130 ********************************************************************** From: IN%"NAH4@aol.com" 28-MAY-1995 18:23:17.94 Subj: hemophilia I am doing research for a report on hemophilia. One of the requirements for the report is to find the exact gene that causes this disease. I've looked in several encyclopedias and can't find anything on this gene. Thank-you.

Subject: Time:10:54 AM OFFICE MEMO CALL,DIAG: Nonpolymorphic MspI probe Date:6/5/95 For Southern blot dosage studies on human genomic DNA we would like to combine with our test probe a second probe which detects a single nonpolymorphic MspI band of 3.5-6.0 kb to normalize results. Any suggestions regarding a suitable probe and where to obtain it would be welcome. Jeffrey Kant MD Univ.

Seeking researchers with access to lab facilities that would like to experiment with a mushroom species that is eaten with relish in Africa and is used in native medicine (a) internally to cure stomach aches, head aches, high blood pressure, fevers and other sympthoms; and (b) externally to relieve sympthoms causes by skin disorders. I am willing to provide *free* samples for research to institutes/universities seeking additional sources of compounds. Perhaps it might contain a new compound for fighting AIDS or other diseases. All I ask is that I be kept informed of results. Ralph Arnold rarnold@teleport.com *************************************************************************
