HUM-MOLGEN archive: CALL: various november 1996

New CALLs; a diversity of issues, calls and offers for information, collaboration and assitance. Please send high-quality messages only. Good CALLs Arthur Bergen ************************************************************************ From: c.finney@ic.ac.uk To: A.A.Bergen@AMC.UVA.NL Subject: Participation in genetic testing policy Dr Bergen, I believe that some subscribers of HUM-MOLGEN might be interested in the public consultation exercise described below. Although it takes place in the UK, the Advisory Committee has told me that they are interested in comments from anywhere in the world. If you know of anybody else who might be interested please pass the information on. Many thanks, Colin Finney Imperial College / Science Museum c.finney@ic.ac.uk 0171 938 9762 ---------------------------------------------------------- Please forward to interested individuals and mailing lists ---------------------------------------------------------- I have just received permission from the UK _Advisory Committee on Genetic Testing_ to open up their _Draft Code of Practice for Human Genetic Testing Offered Commercially Direct to the Public_ consultation exercise to the public. I have put the Draft code of practice on the Internet and set up a discussion forum for it. The ACGT has agreed to monitor the discussion and consider any comments made (regardless of where they originated) at their next meeting. This is a huge advance in what UK advisory committees usually do so I would like people to take advantage of it.

Something to do with therapy in Washington D.C. and a patient who had receved his 3rd course of treatment of surgery with chemotherapy. If you could find this info please send me the email message. Thanks. ************************************************************************ Reply-to: Human Molecular Genetics Editors <ED-MOLGEN@NIC.SURFNET.NL> From: "Pascal KAHLEM 42.17.68.03" <kahlemp@EXT.JUSSIEU.FR> Subject: Associations This message was originally submitted by kahlemp@EXT.JUSSIEU.FR to the HUM-MOLGEN list at NIC.SURFNET.NL. Sir, we are working on genetic neurodegenerative diseases such as DRPLA, SBMA, SCA 1, 2, 3, 7, and Huntington Chorea in France. We are looking for associations of patients for thoses diseases in the world. We already have found one in France that is "Association Huntington-France", but it is very difficult to search for those abroad. We would be pleased to be informed about any other organisation.

Dear Sir, I am a neurosurgeon of Beijing Tiantan Hospital. I am interested in etiology of intracranial aneurysm,I knew that many of aneurysm is congenital, and have a genetic trend. And in some aneurysm family, their serum lipoprotein(a) level is higher. The attack of aneurysm is also associated with human's food.In weatern country and Japan, the incident rate of aneurysm is high,but in China and other Eastern country, it was low. Now our research group want to do some study of it.Would you like to give me some useful information just like article, abstract or anything else. My address is : Zhao Yuanli M.D. Department of neurosurgery Beijing Tiantan Hospital Tiantanxili 6 Beijing, 100050 P.R.China E-mail address: zhaoyljt@public3.bta.net.cn thanks a lot.
