Note from the editor: A large number of new CALLs for collaborations, information and inquiries about literature and upcoming congresses, etc; all from Jan 1996. Please reply to these CALLs by private E-mail, unless your reply is of general interest for the HUM-MOLGEN community. Good CALLs ! Arthur Bergen ********************************************************************** This message was originally submitted by Dorothy_Pennachio@MEDEC.COM to the HUM-MOLGEN list at NIC.SURFNET.NL. For two upcoming articles in Patients care magazine about colorectal cancer screening and one on CRC treatment, I would appreciate information from HUM-MOLGEN subscribers regarding those subjects. Patient Care is published by Medical Economics Co. in Montvale, N.J., and is read by primary care physicians nationwide. Those readers would be interested in learning about progress being made in the area of colorectal cancer genetic research. Thank you for any information you might send on.

Dear Sir/Madam, I recently received the information sheet on the European Workshop on Quality Assesment. It has for some time been a worrying aspect of the service we offer in our lab that we do not have some means of recognised quality assesment. We are involved in DNA differential diagnostic and predictive testing on FAP, HD, CF, Fra(X), Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) and Leber's heriditry optic neuropathy. It is also hoped to be able to offer both diagnostic and predictive DNA testing for Porphyria Variegata and SMA. We are therefore anxious to partake in a recognised quality assesment to ensure a quality service to the community we serve. Considering the above, I would like to enquire if any participation from countries outside the UK and European centres has been considered and if there is any place for these centres in this quality assesment initiative. Could you please foreward any relevant information. Thank you. Dr. M.P.

They have identified several families with the following disorders: 1) Dwarfism with multiple bone abnormalities (autosomal dominant) 2) Multiple exocytosis (autosomal recessive) two families 3) Mental retardation (X linked). More than 50 members affected and living in one village. 4) A new type of anodantia (autosomal recessive) 5) Nail abnormalities 6) Alopecia (autosomal recessive) There are more than 15 affecteds in each family.

Thanks for your attention Ana Margarida Ianhes **************************************************************************** Date: Wed, 31 Jan 1996 09:32:17 -0500 From: Julio Licinio <licinio@NIH.GOV> This message was originally submitted by licinio@NIH.GOV to the HUM-MOLGEN list at NIC.SURFNET.NL. Dear colleagues in molecular genetics: I would like to inform you of of the launching of Molecular Psychiatry, published by Stockton Press, the publisher of Nature. This is their first publication in psychiatry/neuroscience. Our inaugural issue (January/February 1996) is in press. Five full-page ads for Molecular Psychiatry have appeared in Nature, the last of which came out on November 2 (North American edition) as well as in the British Journal of Pharmacology. A new ad will appear in Nature Medicine in February, 1996. We are actively seeking high quality original research articles, particularly those in the area of human molecular genetics. All papers submitted to Molecular Psychiatry are reviewed within three weeks, and if accepted they are rapidly published. I would like to bring to your attention the fact that to ensure very fast publication of outstanding data we created a novel section, "Immediate Communications," for complete studies (neither preliminary results nor pilot data are acceptable for this section) of exceptional significance, novelty and high merit. Those will be stringently reviewed within one week of submission, and will be published within 3-8 weeks of receipt of manuscript in our office. This represents the fastest publication outlet in the field and should be ideal for data that need to be published right away. For further information, please contact me (Julio Licinio; e-mail address: licinio@nih.gov). Sincerely, Julio Licinio, M.D. Editor Molecular Psychiatry Julio Licinio, M.D. Clinical Neuroendocrinology Branch, NIMH, NIH Bldg. 10, Rm. 3S231, 10 Center Drive, MSC 1284 Bethesda, MD 20892-1284 Phone: (301) 496-6885; FAX: (301) 402-1561 e-mail: licinio@nih.gov ********************************************************************** Date: Wed, 31 Jan 1996 18:13:11 +0100 From: Mariano ROCCHI <e013mr02@AREA.BA.CNR.IT> Subject: chromosome 2 library This message was originally submitted by e013mr02@AREA.BA.CNR.IT to the HUM-MOLGEN list at NIC.SURFNET.NL.
