HUM-MOLGEN archive: CALL: various

New Calls! about diseases, collaboration on BIOMED-2, help and info needed and offered. A little late this month, but this editor needs some sleep, too; every now and then. -:) Best regards; Good CALLs!

The locus on the X chromosome for this condition has not been mapped. This family is too small for an independent linkage study but would be suitable for inclusion in a larger study. Is anyone interested in such a study? We could supply either DNA or lab resources on a collaborative basis. Yours sincerely, Graeme Suthers. ________________________________________________________________________ Dr Graeme Suthers SA Clinical Genetics Service Centre for Medical Genetics Women's & Children's Hospital North Adelaide SA 5006 AUSTRALIA tel (08) 204 7375 (International prefix -61-8-) fax (08) 204 6088 (International prefix -61-8-) email suthersg@wch.sa.gov.au (Using MSmail) >> Please note new email address << ************************************************************ >From tesrob@FLASHNET.ITWed May 15 15:18:30 1996 Date: Wed, 03 Apr 1996 13:26:53 +0200 From: Roberto Testi <tesrob@FLASHNET.IT> Subject: CALL Resent-Date: Wed, 03 Apr 1996 13:26:53 +0200 Resent-From: owner-ed-molgen@HEARN.NIC.SURFNET.NL Resent-To: A.A.Bergen@AMC.UVA.NL tesrob@flashnet.it (Roberto Testi) sent the following comments: ------------------------------------------------------------ We would be interested in participating to new networks planning to apply for European Community funding within the BIOMED 2 programme (next deadlines June 17 and December 17). Our expertise is in the area of intracellular signal transduction, particularly concerning cellular apoptosis. You may want to check our Lab Home Page to find out more about our interests and resources at: WWW.UTOVRM.IT/~FORMICA/WEB_ MEDICINA/HOME.HTML *******************************************************************- Does anyone know about the segregation pattern of autism` disorders? Many parents of affected kids dont display the syndrome, is it recesive or may be a case of penetration? We would like to come in contact with some research teams working on the GENETIC side of autism and related disorders. Thanks P.

As I was not able to find this information in either MEDLINE or Internet, this is my last chance to get it. Therefore, please do not hesitate to disperse my letter to the HUM-MOLGEN subscribers. With best regards Sincerely yours Piotr Kusnierczyk ************************************************************************ steina@ismennt.is (Steinunn Thorlacius) sent the following comments: ------------------------------------------------------------ I need to know the "impact factor" of some journals. Do you know if that information is avaliable on the net? Very few journals include this information on their www-homepages.

We would like to extend a formal invitation to your laboratory or research center to participate in the Collaborative Prospective Study of the Fragile X Syndrome. This project is funded by NIH through a grant to the primary investigator, Dr. Stephanie Sherman at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. The purpose of the study is to collect data on transmissions of FMR-1 from known Fragile X carriers. Moreover, this data set provides an excellent opportunity to determine factors that may influence the expansion of the CGG repeat in FMR-1 that is responsible for the Fragile X Syndrome. Participation in the study requires completion of a submission form on each carrier parent to offspring transmission. The form requests data on DNA results for both the carrier parent and the offspring, as well as a pedigree. The testing is performed at your laboratory. We do not perform the carrier testing at our laboratory. Moreover, we do not request names of the family members. We need only identification numbers. Thus, there are no issues concerning patient confidentiality. If your laboratory or research center performs prenatal testing for the Fragile X Syndrome and/or has prospective livebirth cases, please take this opportunity to contribute to an international research project. Please contact Allison Ashley by phone at (404) 727-9396 or by e-mail at aashley@gmm.gen.emory.edu if you are interested in participating in this study. ************************************************************************* Hi everybody, I am M.Sc student in Genetics.My thesis is on F VIII gene.I have studied several articels written by Dr Jane Gitshier (University of California,Department of medicin).
