Effect of DLK1 and RTL1 but Not MEG3 or MEG8 on Muscle Gene Expression in Callipyge Lambs

Callipyge sheep exhibit extreme postnatal muscle hypertrophy in the loin and hindquarters as a result of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the imprinted DLK1-DIO3 domain on ovine chromosome 18. The callipyge SNP up-regulates the expression of surrounding transcripts when inherited in cis without altering their allele-specific imprinting status. The callipyge phenotype exhibits polar ove...

O-29: Aberrant Methylation of Lysine 9 on Histone 3 in PII Promoter of CYP19A1 Gene in Women with Endometriosis

Background Cytochrome aromatase p450, encoded by the gene CYP19A1, is a key enzyme for estrogen biosynthesis. Among the multiple promoters of CYP19A1, the proximal promoter PII is the most active ones in ovary and endometrium. Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen dependent gynecological condition characterized by the presence of ectopic glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Recently, evi...

Anesthetic management of an infant with giant abdominal neuroblastoma.

Neuroblastoma is the most common, non-central nervous system tumor of childhood. It has the potential to synthesize catecholamines. However, the presences of hypertension are uncommon. We report the perioperative management of a 15-month-old infant with giant abdominal neuroblastoma who presented severe hypertension. The pathophysiological alterations of neuroblastoma are reviewed and periopera...
