A family segregating for E1j and E1k at cholinesterase locus 1.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A family segregating for the A, J, and K alleles at cholinesterase locus 1 is described. Several further examples of the AJ and AK phenotypes occur in this family, and one member of the family, by genetic analysis, is phenotype JK. In relation to possible succinylcholine apnoea, phenotypes AJ, AK, and JK should all be considered vulnerable.

E1k, another quantitative variant at cholinesterase locus 1.
Two families segregating for the atypical (E1a) allele at cholinesterase locus 1 are described. Unusual results for dibucaine inhibition led to the recognition of a new allele (E1k) also segregating in these families. The enzymatic and immunological data are consistent with the hypothesis that E1k causes reduction of 'usual' (E1u) molecules by about 33%. Whether the reduction of E1u caused by E...
متن کاملE1j, a quantitative variant at cholinesterase locus 1: immunological evidence.
Sera of various phenotypes at serum cholinesterase locus 1, including the newly recognized phenotypes E1 aE1j, E1 uE1j, and E1 fE1J, were studied by immunodiffusion and rocket immunoelectrophoresis. The sera containing the E1j allele show reduced numbers of immunologically active cholinesterase molecules. This finding is consistent with the previously advanced hypothesis that E1j results in red...
متن کاملA PCR based method to determine the Kalow allele of the cholinesterase gene: the E1k allele frequency and its significance in the normal population.
The Kalow allele for cholinesterase is a quantitative variant of the usual gene and has been shown to result from a single base pair change in the DNA. A new method based on the polymerase chain reaction to distinguish Kalow alleles of the cholinesterase gene was developed. Using the amplification refractory mutagenesis system, two different reactions distinguished the presence of a guanine (no...
متن کاملGenetic variants of human serum cholinesterase influence metabolism of the muscle relaxant succinylcholine.
People with genetic variants of cholinesterase respond abnormally to succinylcholine, experiencing substantial prolongation of muscle paralysis with apnea rather than the usual 2-6 min. The structure of usual cholinesterase has been determined including the complete amino acid and nucleotide sequence. This has allowed identification of altered amino acids and nucleotides. The variant most frequ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Quercetin on Learning and Memory Deficit, Lipid Peroxidation, and Cholinesterase Activeity Following Lipopolysaccharide in the Rat
Background and Objective: Lipolysaccharide (LPS) is a large molecule isolated from bacteria such as the enterobacteriaceae family with a negative effect on memory and learning through disturbing the balance of free radicals and creating oxidative stress conditions. In this study, we evaluated the effect of quercetin on oxidative stress and LPS-induced memory impairment in the rat. Materials a...
