  • EXTENDED CARRIER SCREENING Peace of Mind for Planned Pregnancies
    Focusing on Personalised Medicine EXTENDED CARRIER SCREENING Peace of Mind for Planned Pregnancies Extended carrier screening is an important tool for prospective parents to help them determine their risk of having a child affected with a heritable disease. In many cases, parents aren’t aware they are carriers and have no family history due to the rarity of some diseases in the general population. What is covered by the screening? Genomics For Life offers a comprehensive Extended Carrier Screening test, providing prospective parents with the information they require when planning their pregnancy. Extended Carrier Screening has been shown to detect carriers who would not have been considered candidates for traditional risk- based screening. With a simple mouth swab collection, we are able to test for over 419 genes associated with inherited diseases, including Fragile X Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis and Spinal Muscular Atrophy. The assay has been developed in conjunction with clinical molecular geneticists, and includes genes listed in the NIH Genetic Test Registry. For a list of genes and disorders covered, please see the reverse of this brochure. If your gene of interest is not covered on our Extended Carrier Screening panel, please contact our friendly team to assist you in finding a gene test panel that suits your needs. Why have Extended Carrier Screening? Extended Carrier Screening prior to pregnancy enables couples to learn about their reproductive risk and consider a complete range of reproductive options, including whether or not to become pregnant, whether to use advanced reproductive technologies, such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, or to use donor gametes.

  • Examining the Role of ABC Lipid Transporters in Pulmonary Lipid Homeostasis and Inflammation Amanda B
    Chai et al. Respiratory Research (2017) 18:41 DOI 10.1186/s12931-017-0526-9 REVIEW Open Access Examining the role of ABC lipid transporters in pulmonary lipid homeostasis and inflammation Amanda B. Chai1, Alaina J. Ammit2,3* and Ingrid C. Gelissen1 Abstract Respiratory diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are characterised by excessive and persistent inflammation. Current treatments are often inadequate for symptom and disease control, and hence new therapies are warranted. Recent emerging research has implicated dyslipidaemia in pulmonary inflammation. Three ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are found in the mammalian lung – ABCA1, ABCG1 and ABCA3 – that are involved in movement of cholesterol and phospholipids from lung cells. The aim of this review is to corroborate the current evidence for the role of ABC lipid transporters in pulmonary lipid homeostasis and inflammation. Here, we summarise results from murine knockout studies, human diseases associated with ABC transporter mutations, and in vitro studies. Disruption to ABC transporter activity results in lipid accumulation and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines in lung tissue. Furthermore, these ABC-knockout mice exhibit signs of respiratory distress. ABC lipid transporters appear to have a crucial and protective role in the lung. However, our knowledge of the underlying molecular mechanisms for these benefits requires further attention. Understanding the relationship between cholesterol and inflammation in the lung, and the role that ABC transporters play in this may illuminate new pathways to target for the treatment of inflammatory lung diseases. Keywords: ABC transporters, ABCA1, ABCG1, ABCA3, Lipids, Surfactant, Pulmonary inflammation Background lung tissue of patients with COPD [5].

ABCB4 is the liver-specific membrane transporter of phosphatidylcholine, a major and exclusive component of mammalian bile. The disease is characterized by early onset of cholestasis with high serum c-glutamyltranspeptidase activity, which progresses into cirrhosis and liver failure before adulthood. Presently, about 20 distinct ABCB4 mutations associated to PFIC3 have been described. We report the molecular characterization of 68 PFIC3 index cases enrolled in a multicenter study, which represents the largest cohort of PFIC3 patients screened for ABCB4 mutations to date. We observed 31 mutated ABCB4 alleles in 18 index cases with 29 distinct mutations, 25 of which are novel. Despite the lack of structural information on the ABCB4 protein, the elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of bacterial homolog allows the three-dimensional model of ABCB4 to be built by homology modeling and the position of the mutated amino-acids in the protein tertiary structure to be located.

  • ABCB7 Gene ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily B Member 7
    ABCB7 gene ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 7 Normal Function The ABCB7 gene provides instructions for making a protein known as an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. ABC transporter proteins carry many types of molecules across membranes in cells. The ABCB7 protein is located in the inner membrane of cell structures called mitochondria. Mitochondria are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities, including energy production, chemical signaling, and regulation of cell growth and division. In the mitochondria of developing red blood cells (erythroblasts), the ABCB7 protein plays a critical role in the production of heme. Heme contains iron and is a component of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in the blood. The ABCB7 protein is also involved in the formation of certain proteins containing clusters of iron and sulfur atoms (Fe-S clusters). Researchers suspect that the ABCB7 protein transports Fe-S clusters from mitochondria, where they are formed, to the surrounding cellular fluid (cytosol), where they can be incorporated into proteins. Overall, researchers believe that the ABCB7 protein helps maintain an appropriate balance of iron (iron homeostasis) in developing red blood cells. Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes X-linked sideroblastic anemia and ataxia At least three mutations in the ABCB7 gene have been identified in people with X-linked sideroblastic anemia with ataxia. Each of these mutations changes a single protein building block (amino acid) in the ABCB7 protein, slightly altering its structure. These changes disrupt the protein's usual role in heme production and iron homeostasis. Anemia results when heme cannot be produced normally, and therefore not enough hemoglobin is made.

Most are half transporters of the B group forming homodimers and their topology suggests they function as exporters. The results of mutant studies point towards involvement in iron cofactor biosynthesis. In particular, ABC subfamily B member 7 (ABCB7) and its homologues in yeast and plants are required for iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster biosynthesis outside of the mitochondria, whereas ABCB10 is involved in haem biosynthesis. They also play a role in preventing oxidative stress. Mutations in ABCB6 and ABCB7 have been linked to human disease. Recent crystal structures of yeast Atm1 and human ABCB10 have been key to identifying substrate-binding sites and transport mechanisms. Combined with in vitro and in vivo studies, progress is being made to find the physiological substrates of the different mitochondrial ABC transporters.

Several ABCA genes are causatively linked to inborn diseases, and the role in cancer progression and metastasis is studied intensively. The regulation of translation initiation is implicated as the major mechanism in the processes of post-transcriptional modifications determining final protein levels. In the current bioinformatics study, we mapped the features of the 50 untranslated regions (50UTR) known to have the potential to regulate translation, such as the length of 50UTRs, upstream ATG codons, upstream open-reading frames, introns, RNA G-quadruplex-forming sequences, stem loops, and Kozak consensus motifs, in the DNA sequences of all members of the subfamily. Subsequently, the conservation of the features, correlations among them, ribosome profiling data as well as protein levels in normal human tissues were examined. The 50UTRs of ABCA genes contain above-average numbers of upstream ATGs, open-reading frames and introns, as well as conserved ones, and these elements probably play important biological roles in this subfamily, unlike RG4s.

Kaminski,1 Juurgen€ J. Wenzel, Thomas Langmann, and Gerd Schmitz* Institute for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, University of Regensburg, Franz-Josef-Strauß-Allee 11, D-93042, Regensburg, Germany Received 25 May 2002 Abstract We recently identified a novel ABC A subclass transporter, ABCA6, in human macrophages. Here, we report the molecular cloning of an additional ABC A subfamily transporter from macrophages denoted ABCA9. The identified coding sequence is 4.9 kb in size and codes for a 1624 amino acid protein product. In accordance with the proposed nomenclature, the novel transporter was designated ABCA9. The putative full-length ABC transporter polypeptide consists of two transmembrane domains and two nu- cleotide binding folds and thus conforms to the group of full-size ABC transporters. We identified alternative ABCA9 mRNA variants in human macrophages that predict the existence of three truncated forms of the novel transporter. Among the human ABC A subfamily transporters, ABCA9 exhibits the highest amino acid sequence homology with ABCA8 (72%) and ABCA6 (60%), respectively. The striking amino acid sequence similarity between these transporter molecules supports the notion that they represent an evolutionary more recently emerged subgroup within the family of ABC A transporters, which we refer to as ‘‘ABCA6-like transporters.’’ ABCA9 mRNA is ubiquitously expressed with the highest mRNA levels in heart, brain, and fetal tissues.
