Retinoic acid, which has been prescribed for some forms of acne since 1962, is subject to isomerization provoked by atmospheric oxygen and ambient light. Therefore it is very important to keep this material intact through the use of antioxidants. We tested two antioxidants: various concentrations of butylhydroxytoluene or BHT, widely used in cosmetic and dermatological preparations, and vitamin E, found in grape oil, an ingredient of skin lotion. Recently prepared lotions were subject to heat stress and the residual concentrations of retinoic acid determined at predetermined intervals through UV spectrophotometry. The shelf life of the various preparations were determined by the Arrhenius equation. The antioxidants helped conserve the retinoic acid, however, there was no synergism in antioxidant activity between the vitamin E in the grape seed oil and BHT.

Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a complex disorder whose clinical features include mild to severe intellectual disability with speech delay, growth failure, brachycephaly, flat midface, short broad hands, and behavioral problems. SMS is typically caused by a large deletion on 17p11.2 that encompasses multiple genes including the retinoic acid induced 1, RAI1, gene or a mutation in the RAI1 gene. Here we have evaluated 30 patients with suspected SMS and identified SMS-associated classical 17p11.2 deletions in six patients, an atypical deletion of ∼139 kb that partially deletes the RAI1 gene in one patient, and RAI1 gene nonsynonymous alterations of unknown significance in two unrelated patients. The RAI1 mutant proteins showed no significant alterations in molecular weight, subcellular localization and transcriptional activity. Clinical features of patients with or without 17p11.2 deletions and mutations involving the RAI1 gene were compared to identify phenotypes that may be useful in diagnosing patients with SMS. © 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved.
