Tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from cerebral catecholamine deficiency. Tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency has been reported in fewer than 40 patients worldwide. To recapitulate all available evidence on clinical phenotypes and rational diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this devastating, but treatable, neurometabolic disorder, we studied 36 patients with tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency and reviewed the literature. Based on the presenting neurological features, tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency can be divided in two phenotypes: an infantile onset, progressive, hypokinetic-rigid syndrome with dystonia (type A), and a complex encephalopathy with neonatal onset (type B). Decreased cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of homovanillic acid and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylene glycol, with normal 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid cerebrospinal fluid concentrations, are the biochemical hallmark of tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency. The homovanillic acid concentrations and homovanillic acid/5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid ratio in cerebrospinal fluid correlate with the severity of the phenotype. Tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency is almost exclusively caused by missense mutations in the TH gene and its promoter region, suggesting that mutations with more deleterious effects on the protein are incompatible with life. Genotype-phenotype correlations do not exist for the common c.698G > A and c.707T > C mutations. Carriership of at least one promotor mutation, however, apparently predicts type A tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency. Most patients with tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency can be successfully treated with l-dopa.

Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome is a mendelian mimic of congenital infection and also shows overlap with systemic lupus erythematosus at both a clinical and biochemical level. The recent identification of mutations in TREX1 and genes encoding the RNASEH2 complex and studies of the function of TREX1 in DNA metabolism have defined a previously unknown mechanism for the initiation of autoimmunity by interferon-stimulatory nucleic acid. Here we describe mutations in SAMHD1 as the cause of AGS at the AGS5 locus and present data to show that SAMHD1 may act as a negative regulator of the cell-intrinsic antiviral response.

Pregnancy reduces maternal risk of breast cancer in the long term, but the biological determinants of the protection are unknown. Animal experiments suggest that estrogens and progesterone could be involved, but direct human evidence is scant. A case-control study (536 cases and 1,049 controls) was nested within the Finnish Maternity Cohort. Eligible were primiparous women who delivered at term a singleton offspring before age 40. For each case, two individually matched controls by age (±6 months) and date of sampling (±3 months) were selected. Estradiol, estrone and progesterone in first-trimester serum were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) by immunoassay. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated through conditional logistic regression. In the whole study population there was no association of breast cancer with any of the studied hormones. In analyses stratified by age at diagnosis, however, estradiol concentrations were positively associated with risk of breast cancer before age 40 (upper quartile OR, 1.81; CI, 1.08-3.06), but inversely associated with risk in women who were diagnosed ≥age 40 (upper quartile OR, 0.64; CI, 0.40-1.04), p(interaction) 0.004. Risk estimates for estrone mirrored those for estradiol but were less pronounced. Progesterone was not associated with risk of subsequent breast cancer. Our results provide initial evidence that concentrations of estrogens during the early parts of a primiparous pregnancy are associated with maternal risk of breast cancer and suggest that the effect may differ for tumors diagnosed before and after age 40.

Ihmisen papilloomavirus (Human papillomavirus HPV) aiheuttaa yleisen sukupuoliteitse leviävän tartuntataudin. Virusinfektiolla on todettu olevan yhteys kohdunkaulan syöpään ja on siksi tärkeä tutkimuskohde. Kätilöopiston sairaalan patologian laboratoriossa tutkitaan HPV:ta Hybrid Capture 2 -menetelmällä, joka antaa tuloksen kvantitatiivisena. Tulos on joko positiivinen tai negatiivinen korkean riskin HPV-genotyypeille. Tutkimuskohteena oli ihmisen papilloomavirusta määrittävä in situ -hybridisaatiomenetelmä, joka on tarkoitus ottaa käyttöön Kätilöopiston sairaalan patologian laboratorioon. Näytemateriaali kerättiin HUSLAB:n Qpati-tietokannasta. 40 potilastapausta valittiin, joista kymmenen potilastapausta kuuluu kondyloma planum-, kymmenen dysplasia levis-, kymmenen dysplasia moderata- ja viimeiset kymmenen dysplasia gravis -luokitukseen. Näytteet oli valettu parafiiniin, joista leikkattiin uudet näytelasit. Näistä tehtiin HPV in situ -hybridisaatio-, p16INK4a-, Ki67- ja hematoksyliini-eosiinivärjäykset. HPV ISH:n tuloksia verrattiin negatiivisten ja positiivisten kontrollien antamiin tuloksiin. Lisäksi tutkittiin proteiinien p16INK4a ja Ki67 vastaavuutta HPV ISH:n antamiin tuloksiin. Ki67 ja p16INK4a ovat merkkiaineita, joita havaitaan HPV:n aiheuttamissa dysplastisissa muutoksissa. HE-värjäyksen avulla tarkistettiin diagnoosiluokat. HPV in situ -hybridisaationäytteissä esiintyi HPV DNA-viruskopioita 82,5 %:ssa (33/40). Näytteistä negatiivisen tuloksen antoi 12,5 % (5/40) ja 5 % (2/40) niistä ei voitu tulkita. Immunohistokemialliset värjäykset antoivat keskenään yhteneväisiä tuloksia. Tulokset olivat yhteneviä myös HPV in situ -hybridisaation antamiin tuloksiin. Tulokset olivat luotettavia, koska negatiivinen kontrolli antoi negatiivisen ja positiivinen kontrolli positiivisen tuloksen. Hematoksyliini-eosiinivärjäyksellä tarkistetuista diagnoosiluokista 20 prosenttia (8/40) oli muuttunut. Tulokset olivat luotettavia, joten voidaan todeta, että in situ -hybridisaatiomenetelmä voidaan ottaa käyttöön Kätilöopiston sairaalan patologian laboratoriolle.
