Antibodies specific for nucleic acid modifications.
Feederle R, Schepers A
Nucleotide modifications constitute marks in RNA and DNA that contribute to gene regulation, development and other cellular processes. The understanding of their intricate molecular roles has been hampered by the high number of different modifications, the lack of effective methods and tools for their detection and quantification as well as by their complex structure-function relationship. The recent development of RNA and DNA immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (RIP- and...

Ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death in tetralogy of Fallot.
Maury P, Sacher F, Rollin A, Mondoly P, Duparc A, Zeppenfeld K, Hascoet S, Réseau francophone de rythmologie pédiatrique et congénitale
Malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death may late happen in repaired tetralogy of Fallot, although probably less frequently than previously thought, especially with the advent of new surgical techniques/management. Ventricular tachycardias are caused by reentry around the surgical scars/patches and valves. Many predictive factors have been proposed, which suffer from poor accuracy. There is currently no recommended indication for prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrilla...

Relation of Myocardial Contrast-Enhanced T<sub>1</sub> Mapping by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance to Left Ventricular Reverse Remodeling After Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Patients With Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy.
Höke U, Khidir MJ, van der Geest RJ, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Ajmone Marsan N
Myocardial scar is known to be associated with limited left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). However, the impact of diffuse myocardial interstitial fibrosis, as assessed with myocardial T1 mapping cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), has not been studied in patients with CRT. Therefore, we aimed at evaluating the association between diffuse myocardial interstitial fibrosis, in nonischemic cardiomyopathy patients, and LV reverse remodeling after CRT....

Association Between Posterior Left Atrial Adipose Tissue Mass and Atrial Fibrillation.
van Rosendael AR, Dimitriu-Leen AC, van Rosendael PJ, Leung M, Smit JM, Saraste A, Knuuti J, van der Geest RJ, van der Arend BW, van Zwet EW, Scholte AJ, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Background: Epicardial adipose tissue located close to the atrial wall can change the electric conduction of the left atrium, potentially leading to atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study was to assess whether an increased atrial adipose tissue mass posterior to the left atrium is related to AF independent of demographical and cardiovascular risk factors. Methods and results: Two hundred patients with AF and 200 patients without AF who underwent computed tomographic angiography were inc...

Height is a highly heritable, classic polygenic trait with approximately 700 common associated variants identified through genome-wide association studies so far. Here, we report 83 height-associated coding variants with lower minor-allele frequencies (in the range of 0.1-4.8%) and effects of up to 2 centimetres per allele (such as those in IHH, STC2, AR and CRISPLD2), greater than ten times the average effect of common variants. In functional follow-up studies, rare height-increasing alleles of...

A Systemic-Onset Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Patient with Reduced Anakinra Treatment Admitted with an Attack.
Yilmaz D, Akcan M, Terlemez S, Sonmez F, Akcan AB
Interleukin-1 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SoJIA), and the use of anti-interleukin-1 therapy has been increasing. We report a case of a 14-year-old male patient with SoJIA. He was in remission with anakinra treatment for almost 2 years. When we extended the therapeutic range and decreased the dose (1 mg/kg twice a week), he developed symptoms mimicking pulmonary embolism and cardiac ischemia. Increased cardiac enzyme levels and echo...
