Genetic polymorphism in <i>ATIC</i> is associated with effectiveness and toxicity of pemetrexed in non-small-cell lung cancer.
Visser S, Koolen S, van Donk N, van Walree N, van der Leest C, Cornelissen R, van Schaik R, Mathijssen R, Aerts J, Stricker BH
Patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer who are treated with pemetrexed display a wide variation in clinical response and toxicity. In this prospective, multicentre cohort study, we investigated the association with treatment effectiveness and toxicity of 10 polymorphisms in nine candidate genes, covering the folate pathway (MTHFR), cell transport (SLC19A1/ABCC2/ABCC4), intracellular metabolism (FPGS/GGH) and target enzymes (TYMS/DHFR/ATIC) of pemetrexed. Adjusted for sex, ECOG perform...

Possible causes of aberrations in adverse grouping behavior of dairy cows: A field study.
van Schaik G, Seinen P, Muskens J, van Erp T, Keurentjes J, Huss A, Kromhout H
In the Dutch national surveillance system, an increasing number of reports were received in the summer of 2017 from farmers about unusual behavior of their cows. The cows were grouping during the day in summer in one part of the barn and did not move for several hours, which, according to the farmers, led to reduced food and water intake and lying time and resulted in decreased milk production and increased risk of lameness. Many farmers perceived magnetic fields from, for instance, high-voltage...

Failing systemic right ventricle in a patient with dextrocardia and complex congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries: a case report of successful transvenous cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Nederend M, van Erven L, Zeppenfeld K, Vliegen HW, Egorova AD
Background: Patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) are prone to the development of advanced atrio-ventricular block requiring chronic ventricular pacing. The morphological right ventricle (RV) often develops systolic dysfunction as it is unable to withstand the chronic pressure overload it is exposed to when supporting the systemic circulation. Case summary: A 56-year-old woman with dextrocardia and complex ccTGA with a history of dual-chamber implantabl...

Impact of chromatin context on Cas9-induced DNA double-strand break repair pathway balance.
Schep R, Brinkman EK, Leemans C, Vergara X, van der Weide RH, Morris B, van Schaik T, Manzo SG, Peric-Hupkes D, van den Berg J, Beijersbergen RL, Medema RH, van Steensel B
DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair is mediated by multiple pathways. It is thought that the local chromatin context affects the pathway choice, but the underlying principles are poorly understood. Using a multiplexed reporter assay in combination with Cas9 cutting, we systematically measure the relative activities of three DSB repair pathways as a function of chromatin context in >1,000 genomic locations. This reveals that non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) is broadly biased toward euchromat...

Policy and Practice Review: A First Guideline on the Use of Pharmacogenetics in Clinical Psychiatric Practice.
van Westrhenen R, van Schaik RHN, van Gelder T, Birkenhager TK, Bakker PR, Houwink EJF, Bet PM, Hoogendijk WJG, van Weelden-Hulshof MJM
Effective pharmacologic treatments for psychiatric disorders are available, but their effect is limited due to patients' genetic heterogeneity and low compliance-related to frequent adverse events. Only one third of patients respond to treatment and experience remission. Pharmacogenetics is a relatively young field which focusses on genetic analyses in the context of the metabolism and outcome of drug treatment. These genetic factors can, among other things, lead to differences in the activ...

Ratio between Vena Contracta Width and Tricuspid Annular Diameter: Prognostic Value in Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation.
Fortuni F, Dietz MF, Prihadi EA, van der Bijl P, De Ferrari GM, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Marsan NA
Background: Conventional approaches for the assessment of secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) severity do not correct for right heart dimensions. The authors hypothesized that STR severity can be proportional or disproportional to the dilation of the tricuspid annulus (TA) and investigated the prognostic impact of this novel definition. Methods: A total of 334 patients with moderate to severe STR and preserved left ventricular systolic function were included. The ratio between vena contracta...

Evaluation of the association between the introduction of data-driven tools to support calf rearing and reduced calf mortality in dairy herds in the Netherlands.
Santman-Berends IMGA, Nijhoving GH, van Wuijckhuise L, Muskens J, Bos I, van Schaik G
Between 2009 and 2017, calf mortality in the Dutch dairy sector showed a slight but steady increase. The Dutch dairy industry decided to act and supported the development of several data-driven tools that were implemented from 2018 on. The tools informed farmers about their calf mortality rates and stimulated them to improve. The Trend Analysis Surveillance Component of the Dutch cattle Health Surveillance System provided the possibility to evaluate the calf mortality in Dutch dairy herds before...

Non-uniform mixing of hepatic venous flow and inferior vena cava flow in the Fontan conduit.
Rijnberg FM, van der Woude SFS, van Assen HC, Juffermans JF, Hazekamp MG, Jongbloed MRM, Kenjeres S, Lamb HJ, Westenberg JJM, Wentzel JJ, Roest AAW
Fontan patients require a balanced hepatic blood flow distribution (HFD) to prevent pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. Currently, HFD is quantified by tracking Fontan conduit flow, assuming hepatic venous (HV) flow to be uniformly distributed within the Fontan conduit. However, this assumption may be unvalid leading to inaccuracies in HFD quantification with potential clinical impact. The aim of this study was to (i) assess the mixing of HV flow and inferior vena caval (IVC) flow within the...

Following the neutral results of the dal-OUTCOMES trial, a genome-wide study identified the rs1967309 variant in the adenylate cyclase type 9 (ADCY9) gene on chromosome 16 as being associated with the risk of future cardiovascular events only in subjects taking dalcetrapib, a CETP (cholesterol ester transfer protein) modulator. Homozygotes for the minor A allele (AA) were protected from recurrent cardiovascular events when treated with dalcetrapib, while homozygotes for the major G allele (GG) h...

Cardiac sympathetic activity plays a key role in supporting cardiac function in both health and disease conditions, and nuclear cardiac imaging has always represented the only way for the non-invasive evaluation of the functional integrity of cardiac sympathetic terminals, mainly through the use of radiopharmaceuticals that are analogues of norepinephrine and, in particular, with the use of 123I-mIBG imaging. This technique demonstrates the presence of cardiac sympathetic dysfunction in differen...

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine with both pro- and anti-inflammatory properties with a heritability estimate of up to 61%. The circulating levels of IL-6 in blood have been associated with an increased risk of complex disease pathogenesis. We conducted a two-staged, discovery and replication meta genome-wide association study (GWAS) of circulating serum IL-6 levels comprising up to 67 428 (ndiscovery = 52 654 and nreplication = 14 774) individuals of European ancestry.

Evolution from mitral annular dysfunction to severe mitral regurgitation in Barlow's disease.
Hiemstra YL, Tomsic A, Gripari P, van Wijngaarden AL, van der Pas SL, Palmen M, Klautz RJM, Pepi M, Bax JJ, Delgado V, Marsan NA
Objectives: Barlow's disease (BD) is characterized by thick, redundant mitral valve (MV) leaflets, which can lead to prolapse and significant mitral regurgitation (MR). MV annular abnormalities are also commonly observed and increasingly recognized as possible primary pathology, with leaflet thickening being secondary to increased stress on the MV apparatus. To provide more insights into this hypothesis, the evolution of MV abnormalities over time in patients with BD was assessed. Methods:...
