Un théorème de Pillay [17] affirme que tout groupe différentiellement constructible se plonge dans un groupe algébrique. Chatzidakis et Hrushovski [7] ont obtenu le même résultat pour les groupes constructibles sur un corps de différence. Ces deux exemples nous montrent que des groupes définissables dans des structures enrichies peuvent être analysés à partir de la structure de base. Dans les d...

The risk of suicide among the first-degree relatives of 195 schizophrenic and 315 manic-depressive patients in a long-term study was estimated. The findings demonstrate a higher risk of suicide among relatives of psychiatric patients in comparison with relatives of surgical controls. Male relatives had a higher risk of suicide than female relatives. When suicide risk in the relatives was analyz...

The importance of cardiological evaluation of families following sudden unexplained death (SUD) or diagnosis of an inherited cardiac condition (ICC) has been long established. 3 The additional value of genetic testing, in the context of a likely ICC, is also recognized. Tomaske et al. report on their experience of paediatric investigation for ICCs. Their study cohort consists of a heterogeneous...

Periconceptional folic acid use can often prevent neural tube defects (NTDs). Variants of genes involved in folate metabolism in mothers and children have been associated with occurrence of NTDs. We identified Irish families with individuals affected by neural tube defects. In these families, we observed that neural tube defects and birth defects overall occurred at a higher rate in the materna...

A total of 3025 families with schoolchildren aged 6-8 years were offered pilot screening for familial hypercholesterolaemia by measurement of the concentrations of apolipoproteins A-1 and B in the children's capillary blood and by analysis of their family histories of early ischaemic heart disease. The concentrations of the apolipoproteins were determined by double rocket immunoelectrophoresis ...

OBJECTIVE A positive family history of premature coronary artery disease (CAD) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), independent of traditional risk factors. Therefore, currently used risk algorithms poorly predict risk in these individuals. Novel methods are thus needed to assess cardiovascular risk. Pulse-wave velocity (PWV) might be such a method, but it is unknown whether PWV i...

Increasingly more psychiatric research studies use whole genome sequencing or whole exome sequencing. Consequently, researchers face difficult questions, such as which genomic findings to return to research participants and how. This study aims to gain more knowledge on the attitudes among potential research participants and health professionals toward receiving pertinent and incidental finding...

BACKGROUND Numerous studies have recently been conducted to investigate genetic mechanisms in cancer causes and pathogenesis. Some of these studies have shown that there were certain specific chromosomal defects in normal cells of cancer patients and in their first-degree relatives. It was suggested that these individuals were susceptible to cancer development when compared with people without ...

Elevated blood pressure (BP) is more common in relatives of hypertensives than in relatives of normotensives, indicating familial resemblance of the BP phenotypes. Most published studies have been conducted in westernized societies. To assess the ability to generalize these estimates, we examined familial patterns of BP in a population-based sample of 510 nuclear families, including 1552 indivi...
