Item type:Publication, Somatic Mosaicism for Paternal Uniparental Disomy of 11p15.5 Region in Adrenal and Liver Tissues in a Newborn with Atypical Beckwith–Wiedemann Syndrome(2019) ;Abraham Urzua ;Sofia Burattini ;Constanza Pinochet; <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is characterized by overgrowth and increased risk of embryonic tumors. It results from alterations in genes controlled by imprinting centers H19DMR (Imprinting Center [IC] 1) and KvDMR (IC2). Strategies for diagnostic confirmation include methylation analysis and CDKN1C sequencing. We present a newborn with placentomegaly, hyperinsulinism and adrenal cytomegaly, but no typical external features of BWS. The patient had normal genetic studies in blood. However, adrenal and liver tissues showed hypermethylation of IC1 and hypomethylation of IC2. Microsatellite analysis confirmed mosaic paternal uniparental disomy. This study demonstrates the importance of analyzing additional tissues to reduce underdiagnosis of somatic mosaicism in BWS.</jats:p>6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Rett Syndrome: MECP2 gene molecular analysis in Chilean patients [Síndrome de Rett: análisis molecular del gen MECP2 en pacientes chilenas](2019) ;Carolina Aron W. ;Geraldinne Rauch L.; <jats:p>Introducción: El síndrome de Rett (RTT) es un trastorno neurológico progresivo caracterizado por producir una regresión del desarrollo psicomotor en niñas previamente sanas. La mayoría de los casos son causados por variantes patogénicas en el gen MECP2, que codifica para la proteína methyl CpGbinding protein 2.Objetivo: Describir la frecuencia y el tipo de variantes patogénicas en MECP2 en mujeres chilenas con diagnóstico clínico de RTT.Pacientes y Método: Se invitó a participar en este estudio a mujeres chilenas con sospecha clínica de RTT. Se reunió información clínica mediante un cuestionario. Se analizaron variantes patogénicas en MECP2 mediante el método de secuenciación de Sanger y se utilizó Multiple Ligation-dependant Probe Amplification (MLPA) para la detección de duplicaciones y deleciones.Resultado: El estudio incluyó 14 pacientes con sospecha de RTT, de las cuales 8 (57%) pacientes tuvieron variantes patogénicas. Las restantes permanecen sin diagnóstico molecular.Conclusión: Variantes patogénicas en MECP2 están presentes en pacientes chilenas con RTT. Es probable que haya otros genes o diagnósticos involucrados en las pacientes sin hallazgos en MECP2. A partir de este trabajo, el diagnóstico molecular está disponible en Chile.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 3 7 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, No association between genetic variants in MAOA, OXTR, and AVPR1a and cooperative strategies(2020) ;María I. Rivera-Hechem; ; ;Tadeo Ramírez-Parada<jats:p>The effort to understand the genetic basis of human sociality has been encouraged by the diversity and heritability of social traits like cooperation. This task has remained elusive largely because most studies of sociality and genetics use sample sizes that are often unable to detect the small effects that single genes may have on complex social behaviors. The lack of robust findings could also be a consequence of a poor characterization of social phenotypes. Here, we explore the latter possibility by testing whether refining measures of cooperative phenotypes can increase the replication of previously reported associations between genetic variants and cooperation in small samples. Unlike most previous studies of sociality and genetics, we characterize cooperative phenotypes based on strategies rather than actions. Measuring strategies help differentiate between similar actions with different underlaying social motivations while controlling for expectations and learning. In an admixed Latino sample (n = 188), we tested whether cooperative strategies were associated with three genetic variants thought to influence sociality in humans—<jats:italic>MAOA</jats:italic>-uVNTR, <jats:italic>OXTR</jats:italic> rs53576, and <jats:italic>AVPR1</jats:italic> RS3. We found no association between cooperative strategies and any of the candidate genetic variants. Since we were unable to replicate previous observations our results suggest that refining measurements of cooperative phenotypes as strategies is not enough to overcome the inherent statistical power problem of candidate gene studies.</jats:p>9Scopus© Citations 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, A Road Pricing Model for Congested Highways Based on Link Densities(2017) ;Louis de Grange; <jats:p>A road pricing model is presented that determines tolls for congested highways. The main contribution of this paper is to include density explicitly in the pricing scheme and not just flow and time. The methodology solves a nonlinear constrained optimization problem whose objective function maximizes toll revenue or highway use (2 scenarios). The results show that the optimal tolls depend on highway design and the level of congestion. The model parameters are estimated from a Chile’s highway data. Significant differences were found between the highway’s observed tolls and the optimal toll levels for the two scenarios. The proposed approach could be applied to either planned highway concessions with recovery of capital costs or the extension or retendering of existing concessions.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 6 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
