- Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed our understanding of susceptibility to multiple myeloma (MM), but much of the heritability remains unexplained. We report a new GWAS, a meta-analysis with previous GWAS and a replication series, totalling 9974 MM cases and 247,556 controls of European ancestry. Collectively, these data provide evidence for six new MM risk loci, bringing the total number to 23. Integration of information from gene expression, epigenetic profiling and in situ Hi-C data for the 23 risk loci implicate disruption of developmental transcriptional regulators as a basis of MM susceptibility, compatible with altered B-cell differentiation as a key mechanism. Dysregulation of autophagy/apoptosis and cell cycle signalling feature as recurrently perturbed pathways. Our findings provide further insight into the biological basis of MM.

- The FeCrAlRE (where RE is reactive element) alloy Kanthal AF was exposed isothermally at 600 and 800 degrees C for 72 h in dry O-2 and in O-2 with 10 vol % H2O. The mass gains were 3-5 times higher at the higher temperature. The presence of water vapor increased the oxidation rate at 800 degrees C, while no significant effect was observed at 600 degrees C. A thin two-layered oxide formed at 600 degrees C: an outer (Fe, Cr)(2)O-3 corundum-type oxide, containing some Al, and an inner, probably amorphous, Al-rich oxide. At 800 degrees C a two-layered oxide formed in both environments. The inner layer consisted of inward grown alpha-Al2O3. In dry O-2 the originally formed outward grown gamma-Al2O3 had transformed to alpha-Al2O3 after 72 h. Water vapor stabilized the outward grown gamma-Al2O3 and hence no transformation occurred after 72 h in humid environment. RE-rich oxide particles with varying composition (Y, Zr, and Ti) were distributed in the base oxide at both temperatures and in both environments. The RE-rich particles were separated from the alloy substrate by a layer of Al-rich oxide. At 800 degrees C the Y-rich RE particles were surrounded by thick oxide patches in both dry and humid O-2.

- Individuals with an inherited predisposition to cancer development are at an increased risk of developing multiple tumours. Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is one of the most common hereditary cancer syndromes and is estimated to account for approximately 2% of colorectal cancers. However, HNPCC individuals are at an increased risk of developing other tumour types such as cancers of the endometrium, urothelium and small intestine. We have utilised a population-based regional cancer registry to identify all patients with double primary colorectal cancers and at least one additional malignancy and characterised the tumour spectrum in this patient group. We subsequently selected those 47 individuals who had developed at least four malignancies, including two colorectal cancers, for studies of the tumour characteristics associated with HNPCC. In total, these individuals developed 209 tumours, 156 of which were successfully retrieved. Microsatellite instability (MSI), a phenomenon caused by defective mismatch-repair (MMR), was identified in 63/154 (41%) evaluable tumours with a MSI-high pattern in 59 and a MSI-low pattern in four tumours. All tumours were immunohistochemically stained for the MMR proteins MLH1 and MSH2, with loss of expression in 55/63 (87%) MSI tumours and in 2/89 (2%) microsatellite stable (MSS) tumours. This loss affected MLH1 in 24 tumours and MSH2 in 33 tumours. A concordant loss of expression for the same MMR protein in several tumours from the same individual, a pattern that strongly suggests an underlying germline MMR gene mutation, was found in 17/45 (38%) patients and affected MLH1 in 8 patients and MSH2 in 9 patients. We conclude that the development of multiple primary tumours, including synchronous or metachronous colorectal cancers, is associated with an increased frequency of MSI and loss of immunohistochemical expression of MLH1 and MSH2.

- Autosomal dominant torsion dystonia-1 is a disease with incomplete penetrance most often caused by an in-frame GAG deletion (p.Glu303del) in the endoplasmic reticulum luminal protein torsinA encoded by TOR1A. We report an association of the homozygous dominant disease-causing TOR1A p.Glu303del mutation, and a novel homozygous missense variant (p.Gly318Ser) with a severe arthrogryposis phenotype with developmental delay, strabismus and tremor in three unrelated Iranian families. All parents who were carriers of the TOR1A variant showed no evidence of neurological symptoms or signs, indicating decreased penetrance similar to families with autosomal dominant torsion dystonia-1. The results from cell assays demonstrate that the p.Gly318Ser substitution causes a redistribution of torsinA from the endoplasmic reticulum to the nuclear envelope, similar to the hallmark of the p.Glu303del mutation. Our study highlights that TOR1A mutations should be considered in patients with severe arthrogryposis and further expands the phenotypic spectrum associated with TOR1A mutations.

- Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy with a significant heritable basis. Genome-wide association studies have transformed our understanding of MM predisposition, but individual studies have had limited power to discover risk loci. Here we perform a meta-analysis of these GWAS, add a new GWAS and perform replication analyses resulting in 9,866 cases and 239,188 controls. We confirm all nine known risk loci and discover eight new loci at 6p22.3 (rs34229995, P = 1.31 x 10(-8)), 6q21 (rs9372120, P = 9.09 x 10(-15)), 7q36.1 (rs7781265, P = 9.71 x 10(-9)), 8q24.21 (rs1948915, P = 4.20 x 10(-11)), 9p21.3 (rs2811710, P = 1.72 x 10(-13)), 10p12.1 (rs2790457, P = 1.77 x 10(-8)), 16q23.1 (rs7193541, P = 5.00 x 10(-12)) and 20q13.13 (rs6066835, P = 1.36 x 10(-13)), which localize in or near to JARID2, ATG5, SMARCD3, CCAT1, CDKN2A, WAC, RFWD3 and PREX1. These findings provide additional support for a polygenic model of MM and insight into the biological basis of tumour development.

Localized Atmospheric Corrosion of Magnesium-Aluminum Alloys Produced by Semisolid Casting: A 2D and 3D Investigation

- The localized corrosion of the two magnesium-aluminum alloys AM50 and AZ91 produced by a semisolid casting method was investigated under atmospheric corrosion conditions, in the presence of NaCl. Gravimetry confirmed the beneficial effect from ambient levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in suppressing corrosion through the formation of magnesium hydroxy carbonates. Both 2D and 3D characterization revealed that ambient CO2 has a strong influence on the morphology and rate of localized corrosion. In CO2-free atmosphere, the alloys suffered localized corrosion resulting in clustered and interconnected cavities that extended deep into the material. In contrast, corrosion in the presence of ambient levels of CO2 (400 ppm) resulted in evenly distributed shallow corrosion sites. The results indicate that CO2 neutralizes the cathodic areas resulting in diminished cathodic activity and inhibiting NaCl(aq) droplet coalescence.
