- Angioedema is a potentially life-threatening adverse reaction to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers. To study the genetic etiology of this rare adverse event, international consortia and multicenter recruitment of patients are needed. To reduce patient heterogeneity, we have standardized the phenotype. In brief, it comprises swelling in the head and neck region that first occurs during treatment. It should not coincide with urticaria or have another likely cause such as hereditary angioedema.

- We present a theoretical and experimental analysis of non Franck-Condon effects in photoionization to the b (4)Sigma(g)(-), state of O-2(+). Experimentally, by dispersing the synchrotron radiation induced O-2(+) b (4)Sigma(g)(-) a (IIu)-I-4 fluorescence we derive the b (4)Sigma(g)(-), State vibrational branching ratios in the excitation energy range 21-34 eV. The vibrational branching ratios reveal features in the region 21-28 eV indicating strong non Franck-Condon effects. The experimental results have been analysed by computing ab initio the vibrational population branching ratios using a many-body perturbation method. Additionally the autoionizing neutral states existing in this energy region have been studied. We have computed the energies of the valence states up to an energy of 30 eV their transition moments for excitations from the ground state, and autoionization rates. Our calculations show, that strong non Franck-Condon effects recorded in the branching ratio spectrum (below 25 eV) are actually caused by the narrow 3 sigma(g) --> sigma(u) shape resonance, and its coupling to the 1 pi(u) --> pi(g) channel.

- The photoion excitation spectra of (NO)-N-14 and (NO)-N-15 have been studied in the 105-112 Mn excitation region using high-order harmonic laser spectroscopy. Utilizing the small bandwidth offered by this technique, the natural widths of prominent lines in this region have been measured. These lines originate from interactions between high-lying Rydberg levels converging to the NO+ electronic ground state and a 'new' NO valence state situated close to the latter state. The present measurements show broad resonances corresponding to a decay time of 20-50 fs. This supports the interpretation that the decay takes place via rapid electronic autoionization.

- The mechanisms of neutral dissociation of oxygen molecules in the excitation energy range 15-25 eV have been studied in a dispersed fluorescence experiment. By detecting the fluorescence from excited oxygen atoms, we find that neutral superexcited O-2 states below 20 eV dissociate into O(g.s.) + O(3s,3p). At higher excitation energies (h nu = 20-25 eV) the curve-crossing interactions following excitations to members of the Rydberg c (4)Sigma(u)(-) series also yield atoms in Rydberg states (nl,n greater than or equal to 4). The experimental data are analyzed on the ground of many-body perturbation theory, calculations which indicate the structure of the predissociating states converging to the experimentally observed ones.

- Angioedema occurring in the head and neck region is a rare and sometimes life-threatening adverse reactionto angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). Few studies have investigated the association of common variants with this extreme reaction, but none have explored the combined influence of rare variants yet. Adjudicated cases of ACEI-induced angioedema (ACEI-AE) or ARB-induced angioedema (ARB-AE) and controls were recruited at five different centers. Sequencing of 1,066 samples (408 ACEI-AE, ARB-AE, and 658 controls) was performed using exome-enriched sequence data. A common variant of the F5 gene that causes an increase in blood clotting (rs6025, p.Arg506Gln, also called factor V Leiden), was significantly associated with both ACEI-AE and ARB-AE (odds ratio: 2.85, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.89–4.25). A burden test analysisof five rare missense variants in F5 was also found to be associated with ACEI-AE or ARB-AE, P = 2.09 × 10−3. A combined gene risk score of these variants, and the common variants rs6025 and rs6020, showed that individuals carrying at least one variant had 2.21 (95% CI, 1.49–3.27, P = 6.30 × 10−9) times the odds of having ACEI-AE or ARB-AE. The increased risk due to the common Leiden allele was confirmed in a genome-wide association study from the United States. A high risk of angioedema was also observed for the rs6020 variant that is the main coagulation defect-causing variant in black African and Asian populations. We found that deleterious missense variants in F5 are associated with an increased risk of ACEI-AE or ARB-AE.

- Angioedema in the mouth or upper airways is a feared adverse reaction to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) treatment, which is used for hypertension, heart failure and diabetes complications. This candidate gene and genome-wide association study aimed to identify genetic variants predisposing to angioedema induced by these drugs. The discovery cohort consisted of 173 cases and 4890 controls recruited in Sweden. In the candidate gene analysis, ETV6, BDKRB2, MME, and PRKCQ were nominally associated with angioedema (p < 0.05), but did not pass Bonferroni correction for multiple testing (p < 2.89 × 10-5). In the genome-wide analysis, intronic variants in the calcium-activated potassium channel subunit alpha-1 (KCNMA1) gene on chromosome 10 were significantly associated with angioedema (p < 5 × 10-8). Whilst the top KCNMA1 hit was not significant in the replication cohort (413 cases and 599 ACEi-exposed controls from the US and Northern Europe), a meta-analysis of the replication and discovery cohorts (in total 586 cases and 1944 ACEi-exposed controls) revealed that each variant allele increased the odds of experiencing angioedema 1.62 times (95% confidence interval 1.05-2.50, p = 0.030). Associated KCNMA1 variants are not known to be functional, but are in linkage disequilibrium with variants in transcription factor binding sites active in relevant tissues. In summary, our data suggest that common variation in KCNMA1 is associated with risk of angioedema induced by ACEi or ARB treatment. Future whole exome or genome sequencing studies will show whether rare variants in KCNMA1 or other genes contribute to the risk of ACEi- and ARB-induced angioedema.

- Electron-ion coincidence measurements with energy-resolved electrons are a powerful tool in studies of molecular fragmentation processes, since fragmentation from a specific doorway state can be monitored while the remaining reactions are discriminated. Presently, we have applied this technique in measurements of coincidence spectra of the CD4 and SF6 molecules after valence and core electron excitation. The newly constructed energy-resolved electron-ion coincidence station developed for this project has been used. Our results on CD4 are the first demonstration of a correlation between vibrations and molecular dissociation observed in this molecule. The SF6 spectra reveal strong selectivity in dissociation following distinct electronic states of the molecule. This selectivity reflects the bonding properties of the potential surfaces involved in the studied processes. The obtained results exemplify the potential of the new multicoincidence station used in this work.
