- In a large case-control study of Swedish incident type I diabetes patients and controls, 0-34 years of age, we tested the hypothesis that the GIMAP5 gene, a key genetic factor for lymphopenia in spontaneous BioBreeding rat diabetes, is associated with type I diabetes; with islet autoantibodies in incident type I diabetes patients or with age at clinical onset in incident type I diabetes patients. Initial scans of allelic association were followed by more detailed logistic regression modeling that adjusted for known type I diabetes risk factors and potential confounding variables. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs6598, located in a polyadenylation signal of GIMAP5, was associated with the presence of significant levels of IA-2 autoantibodies in the type I diabetes patients. Patients with the minor allele A of rs6598 had an increased prevalence of IA-2 autoantibody levels compared to patients without the minor allele (OR=2.2; Bonferroni-corrected P=0.003), after adjusting for age at clinical onset (P=8.0 x 10(-13)) and the numbers of HLA-DQ A1*0501-B1*0201 haplotypes (P=2.4 x 10(-5)) and DQ A1*0301-B1*0302 haplotypes (P=0.002). GIMAP5 polymorphism was not associated with type I diabetes or with GAD65 or insulin autoantibodies, ICA, or age at clinical onset in patients. These data suggest that the GIMAP5 gene is associated with islet autoimmunity in type I diabetes and add to recent findings implicating the same SNP in another autoimmune disease.

- SUMO4 M55V, located in IDDM5, has been a focus for debate because of its association to type I diabetes (TIDM) in Asians but not in Caucasians. The current study aims to test the significance of M55V association to TIDM in a large cohort of Swedish Caucasians, and to test whether M55V is associated in those carrying human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II molecules. A total of 673 TIDM patients and 535 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included in the study. PCR-RFLP was performed to identify the genotype and allele variations. Our data suggest that SUMO4 M55V is not associated with susceptibility to TIDM by itself. When we stratified our patients and controls based on heterozygosity for HLA-DR3/DR4 and SUMO4 genotypes, we found that presence of SUMO4 GG increased further the relative risk conferred by HLA-DR3/DR4 to TIDM, whereas SUMO4 AA decreased the risk. From the current study, we conclude that SUMO4 M55V is associated with TIDM in association with high-risk HLA-DR3 and DR4, but not by itself.

Micro reactors for the optimisation of reaction conditions in asymmetric metal catalysis

- Two types of micro reactors were employed for enantioselective metal catalysed reactions. In the first type of reactor, an electroosmotic flow was used, whereas the second type of reactor used a pressure driven flow. The purpose of the study is to develop tools for rapid and efficient optimization of reactions, utilising minimum amounts of reagents.

- As major players in our defense system, white blood cells (WBCs) are essential for immunological tests. However, WBCs exist at low concentration in blood samples, typically less than 0.5% of blood cells, and separation or enrichment of leukocytes is therefore a critical initial step in many biological experiments. This paper reports a novel method, based on differential inertial focusing, for separating blood cells in high throughput fashion (volumetric flow rates >2 ml/min). In this method, inherent hydrodynamic forces developed in flow through curved channels force cells to migrate over streamlines and focus laterally in equilibrium positions based on size.

Genotyping by dynamic heating of monolayered beads on a microheater surface

- This paper presents SNP scoring by DASH technology by employing dynamic heating of beads immobilized on a chip with integrated heater and sensor. The microfabricated chip designed for open-surface DNA analysis allows fast, well controllable temperature ramping and homogeneous temperature distribution over the entire heater area. Beads containing DNA duplexes are immobilized on the surface of the chip by microcontact printing using a PDMS stamp. All three possible variants of a SNP site of an oligonucleotide were accurately scored using the bead-based DASH approach. Using the chip, the total analysis time could easily be reduced by a factor 2 compared with the current DASH assay.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This report describes a rapid solid-phase melting curve analysis method for single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping. The melting curve analysis is based on dynamic allele-specific hybridization (DASH). The DNA duplexes are conjugated on beads that are immobilized on the surface of a microheater chip with integrated heaters and temperature sensors. SNP on PCR products were scored, illustrating the sensitivity and robustness of the system. The method is based on random bead immobilization by microcontact printing. Single-bead detection and multiplexing were performed with a heating rate more than 20 times faster than conventional DASH. Analyses that took more than 15 min could be performed in less that 1 min, enabling ultrarapid SNP analysis. In addition, an array version of the chip was implemented enabling the preparation of an array of bead arrays for high-throughput and rapid SNP genotyping.
