    • In many species, the offspring of related parents suffer reduced reproductive success, a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. In humans, the importance of this effect has remained unclear, partly because reproduction between close relatives is both rare and frequently associated with confounding social factors. Here, using genomic inbreeding coefficients (FROH) for >1.4 million individuals, we show that FROH is significantly associated (p < 0.0005) with apparently deleterious changes in 32 out of 100 traits analysed. These changes are associated with runs of homozygosity (ROH), but not with common variant homozygosity, suggesting that genetic variants associated with inbreeding depression are predominantly rare. The effect on fertility is striking: FROH equivalent to the offspring of first cousins is associated with a 55% decrease [95% CI 44–66%] in the odds of having children. Finally, the effects of FROH are confirmed within full-sibling pairs, where the variation in FROH is independent of all environmental confounding.

  • Combined immunodeficiency and Epstein-Barr virus-induced B cell malignancy in humans with inherited CD70 deficiency

    • In this study, we describe four patients from two unrelated families of different ethnicities with a primary immunodeficiency, predominantly manifesting as susceptibility to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)–related diseases. Three patients presented with EBV-associated Hodgkin’s lymphoma and hypogammaglobulinemia; one also had severe varicella infection. The fourth had viral encephalitis during infancy. Homozygous frameshift or in-frame deletions in CD70 in these patients abolished either CD70 surface expression or binding to its cognate receptor CD27. Blood lymphocyte numbers were normal, but the proportions of memory B cells and EBV-specific effector memory CD8+ T cells were reduced. Furthermore, although T cell proliferation was normal, in vitro–generated EBV-specific cytotoxic T cell activity was reduced because of CD70 deficiency. This reflected impaired activation by, rather than effects during killing of, EBV-transformed B cells. Notably, expression of 2B4 and NKG2D, receptors implicated in controlling EBV infection, on memory CD8+ T cells from CD70-deficient individuals was reduced, consistent with their impaired killing of EBV-infected cells. Thus, autosomal recessive CD70 deficiency is a novel cause of combined immunodeficiency and EBV-associated diseases, reminiscent of inherited CD27 deficiency. Overall, human CD70–CD27 interactions therefore play a nonredundant role in T and B cell–mediated immunity, especially for protection against EBV and humoral immunity.

  • LDH based neonatal diagnostics on a low-cost slipdisc based sample preparation platform.
  • 2016
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • INTRODUCTIONSlipdisc is developed as a sample preparation platform based on slipchip technology [1], using a handwinded clockwork mechanism allowing sample processing from one spot to another with defined precision without the need for sophisticated tools or alignment (Fig.1). An ordinary smartphone or camera can be used to image and analyse the results making it an ideal tool for resource limited settings. Here, we demonstrate a bioassay for detecting LDH (Fig.2), a crucial enzyme found in all living cells which leaks out when the cellular membrane is damaged. This makes LDH a biomarker for several medical conditions in newborns, such as Ozkiraz-13, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and Asphyxia.EXPERIMENTALFor assembling the slipdisc optically transparent, robust and disposable CD like polycarbonate discs were used with superhydrophobic coating on all except the embedded microfluidic channels. For the LDH assay, heparinized plasma samples were spiked with 7 different concentrations of the LDH enzyme (Lee Biosolutions, USA). These concentrations ranged from clinically normal to abnormal concentrations and used to construct a standard curve for LDH enzyme.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONThe ability of the SlipDisc to quantify LDH enzyme levels from plasma samples was evaluated (Fig.3). Using 7 different concentrations, a standard curve with clinically relevant LDH concentrations was obtained (Fig4). Image and data analyses, including linear regression and Pearson’s correlation, were completed using Image processing tool in Matlab.CONCLUSIONWe demonstrate a low-cost neonatal diagnostics platform for the detection of LDH from plasma using a novel SlipDisc platform. The SlipDisc can further be modified to separate plasma from whole blood samples in order to fully integrate the assay. Its simple operation and smartphone based detection capabilities make it an ideal device for point-of-care neonatal diagnostics.
