Background. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an often complication of severe cystic fibrosis (CF); however, data on the presence and impact of pulmonary vasculopathy in adult CF patients with milder disease, is very limited. Aim.

We report the application of a universal method with high allele discrimination properties to the simultaneous genotyping of 7 LDLR mutations in Greeks, in dry-reagent format.
Design And Methods: We genotyped mutations C858A, C939A, G1285A, T1352C, G1646A, G1775A, C/T81G.
Background: Hemoglobinopathies are the most common inherited diseases worldwide. Various methods for genotyping of hemoglobin, beta (HBB) gene mutations have been reported, but there is need for a high sample-throughput, cost-effective method for simultaneous screening of several mutations. We report a method that combines the high detectability and dynamic range of chemiluminescence with the high allele-discrimination ability of probe extension reactions for simultaneous genotyping of 15 HBB mutations in a high sample-throughput, dry-reagent format.

The PAF acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) of mouse plasma was characterised as to its lipoprotein subclass and apolipoprotein association. Association with plasma lipoproteins was established by cholesteryl-hemisuccinate agarose affinity chromatography while electrophoretic and electrofocusing studies demonstrated almost exclusive association with the HDL-VHDL. Fractionation of [4-14C]cholesterol-labelled plasma on a Bio-Gel A-5m column established that 1% of the enzymic activity was associated with the VLDL-LDL, 4.
