A population genetic study for the locus D17S5 was carried out on Caucasoids from the Budapest area consisting of 209 unrelated individuals. In this system we identified 13 different alleles and 51 genotypes. No new alleles were found and no significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed. The power of discrimination was estimated at 0.958, the power of exclusion at 0. 60 and the observed heterozygosity at 0.80.

Fetal nucleated cells in maternal peripheral blood are a non-invasive source of fetal DNA for prenatal genetic diagnosis. However, the number of fetal cells present in maternal peripheral blood is very small. Therefore, fetal cell enrichment is generally considered necessary to allow detection and subsequent genetic analysis of the rare fetal cells.

A new modification of DNA purification has been developed. It includes: 1) standard treatment of biological material with proteinase K followed by phenol-chlorophorm extraction; 2) subsequent sample purification using micro-columns packed with Dowex-50 and Sephadex G-50. Oligonucleotide primers often used for DNA typing in man by means of polymerase chain reaction have also been modified.

Multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations in oncogenes, tumour-suppressor genes, cell-cycle regulators, cell adhesion molecules, DNA repair genes and genetic instability as well as telomerase activation are implicated in the multistep process of human stomach carcinogenesis. However, particular combinations of these alterations differ in the two histological types of gastric cancer, indicating that well-differentiated or intestinal-type and poorly differentiated or diffuse-type carcinomas have distinct carcinogenetic pathways. In the multistep process of well-differentiated-type carcinogenesis, the genetic pathway can be divided into three subpathways: an intestinal metaplasia-->adenoma-->carcinoma sequence, an intestinal metaplasia-->carcinoma sequence and de novo.

This study reports the genetic variation at three variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) loci (APOB, D17S5 and D1S80) in two tribes (Thoti and Kolam) of Andhra Pradesh, India. Kolams constitute 1% of the total scheduled tribal population of Andhra Pradesh, while Thoti is a numerically small tribe. All three genetic loci were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique and were polymorphic in both populations.
