Hemodynamic changes in neonates born to mothers with Graves' disease
Purpose: Cardiac insufficiency is a major morbidity in neonatal hyperthyroidism. It is important to assess the hemodynamics in neonates born to mothers with Graves’ disease (GD). This study prospectively evaluated the hemodynamic changes in neonates born to mothers with GD.
Methods: Overall, 80 newborns were enrolled. Thirty-six neonates were born to mothers with GD who were positive for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor antibody (TRAb), and 44 were born to mother negative for TRAb. The serum levels of TSH, free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), and N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), the cardiac output, and cardiac index (CI) evaluated by echocardiography were compared between the two groups at several postnatal points (day of delivery and 5, 10, and 30 days of life).
Results: The TRAb-positive newborns had higher FT4 levels and CI on Day 5 (both p<0.05) and higher FT3 (p<0.05) and FT4 levels (p<0.01) and CI (p<0.01) but lower TSH levels (p<0.05) on Day 10 than the TRAb-negative newborns. The TRAb-positive newborns had significantly higher NT-proBNP levels on Days 5 (median 752 vs. 563 pg/mL, p=0.034) and 10 (median 789 vs. 552 pg/mL, p=0.002) than the TRAb-negative newborns.
Conclusions: Hemodynamic changes in 1 neonates born to TRAb-positive mothers with GD resulted in a higher CI and NT-proBNP levels than in those with TRAb-negative mothers from postnatal days 5 to 10.journal articl

Illustration of the Simulation Results Used to Support Functionality of Retrogenes for One Case <i>(RBMXL1)</i>
<div><p>(A) Distribution of the number of disablements observed in 10<sup>5</sup> simulations of the <i>RBMXL1</i> retrogene evolution under neutrality. The frequency distribution of stop codons is shown in white, and that of deleterious indels in black. All of the simulations showed at least one mutation disrupting the ORF (see text); simulations without stop codons all showed several frame-disrupting indels (the minimum number of such indels in each simulation is four).</p>
<p>(B) Nonsynonymous (<i>N</i><sub>A</sub>) and synonymous (<i>N</i><sub>S</sub>) substitutions observed in 10<sup>5</sup> simulations of neutral <i>RBMXL1</i> retrogene evolution (diamonds). The black square indicates the observed nonsynonymous and synonymous substitutions in the <i>RBMXL1</i> primate phylogeny.</p>
<p>(C) Ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions in 10<sup>5</sup> simulations of <i>RBMXL1</i> retrogene evolution in the primate lineages. The arrow indicates the observed ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions in the <i>RBMXL1</i> primate phylogeny.</p></div

Quantitative genotypes for all 15,183 inferred CNV regions (CNVRs). chr represents the chromosome on which the CNVR is located, while start and end indicate the coordinates of the first respectively last CGH probe contained in the CNVR. length_kb is the estimated CNVR length in kilobases. CNV_detection_status indicates whether a CNVR contains only deletions (del), duplications (dup) or both (cnv) and eqtl_mapping indicates whether a given CNVR was detected in at least two individuals and was therefore used for cis-eQTL mapping (1) or not (0). The columns thereafter are the quantitative genotypes defined as an individualâs median log2-ratio of all CGH probes within a given CNVR. (XLSX 5415 kb
Evidence for Positive Selection on <i>PABP3</i> Codons
<p>The rectangles correspond to the different domains of the PABP1 protein: RNA poly(A)-tail-binding domains (vertical lines), RNA-binding domains (hatched), protein–protein interaction domain (white), and PABP homo-oligomerization domain (black). Positions of positively selected codons with high posterior probabilities (>0.95) are indicated by arrows.</p
