Exclusion of genes for Ocular Melanosis

The genotyping of eleven candidate genes for Ocular Melanosis in Cairn Terriers suggests they are unlikely to be the gene locus for this condition, highlighting the need for further study.

Viremia absent in children with rotavirus

Rotavirus (RVA) viremia was not found in children with rotavirus diarrhea, and could not be identified via the presence of antigenemia in the patients’ serum.

Lack of prolactin expression with PCR-RT

Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR-RT) did not show prolactin expression in primary central nervous system tumors, suggesting that its presence is not a reflex of local production.

HTLV-1 may not activate expression of HERVs

The elicitation of human endogenous retrovirus (HERV)-specific T-cells responses may not have a role in human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) associated immunopathology suggests this study.

MT FISH less effective for idiopathic MR

Patients with unexplained mental retardation (MR) and a chromosomal imbalance show an absence of subtelomeric rearrangements when assessed by Multiprobe T Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (MT FISH) probe.
