"This book offers a detailed overview of translational bioinformatics together with real-case applications. Translational bioinformatics integrates the areas of basic bioinformatics, clinical informatics, statistical genetics and informatics in order to further our understanding of the molecular basis of diseases. By analyzing voluminous amounts of molecular and clinical data, it also provides clinical information, which can then be applied. Filling the gap between clinic research and informatics, the book is a valuable resource for human geneticists, clinicians, health educators and policy makers, as well as graduate students majoring in biology, biostatistics, and bioinformatics.

"This book covers the basic concepts of epigenetic epidemiology, discusses challenges in study design, analysis, and interpretation, epigenetic laboratory techniques, the influence of of age and environmental factors on shaping the epigenome, the role of epigenetics in the developmental origins hypothesis, and provides the state of the art on the epigenetic epidemiology of various health conditions including childhood syndromes, cancer, infectious diseases, inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, obesity and metabolic disorders, and atherosclerosis."

"Ruang Lingkup dan Cara Penelitian : Telah umum diketahui bahwa pada manusia ditemukan penyakit yang berhubungan dengan mutasi DNA mitokondria (DNA mitokondria). Namun mekanisme molekuler yang bertanggung jawab terhadap proses penyakit tersebut belum jelas diketahui. Salah satu contoh yang khas dari penyakit akibat mutasi DNA mitokondria adalah Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), yang mempunyai pola pewarisan maternal. Karakteristik khas dari LHON berupa kebutaan mendadak akibat atrofi saraf optik bilateral ditemukan pada sebagian anggota keluarga tertentu penderita LHON. 50-70% keluarga LHON membawa mutasi pada nukleotida 11778G>A, gen yang menyandi subunit ND4 Bari kompleks I enzim rantai respirasi mitokondria. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah: (I) untuk melestarikan galur sel fibroblas dari pasien LHON dengan lesi genetik jelas; (2) menentukan kestabilan genetik dari galur sel tersebut dalam kaitannya dengan mutasi DNA mitokondria 11778G>A; dan (3) menentukan akibat mutasi DNA mitokondria 11778G>A terhadap aktivitas kompleks I enzim rantai respirasi pada galur sel Mi. Untuk pelestarian galur sel fibroblas, digunakan biopsi kulit dari dua anggota keluarga besar penderita LHON keturunan Cina berasal dari Jambi, dengan mutasi DNA mitokondria I 1778G>A yang hampir homoplasmi. Untuk mengungkapkan kestabilan sifat genetik galur sel fibroblas di atas, derajat heteroplasmisitas DNA mitokondria termutasi ditemukan dengan teknik PCR-RFLP. Sei fibroblas awal sebelum dipasase ternyata hampir homoplasmi terhadap DNA mitokondria termutasi. Untuk melihat akibat mutasi DNA mitokondria 11778G>A terhadap aktivitas kompleks I pada sel fibroblas pasien LHON dilakukan uji histokimiawi NADH-tetrazolium dehidrogenase (NADH-TD) yang mencerrninkan aktivitas kompleks I karena mencakup sebagian besar reaksi kompleks I. Aktivitas tersebut diukur secara mikrofotometrik menggunakan Micro Photometer MSP21 (Carl Zeiss, Jarman). Hasil dan Kesimpulan : Sifat homoplasmisitas pada DNA mitokondria kedua pasien LHON tersebut terlihat pada beberapa jaringan. Galur sel fibroblas yang homoplasmi berhasil dikembangkan dari biopsi kulit kedua pasien LHON tersebut. Setelah 10 generasi dan setelah dilakukan beberapa biakan paralel, terbukti kedua galur sel tersebut tetap stabil mendekati homoplasmi terhadap DNA mitokondria termutasi. Akibat mutasi DNA mitokondria 11778G>A berupa penurunan bermakna sekitar 30% dari aktivitas NADH-TD pada sel fibroblas pasien LHON dibandingkan kontrol normal."

"This book provides a state-of-the-art approach to the molecular basis of hematologic diseases and its translation into improved diagnostics and novel therapeutic strategies. Several representative hemato-oncologic malignancies are analyzed in detail: acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphomas, multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and myeloproliferative neoplasms. Experts in the field describe the molecular methods applied for modern diagnostics and therapies, such as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, donor recipient matching, banking of biological material, analyses of post-transplant chimerism, and minimal residual disease monitoring. The volume concludes with an extensive section comprising thorough step-by-step protocols of molecular techniques in hematology, all of them validated in the authors? own laboratories."

"This updated edition features concise background information on chromosome methods and applications, essential information on heteromorphism frequencies in normal and clinical populations as well as new listing and discussions of euchromatic, subtelomeric and FISH variants. The addition of two new sections make this an even more valuable reference than before. A section on common and rare fragile sites includes a short historical discussion, definitions and an extensive table of officially recognized sites that includes the HUGO name, chromosomal location, methods of induction, genes and references to the most recent molecular characterization. A new section on array CGH discusses the clinical challenge of interpreting copy number variations (CNVs) revealed by this newest technology, gives examples of various levels of interpretation and lists the several most common websites used in this interpretation."

"JIMD reports publishes case and short research reports in the area of inherited metabolic disorders. Case reports highlight some unusual or previously unrecorded feature relevant to the disorder, or serve as an important reminder of clinical or biochemical features of a mendelian disorder."

"This book enables those who are involved in genomics research, whether as researcher, participant or policy maker, to understand the ethical issues currently developing in this field and to participate actively in these important debates. A clear account is given of how science and technology are outstripping the capacity of previous ethical regulations to cope with current issues, together with practical illustrations of possible ways forward. Key ethical ideas are presented, drawing on the history of research regulation and on an account of the particular challenges arising in the field of genomics. The book uses a grounded, practical approach to explaining ethical concepts and issues which is geared to enhancing interdisciplinary dialogue. Its broad approach to ethical issues includes relevant considerations from social psychology and there is a particular emphasis on understanding the problems of ethical regulations and practice in the institutional and social context of research.
