T1 - Genome-wide association and transcriptome studies identify target genes and risk loci for breast cancer
JF - Nature Communications
N2 - Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 170 breast cancer susceptibility loci. Here we hypothesize that some risk-associated variants might act in non-breast tissues, specifically adipose tissue and immune cells from blood and spleen. Using expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) reported in these tissues, we identify 26 previously unreported, likely target genes of overall breast cancer risk variants, and 17 for estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer, several with a known immune function. We determine the directional effect of gene expression on disease risk measured based on single and multiple eQTL. In addition, using a gene-based test of association that considers eQTL from multiple tissues, we identify seven (and four) regions with variants associated with overall (and ER-negative) breast cancer risk, which were not reported in previous GWAS. Further investigation of the function of the implicated genes in breast and immune cells may provide insights into the etiology of breast cancer.

T1 - Two truncating variants in FANCC and breast cancer risk
JF - Scientific Reports
N2 - Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder with 22 disease-causing genes reported to date. In some FA genes, monoallelic mutations have been found to be associated with breast cancer risk, while the risk associations of others remain unknown. The gene for FA type C, FANCC, has been proposed as a breast cancer susceptibility gene based on epidemiological and sequencing studies. We used the Oncoarray project to genotype two truncating FANCC variants (p.R185X and p.R548X) in 64,760 breast cancer cases and 49,793 controls of European descent. FANCC mutations were observed in 25 cases (14 with p.R185X, 11 with p.R548X) and 26 controls (18 with p.R185X, 8 with p.R548X). There was no evidence of an association with the risk of breast cancer, neither overall (odds ratio 0.77, 95%CI 0.44–1.33, p = 0.4) nor by histology, hormone receptor status, age or family history. We conclude that the breast cancer risk association of these two FANCC variants, if any, is much smaller than for BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 mutations. If this applies to all truncating variants in FANCC it would suggest there are differences between FA genes in their roles on breast cancer risk and demonstrates the merit of large consortia for clarifying risk associations of rare variants.

N2 - Die Reaktion von Tetrachlordiazocyclopentadien mit Be.nzvalen (2) ergab das Fulven-Derivat 3. Dagegen führten die Umsetzungen von Diazoßuoren und 5-Diazo-10,1 1-dihydro-SH-dibenzo[ a.d]cyclohepten mit 2 zu den erwarteten Spiro-1-pyrazolinen 4 bzw. 5. Die photolytische Abspaltung von Stickstoff aus 4 und 5 lieferte die Spirotetracycloheptane 6 bzw. 7. Die Röntgenstrukturanalyse von 6 beweist einen engen Kontakt zwischen je eineßl Wasserstoffatom der Tetracycloheptan- und der Fluoren-Einheit. Dieser kurze Abstand (2.15 A) ruft Winkelaufweitungen hervor und wird auch als Grund für starke Entschirmungen der betreffenden Protonen und eine formal über sieben Bindungen reichende 0.6-Hz-Kopplung zwischen ihnen angesehen. 7 ist das erste chiralc Tetracyclohcptan. Ursache dafür ist eine nichtebene Konformation des Siebenrings, der bei Raumtemperatur nicht invertiert. Auf der Basis von NOE-Messungen gelang die Zuordnung der tH-NMR-Signale von 6 und 7.
N2 - The reaction or tctrachlorodiazocyclopentadiene with benzvalene (2) gavc, the fulvene derivative 3. In contrast, treatment of diazoßuorene and 5-diazo-1 0,1 1-dihydro·SH -dibenzo[ a,d]cycloheptene with l:afl'orded the expected spiro-1-pyrazolines 4 and 5, respectively. Photolytic extrusion of nitrogen from 4 and S led to the corresponding spirotetracyclobeptanes 6 and 7. The X-ray structure analysis of 6 revealed a close contact between one hydrogen atom cach of the tetracycloheptane and the ßuorene subunits. This short distance (2.15 A) causes an increase in bond angles and is believed to produce strong deshielding of the respective protons and a 0.6-Hz coupling between them, which is formally a long-range coupling across seven bonds. Compound 7 is the first chirat tetracycloheptane. This is due to a nonplanar confonnation of the seven-membered ring, which does not invert at room temperature. On tbe basis of NOE measurements the 1H-NMR signals of 6 and 7 are assigned.

T1 - Several Polycyclic Valence Isomers of Dimethyl [14]Annulene-1,8-dicarboxylate. Reactivity of a "Nonconjugated" Bis(bicyclo[1.1.0]butane)
N2 - Diels-Alder reaction of dimethyl 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylate (5) with benzvalene (4), norbornene, and norbornadiene afforded the azo compounds 7 and 8. Theseare derivatives of 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene as is azo compound 3, which had been obtained previously from 5 and 2 equiv of benzvalene (4). The photochemical extrusion of nitrogen from 3, 7, and 8 has been studied. Whereas 7 and 8 on direct irradiation in benzene gave rise exclusively to the bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane derivatives 9 and 10, respectively, from 3 in addition to the bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane 11, the diolefin 1l was formed. Diolefin 12 has cisdouble bonds in the nine-membered ring and is fixed in a boat conformation in a manner so that the two bicyclobutane systems approach each other very closely. This geometry suggests the unusual ring opening of the intermediate 1,4-cyclohexanediyl diradical from a boat conformation, which arises by inversion of the primarily generated boat conformation. Sensitized photolysis of 3 as weilasthat of ll produced the saturated isomer 13 of 11 and 12. The proximity of the bicyclobutane systems in 1l causes unprecedented reactions leading to cage compounds. When ll was heated at 90 °C, a rearrangement to the pentacyclic product 10 took place. Utilization of tetradeuteriated substrate ll-d4 supported a pathway with two diradical intermediates. Behaving in a convcntional manncr, bicyclobutane 9 and bis(bicyclobutane) 11 took up 1 and 2 equiv of thiophenol most probably in a radical-chain addition to give the thioethers 28 and 19, respectively. In contrast, bis(bicyclobutane) ll was converted by 1 equiv of thiophenol into cagc compound 30 in a process involving both the strained a systems. Heating at 80 °C subjected 30 to a reversible Copc rearrangement, resulting in a 6:1 mixture of 31 and 30. When it was treated with bromine, 11 was transformed to cage compound 38. This addition is believed to proceed via a cationic intermediate. The structure of cage compound 10 was established by a singlc-crystal X-ray analysis of dialcohol 11 prepared from 20 and methyllithium.

T1 - Prevalence and determinants of systolic and diastolic cardiac dysfunction and heart failure in acute ischemic stroke patients: The SICFAIL study
JF - ESC Heart Failure
N2 - Aims
Ischaemic stroke (IS) might induce alterations of cardiac function. Prospective data on frequency of cardiac dysfunction and heart failure (HF) after IS are lacking. We assessed prevalence and determinants of diastolic dysfunction (DD), systolic dysfunction (SD), and HF in patients with acute IS.
Methods and results
The Stroke‐Induced Cardiac FAILure in mice and men (SICFAIL) study is a prospective, hospital‐based cohort study. Patients with IS underwent a comprehensive assessment of cardiac function in the acute phase (median 4 days after IS) including clinical examination, standardized transthoracic echocardiography by expert sonographers, and determination of blood‐based biomarkers. Information on demographics, lifestyle, risk factors, symptoms suggestive of HF, and medical history was collected by a standardized personal interview. Applying current guidelines, cardiac dysfunction was classified based on echocardiographic criteria into SD (left ventricular ejection fraction < 52% in men or <54% in women) and DD (≥3 signs of DD in patients without SD). Clinically overt HF was classified into HF with reduced, mid‐range, or preserved ejection fraction. Between January 2014 and February 2017, 696 IS patients were enrolled. Of them, patients with sufficient echocardiographic data on SD were included in the analyses {n = 644 patients [median age 71 years (interquartile range 60–78), 61.5% male]}. In these patients, full assessment of DD was feasible in 549 patients without SD (94%). Prevalence of cardiac dysfunction and HF was as follows: SD 9.6% [95% confidence interval (CI) 7.6–12.2%]; DD in patients without SD 23.3% (95% CI 20.0–27.0%); and clinically overt HF 5.4% (95% CI 3.9–7.5%) with subcategories of HF with preserved ejection fraction 4.35%, HF with mid‐range ejection fraction 0.31%, and HF with reduced ejection fraction 0.78%. In multivariable analysis, SD and fulfilment of HF criteria were associated with history of coronary heart disease [SD: odds ratio (OR) 3.87, 95% CI 1.93–7.75, P = 0.0001; HF: OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.04–5.05, P = 0.0406] and high‐sensitive troponin T at baseline (SD: OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.31–2.42, P = 0.0003; HF: OR 1.66, 95% CI 1.17–2.33, P = 0.004); DD was associated with older age (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.05–1.11, P < 0.0001) and treated hypertension vs. no hypertension (OR 2.84, 95% CI 1.23–6.54, P = 0.0405).
Conclusions
A substantial proportion of the study population exhibited subclinical and clinical cardiac dysfunction. SICFAIL provides reliable data on prevalence and determinants of SD, DD, and clinically overt HF in patients with acute IS according to current guidelines, enabling further clarification of its aetiological and prognostic role.

T1 - Pregnant and postpartum women requiring intensive care treatment for COVID-19 — first data from the CRONOS-registry
JF - Journal of Clinical Medicine
N2 - (1) Background: Data on coronavirus 2 infection during pregnancy vary. We aimed to describe maternal characteristics and clinical presentation of SARS-CoV-2 positive women requiring intensive care treatment for COVID-19 during pregnancy and postpartum period based on data of a comprehensive German surveillance system in obstetric patients. (2) Methods: Data from COVID-19 Related Obstetric and Neonatal Outcome Study (CRONOS), a prospective multicenter registry for SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnant women, was analyzed with respect to ICU treatment. All women requiring intensive care treatment for COVID-19 were included and compared regarding maternal characteristics, course of disease, as well as maternal and neonatal outcomes. (3) Results: Of 2650 cases in CRONOS, 101 women (4%) had a documented ICU stay. Median maternal age was 33 (IQR, 30–36) years. COVID-19 was diagnosed at a median gestational age of 33 (IQR, 28–35) weeks. As the most invasive form of COVID-19 treatment interventions, patients received either continuous monitoring of vital signs without further treatment requirement (n = 6), insufflation of oxygen (n = 30), non-invasive ventilation (n = 22), invasive ventilation (n = 28), or escalation to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (n = 15). No significant clinical differences were identified between patients receiving different forms of ventilatory support for COVID-19. Prevalence of preterm delivery was significantly higher in women receiving invasive respiratory treatments. Four women died of COVID-19 and six fetuses were stillborn. (4) Conclusions: Our cohort shows that progression of COVID-19 is rare in pregnant and postpartum women treated in the ICU. Preterm birth rate is high and COVID-19 requiring respiratory support increases the risk of poor maternal and neonatal outcome.
