Rare variants in at least 10 genes, including BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, ATM, and CHEK2, are associated with increased risk of breast cancer; however, these variants, in combination with common variants identified through genome-wide association studies, explain only a fraction of the familial aggregation of the disease. To identify further susceptibility genes, we performed a two-stage whole-exome sequencing study. In the discovery stage, samples from 1528 breast cancer cases enriched for breast cancer susceptibility and 3733 geographically matched unaffected controls were sequenced. Using five different filtering and gene prioritization strategies, 198 genes were selected for further validation. These genes, and a panel of 32 known or suspected breast cancer susceptibility genes, were assessed in a validation set of 6211 cases and 6019 controls for their association with risk of breast cancer overall, and by estrogen receptor (ER) disease subtypes, using gene burden tests applied to loss-of-function and rare missense variants. Twenty genes showed nominal evidence of association (p-value < 0.05) with either overall or subtype-specific breast cancer. Our study had the statistical power to detect susceptibility genes with effect sizes similar to ATM, CHEK2, and PALB2, however, it was underpowered to identify genes in which susceptibility variants are rarer or confer smaller effect sizes. Larger sample sizes would be required in order to identify such genes.
Sila-Pridinol (2 b), ein Sila-Analogon des Anticholinergicums Pridinol (2a), wurde auf zwei verschiedenen Wegen dargestellt. Die Kristall- und Molekülstrukturen von 2 a und 2 b wurden röntgenstrukturanalytisch bestimmt. 2a bildet im festen Zustand intramolekulare Wasserstoffbrückenbindungen aus, während sich in kristallinem 2 b zentrosymmetrische, durch intermolekulare H-Brückenbindungen verknüpfte cyclische Dimere finden. IR- und \8^1\)H-NMR-spektroskopische sowie kryoskopische Untersuchungen ergaben Informationen über die Strukturen von 2a und 2 b in verschiedenen Lösungsmitteln. - Die pharmakologischen und toxikologischen Eigen" schaften von 2a und 2b wurden unter dem Gesichtspunkt bekannter Struktur-Wirkungs-Beziehungen vergleichend untersucht. 2 b erwies sich als ein etwa fünfmal so starkes Anticholincrgicum wie 2a.
Starting from trichloro(vinyl)silane (Cl\(_3\)SiCH=CH\(_2\)), the musearinic antagonists sila-biperiden [rac-(SiRS,C2SR>-ao-2] and endosila- biperiden [rac-(SiRS,C2SR)-endo-2] were prepared by a seven-step synthesis. Both silanols are configurationally stableininert organic solvents but undergo slow epimerization in aqueous solution (pH 7.4, 32°C) by inversion of the configuration at the silicon atom. The relative configurations of sila-biperiden and endo-sila-biperiden were detennined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds form intennolecular 0-H · · · N hydrogen bonds in the crystal leading to the fonnation of centrosymmetric dimers (sila-biperiden) and infinite chains (endo-sila-biperiden), respectively. Sila-biperiden is a silicon analogue (C/Si exchange) of the antiparkinsonian drug biperiden [rac-(CRS/C2SR}-exo-1]. In functional phannacological experiments, as well as in radioligand competition studies, biperiden, sila-biperiden and endo-sila-biperiden behaved as simple competitive antagonists at muscarinic Ml-, M2-, M3- and M4-receptors. The three compounds displayed the highest affinity for Ml-receptors (pA\(_2\) values: 8.72-8.80; pK\(_i\) values: 8.8-9.1), intermediate affinity for M4- and M3-receptors, and lowest affinity for M2-receptors (pA\(_2\) values: 7.57-7.79; pK\(_i\) values: 7.7-7.8). The affinity profile (Ml >. M4 > M3 > M2) of biperiden, sila-biperiden and endo-sila-biperiden is qualitatively similar to that of the M1-selective muscarinic antagonist pirenzepine. The antimuscarinic properlies of the C/Si analogues biperiden and sila-biperiden are almost identical.
Durch Racematspaltung mit L-( + )- bzw. o-(-}-Weinsäure wurden die Enantiomere des Sila-Procyclidins (R}-1 b und (S}-1 b erhalten (>97% ce (NMR), 99.7% ee {DSC)]. Daraus wurden die Hydrochloride (R}-2b und (S)-lb und durch Umsetzung mit CH31 die Enantiomerc des Sila-Tricyclamol-iodids (R)-3b und (S}-3b [>96% ee (NMR)] hergestelll Die optisch aktiven Silanoie sind in k:ristalliner Form und in inerten Lösungsmitteln konfigurationsstabil. während sie in wässeriger Lösung raoemisieren (3 b schneller als 111). In. Analogie zur Stereoselektivität der antimuskarin. iscben Wirkung der Enantiomere der Kohlenstoff-Analoga Procyclidin (la) und Tricyclamol-iodid (3a) besitzen die (R)Enantiomere von 1 b und 311 eine größere Affinität zu den ilealen M2&- und atrialen M2ar-Muskarinrezeptorcn des Meerschwein,;, cbens als die (S)-Antipoden. Alle Silicium-Verbindungen sind stärker antiinuskarinisch wirksam als ihre Kohlenstoff-Analoga, deren Stereoselektivität jedoch stärker ausgeprägt ist. Die Unterschiede in der A1Tmität von (R}-1 b und (S)-1 b zu den ilealen und atrialen Muskarinrezeptoren bestätigen das Konzept der Heterogenität musk:arinis.cher M 2-Rezeptoren (M 2\(_\alpha\): atrialer Typ; M2\(_\beta\): ilealer Typ).
Enantioselective reduction of acetyldimethylphenylsilane by Trigonopsis variabilis (DSM 70714)
(1987)
Growing and resting cells of the yeast Trigonapsis variabilis (DSM 70714) can be used for the enantioselective reduction of the organosilicon compound acetyldimethylphenylsilane (J) to give optically active (R)-(1-hydroxyethyl)dimethylphenylsilane [(R)-2] in good yields. The enantiomeric purity of the isolated product was determined tobe 62-86% ee depending on the substrate concentration used. Both substrate and product caused an inhibition of the reaction at concentrations higher than 0.35 and 0.5 g/1, respectively. Besides, higher substrate and product concentrations led to increased formation of the by-product 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-diphenyldisiloxane. Considering the limiting substrate and product concentrations, it was possible to use the same biomass at least 5 times without significant loss of enzyme activity. 3-Methyl-3-phenyl-2-butanone (5) and acetyldimethylphenylgermane (7), which represent carbon and germanium analogues of 1, were also found to be accepted as substrates by Trigonapsis variabilis (DSM 70714). The reduction rates of the silicon {1) and germanium compound {7) were much higher than the transformation rate of the corresponding carbon analogue 5.

Eczema often precedes the development of asthma in a disease course called the 'atopic march'. To unravel the genes underlying this characteristic pattern of allergic disease, we conduct a multi-stage genome-wide association study on infantile eczema followed by childhood asthma in 12 populations including 2,428 cases and 17,034 controls. Here we report two novel loci specific for the combined eczema plus asthma phenotype, which are associated with allergic disease for the first time; rs9357733 located in EFHC1 on chromosome 6p12.3 (OR 1.27; P = 2.1 x 10(-8)) and rs993226 between TMTC2 and SLC6A15 on chromosome 12q21.3 (OR 1.58; P = 5.3 x 10(-9)). Additional susceptibility loci identified at genome-wide significance are FLG (1q21.3), IL4/KIF3A (5q31.1), AP5B1/OVOL1 (11q13.1), C11orf30/LRRC32 (11q13.5) and IKZF3 (17q21). We show that predominantly eczema loci increase the risk for the atopic march. Our findings suggest that eczema may play an important role in the development of asthma after eczema.
In the course of systematic studies on sila-substituted drugs the nifedipine-like 1.4-dihydropyridine derivatives 4a, 4b and 4c were prepared and investigated with respect to sila-substitution effects. By X-ray diffraction analyses 4a, 4b and 4c were found to be isostructural. The C/Si-analogues exhibit similar spasmolytic activities (in vitro, guinea pig ileum), comparable with that of nifedipine. However, the compounds differ substantially in their in vivo activity, as measured by the antihypertensive effect on the renal-hypertensive rat. The experimental results are discussed with respect to the carbon/silicon exchange.
