The human neuralized homolog (NEURL) has been recently determined and found to map to chromosome 10q25.1 within the region frequently deleted in malignant astrocytomas. Because of its potential importance in developmental processes, we analyzed the structure of the mouse homolog, Neurl, and its expression pattern in embryonic tissues. Neurl activity is detected from early developmental stages in several tissues and organs including neural tissues, limbs, the skeletal system, sense organs and internal organs undergoing epithelialm esenchymal interactions. Neurl encodes a polypeptide associated with the plasma membrane but also detected in the cytoplasm. Similarly to the Drosophila gene, mammalian neuralized may code for an important regulatory factor.

The molecular basis of Marfan syndrome has been elucidated, thus allowing prenatal diagnosis. Life expectancy has markedly improved due to the widespread use of beta-adrenergic receptor inhibitors and improved surgical management of the aortic disease.

Manifestations are present at birth. We ascertained a 4-generation family exhibiting the clinical manifestations of the disorder. Previous evidence suggesting defects of type II collagen associated with the SEDC phenotype led us to genotype the family for various COL2A1 gene-associated RFLPs. A total of 17 affected and unaffected members of this family were studied. The family was informative for a recently discovered Hinfl RFLP. No recombinants between the marker and the phenotype were found in eight informative meioses. A maximum LOD score of 3.01 was obtained at a recombination fraction of .00. Our results indicate that the SEDC phenotype in this family is caused by mutations in or very close to the COL2A1 locus.

The remaining 22 patients with T1G3 are still progression free. The multivariate analysis showed that the mean variable of early progression was the istopathological findings of the restaging TURB (pϭ0.01), followed by the results of the first cystoscopy (pϭ0,002) and the presence of CIS (pϭ0.02). Conclusion: Restaging TURB in patients affected by superficial disease of high grade identify subjects with high rate of early progression. These efforts permit to select the patients who need an immediate radical surgical treatment (early cistectomy) to have a better follow up and impact survival.

Timely and accurate diagnosis has reduced the mortality and morbidity associated with this disorder through expectant observation and implementation of appropriate prophylactic therapy. To this end, haplotype analysis using polymorphic genetic markers in close proximity to the Fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1) were employed to aid in the diagnosis of two individuals who did not meet the clinical diagnostic criteria.
