Mutation analysis in CHST3, the gene encoding for the chondroitin 6-O-sulfotransferase-1 (C6ST-1), revealed a homozygous missense mutation (T141M) in exon 3 in all three affected members of the family. Using recombinant C6ST-1, we showed that the identified missense mutation results in a reduction of C6ST-1 activity to 24-29% of the wild type protein. In addition to the previously noted skeletal features, affected members of this family also had cardiac involvement including mitral, tricuspid and/or aortic regurgitations and type E brachydactyly.

As a part of my multi-sited fieldwork 2 , it will illustrate selected aspects of migrant`s everyday life and the health related consequences of settling-down practices in migration. Gule 3`s case study highlights insider perspectives and provides a brief overview of the life of migrants from Turkey in Switzerland. The concepts of social practices and social capital are applied in discussing the dynamic of how resources are established and converted into different forms of capital in the quest for health, in a migrationspecific context. beside demographic factors and basic conditions, such as gender, age, education, civil status and family background, special attention is paid to other factors such as the type of migration to Switzerland, legal status (resident and work permit) and living-working conditions, which can be seen as significantly informing everyday life in Switzerland and, consequently, the health-status of migrants. I argue that the (first) settling-down practices of migrants are characterized by diverse healthrelated experiences, from regulations and disciplinary practices of authorities to solidarity in the migrants' neighborhood. Migrants, who transfer their capital into other forms of capital, maximize their chances to achieve new forms of capital (e.g. obtaining a legal status) and, to remain in the positive pole of health-illness continuums and towards their general well being. However, migrants who do not have such resources or who cannot transfer their capital effectively face increased health risks.
