Biological context of Northern Ireland

 

Anatomical context of Northern Ireland

  • Using a combination of PCR-SSOP and serologically determined types for 5000 individuals on the local bone marrow registry, HLA-B frequencies for the Northern Ireland population have been calculated [25].
  • Polymerase chain reaction-sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes typing methods have been applied to 1000 individuals from the Northern Ireland population to give human leukocyte antigen DRB1 (HLA-DRB1) allele assignment [26].
  • SETTING: Community based study in Northern Ireland. SUBJECTS: From a screening sample of 101 healthy elderly people, 52 had sub-optimal riboflavin status (erythrocyte glutathione reductase activation coefficient, EGRAC>or=1.20) and were invited to participate in the study [27].
  • DNA sequencing of cloned TK fragments from the sacral ganglia of two feral swine, showed only one nucleotide difference between the two fragments and extensive sequence homology to fragment sequences from various domestic swine PRV strains from China, Northern Ireland, and the USA [28].
 

Associations of Northern Ireland with chemical compounds

  • Four centers, Northern Ireland (coordinator), England, Denmark, and France, using different experimental protocols, examined the effect of Cu supplementation (3 or 6 mg/d) on top of normal Cu dietary intakes or Cu-controlled diets (0.7/1.6/6.0 mg/d), on Cu-mediated and peroxynitrite-initiated LDL oxidation in apparently healthy volunteers [29].
  • This effect, which was essentially due to wine consumption in France and to nonwine consumption in Northern Ireland, was largely attenuated by the introduction of high density lipoprotein cholesterol into the model [30].
  • Analysis of 828 servicemen killed or injured by explosion in Northern Ireland 1970-84: the Hostile Action Casualty System [31].
  • Glycopeptide-resistant enterococci in Northern Ireland: first reported outbreak [32].
  • Increased incidence of ciprofloxacin resistance in penicillin-resistant pneumococci in Northern Ireland [33].
 

Gene context of Northern Ireland

  • The results from this study suggest that possession of the BCHE K allele constitutes a significant risk for AD in the Northern Ireland population and, furthermore, this risk increases with increasing age [6].
  • A single base deletion (211delG) in the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene was shown to cause familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) in a large family from Northern Ireland. Twenty-four of 52 family members tested had this mutation, 13 of which were newly diagnosed [34].
  • The results from this study suggest that individuals who have the 9,9 genotype of the VLDL-R gene are at increased risk of AD in Northern Ireland [35].
  • We have genotyped both LRP polymorphisms and two polymorphisms in the A2M gene in a large group of clinically well-defined AD cases and controls from the relatively genetically homogeneous Northern Ireland population [36].
  • We have studied hair keratin genes and clinical features in 18 unrelated pedigrees of monilethrix from Germany, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Portugal, in 13 of which mutations have not previously been identified [37].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Northern Ireland

  • The tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content of more than 180 samples of fresh illicit Cannabis products, seized by H.M. Customs and Excise on entry into Great Britain and Northern Ireland over the period 1984-1989, has been determined by gas chromatography [38].
  • This cross-sectional study of 400 sera from a randomly selected adult population in Northern Ireland, using a microimmunofluorescence assay, demonstrated high overall seropositivity (70%) for IgG Chlamydia pneumoniae antibodies in developed populations [39].
  • POPULATION AND SETTING: A total of 37,512 women from 276 NHS and 145 private hospitals in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, originally recruited to compare the outcomes of endometrial destruction with those of hysterectomy [40].
