Abstract
Resumen: Al igual que en otras dictaduras del Cono Sur, durante la última dictadura militar argentina (1976-1983), las mujeres detenidas fueron víctimas de distintas formas de violencia sexual. Recién en los últimos años, luego de la reapertura de los juicios por delitos de lesa humanidad y con una cantidad considerable de resistencias, se empezó a considerar la posibilidad de juzgar la violencia sexual como un delito diferenciado de los tormentos. En el presente trabajo nos proponemos dar cuenta de los principales debates jurídicos en torno a la posibilidad de juzgar estos delitos y argumentaremos en favor de la posibilidad de dicho juzgamiento.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Iberian Peninsula stands out as having variable levels of population admixture and isolation, making Spain an interesting setting for studying the genetic architecture of neurodegenerative diseases. OBJECTIVES To perform the largest PD genome-wide association study restricted to a single country. METHODS We performed a GWAS for both risk of PD and age at onset in 7,849 Spanish individuals. Further analyses included population-specific risk haplotype assessments, polygenic risk scoring through machine learning, Mendelian randomization of expression, and methylation data to gain insight into disease-associated loci, heritability estimates, genetic correlations, and burden analyses. RESULTS We identified a novel population-specific genome-wide association study signal at PARK2 associated with age at onset, which was likely dependent on the c.155delA mutation. We replicated four genome-wide independent signals associated with PD risk, including SNCA, LRRK2, KANSL1/MAPT, and HLA-DQB1. A significant trend for smaller risk haplotypes at known loci was found compared to similar studies of non-Spanish origin. Seventeen PD-related genes showed functional consequence by two-sample Mendelian randomization in expression and methylation data sets. Long runs of homozygosity at 28 known genes/loci were found to be enriched in cases versus controls. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrate the utility of the Spanish risk haplotype substructure for future fine-mapping efforts, showing how leveraging unique and diverse population histories can benefit genetic studies of complex diseases. The present study points to PARK2 as a major hallmark of PD etiology in Spain. © 2019 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
The Acute Cardiac Care Association (ACCA)–European Association of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (EAPCI) Registry on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) of the EurObservational programme (EORP) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) registry aimed to determine the current state of the use of reperfusion therapy in ESC member and ESC affiliated countries and the adherence to ESC STEMI guidelines in patients with STEMI.
Methods and results
Between 1 January 2015 and 31 March 2018, a total of 11 462 patients admitted with an initial diagnosis of STEMI according to the 2012 ESC STEMI guidelines were enrolled. Individual patient data were collected across 196 centres and 29 countries. Among the centres, there were 136 percutaneous coronary intervention centres and 91 with cardiac surgery on-site. The majority of centres (129/196) were part of a STEMI network. The main objective of this study was to describe the demographic, clinical, and angiographic characteristics of patients with STEMI. Other objectives include to assess management patterns and in particular the current use of reperfusion therapies and to evaluate how recommendations of most recent STEMI European guidelines regarding reperfusion therapies and adjunctive pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments are adopted in clinical practice and how their application can impact on patients’ outcomes. Patients will be followed for 1 year after admission.
Conclusion
The ESC ACCA-EAPCI EORP ACS STEMI registry is an international registry of care and outcomes of patients hospitalized with STEMI. It will provide insights into the contemporary patient profile, management patterns, and 1-year outcome of patients with STEMI.

Abstract
Risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), the most prevalent dementia, is partially driven by genetics. To identify LOAD risk loci, we performed a large genome-wide association meta-analysis of clinically diagnosed LOAD (94,437 individuals). We confirm 20 previous LOAD risk loci and identify five new genome-wide loci (IQCK, ACE, ADAM10, ADAMTS1, and WWOX), two of which (ADAM10, ACE) were identified in a recent genome-wide association (GWAS)-by-familial-proxy of Alzheimer's or dementia. Fine-mapping of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region confirms the neurological and immune-mediated disease haplotype HLA-DR15 as a risk factor for LOAD. Pathway analysis implicates immunity, lipid metabolism, tau binding proteins, and amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism, showing that genetic variants affecting APP and Aβ processing are associated not only with early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease but also with LOAD. Analyses of risk genes and pathways show enrichment for rare variants (P = 1.32 × 10-7), indicating that additional rare variants remain to be identified. We also identify important genetic correlations between LOAD and traits such as family history of dementia and education.

Abstract
We identified rare coding variants associated with Alzheimer's disease in a three-stage case-control study of 85,133 subjects. In stage 1, we genotyped 34,174 samples using a whole-exome microarray. In stage 2, we tested associated variants (P < 1 × 10-4) in 35,962 independent samples using de novo genotyping and imputed genotypes. In stage 3, we used an additional 14,997 samples to test the most significant stage 2 associations (P < 5 × 10-8) using imputed genotypes. We observed three new genome-wide significant nonsynonymous variants associated with Alzheimer's disease: a protective variant in PLCG2 (rs72824905: p.Pro522Arg, P = 5.38 × 10-10, odds ratio (OR) = 0.68, minor allele frequency (MAF)cases = 0.0059, MAFcontrols = 0.0093), a risk variant in ABI3 (rs616338: p.Ser209Phe, P = 4.56 × 10-10, OR = 1.43, MAFcases = 0.011, MAFcontrols = 0.008), and a new genome-wide significant variant in TREM2 (rs143332484: p.Arg62His, P = 1.55 × 10-14, OR = 1.67, MAFcases = 0.0143, MAFcontrols = 0.0089), a known susceptibility gene for Alzheimer's disease. These protein-altering changes are in genes highly expressed in microglia and highlight an immune-related protein-protein interaction network enriched for previously identified risk genes in Alzheimer's disease. These genetic findings provide additional evidence that the microglia-mediated innate immune response contributes directly to the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: Hindfoot coronal alignment has to be considered in the assessment of patients with foot and ankle complaints, since it guides treatment of certain pathologies. Even when there are multiples techniques described for clinical and radiographic analysis, none of them are widely accepted. The purpose of the present study was to assess the correlation between clinical and radiographic hindfoot alignment measures and to evaluate the reproducibility of both methods. Methods: We evaluated 85 patients with foot and/or ankle symptoms. Hindfoot clinical alignment was evaluated through photographs and radiographic alignment was quantified on Long Axial View radiographs. Measurements were made by two observers. Results: Intraobserver ICC for clinical analysis was good for both observers (ICC 0.78 for each one). Interobserver ICC was moderate for both measurements (ICC 0.58 and 0.56). Regarding radiographic assessment, there was significant intraobserver reliability (observer 1: r = 0.95 and observer 2: r = 0.99; P = <.0001). The interobserver reliability was also significant, r = 0.92 for the first measurement and r = 0.95 for the second measurement; P = <.0001. The correlation between both methods was weak for both observers. Observer 1: ICC 0.072; P = .24 for the first measurement and ICC 0.167 P = .029 for the second measurement. Observer 2: ICC 0.23 P = < .001 for the first measurement and ICC 0.137 P = .021 for the second measurement. Conclusion: We found a weak intra and interobserver correlation between clinical and radiographic assessment. However, we emphasize the importance of performing a complete clinical evaluation and to complement it with a standardized radiographic examination, including a reproducible technique and measurement method.

Abstract
Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: Thromboembolic complications during lower-limb immobilization after Achilles tendon ruptures are common. Both operative and nonoperative treatments of Achilles rupture include a period of immobilization which is a well- documented risk factor for distal vein thrombosis. Curiously, there is a gap in literature linking the diagnosis of thromboembolic events to the Achilles rupture previous to the inmobilization. The term DTV refers to the anterior/posterior tibial or the peroneal veins, i.e. those that correspond to arterial structures and comprise the profound vein system. Although still with little agreement, the role of muscular vein thrombosis or isolated gastrocnemius or soleus vein thrombosis are gaining relevance within the current published data, despite there is no report of it association with tendo Achilles rupture before or after the initiation of treatment. Methods: Case report: Five consecutive patients with a diagnosis of traumatic Achilles rupture were evaluated. All patients sustained non traumatic injuries. One of the patients was a heavy smoker, and two of them had BMI over 25. We routinely execute an ultrasound to locate the rupture site and at the same time color ultrasound Doppler was performed by an expert in vascular echography, before the initiation of treatment. In all cases a thrombosis of the calf muscle veins was found. Surgical treatment was not advice in any of the patients and definitive treatment was conservative. Results: Calf muscle veins are deep veins in the distal lower extremity that are nonpaired and not associated with named tibial arteries. These veins make up a complex venous system of the musculature of the posterior leg and include the soleal and gastrocnemius veins that run as sinusoids within the muscles of the same name. The soleal sinusoids may drain into the midperoneal or posterior tibial veins, whereas the gastrocnemius sinusoids may empty directly into the popliteal vein. Although the real incidence of MVT is extremely variable, in patients presenting with symptoms and signs suspicious for distal vein thrombosis, muscular veins have been shown to be the most common location for thrombosis with 23% to 41% of all patients. Conclusion: Our group of patients was diagnosed before immobilization was established. One plausible explanation could be that the muscle trauma associated with the tendinous rupture may have some influence in the thrombi generation triggering endothelial dysfunction, or affecting the calf muscle pump creating venous stasis, conditions that favour the VTE appearance. It is our perspective that although not well stablished there is at least a theoretical risk of further propagation to the profound venous system and subsequently to the pulmonary system, and this fact not only conditions the treatment of MVT itself, but also the treatment of the Achilles rupture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent exome sequencing studies identified filamin C (FLNC) as a candidate gene for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Our aim was to determine the rate of FLNC candidate variants in a large cohort of HCM patients who were also sequenced for the main sarcomere genes. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 448 HCM patients were next generation-sequenced (semiconductor chip technology) for the MYH7, MYBPC3, TNNT2, TNNI3, ACTC1, TNNC1, MYL2, MYL3, TPM1, and FLNC genes. We also sequenced 450 healthy controls from the same population. Based on the reported population frequencies, bioinformatic criteria, and familial segregation, we identified 20 FLNC candidate variants (13 new; 1 nonsense; and 19 missense) in 22 patients. Compared with the patients, only 1 of the control's missense variants was nonreported (P=0.007; Fisher exact probability test). Based on the familial segregation and the reported functional studies, 6 of the candidate variants (in 7 patients) were finally classified as likely pathogenic, 10 as variants of uncertain significance, and 4 as likely benign. CONCLUSIONS We provide a compelling evidence of the involvement of FLNC in the development of HCM. Most of the FLNC variants were associated with mild forms of HCM and a reduced penetrance, with few affected in the families to confirm the segregation. Our work, together with others who found FLNC variants among patients with dilated and restrictive cardiomyopathies, pointed to this gene as an important cause of structural cardiomyopathies.

Abstract
The expansion of CAG repeats (≥36 CAG) in the HTT gene is the only known genetic cause of Huntington's disease (HD) and the main determinant of the course of the disease. The length of the expanded CAG repeats correlates inversely with the age of onset (AOO) but does not completely determine it. We investigated the role of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene as a modifier factor of AOO in 600 HD patients from Spain. We sequenced the entire region of the MC1R gene and analyzed all the nonsynonymous MC1R genetic variants with a minor allele frequency of at least 0.01 in HD patients. The variability in AOO attributable to the CAG repeats and MC1R polymorphisms was evaluated using a multiple linear regression model. We found that the loss-of-function p. R151C MC1R polymorphism has a significant influence on the AOO (P = 0.004; Bonferroni-corrected P = 0.032) which explains 1.42% of the variance in AOO that cannot be accounted for by the expanded CAG repeat. Our results suggest that the MC1R gene could modify the AOO in Spanish HD patients and encourage the evaluation of loss-of-function MC1R polymorphisms in other HD populations with a higher frequency of these MC1R polymorphisms.

Abstract
Category: Hindfoot Introduction/Purpose: Hindfoot alignment in the coronal plane is an extremely important aspect to consider in order to make a comprehensive evaluation of different foot and ankle disorders. To the authors knowledge the evidence concerning the precision of clinical hindfoot alignment assessment is scarce. The aim of this study is to evaluate correlation and reproducibility between clinical and radiographical hindfoot alignment. Methods: Intra and interobserver reliability of clinical and radiographical hindfoot assessment was performed in 85 patients. Clinical alignment was evaluated on photographs taken at the time of presentation and hindfoot alignment was quantified on long axial view radiographs in neutral rotation position. Photographs were classified into three categories (valgus, neutral and varus) and radiographs were measured taking standardized parameters. Each observer made measurements independently and was blinded to both patient identification and the others’ measurements. All measurements were made on two separate occasions with the order of images randomized. Results: We did not observe a significant correlation between clinical and radiographical assessment (k1a 0,072 - p=0,24; k1b 0,167 - p=0,029; k2a 0,23 - p< 0,001; k2b 0,137 - p=0,021). We did find a good clinical and radiographical intraobserver agreement (K1= 0,789; K2=0,783; Pearson1= 0,956; Pearson2= 0,990). Clinical interobserver agreement was moderate (K1= 0,584; K2=0,566) while radiographical interobserver agreement was statical significant (Pearson1= 0,926; Pearson2= 0,953). Conclusion: Due to a poor clinical-radiographical correlation we should not rely on clinical evaluation to guide the decision making in different foot and ankle conditions. We strongly recommend the use of the long axial view in order to assess the magnitude of the hindfoot deformity.

Abstract
Several common KCNQ1 gene polymorphisms have been associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and diabetic nephropathy. This effect is explained by the role of the kcnq1 protein as a potassium channel that in the pancreatic beta-cells drives an electrical signal that facilitates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. The KCNQ1 gene is also expressed in the kidney, and could thus be implicated in the risk of developing impaired renal function. To test this hypothesis, we genotyped six common KCNQ1 gene variants (three single nucleotide polymorphisms, rs2237892, rs2237895, and rs231362, and three intronic indels) in 681 healthy elderly individuals (>65 years old) from the Spanish Renastur cohort. None of the six variants was associated with T2DM (180 diabetics vs. 581 non-diabetics). The intron 12 insertion allele was associated with a reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR<60, n = 90 vs. eGFR≥60, n = 591; II vs ID + DD genotypes, p = 0.031, OR = 2.06, 95%CI = 1.12-4.14). We also performed a next generation sequencing search of variants in the coding regions of the KCNQ1 gene in 100 individuals with the extreme eGFR values. We found two rare amino acid changes (p.K393N and p.P408A) and the 393 Asn variant was found only among diabetics (n = 4; p = 0.05). The two rare alleles were present in the two eGFR groups. Our results suggest that a common KCNQ1 intron 12 indel polymorphism is a risk factor for impaired renal function independent of T2DM. If this association is confirmed by others, further research to determine the mechanism that drives this association would be warranted.

Abstract
The Sanger sequencing of patients with recessive polycystic kidney disease is challenging due to the length and heterogeneous mutational spectrum of the PKHD1 gene. Next generation sequencing (NGS) might thus be of special interest to search for PKHD1 mutations. The study involved a total of 22 patients with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) and 8 parents of non-available ARPKD patients. Five pools of 6 samples each were sequenced with the Personal Genome Machine (PGM, Ion Torrent). For each DNA pool, a total of 109 fragments that covered the entire PKHD1 coding sequence were amplified in only two tubes followed by library preparation and NGS with the PGM. To validate the technique, each pool contained the DNA of at least one patient with known mutation. The putative mutations identified in each pool were confirmed and assigned to specific individuals through Sanger sequencing. All but one of the 109 amplicons were successfully read, and we identified the two PKHD1 mutations in 11 of the ARPKD cases, one mutation in 9 patients, and no mutation in only 2 patients. Six of the 8 parents from non-available patients were mutation carriers. The reported procedure would facilitate the large scale analysis of PKHD1 with a significant reduction in cost and labor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in at least 30 genes have been linked to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Due to the large size of the main HCM genes, Sanger sequencing is labor intensive and expensive. The purpose was to develop a next-generation sequencing (NGS) procedure for the main HCM genes. METHODS AND RESULTS: Multiplex amplification of the coding exons of MYH7,MYBPC3,TNNT2,TNNI3,ACTC1,TNNC1,MYL2,MYL3, and TPM1 was designated, followed by NGS with the Ion Torrent PGM (Life Technologies). A total of 8 pools containing DNA from HCM patients were sequenced in a 2-step approach. First, a total of 60 patients (validation cohort) underwent both PGM and Sanger sequencing for the 9 genes. No false-negative variants were found on NGS (100% sensitivity), and a specificity of 97% and 80% was achieved for single-nucleotide and insertion/deletion variants, respectively. Second, the PGM was used to search for mutations in a total of 76 cases not previously studied (discovery cohort). A total of 19 putative mutations were identified in the discovery pools, which were confirmed and assigned to specific patients on Sanger sequencing. CONCLUSIONS An NGS procedure has been developed for the main sarcomeric genes that would facilitate the screening of large cohorts of patients. In addition, this procedure would facilitate the uncovering of rare gene variants on a population scale.

Abstract
The deregulation of several microRNAs (miRNAs) has been associated with neurodegenerative processes, including Parkinson's disease (PD). Our aim was to characterize the level of miRNAs in the substantia nigra (SN) of PD patients and healthy donors. This is an important issue to characterize new putative markers and therapeutic targets for PD. RNA was extracted from the SN of postmortem PD (n=8) and healthy (n=4) subjects, and the level of 733 human miRNAs was assayed with TaqMan low-density arrays (TLDAs). Overall, there was a miRNA downregulation in the SN of patients. The mean level of 11 miRNAs was significantly different (p<0.05) between patients and controls, with 10 downregulated among the patients. MiR-198, -135b, -485-5p, and -548d were the best candidates and were quantified with individual TaqMan assays in the 12 samples. MiR-135b showed the most significant difference between patients and healthy donors. The bioinformatic analysis suggested that this miRNA could bind to genes implicated in several neurodegenerative pathways.

Endothelial (NOS3 E298D) and inducible (NOS2 exon 22) nitric oxide synthase polymorphisms, as well as plasma NOx, influence sepsis development. Nitric Oxide 2014; 42:79-86. [PMID: 25239655 DOI: 10.1016/j.niox.2014.09.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2014] [Revised: 07/24/2014] [Accepted: 09/12/2014] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nitric oxide (NO) influences susceptibility to infection and hemodynamic failure (HF) in sepsis. NOS3 and NOS2 SNPs might modify plasma nitrite/nitrate (NOx) levels, sepsis development, hemodynamics and survival. METHODS 90 severely septic and 91 non-infected ICU patients were prospectively studied. NOS3 (E298D), NOS3 (-786 T/C), NOS3 (27 bp-VNTR), and NOS2A (exon 22) SNPs and plasma NOx levels were assessed. RESULTS 21 patients (11.6%) died, 7 with sepsis. TT homozygotes and T allele carriers of NOS3 (E298D) and AG carriers of the NOS2A (exon 22) SNPs were more frequent among septic compared to non-infected ICU patients (p < 0.05). Plasma NOx was higher in septic, especially in septic with hemodynamic failure (HF) or fatal outcome (p < 0.006). Plasma NOx was higher in carriers of the T allele of the NOS3 (E298D) SNP (p = 0.006). Sepsis independently associated with HF, increased NOx, peripheral neutrophils, and fibrinogen levels, decreased prothrombin and the presence of the NOS3 (E298D) and NOS2A (exon 22) SNPs. A low APACHE II score was the only variable associated with sepsis survival. NOx was independently associated with sepsis, HF, decreased neutrophils and higher APACHE. CONCLUSIONS NOS3 (E298D) and NOS2A (exon 22) SNPs, individually and in combination, and plasma NOx, associated with sepsis development. NOx associated with HF and fatal outcome.
