Abstract
This study investigated the utility of adult and infant vocalisation in the prediction of child psychopathology. Families were sampled from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) birth cohort. Vocalisation patterns were obtained from 180 videos (60 cases and 120 randomly selected sex-matched controls) of parent-infant interactions when infants were one year old. Cases were infants who had been subsequently diagnosed aged seven years, with at least one psychiatric diagnostic categorisation using the Development and Wellbeing Assessment. Psychopathologies included in the case group were disruptive behaviour disorders, oppositional-conduct disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, pervasive development disorder, and emotional disorders. Associations between infant and parent vocalisations and later psychiatric diagnoses were investigated. Low frequencies of maternal vocalisation predicted later development of infant psychopathology. A reduction of five vocalisations per minute predicted a 44% (95%CI: 11-94%; p-value=0.006) increase in the odds of an infant being a case. No association was observed between infant vocalisations and overall case status. In sum, altered vocalisation frequency in mother-infant interactions at one year is a potential risk marker for later diagnosis of a range of child psychopathologies.

Abstract
To establish which social interactive behaviours predict later psychiatric diagnosis, we examined 180 videos of a parent-infant interaction when children were aged one year, from within the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) cohort. Sixty of the videos involved infants who were later diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder at seven years, and 120 were a randomly selected sex-matched control group. Interactive behaviours for both the caregiver and the one year old infant were coded from the videos according to eight holistic categories of interpersonal engagement: Well-being, Contingent Responsiveness, Cooperativeness, Involvement, Activity, Playfulness, Fussiness, and Speech. Lower levels of adult activity and speech in interaction at one year significantly predicted overall diagnosis of child psychiatric disorder.

Abstract
One of the challenges of developmental psychopathology is to determine whether identifiable pathways to developmental disorders exist in the first months or years of life. Early identification of such disorders poses a similar challenge for clinical services. Using data from a large contemporary birth cohort, we examined whether psychopathology at age seven can be predicted from clinician observation at one year. Two groups of clinical raters observed videos of caregiver-infant interaction. Neither group of raters could reliably identify any precursors of later development of psychopathology in the one-year-old infants in this setting.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Over-expression of the HER2/neu oncogene is associated with poorer clinical outcome in breast cancer. Notwithstanding the success achieved with Trastuzumab in treating HER2/neu positive patients, numerous questions remain. In particular, there are concerns regarding accurate identification of HER2/neu positivity and the correct management of these patients in terms of the dosage, timing and optimal combination of Trastzumab with chemotherapeutic regimens. One approach to answering these questions has been to focus on the area of chromosome 17 in which HER2/neu is located in order to identify other genes in the vicinity. As potential therapeutic targets, we examined the amplification and expression patterns of co-localised cancer-associated genes at the HER2/neu amplicon on chromosome 17.Aims: The primary objective of this study was to examine amplification and expression patterns of co-localised genes at 17q12-21. In doing so, we aimed to establish their relationship with HER2/neu positivity, and then to quantify their relative importance in developing a gene panel predictive of HER2/neu status.Methods: Breast tissue from a cohort of patients with HER2/neu positive (n=48) and negative (n=48) tumours was retrieved at time of surgery. Protein and gene expression levels were determined using immunohistochemistry and RQ-PCR, respectively. Results were analysed to detect patterns of amplification among the genes, namely HER2/neu, STARD3, GRB7, TOP2A, TUBG1, RPL19, LASP1, RARA, and ER Alpha, and to identify associations between expression levels and clinical data. A binary logistic approach and classification tree analysis was employed to determine whether the expression levels of our target genes were useful predictors of HER2/neu status.Results: Strong correlation was noted between expression levels of HER2/neu and multiple cancer-associated genes at 17q12-21, including the novel genes LASP1 (p=0.000) and RPL19 (p=0.000). A significant relationship was also noted between TOP2A and the previously unexplored TUBG1 (p=0.000). Analysis of gene expression patterns according to clinicopathological variables revealed significant associations across intrinsic breast cancer subtypes.Conclusion: This study reaffirms the correlation between HER2/neu and its co-localised genes at 17q12-21, including novel candidate genes LASP1 and RPL19. We have also identified a novel relationship between TOP2A and TUBG1. Furthermore, our work represents a tentative step in the development of more accurate means of characterising HER2/neu status. As such, this work has again indicated the central role which this amplicon may play in selection of patients for treatment, not alone for Herceptin and anthracyclines, but also for taxane-based therapies, and as such, has revealed novel pathways for us to follow as we move towards our goal of individually tailored therapy.
