MD Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Triological Society, Palm Desert, CA, May 14, 2001. Editor's Note: This Manuscript was accepted for publication October 2, 2001. Article Outline Figures/Tables Objective : Laboratory testing and radiologic imaging are commonly used to delineate syndromic from nonsyndromic sensorineural HL (SNHL). The aim of this study was to examine the yield of laboratory tests and radiologic imaging commonly used in the diagnostic evaluation of SNHL in children. Study Design : Retrospective analysis of 114 (54 female, 60 male) consecutively investigated children with SNHL between 1998 and 2000 at a tertiary-care university hospital. Methods : Results of routine laboratory testing to assess autoimmunity, blood dyscrasias, endocrine abnormalities, renal function, infection, and cardiac testing were reviewed. Results of radiologic evaluation were also reviewed. In general, computed tomography (CT) was obtained in patients with symmetric SNHL, whereas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with or without CT was obtained in asymmetric SNHL.

Extractions: NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Researchers in the US and Britain have pinpointed a gene they say causes Alstrom syndrome, a rare, inherited disorder that causes obesity, hearing and vision disorders in infants and eventually, premature death. "If we want to figure out ways to treat disease, we need to know the pathology and nature of the gene, that's the first step," study co-author Dr. Jurgen K. Naggert, a staff scientist at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, told Reuters Health. "One day, we hope to contribute to the understanding of this disease and figure a way out of it."

To gain insight into the role of ALMS1, we have investigated its subcellular localization and tissue distribution by immunofluorescence. We show that ALMS1 is widely expressed and localizes to centrosomes and the base of cilia. Coupled with recent data on the function of genes associated with BBS, the subcellular localization of ALMS1 implicates centrosome and basal body dysfunction as a critical mechanism in the pathogenesis of obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Cell culture. Cells were grown in chambered slides in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and antibiotics at 37C and 5% CO2 (reagents from PAA Laboratories, Yeovil, U.K.). For microtubule depolymerization experiments, cells were treated with either 10 g/ml nocodazole (Sigma-Aldrich) or vehicle alone for 1 h at 37C and immediately processed for immunocytochemistry, as described below. With local ethical committee permission and informed consent, dermal fibroblaste were obtained from skin biopsies from a normal fetus or an individual with Alstrm syndrome with known genotype: individual F1Ch, as described by Hearn et al. (8).
