The latest member of the Roche cobas modular platform family, the cobas 8000 modular analyzer series allows compact and convenient consolidation of clinical chemistry and immunochemistry assays in high-workload laboratories with a throughput of 3 to 15 million tests annually. Here we present the results of studies designed to test the overall system performance under routine-like conditions that were conducted at 14 laboratories over 2 y. Experiments that test analytical performance of the new module were integrated with overall system functionality testing of all modules in different configurations. More than two million results were generated and evaluated for similar to 100 applications using serum/plasma, urine, or EDTA blood samples. During the workflow studies, eight configurations of the possible 38 combinations were used, covering all available analytical modules. The versatility of the module combinations makes the system customizable to fit the needs of diverse laboratories, allowing precise and accurate analysis of a broad spectrum of clinical chemistry and immunochemistry parameters with short turnaround times. This new system will contribute to the ability of clinical laboratories to offer better service to their customers and support vital clinical decision making."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Roche"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1177/2211068212472183"],["dc.identifier.isi","000326448100007"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23321915"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13031"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/29156"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.issn","1540-2452"],["dc.relation.issn","2211-0682"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","cobas 8000 Modular Analyzer Series Evaluated under Routine-like Conditions at 14 Sites in Australia, Europe, and the United States"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2009Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","34"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","1"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","41"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","27"],["dc.contributor.author","Guerchet, Maelenn"],["dc.contributor.author","Houinato, Dismand"],["dc.contributor.author","Paraiso, Moussiliou Noel"],["dc.contributor.author","von Ahsen, Nicolas"],["dc.contributor.author","Nubukpo, Philippe"],["dc.contributor.author","Otto, Markus"],["dc.contributor.author","Clement, Jean-Pierre"],["dc.contributor.author","Preux, Pierre-Marie"],["dc.contributor.author","Dartigues, Jean-Francos"],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-11-07T08:34:21Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-11-07T08:34:21Z"],["dc.date.issued","2009"],["dc.description.abstract","Background/Aims: Dementia is increasing as a priority public health problem because of the ageing of the world population.

Methods: Retrospective analyses of 32 neuropathologically confirmed cases differentially diagnosed as AD out of a group with rapidly progressive dementia. CSF biomarkers (14-3-3, tau, beta-amyloid 1-42) and genetic markers (PRNP codon 129, apolipoprotein E, ApoE, polymorphism) were determined. Results: Median survival was 26 months, age at onset 73 years. Biomarkers: mean beta-amyloid 1-42: 266 pg/ml, median tau: 491 pg/ml, 14-3-3 positive: 31%. Genetic polymorphisms showed a predominance of methionine homozygosity at PRNP codon 129 and a low frequency of ApoE4 (38%, no homozygous patients). Thirty-five symptoms were studied. Frequent symptoms were myoclonus (75%), disturbed gait (66%) and rigidity (50%). Discussion: rpAD is associated with a diversity of neurological signs even able to mimic Creutz feldt-Jakob disease. Biomarkers and genetic profile differ from those seen in classical AD. The findings on biomarkers, symptomatology and genetics may aid the differential diagnostic process. Copyright (C) 2010 S.

Predictors of therapeutic response may result in individualized risk stratification and MX dosing. ATP-binding cassette-transporters ABCB1 and ABCG2 represent multi-drug resistance mechanisms involved in active cellular MX efflux. Here, we investigated the role of ABC-gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for clinical MX response, corroborated by experimental in vitro and in vivo data. Frequencies of ABCB1 2677GT, 3435CT and five ABCG2-SNPs were analysed in 832 multiple sclerosis patients (Germany, Spain) and 264 healthy donors. Using a flow-cytometry-based in vitro assay, MX efflux in leukocytes from individuals with variant alleles in both ABC-genes (designated genotype ABCB1/ABCG2-L(ow), 22.2 of patients) was 37.7 lower than from individuals homozygous for common alleles (ABCB1/ABCG2-H(igh), P 0.05, 14.8 of patients), resulting in genotype-dependent MX accumulation and cell death. Addition of glucocorticosteroids (GCs) inhibited MX efflux in vitro. ABC-transporters were highly expressed in leukocyte subsets, glial and neuronal cells as well as myocardium, i.e. cells/tissues potentially affected by MX therapy. In vivo significance was further corroborated in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in Abcg2(/) animals. Using a MX dose titrated to be ineffective in wild-type animals, disease course and histopathology in Abcg2(/) mice were strongly ameliorated. Retrospective clinical analysis in MX monotherapy patients (n 155) used expanded disability status scale, relapse rate and multiple sclerosis functional composite as major outcome parameters. The clinical response rate [overall 121 of 155 patients (78.1)] increased significantly with genotypes associated with decreasing ABCB1/ABCG2-function [ABCB1/ABCG2-H 15/24 (62.5) responders, ABCB1/ABCG2-I(ntermediate) 78/98 (79.6), ABCB1/ABCG2-L 28/33 (84.8), exact Cochran-Armitage test P 0.039]. The odds ratio for response was 1.9 (95 CI 1.03.5) with each increase in ABCB1/ABCG2 score (from ABCB1/ABCG2-H to I-, and I to L). In 36 patients with severe cardiac or haematological side effects no statistically relevant difference in genotype frequency was observed. However, one patient with biopsy proven cardiomyopathy only after 24 mg/m(2) MX exhibited a rare genotype with variant, partly homozygous alleles in 3 ABC-transporter genes. In conclusion, SNPs in ABC-transporter genes may serve as pharmacogenetic markers associated with clinical response to MX therapy in multiple sclerosis.

Genetic and functional properties of these alleles remain unknown. METHODS: We performed analyses of the genetic variability of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genes using AmpliChip genotyping in cohorts from two distinct Papua New Guinea (PNG) populations (Kunjingini, n=88; Alexishafen, n=84) focussing on the genetic characterisation of PNG-specific alleles by re-sequencing. RESULTS: Previously unknown CYP2D6 alleles have population frequencies of 24% (Kunjingini) and 12% (Alexishafen). An allele similar to CYP2D6 1, but carrying the 1661G>C substitution, was the second most frequent CYP2D6 allele (20% Kunjingini and 10% Alexishafen population frequency). Sequencing suggests the CYP2D6 1661G>C allele originated from a cross-over between CYP2D6 1 and 2 and thus is predicted to confer fully active CYP2D6 enzyme. Two additional predicted full activity alleles [1661G>C;4180G>C] and 31G>A were found in the Kunjingini cohort (frequencies 3 c/c and 1%, respectively) and a novel predicted reduced activity allele [100C>T;1039C>T] was found in the Alexishafen cohort (frequency 2%). A high frequency of ultra-rapid (15%) and notably low frequencies of intermediate and poor CYP2D6 metabolizers (<5%) and a high frequency of poor CYP2C19 metabolizers were observed in PNG. Both CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 showed heterozygote excess that may be explained by exogamy and recent introduction of alleles by migration that are yet to reach HWE in relatively isolated populations.

METHODS: Tregs percentages obtained by both flow cytometry and qPCR methods in 35 adult IBD patients, 18 out of them with Crohn's disease (CD) and 17 with ulcerative colitis (UC) were compared to each other as well as to scores on two IBD activity questionnaires using the Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI) for CD patients and the Simple Colitis Clinical Activity Index (SCCAI) for UC patients. The Treg percentages by flow cytometry were defined as CD4(+)CD25(high)CD127(low)FOXP3(+) cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, whereas the Treg percentages by qPCR method were determined as FOXP3 promoter demethylation in genomic DNA. RESULTS: We found an average of 1.56% +/- 0.78% Tregs by using flow cytometry, compared to 1.07% +/- 0.53% Tregs by using qPCR in adult IBD patients. There were no significant correlations between either the percentages of Tregs measured by flow cytometry or qPCR and the HBI or SCCAI questionnaire scores in CD or UC patients, respectively. In addition, there was no correlation between Treg percentages measured by qPCR and those measured by flow cytometry (r = -0.06, P = 0.73; Spearman Rho). These data suggest that, either Treg-related immune function or the clinical scores in these IBD patients did not accurately reflect actual disease activity. Until the cause(s) for these differences are more clearly defined, the results suggest caution in interpreting studies of Tregs in various inflammatory disorders.

SNPs in the other genes of the vitamin K cycle, concomitant medication, nicotine use and alcohol consumption did not predict phenprocoumon concentrations and phenprocoumon dose requirements in a multiple linear regression model. Phenprocoumon concentrations were predicted by VKORC1 c.-1639, CYP2C9 genotype, age and BMI. The final prediction model for the daily phenprocoumon dose requirements comprised VKORC1 c.-1639 genotype, age and height accounting for 48.6% of the inter-individual variability. A rough prediction of phenprocoumon maintenance doses can be achieved by a limited set of parameters (VKORC1, age, height). The investigated SNPs in CYP4F2, CALU, EPHX1, GGCX, F7, and PROC did not improve the predictive value of a pharmacogenetic-based dosing equation for phenprocoumon."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00228-010-0950-y"],["dc.identifier.isi","000288399800006"],["dc.identifier.pmid","21110013"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7301"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/23483"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","0031-6970"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Prediction of phenprocoumon maintenance dose and phenprocoumon plasma concentration by genetic and non-genetic parameters"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2012Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","84"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","2-3"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","89"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","33"],["dc.contributor.author","Schmidt, Christian D."],["dc.contributor.author","Wolff, Martin"],["dc.contributor.author","von Ahsen, Nicolas"],["dc.contributor.author","Zerr, Inga"],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-11-07T09:15:14Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-11-07T09:15:14Z"],["dc.date.issued","2012"],["dc.description.abstract","Background/Aim: To investigate the influence of established genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease on the speed of disease progression. Methods: Polymorphisms (in ACE, ApoE, BIN1, CLU, CR1, CST3, EXOC3L2, GWA14q32.13, IL8, LDLR, PICALM, TNK1) of 40 Alzheimer's disease patients from a longitudinal study were analyzed. A standardized loss of Mini-Mental State Examination points was used as the progression parameter. Results: Polymorphisms in CST3 and EXOC3L2 as well as the absence of APOE4 were associated with more aggressive disease courses. A trend was observed for BIN1. Conclusion: In addition to being a risk factor for disease development, some of the polymorphisms investigated here are associated with higher rates of decline and disease progression and thus might act as prognostic disease markers. This effect needs to be considered in future treatment strategies. Copyright (C) 2012 S.
