    The influence of social processes on the timing of cancer diagnosis: a research agenda

    No full text
    This paper sets out to review the influence of social processes on the timing of the diagnosis of cancer and to explore the potential for promoting earlier diagnosis by addressing social factors that influence symptom recognition and the diagnostic process. Social processes refer to the means by which culture and social organisation may impact on timely cancer diagnosis. The paper calls for concerted action around an important and developing research agenda that may prove highly valuable in the quest to secure prompt diagnosis for cancer and through it improved outcomes for individuals. <br/

    Chantier qualité GAInternational audienceDifferential expression of the ASIP gene and its interaction with MC1R have provided basic insight into pigment-type switching in mammals. Here, we report the characterization of a specific red-haired skin transcript and a specific black-haired skin transcript in the ASIP gene in the black-and-tan Doberman Pinscher. It is also shown that the brindle-haired skin of the Boxer exhibits a deregulated expression resulting in various 5'-untranslated exons. Comparative sequence analysis revealed a short interspersed element and a poly(A) stretch inserted within the promoter region of the ASIP in the Boxer. Genotyping studies have shown that both insertions are also present in brindle and fawn animals of the Boxer and Great Dane breeds. Furthermore, we genotyped MC1R and K loci for their known variants that affect coat color in dogs. As expected, all animals were homozygotes (E(M) /E(M) ) for the mask mutation, and fawn animals were k(y) /k(y) . Unexpectedly, we found that all brindle animals were heterozygotes k(B) /k(y) . Our results suggest that differential expression of ASIP determine pigment-type switching in a MC1R and K allele-dependent manner in dogs

    Mc1r, Agouti signaling protein (ASIP) and CBD103 are involved in brindle coat colour of Boxer and Great Dane dogs

    In most mammals, variations in skin and hair colour (brown/black eumelanin and the red/yellow phaeomelanin) are mainly achieved by the interaction between two genes: Agouti signaling protein (ASIP) and melanocortin 1 receptor (Mc1r) encoding a ligand-receptor system that controls the eumelanin/pheomelanin switching. In domestic dogs, pigment type-switching is also controlled by an unexpected allele (CBD103) of K locus encoding a secreted protein (β-defensin) previously studied for its role in immunity. Interaction studies reveal that Mc1r is epistatic to variation at Agouti and K loci. In this work, we examined Mc1r, ASIP and CBD103 as candidate genes for brindle or fawn Boxer and Great Dane animals. The brindle phenotype in domestic dogs consists of an irregular pattern of red-yellow stripes alternating with black-brown. We found that all brindle dogs are heterozygous for ΔG23 mutation previously reported by Barsh’s team. In addition, we report for the fi rst time two interesting insertions in Agouti promoter region. The innovation of this work is the discovery of new alternative transcripts of Agouti that could be involved in brindle coat colour pattern in dogs. The interaction between CBD103 mutation and Agouti insertions promoting the different transcripts is discussed. This can be a starting point in better understanding their involvement in pigment switching leading to the brindle pattern formation
