Genetic variants of the alphaS1 casein gene in goats determine the different casein and protein content of milk, variant milk processing quality and cheese flavour. The main seven alleles of alphaS1 casein belong to four groups: strong alleles, which code for a high alphaS1 content (3.6 g/L), medium alleles (1.6 g/L), weak alleles (0.6 g/L) and allele 0 (complete lack of alphaS1 casein). An original method was designed, based on PCR with three specific primers and mRNA isolated from milk somatic cells. The length of PCR products varied due to differences between alleles on cDNA level, since allele F has a 111 nt deletion of 9-11 exons, allele D is associated with deletion of 36 nt (exon 9), and allele E includes a 457 nt retropozon insertion in exon 19. Forty-nine goats coming from four different farms were genotyped. Each of the analysed goats is the carrier of at least one `strong' allele, which codes for the beneficial high level of alphaS1 casein.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) is believed to have a T-cell mediated autoimmune etiology. The cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene is a strong candidate for the involvement in autoimmune diseases because CTLA-4 plays an important role in downregulation of early and late stages of T cell activation and maintenance of peripheral T cell tolerance. To examine the genetic association of the CTLA-4 gene locus with MS, we analyzed exon 1 CTLA-4 gen polymorphism A(49)G in 102 unrelated Polish MS patients in Lower Silesia region and 101 age and sex matched healthy subjects. The distribution of CTLA-4 exon 1 A(49)G genotype, phenotype and allele frequencies did not differ between patients with MS and healthy subjects.

Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital, heterogeneous disorder, characterized by the absence of intestinal ganglion cells. Recent advances show that the RET gene is a major locus involved in the pathogenesis of HSCR. The aim of this study was to analyse if the HSCR phenotype in the Polish population is associated with the presence of polymorphisms in exons 2, 3, 7, 11, 13, 14 and 15 of the RET gene. Molecular results were compared with clinical and long-term follow-up data in 70 Polish patients with HSCR (84.3% with a short segment and 15.7% with a long segment of aganglionic gut). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms were analysed by using the minisequencing SNaPshot multiplex method. The 135G>A polymorphism in RET exon 2 was overrepresented in HSCR patients, compared with a healthy control group. Moreover, the 135G>A variant was shown to be associated with the severe HSCR phenotype. Two other polymorphisms, 2071G>A in exon 11 and 2712C>G in exon 15, were underrepresented in the patients. The results confirm that these RET polymorphisms play a role in the aetiology of HSCR.

Graves' disease (GD) is an autoimmune disease believed to be caused by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. The gene encoding cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is one of the candidate genes for conferring susceptibility to thyroid autoimmunity. The aim of the study was to investigate the association between the exon 1 CTLA-4 gene polymorphism A(49)G and susceptibility to GD and Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) as well as its severity in a Polish population of the Lower Silesia region. We analyzed the A(49)G exon 1 CTLA-4 gene polymorphism in 99 unrelated Polish patients with GD, of whom 50 had clinically evident GO (NOSPECS class III and higher), and 154 matched healthy subjects from the Lower Silesia region. Genomic DNA was isolated from whole frozen blood using the NucleoSpinR Blood kit. A/G transition was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction followed by labeling with the SnaPshot kit of PE Applied Biosystems and detected using an ABI PRISM 310 capillary genetic analyzer. The distribution of CTLA-4 exon 1 A(49)G genotype, allele, and phenotypic frequencies did not differ between patients with GD and healthy subjects. There was a significantly lower frequency of the AA genotype in the group of patients with clinically evident GO than in patients without severe GO (22% vs. 43%; p=0.02, OR=2.6). Our results showed that the AA genotype in patients with GD is associated with a lower risk of GO severity.
