Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a well-known hereditary condition characterised by alimentary system tumours. Tens to thousands of polyps occur in the colon and rectum of the patients. There is a high heterogeneity with regard to the number and time of the occurrence of polyps. The occurrence of FAP is associated with mutations in the APC tumour suppressor gene, which was described in 1991. Since then, many studies have been done to analyse the distribution of mutations in individual populations and to determine the function of the gene and a diagnostic approach to FAP. Here the APC gene was studied with respect to the occurrence of small mutations and large rearrangements in 300 unrelated Polish FAP families. Ninety-seven mutations were identified in 164 families. Out of these mutations, 80 were small mutations, including 58 small mutations that were first identified in the Polish population (42 novel and 16 described previously). An increased frequency of mutation c.3927_3931delAAAGA was observed in 10% of the Polish group. Seventeen large rearrangements were found in 29 families. Out of those rearrangements, 8 repeat rearrangements occurred in 20 families. A problem in fast molecular diagnostics of FAP is a high heterogeneity of mutations in the APC gene. It seems that a multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification test and searching for small mutations by the use of screening methods at the 5' end of exon 15 and exons 14, 9, 11, 13, 5, and 3, help to improve the molecular diagnostics of FAP in Polish patients.

The RYR1 gene encoding the Ca2+ channel of sarcoplasmic reticulum of human skeletal muscle has been cloned and its nucleotide sequence has been determined earlier. We have used the polymerase chain reaction single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP), and sequencing analysis for human, porcine (Sus scrofa), and zebrine (Equus grevyi) ryanodine receptor (ryr1) gene. The fragment of exon 17 of the ryr1 gene was characterized by a high homology between all the analysed species (substitution of a nucleotide is underlined): porcine ryr1 1834GTG GCC GTG CGC TCC AAC CAA GAT CT1859 human RYR1 1831GTG GCC GTG CGC TCC AAC CAA GAT CT1856 zebrine ryr1 GTG GCC GTG CGC TCC AAC CAA GAC CT.

Screening for molecular changes within the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, exons 11 14 and the 5' half of exon 15, encompassing the mutation cluster region within exon 15, was performed in 30 patients with Familial Polyposis Coli (FAP). All patients were studied by heteroduplex analysis (HA) and single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and molecular changes were found in 7 cases. Protein truncation test (PTT) has been performed in 17 cases in which mutations have not been found earlier, and shortening of protein product was noted in 2 cases. In three cases common deletion of 5 bp at codon 1309 and in one 5 bp deletion at codon 1061 were found. In other cases the molecular changes were demonstrated as heteroduplexes in exon 14 (1 patient), in segments E and F (one patient each) of exon 15, and in two cases the heteroduplexes were within the overlapping sequences of segments E/F and F/G of exon 15, respectively. In families where the molecular changes were found by HA, 7 persons at high risk for FAP were found and advised to undergo regular endoscopic examinations. In three persons at risk the transfer of mutation was excluded.

The genetic construct WAP 6xHisHGH containing the gene encoding human growth hormone (hGH) and WAP promoter expressed in mammary gland of animals was prepared. The 5? end of the gene was modified by the addition of sequence encoding six histidine residues and the sequence recognized by thrombin. In this way, the growth hormone can be easily purified by affinity chromatography and cleaved with thrombin to an active form. In the next step, the genetic construct was introduced by microinjection into male pronuclei of fertilized oocytes. Transgene was detected in male rabbit of F0 generation (number 61). Twelve offspring of founder rabbit of generation F1 indicated transgene sequences. The presence of growth hormone was revealed in the samples of milk accumulated during the lactation of females of F1 generation. The genetic constructs containing chain 1 and chain 2 of Feld1, and the major allergen produced by cat (Fedlis domesticus) were prepared. Both genes were inactivated by introduction into the sequences a positive selectable marker aminoglycoside phosphotransferase (resistant to neomycin). Outside the region of homology to Feld1 chain 1 and chain 2 genes, the negative selectable marker ? thymidine kinase gene was introduced. The genetic constructs pNTKFd1 and pNTKFd2 can be used in further experiments involving the inactivation of Feld1 genes in cat cells. Both genes were modified by site-directed mutagenesis using megastarter with Stop codon for premature termination of translation. The presence of mutation was confirmed by sequencing. The genetic constructs with human hGH gene and cat Feld1 gene were introduced into the bovine and cat fetal fibroblasts respectively in co-transfection with plasmid pGT-N29 containing positive selectable marker by lipofection, precipitation and electroinjection methods. After the selection, surviving cells were subjected to further molecular analysis. The stabile incorporation of the genetic constructs WAP 6xHisHGH and WAPHGH into the genome were observed.

The gene construct WAP(6xHisThr):hGH containing the entire human growth hormone gene (hGH) under the rat whey acidic protein (WAP) promoter regulating the expression in mammary glands of mammals was prepared. The 5? end of the gene was modified by the addition of a sequence encoding six histidine residues and a sequence recognized by thrombin. The gene construct was introduced by microinjection into the male pronucleus of a fertilized oocyte. The founder male rabbit was obtained with the transgene mapping to chromosome 7. The presence of the growth hormone was confirmed in samples of milk collected during the lactation of F1 generation females. The growth hormone can be easily purified by affinity chromatography and cleavage by thrombin to an active form.
