HLA-DQA1 and polymarker allele frequencies in two New York City Jewish populations.

Allele and genotype frequencies were determined for the HLA-DQA1 and Amplitype Polymarker loci (low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), glycophorin A (GYPA), hemoglobin G gammaglobin (HBGG), D7S8, and group-specific component (Gc)) in Hasidic and non-Hasidic Ashkenazi New York City Jewish subpopulations. For all loci tested, except HBGG, the 2 subpopulations meet the assumption of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Comparison of various allele and genotype frequencies for the Hasidic and the non-Hasidic groups showed no significant differences. Comparison of the various allele frequencies in the two subpopulations to another Caucasian group revealed significant differences at the HLA-DQA1 and D7S8 loci in the Hasidic group. These frequency data can be used for comparison to other populations and for frequency estimates in DNA profiling.

The synergism of health promotion and restoration in the prevention of substance abuse in the workplace.

Representatives from both health promotion and restoration fields can concert energies in preventing and reducing excessive and inappropriate substance use by employees. This liaison requires that workplace health promoters such as employee fitness/wellness directors, and workplace health restorers such as employee assistance providers, become more familiar with one another's work and better understand the nature of excessive or inappropriate drug consumption. Existing at the interface of these employee health services are opportunities for preventing workplace substance abuse through both enhancing workers' healthy lifestyles and establishing referral pathways to care.
