Abstract

Allele distributions for 12 or 13 CODIS core tetrameric short tandem repeat (STR) loci CSFIPO, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D21S11, FGA, TH01, TPOX, and vWA were determined in 41 population data sets. The major population groups comprise African Americans, U.S. Caucasians, Hispanics, Far East Asians, and Native Americans. There was little evidence for departures from Hardy-Weinberg expectations (HWE) in any of the populations. The FST estimates over all thirteen STR loci are 0.0006 for African Americans, -0.0005 for Caucasians, 0.0021 for Hispanics, 0.0039 for Asians, and 0.0282 for Native Americans.

Racial/ethnic disparities in neonatal mortality--United States, 1989-2001.

Neonatal mortality (i.e., death at age <28 days) accounts for approximately two thirds of infant deaths in the United States. During 1989-2001, neonatal mortality rates (NMRs) declined; however, 2002 preliminary data indicated an increase. To characterize trends in neonatal mortality by gestational age and race/ethnicity, CDC analyzed linked birth/infant death data sets for 1989--1991 and 1995-2001 (2002 linked data were not available). This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicated that 1) extremely preterm infants (i.e., born at <28 weeks' gestation) accounted for 49%-58% of neonatal deaths during 1989-2001 and 2) racial/ethnic disparities persisted despite NMR declines among infants of all gestational ages. Public health practitioners, researchers, and clinicians can use these results to determine the efficacy of prevention programs at a national level and consider new studies and programs aimed at reducing preterm births and NMR disparities among racial/ethnic populations.

Lack of the T54A polymorphism of the DAZL gene in infertile Italian patients.

The Thr54Ala polymorphism of the deleted-in-azoospermia-like (DAZL) protein has been associated with susceptibility to spermatogenic failure in the Taiwanese population. We used single-strand conformation polymorphism and restriction fragment analyses to investigate the presence of the A-->G transition in exon 3 of the DAZL gene in 95 infertile Italian patients. The patients had oligozoospermia or non-obstructive azoospermia with different degrees of testicular cytological picture. The allele carrying T54A polymorphism was not present in this group of patients nor in 63 controls, indicating that the frequency of this putative mutation is <1% in Italy. Since the Italian population usually shows allelic frequencies similar to the other Caucasian populations, we suggest that the T54A allele might play a role in infertility only in Taiwanese or Asiatic individuals.
