Evidence for biological inheritance of the eosinophil response to internal parasites in southeastern Brazil

Abstract: One hundred and seventy-seven individuals belonging to 120 complete or incomplete nuclear families from Bambui, in the State of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, were studied in order to examine causes of variation in the eosinophil rate among subjects infested by intestinal worms with an extra-digestive cycle. Segregation analysis without correction for skewness showed that the hypothesis of the presence of an additive major gene was consistent with the data, although a dominant, recessive, or a multifactori… Show more

“…Shorter variants lack the UCR1 domain [3]. The divergent N-termini contain signals for compartmentalization and protein/protein interactions, thereby allowing the ¢ne-tuning of cAMP signaling to discrete subcellular locations and speci¢c pathways [2,3]. This is exempli¢ed by the identi¢cation of the PDE4/ anchoring protein/PKA signaling complexes [7,8].…”
