Background. We investigated the epidemiology of congenital malformations and childhood cancer. Procedure. By employing the cases of the Registry of Childhood Malignancies in Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan, from 1969 to 1996, the numbers of malignancies in cases (diagnosis at 0-14 years of age) with Down

## Abstract The fifth base in human DNA, 5βmethylcytosine, is inherently mutagenic. This has led to marked changes in the distribution of the CpG methyl acceptor site and an 80% depletion in its frequency of occurrence in vertebrate DNA. The coding regions of many genes contain CpGs which are methy
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor Hey2 (gridlock) is an important determinant of mammalian heart development, but its role in human ventricular septal defects is unknown. Hey2 functions as a repressor through the bHLH domain. By direct sequencing, we analyzed the sequences encod
The risk of cancer can be increased by both genetic predisposition and environmental exposure. A common mechanism, mutation, may be involved in both. The rate of mutation in germ cells is the principal determinant of the incidence of genetically predisposed individuals, whereas the rate in somatic
