A graphical diagnostic method based on multiple case deletions in a regression context is introduced by using the sampling distribution of the difference between two least squares estimators with and without multiple cases. Principal components analysis plays a key role in deriving this diagnostic method. Multiple case deletions of test statistic are also considered when a new observation is fitted to a given regression model. The result is useful for detecting influential observations in econometric data analysis, for example in checking whether the consumption pattern at a later time is the same as the one found before or not, as well as for investigating the influence of cases in the usual regression model. An illustrative example is given.

We study the influence of observations on testing a linear hypothesis using single and multiple case-deletions. The change in the F-test statistic due to case-deletions is shown to be completely determined by two externally Studentized residuals. These residuals we used for investigating the outlyingness when there are linear constraints or not. An illustrative example is given. It shows the usefulness of case-deletions.

On Box-Cox transformation, one or few responses are influential on transformation parameter estimator. To detect influential observatins, several diagnostics (Cook and Wang 1983, Hinkley and Wang 1988, Lawrance 1988, Tsai and Wu 1990) have been suggested. We compare these diagnostics and denote the necessity of multiple cases deletion which is important especially when the masking effect is present. Also, analytic expression of Tsai and Wu's diagnostic is given. We suggest a computationally feasible and useful algorithm based on the basic building blocks, and present descriptive examples using artificial data.

This study develops the pay satisfaction questionnaire for Korean employees. Based upon the review of previous studies, 16 questionnaire items are developed. Exploratory factor analysis results in a modified measurement through item deletion, item-to-dimension reassignment, and dimension combination. The measurement model was good fit assessed by overall fit measures(GFI; goodness of fit index, AGFI; adjusted goodness of fit index, RMR; root mean square residual) criteria, lambda score, and squared multiple correlation with confirmatory factor analysis. Implication of this work for future theoretical and empirical development are suggested.

Bacillus subtilis에 존재하는 DEAD-box RNA helicase에 대한 유전자 상동성 검색을 통해 yqfR, yfmL, ydbR, deaD 의 4종류의 유전자를 확인하였고 이들 유전자 각각의 결손 돌연변이체를 제조하였다. 이들 돌연변이체들의 특성을 알아보기 위하여 LB 배양액을 사용하여 여러 온도에서의 생장 속도를 조사하였다. LB 배양액에서 $37^{\circ}C$의 생장 결과 ydbR 결손 균주가 다소 생장이 느려지나($T_d$=53 min) 다른(yqfR, yfmL, deaD) 결손 돌연변이체들은($T_d$=30-40 min) 결손이 없는 야생형 균주 CU1065와($T_d$=32 min) 유사하였다. 반면에 $22^{\circ}C$에서의 생장은 CU1065 ($T_d$=102 min)에 비해 yqfR ($T_d$=151 min), yfmL ($T_d$=214 min), ydbR ($T_d$=343 min) 결손 균주 순으로 생장속도가 느린 저온 민감성을 보인다. deaD의 $22^{\circ}C$에서의 생장 속도는 ($T_d$=109 min) CU1065와 ($T_d$=102 min) 매우 유사하여 저온 민감성을 보이지 않았다. 그리고 이들 유전자들의 이중, 삼중, 사중의 결손 균주들을 제조하였고, 여러 온도에서 ($42^{\circ}C$, $37^{\circ}C$, $22^{\circ}C$) LB 배양액을 사용하여 생장 속도를 측정 하였다. 다중 결손은 단일 결손보다 더 심한 저온 민감성을 보이며, 이중 결손의 경우, ydbR과 yfmL의 결손이 다른 조합의 결손보다 보다 큰 저온 민감성을 나타내었다 ($T_d$=984 min). 이러한 저온 민감성은 E. coli의 csdA 혹은 srmB 결손의 결과와 유사하며 리보솜 조립과 관련이 있는 생리적 기능으로 보인다.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC, MIM#191100) is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous syndrome caused by mutation or deletion of TSC1 encoding hamartin or TSC2 encoding tuberin and characterized by seizure, mental retardation, and multiple hamartomas or benign tumors in the skin, brain, retina, heart, kidney, and lungs. The TSC2 gene on chromosome 16p13.3 lies adjacent to the PKD1 gene which is responsible for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (MIM#173900). The TSC2/PKD1 contiguous gene syndrome (TSC2/PKD1 CGDS, MIM#600273) is caused by deletion of both TSC2 and PKD1 gene. We recently experienced a 15 month-old boy and a 26 month-old girl with TSC2/PKD1 CGDS confirmed by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis. They showed not only typical neurologic manifestations of TSC such as epilepsy, subependymal nodules, and subcortical tubers, but also polycystic kidney disease. The contiguous gene syndrome involving PKD1 and TSC2 should be suspected in children with enlarged polycystic kidneys and TSC. MLPA analysis is a useful method for the genetic confirmation of TSC2/PKD1 CGDS.

Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by predisposition to early-onset cancers. HNPCC is caused by heterozygous loss-of-function mutations within the mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS1, and PMS2. We genotyped the MLH1 and MSH2 genes in patients suffering from Lynch syndrome and in 11 unrelated patients who were diagnosed with colorectal cancer and had subsequently undergone surgery. Five Lynch syndrome patients carried germline mutations in MLH1 or MSH2. Two of these were identified as known mutations in MLH1: deletion of exon 10 and a point mutation (V384D). The remaining three patients exhibited novel mutations: a duplication (937_942dupGAAGTT) in MLH1; deletion of exons 8, 9, and 10; and a point mutation in MLH1 (F396I) combined with multiple missense mutations in MSH2 (D295G, K808E, Q855P, and I884T). The findings underline the importance of efficient pre-screening of conspicuous cases.

The deletion of sti from the Streptomyces plasmid pIJ101 made its derivative pHZ1358 an efficient vector for gene disruption and replacement. Here, pHZ1358 was further optimized by the construction of a derivative plasmid pJTU1278, in which a cassette carrying multiple cloning sites and a lacZ selection marker were introduced for convenient plasmid construction in E. coli. In addition, the oriT region of pJTU1278 was also deleted, generating a vector (pJTU1289) that can be used specifically for PCR-targeting. The efficient usage of these vectors was demonstrated by the deletion of the gene involved in avermectin biosynthesis in S. avermitilis.

Homer proteins are scaffold proteins that regulate calcium (Ca²⁺) signaling by modulating the activity of multiple Ca²⁺ signaling proteins. In our previous report, Homer2 and Homer3 regulated NFATc1 function through its interaction with calcineurin, which then acted to regulate receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone metabolism. However, to date, the role of Homers in osteoclastogenesis remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the roles of Homer2 and Homer3 in aging-dependent bone remodeling. Deletion of Homer2/Homer3 (Homer2/3 DKO) markedly decreased the bone density of the femur. The decrease in bone density was not seen in mice with Homer2 (Homer2^-/-) and Homer3 (Homer3^-/-) deletion. Moreover, RANKL treatment of bone marrow-derived monocytes/macrophages in Homer2/3 DKO mice significantly increased the formation of multinucleated cells and resorption areas. Finally, Homer2/3 DKO mice decreased bone density in an aging-dependent manner. These findings suggest a novel potent mode of bone homeostasis regulation through osteoclasts differentiation during aging by Homer proteins, specifically Homer2 and Homer3.

Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is caused by a deletion of the short arm on chromosome 4 and is characterized by multiple congenital abnormalities, growth and mental retardation. In this case report, we performed amniocentesis for the chromosome analysis on a 25-year-old pregnant woman at 16 weeks of gestation whom we suspected of Edward's syndrome by the triple test of maternal serum and ultrasonography. The result of analysis revealed a karyotype of the fetus with 46,XY,del(4)(p15) by trypsin Giemsa's banding technique. With the result, we were able to diagnose the fetus as having WHS. As such, after therapeutic termination of the pregnancy, we confirmed WHS through the sampling of tissue by both trypsin Giemsa's banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method. To determine the origin of the WHS, we further tested the karyotypes of the parents. As parental karyotypes were found to be normal, we determined the case of the fetal WHS to be de novo.
