OCCURRENCE OF MACROSCOPIC FUNGI IN DIFFERENT FOREST TYPES IN THE FORESTRY RESEARCH CENTRE (FEPAGRO), SANTA MARIA, RS, BRAZIL

The macroscopic fungi performance a important role in the maintenance of forest environments, and studies related with the identification of species are fundamental to the research progress. This study aimed to realize a survey the species diversity of wood decomposing fungi in populations of Pinus elliottii Engelm, Eucalyptus globulus Labill, Acacia mearnsii de Wild and natural forest, in State Foundation for Agricultural Research - FEPAGRO, Forestry Research Center, located in Santa Maria, RS. Were collected 53 samples of macroscopic fungi in four areas, being 16 samples in forest of P. Elliottii; 12 samples in forest of E. globulus, 12 samples in forest of A. mearnsii and 13 samples in of native forest. In the laboratory, five genera were identified to the species level: Fuligo septica (L.) F.H. Wigg, Gloeoporus dichrous (Fr.) Bress., Lycogala epidendrum (L.) Fr. e Trametes villosa (Sw.) Kreisel

Two distinct WT1 mutations identified in patients and relatives with isolated nephrotic proteinuria

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Wilms' tumor type 1 gene (WT1) encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor that plays a key role during genitourinary development and in adult kidney. Mutations in exons 8 and 9 are associated with Denys-Drash Syndrome, whereas those occurring in the intron 9 donor splice site are associated with Frasier Syndrome. Familial cases of WT1 mutations are rare with only few cases described in the literature, whereas cases of WT1 mutations associated with isolated nephrotic proteinuria with or without focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) are even rarer. Exons 8 and 9 of WT1 gene were analyzed in two non-related female patients and their parents. Patient 1, who presented with isolated nephrotic proteinuria and histologic pattern of FSGS, is heterozygous for the mutation c.1227 + 4C > T. This mutation was inherited from her mother, who had undergone kidney transplant due to FSGS. Patient 2 is heterozygous for the novel c.1178C > T transition inherited from her father. The putative effect of this nucleotide substitution on WT1 protein is p.Ser393Phe mutation located within the third zinc-finger domain. The patient and her father presented, respectively, isolated nephrotic proteinuria and chronic renal failure. These data highlight the importance of the inclusion of WT1 gene mutational analysis in patients with isolated nephrotic proteinuria, especially when similar conditions are referred to the family.
