Resumen
The amelogenin represents the gender marker most widely used for human identification and biomedical purposes. However, some failures in sex-typing have been observed globally. In this study, we could approximate the population frequency of AMELY negative males in 1230 individuals from five states of Mexico (0.081%). For the sole AMELY negative male detected, we constructed a deletion map by means of 10 markers (7 STS and 3 Y-STRs). This allowed classifying the case into the most common category (Class I deletion), according to the nomenclature proposed by Jobling et al. (2007). Interestingly, the Mexican sample was R1a1 *, a Y-chromosome haplogroup non-previously reported for AMELY negative cases. The geographic distribution of R1a1 *, and the Y-STR haplotype similarity with a reported case from Slovenia, suggests an Eastern-Europe paternal origin for this case from Mexico. To our knowledge, this is the first report in Latin America that implies a low population frequency and European paternal origin of AMELY negative cases.

Ramos-Remus, C.",,"2007",,"Deflazacort (DFZ) is a synthetic glucocorticoid that has few adverse effects on glucose and calcium metabolism and fewer deleterious effects on the neuronal population. Therefore, it may have a crucial role in the treatment of patients with autoimmune disorders associated with central nervous system or metabolic affectations. To date, the pharmacologic safety profile of DFZ is considered similar to that of other glucocorticoids. Nevertheless, cumulative clinical and laboratory evidence suggests that DFZ has, in fact, greater immunosuppressive activity than was previously thought. Therefore, it is possible that DFZ increases the risk of acquiring opportunistic infection compared with other synthetic glucocorticoids. Additional pharmacologic studies are needed to fully establish the immunosuppressive potency of DFZ and, consequently, to determine the appropriate ratio of bioequivalence in humans.
