In chimaeras of both rdrdCC↔ + + cc and rdrdcc↔ + + CC combinations two types of distribution were observed. In a majority of the chimaeras both retinal layers were chimaeric; whereas in a few cases the pigment epithelium was chimaeric but the visual cell layer was made of + + cells only. No spatial relation was observed in the distribution of the cells in the two layers. The two eyes of the individuals were nearly always identical with regard to occurrence of chimaerism in the two layers. The findings are discussed in the light of the possible site and mode of expression of the rd gene.

Occupational Distribution

This study investigates the occupational status of South African natives and immigrants, considering the intersection between race and nativity. Using census data for 2001, the study finds that whites dominate the top end of the occupational distribution, while the reverse is the case for Africans, irrespective of nativity. Thus, in post-Apartheid South Africa, race explains more of an individuals occupational status than country of origin the legacy of apartheid still lingers on. The study also finds that South African-born Africans are more likely to compete for the same occupations with African immigrants from non-SADC countries than those from SADC countries. To some extent, this violates the claim that African immigrants from SADC countries steal natives jobs.

Glucose Levels

As both diabetes and pre-diabetes are common in Africa, screening tests must be rapid, simple, and accurate. Hemoglobin A1C (A1C), fructosamine, and glycated albumin (GA) are screening tests of long term glycemia which only require one blood sample obtained any time of day without consideration of recent nutrient intake. A1C is already recommended as a screening test for diabetes by the American Diabetes Association and the International Diabetes Federation, but fructosamine and GA are under active evaluation. Fructosamine is a measure of circulating glycated protein. GA is a subfraction of fructosamine. Data on the effectiveness of fructosamine and GA in African descent populations are scant. Therefore, our goal was to compare the ability of A1C, fructosamine, and GA to predict diabetes. Two hour OGTT were performed in 230 African immigrants (67% male; age 37±10y (mean±SD); BMI: 27.6±4.6 kg/m2). Glucose tolerance category was defined by 2h glucose levels (normal: 2h glucose<140 mg/dL; pre-diabetes: 2h glucose ≥140 mg/dL and <200 mg/dL; diabetes: 2h glucose ≥200 mg/dL). A1C was measured in all participants while fructosamine and GA levels were available in 153 of the enrollees. Pre-diabetes was identified in 26% (61/230) of the participants and diabetes was detected in 7% (15/230). By one-way ANOVA, A1C, fructosamine and GA were higher if diabetes was present (all P<0.01) but did not differ significantly in the normal and pre-diabetes categories. For the prediction of diabetes, area under the receiver operator characteristic (AUC-ROC) curves was higher for GA than either fructosamine or A1C (Table). Overall, in African immigrants, each of the three tests was able to identify diabetes, but none were able to distinguish between normal glucose tolerance and pre-diabetes. Among the three tests, GA may be the best predictor of diabetes.
