A Clinical Genetics-Driven Dual Diagnosis of Prader-Willi Syndrome Due to Mosaic Maternal UPD(15) and NOTCH3-Related CADASIL.

Maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 15 [UPD(15)mat] and imprinting defects account for about 30% of cases of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Mosaic UPD(15)mat is rare and may escape routine testing. We describe a 45-year-old male patient in whom persistent clinical suspicion of PWS was not genetically confirmed by repeated methylation-based analyses. Clinical manifestations included neonatal hypotonia with low birth weight, early hyperphagia, severe obesity, short stature, growth hormone deficiency, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and MASLD/MASH with compensated cirrhosis. He presen

Bortezomib-based regimens improve the prognosis of newly diagnosed MM patients with chromosomal aberrations except for del(17q13): A retrospective study from a single center.

AbstractChromosomal aberrations are generally considered to have a remarkable impact on the outcome of multiple myeloma. Bortezomib helps to achieve complete responses and leads to longer life expectancy in many multiple myeloma patients. This study was designed to clarify whether bortezomib can improve the poor prognosis resulting from del(17q13), del(13q14), amp(1q21), t(4,14), t(14,16) in patients with multiple myeloma. A total of 255 MM patients treated with bortezomib-based regimens were included in this study. All chromosomal aberrations were detected by interphase fluorescence in situ h

Molecular factors associated with lung cancer in people living with HIV.

Lung cancer is the most common Non-AIDS-Defining Cancer (NADC) and a leading cause of cancer-related death in People Living With HIV (PLWH). Despite antiretroviral therapy, PLWH are at higher risk of developing cancer compared to the general population. This increased susceptibility reflects a combination of immunosuppression, chronic inflammation, smoking, and direct oncogenic effects of HIV proteins. Tat, gp120, and Nef modulate cell cycle control, apoptosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis, and immune evasion. Persistent HIV reservoirs in lung tissue (mainly effector memory

Nuclear Heparanase Regulates Chromatin Remodeling, Gene Expression and PTEN Tumor Suppressor Function.

Heparanase (HPSE) is an endoglycosidase that cleaves heparan sulfate and has been shown in various cancers to promote metastasis, angiogenesis, osteolysis, and chemoresistance. Although heparanase is thought to act predominantly extracellularly or within the cytoplasm, it is also present in the nucleus, where it may function in regulating gene transcription. Using myeloma cell lines, we report here that heparanase enhances chromatin accessibility and confirm a previous report that it also upregulates the acetylation of histones. Employing the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation CoMMpass datab

RNF25 serves as a novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in multiple myeloma: a multi-cohort integrative analysis.

BackgroundUbiquitination-related genes (UbRGs) play critical roles in tumor biology. However, their functions in multiple myeloma (MM) remain insufficiently explored.MethodsTranscriptomic data from public databases were integrated to identify UbRGs in MM through WGCNA, differential expression, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analyses. Functional roles were examined by GO, KEGG, and GSEA, while immune infiltration and drug sensitivity were evaluated using CIBERSORT, ESTIMATE, and OncoPredict. UbRG expression was validated in clinical samples and cell lines by qRT-PCR and western blot, and

Selective JAK2/ABL dual inhibition therapy effectively eliminates TKI-insensitive CML stem/progenitor cells.

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a common disorder in the elderly population. The diagnosis is based upon recognition of a clinical syndrome, consisting of pain and stiffness in the shoulder and pelvic girdle, muscle tenderness of the upper and lower limbs and nonspecific somatic complaints. In addition, in most cases the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration are highly elevated. Although PMR and giant cell arteritis (GCA) are commonly regarded as two clinical variations of the same disease, their clinical picture is quite different. Whilst in PMR the m

Why pharmacogenomic biomarkers for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy fail: a systematic review of genetic associations, replication, and clinical translation.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common, dose-limiting toxicity of cancer treatment, yet reliable biomarkers to predict individual susceptibility remain lacking. Germline genetic variation has been widely investigated as a potential contributor to CIPN risk; however, the consistency and clinical utility of these associations remain unclear. We performed a systematic review of genetic association studies evaluating CIPN across neurotoxic chemotherapies. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched (April 2025) for human studies assessing germline

Ataxia-Telangiectasia and Associated Bronchiectasis: Case Report and Literature Review.

Ataxia-telangiectasia is a rare, autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the ATM gene on chromosome 11, which encodes a serine-threonine kinase essential for the recognition and repair of DNA double-strand breaks. The disease is characterized by progressive neurological impairment, immunological dysfunction, and an increased susceptibility to recurrent infections and malignancies. Pulmonary involvement represents a major source of morbidity and frequently arises from chronic infections, aspiration, and impaired airway clearance, ultimately leading to the development

RSK inhibitor BI-D1870 inhibits acute myeloid leukemia cell proliferation by targeting mitotic exit.

The 90 kDa Ribosomal S6 Kinase (RSK) drives cell proliferation and survival in cancers, although its oncogenic mechanism has not been well characterized. Phosphorylated level of RSK (T573) was increased in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and associated with poor survival. To examine the role of RSK in AML, we analyzed apoptosis and the cell cycle profile following treatment with BI-D1870, a potent inhibitor of RSK. BI-D1870 treatment increased the G2/M population and induced apoptosis in AML cell lines and patient AML cells. Characterization of mitotic phases showed that the metaphase/an

Storage diseases with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy phenotype.

Never judge a book by its cover, nor assume hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) as sarcomeric, as appearances can deceive. HCM phenocopies account for a 5-10% of the cases, mainly represented by storage diseases, flagged by the increasing prevalence of senile cardiac amyloid in developing countries. Multisystemic and heterogeneous presentation of these entities is a challenge for clinicians, and time delay in diagnosis is a major concern. Promising drugs and gene-specific tailored therapies are under development, therefore, more than ever, appropriate understanding of these conditions is mandato

Non-Coding RNAs: The "Dark Side Matter" of the CLL Universe.

For many years in the field of onco-hematology much attention has been given to mutations in protein-coding genes or to genetic alterations, including large chromosomal losses or rearrangements. Despite this, biological and clinical needs in this sector remain unmet. Therefore, it is not surprising that recent studies have shifted from coded to non-coded matter. The discovery of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) has influenced several aspects related to the treatment of cancer. In particular, in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) the knowledge of ncRNAs and their contextualization have led to the ident

Preventive Healthcare and Management for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in Adults: Case Report and Literature Review.

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is diagnosed by the presence of at least 20% lymphoblasts in the bone marrow. ALL may be aggressive and include the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, central nervous system (CNS), and other organs. Without early recognition and timely treatment, ALL will progress quickly and may have poor prognosis in clinical scenarios. ALL is a rare type of leukaemia in adults but is the most common type in children. Precipitating factors such as environmental radiation or chemical exposure, viral infection, and genetic factors can be associated with ALL. We report a rare case o

KIF11 promotes rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis by activating M1 macrophage polarization and promoting inflammatory cytokine secretion.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: KIF11, a mitotic kinesin, has been implicated in oncogenesis, but its specific role and mechanism in RA pathogenesis remain largely unexplored. We aim to explore functional role and molecular mechanism of KIF11 to promote RA progression. METHODS: Bioinformatics analysis was first performed on public RA datasets (GSE55457, GSE55235, GSE2053, GSE12021, and GSE1919) to identify KIF11-associated DEGs and their enriched pathways using GO/KEGG and GSEA analysis. Lentivirus-mediated shRNA was employed to knock down KIF11 expression in MH7A cells and M1-polarized macrophages

Inhibition of Plk1 and Cyclin B1 expression results in panobinostat-induced G₂ delay and mitotic defects.

The development of clinically useful histone deacetylase inhibitors has expanded greatly. In a preclinical study, we showed that panobinostat (LBH589) inhibits cell cycle progression of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines at G₂/M and an associated decrease in expression of particular genes required for passage through G₂ and mitosis. In this study we sought to analyse the mechanistic underpinnings of panobinostat-induced growth arrest. HNSCC cell lines were synchronised and progression through mitosis monitored. We demonstrate that panobinostat causes a marked G₂ del
