Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze high-risk histopathological features in eyes with retinoblastoma (RB) after enucleation and compare patient outcomes globally.
- A total of 1,426 RB cases were reviewed, revealing significant differences in histopathological features across continents, with Asia showing the highest rates of massive choroidal invasion and optic nerve invasion.
- The findings indicated that patients from South America and Asia faced greater risks of tumor recurrence, systemic metastasis, and mortality compared to those from Australia, Europe, and North America.
Low complexity regions (LCRs) are sequences of nucleic acids or proteins defined by a compositional bias. Their occurrence has been confirmed in sequences of the three cellular lineages (Bacteria, Archaea and Eucarya), and has also been reported in viral genomes. We present here the results of a detailed computer analysis of the LCRs present in the HIV-1 glycoprotein 120 (gp120) encoded by the viral gene env.
