Case report: A familial B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia associated with a new germline pathogenic variant in . The first report in Mexico.

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is one of the most common childhood cancers worldwide. Although most cases are sporadic, some familial forms, inherited as autosomal dominant traits with incomplete penetrance, have been described over the last few years. Germline pathogenic variants in transcription factors such as , and have been identified as causal in familial forms.

Mutational Landscape of in Mexican Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients: Prognostic Implications.

Background: In Mexico, the incidence of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has increased in the last few years. Mortality is higher than in developed countries, even though the same chemotherapy protocols are used. CCAAT Enhancer Binding Protein Alpha () mutations are recurrent in AML, influence prognosis, and help to define treatment strategies.

Profiling Mutations in Mexican Acute Myeloid Leukemia Pediatric Patients: Impact on Overall Survival.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the second most frequent leukemia in childhood. The gene participates in hematopoietic stem cell proliferation. mutations are recurrent in AML and influence prognosis.

The T29C (rs1800470) polymorphism of the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) gene is associated with restenosis after coronary stenting in Mexican patients.

The aim of the present study was to establish the role of IL-6 and TGF-β1 gene polymorphisms in the risk of developing in-stent restenosis. Two IL-6 [rs1800796 (-572 G>C), rs2069827 (-1426 T>G)] and two TGF-β1 [rs1800469 (-509 T>C), rs1800470 (T29C)] gene polymorphisms were analyzed by 5' exonuclease TaqMan genotyping assays in a group of 244 patients, who underwent coronary artery stenting. Basal and procedure coronary angiography were analyzed, looking for angiographic predictors of restenosis and follow-up angiography was performed to screen for binary restenosis.

Genetic variations in toll-like receptor 4 in Mexican-Mestizo patients with intra-abdominal infection and/or pneumonia.

Sepsis is a leading cause of death around the world, and 73-83% of all sepsis cases requiring attention in intensive care units are linked to intra-abdominal infection (IAI) or pneumonia. The activation of innate immunity is central to the manifestation of sepsis, and toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 plays an important role in this activation process. The 299G and 399I alleles of TLR4 have been linked with an increased risk of Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) infections and septic shock in some populations.
