Article Synopsis
- The glenoid labrum is a crucial structure in the shoulder joint, and SLAP lesions, which affect its superior part, are common among athletes and laborers.
- The diagnostic reliability of arthroscopy for SLAP tears has been found to be inconsistent, and magnetic resonance arthrography (MRa) is being explored as a less invasive alternative, albeit with uncertain reliability.
- A study involving orthopedic surgeons and radiologists to classify SLAP lesions via MRa showed poor overall inter-rater reliability and mixed results, with radiologists demonstrating better agreement than orthopedic surgeons.
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) mutates immunoglobulin genes and acts genome-wide. AID targets robustly transcribed genes, and purified AID acts on single-stranded (ss) but not double-stranded (ds) DNA oligonucleotides. Thus, it is believed that transcription is the generator of ssDNA for AID.
