Recently, the PARP4 gene has been identified as a possible susceptibility gene of primary thyroid and breast cancers. We analyzed PARP4 in 53 patients with multiple primary cancers including a thyroid cancer (TC), in 74 patients with TC alone, and in 88 healthy donors. Two PARP4 intronic variants within the IVS29 (c.

- The study examines the locations and characteristics of immunoglobulin-producing cells (IPCs) in inflamed intestinal tissues from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically identifying two distinct patterns of B lymphocyte infiltration.
- Researchers employed various immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase techniques to analyze IPCs and CD15+ cells in biopsy samples from 14 patients, including those with pre-malignant polyps and colorectal adenocarcinomas.
- Results indicated variability in the distribution of B cell surface markers and suggested that IPCs could experience membrane disintegration, particularly in samples from patients with more advanced lesions.
