Clinicopathological Implications of RHOA Mutations in Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma: A Meta-analysis: RHOA mutations in AITL.

Background: Studies have recently shown that RHOA mutations play a crucial role in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) pathogenesis. We aimed to pool data from these studies to provide a comparison of clinicopathological features between the RHOA mutant and RHOA wild-type groups in the AITL population.

Methods: We searched PubMed and Web of Science for the keywords "RHOA AND lymphoma" and selected only studies reporting the clinical significance of RHOA mutations in AITL.

genetic polymorphism in the Vietnamese population.

Genetic polymorphism of has been shown to affect enzyme activity and thereby contribute to inter-individual variability in drug metabolism and response. The complete genetic variation of in Vietnam still remains obscure even though data of common alleles in Vietnamese Kinh have been reported. To establish the extent of polymorphism in Vietnamese.

Droplet digital PCR as an alternative to FISH for MYCN amplification detection in human neuroblastoma FFPE samples.

Background: MYCN amplification directly correlates with the clinical course of neuroblastoma and poor patient survival, and serves as the most critical negative prognostic marker. Although fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) remains the gold standard for clinical diagnosis of MYCN status in neuroblastoma, its limitations warrant the identification of rapid, reliable, less technically challenging, and inexpensive alternate approaches.

Methods: In the present study, we examined the concordance of droplet digital PCR (ddPCR, in combination with immunohistochemistry, IHC) with FISH for MYCN detection in a panel of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human neuroblastoma samples.

Polymorphic analysis of CYP2C9 gene in Vietnamese population.

Genetic variations in CYP2C9 are associated to inter-individual variability of drugs metabolism and response. The only report has been done previously mainly focusing on the common variant alleles of CYP2C9 in Vietnamese Kinh subjects. However, little is known about the complete spectrum of this gene polymorphism in different ethnic groups of Vietnam.
