Background And Objectives: After two doses of mRNA vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), patients on dialysis show a defective humoral response, but a third dose could increase anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG titers. Responses could be different in virus-naive and SARS-CoV-2-recovered patients on dialysis. However, characterization of memory B cell response after three doses is lacking.

One of the best-known consequences of such exchanges is sex reversal in 46,XX males and some 46,XY females, due to exchange in the paternal germline of terminal portions of Xp and Yp, including the SRY gene. Translocations of Xp segments to the Y chromosome result in functional disomy of the X chromosome with an abnormal phenotype and sex reversal if the DSS locus, mapped in Xp21, is present.
