Objective: To identify the characteristics of pain syndrome in patients with schwannomas depending on genetic predisposition.
Material And Methods: The study included 46 patients with peripheral, spinal and intracranial schwannomas, corresponding to the schwannomatosis phenotype according to the 2022 clinical criteria. All patients underwent sequencing of the , and and a copy number study in the .
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive molecular subtype, with a poor survival rate compared to others subtypes. For a long time, chemotherapy was the only systemic treatment for TNBC, and the identification of actionable molecular targets might ultimately improve the prognosis for TNBC patients. We performed a genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation at CpG islands on a collection of one hundred ten breast carcinoma samples and six normal breast tissue samples using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing with the XmaI restriction enzyme (XmaI-RRBS) and identified a subset of TNBC samples with significant hypomethylation at the genes' CpG islands, including CpG dinucleotides covered with cg12853742 and cg21886367 HumanMethylation 450K microarray probes.

Among these, -related eye pathology stands as a prominent form affecting the retina. In this study, we conducted an in-depth analysis of 96 patients harboring variants in the European part of Russia.

By X-ray analysis, it was determined that the synthesis intermediate in all cases is the compound Zn(OH)(NO)∙2HO. It was shown that thermolysis of this compound at 600 °C, regardless of the physicochemical properties of the surfactants, leads to the formation of ZnO with a wurtzite structure and spherical or oval particles.
