Background: A substantial portion of gastric cancer (GC) is linked to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. The characteristics of this viral genome, such as specific viral strains and large structural variations, influence the progression of diseases like nasopharyngeal carcinoma and hematological malignancy. However, the EBV genomes from GC have not been thoroughly characterized.

Understanding the relationship between nutritional status and survival rates can help optimize treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective study was performed on 57 patients who underwent palliative surgery between May 2009 and April 2023.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the link between rare copy number variations (CNVs) in synaptic genes and bipolar disorder (BD) in a Japanese population, using genome hybridization techniques on nearly 2,000 BD patients and 2,760 controls.
- - Results indicate a strong association between the RNF216 gene and BD, with significant findings also related to postsynaptic membrane components, suggesting these genetic factors contribute to BD risk.
- - The findings enhance understanding of BD's genetic underpinnings, highlighting the importance of CNVs in gene regions that may influence the disorder's development.
