Purpose: B-cell expansion with nuclear factor kappa B and T-cell anergy (BENTA) is an inborn error of immunity characterized by congenital polyclonal B-cell lymphocyte expansion. In this report, we present a case of a girl diagnosed with BENTA carrying a novel CARD11 germline mutation, aiming to clarify the clinical presentation of BENTA by conducting a literature review.
Methods: Genetic analysis, including whole-exome sequencing, was performed using genomic DNA extracted from the patient's peripheral blood, oral mucosa, and fingernails.
Introduction: The role of syngameons in adaption to microgeographical environmental heterogeneity is important and could be one of the sources of rich species diversity in tropical forests. In addition, negative frequency- or density-dependent selection is one of the major processes contributing to the maintenance of genetic diversity.
Methods: To assess genetic factors that affect the fitness of seedlings of , a dominant canopy tree species in hill dipterocarp forests, the inter- and intra-population genetic structure of individuals from natural populations and individuals at two permanent plots in a hill dipterocarp forest with reproductive stage was studied.
Revealing the spatial distribution of adaptive genetic variation is both a challenging and crucial task in evolutionary ecology, essential for understanding local adaptation within species, and in management, for predicting species responses to future climate change. This understanding is particularly important for long-lived tree species, which may not be able to migrate quickly enough to adapt to rapid climate changes and may need to rely on their standing genetic variation. In this study, we focused on , a major component of Japan's temperate forests and an important forestry species adapted to the humid environment of monsoon Asia.
