L-myc genotypes have been correlated with prognosis in different human tumors. Its role in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is still unclear. This study aimed to assess the L-myc genotypes in 99 Hong Kong Chinese CRC patients by PCR-RFLP techniques. The results obtained were correlated with clinical, histological and pathological parameters and genetic alterations. The observed frequency of L-myc genotypes (LL:LS:SS) was 27:46:26. The ratio of S to L alleles was 0.51:0.49. Distribution of L-myc genotypes and alleles in Hong Kong Chinese CRC was similar to that of healthy Chinese and CRC patients of other ethnic origins. The homozygous SS genotype was significantly associated with Dukes' stages C versus B. Other parameters including sex, differentiation status and survival, and genetic alterations such as p53 and Ki-ras mutations and Dcc LOH had no significant association with L-myc SS genotype.

Usher syndrome (USH) is the most common cause of inherited deaf-blindness. Here, we produced the LEIi020-A and LEIi020-B induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from dermal fibroblasts derived from a patient with USH1B caused by inheritance of homozygous c.496del variants in MYO7A using episomal plasmids encoding OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC, LIN28, mir302/367 microRNA and shRNA for TP53.

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from a patient diagnosed with spontaneous late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) carrying ApoE3/3 gene and one age-, sex-, and ApoE-matched healthy control. Reprogramming was done using a commercially available Epi5 Reprogramming Kit containing OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, LIN28, and L-MYC as reprogramming factors. The pluripotency of the iPSC lines was verified by the expression of pluripotency markers and by their capacity to differentiate into all three embryonic germ layers in vitro.

Choroideremia (CHM) is a monogenic, X-linked inherited retinal disease caused by mutations in the CHM gene. CHM patients develop progressive loss of vision due to degeneration of cell layers in the retina. In this report, the human-induced pluripotent stem cell, MUi032-A, was generated from CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells of a male CHM patient by co-electroporation of non-integration episomal vectors containing OCT4/shp53, Sox-2/KLF4, and L-MYC/LIN-28.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) obtained from genetically characterized patients benefit the biological study of bipolar disorder (BD). Here, we present iPSC lines from three-generation patients with BD and recurrent depressive disorder (RDD) and a healthy control sibling in a family. All patients shared the specified haplotype in the 1p36-35, previously reported as the susceptibility locus of mood disorders.

Article Synopsis
- The study created induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell lines using fibroblasts from the dura mater of four deceased individuals who had low genetic risk for psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
- The fibroblasts were reprogrammed into iPS cells using specific genetic factors delivered through episomal vectors.
- All iPS cell lines maintained the same genetic profile as the original brain tissues, expressed markers indicating pluripotency, and demonstrated the ability to differentiate into all three embryonic germ layers.
