Clonality was tested in 86 tumours from 25 patients with recurrent and multifocal superficial bladder transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs) using the analysis of TP53 mutations and of LOH in the 17p13 and 9p21 regions. Tumours from the majority of individuals showed either absence or presence of the same TP53 mutation and/or an identical LOH pattern, with the same allele lost in all tumours. Only two pairs of tumours from two patients had discordant findings, which were incompatible with monoclonality. Therefore, our results rather support the monoclonal model of development of highly recurrent superficial bladder TCCs.

Article Synopsis
- Tumour suppressor genes are crucial in the development of lung cancer, which is a common type of cancer that often shows resistance to initial treatment.
- Extensive research has been focused on understanding how mutations in these genes lead to cancer progression and treatment failure, particularly looking at specific chromosomal areas vulnerable to loss of heterozygosity (LOH) due to genetic and environmental factors.
- The review aims to provide insight into the molecular mechanisms behind these alterations and to inspire future research efforts for more effective lung cancer therapies.

Article Synopsis
- Glioma is a major form of malignant brain cancer, with glioblastoma being particularly deadly, so researchers conducted a genetic study in Australia to explore risk factors by subtype and sex.
- They analyzed genetic data for over 560 glioma cases and 2,237 controls, focusing on specific genetic variations (SNPs) linked to glioma risk, using logistic regression for their analysis.
- The study confirmed earlier findings about certain genetic regions related to glioma risk, particularly emphasizing a stronger risk association in females for the 8q24.21 region, suggesting that understanding sex differences could improve prevention and treatment strategies.
This study identified a total of 28 genetic loci (comprising 31 genes), which were found to be altered in oral cancer patients having a habit of tobacco smoking. Three loci, that is, 17p13.1 (), 9p21.

Beyond rearrangement, Burkitt lymphoma (BL) often presents with additional aberrations. Biopsy touch imprints from 72 children with BL were tested with interphase fluorescence in-situ hybridization (i-FISH) for , , , IGH, IGK and IGL rearrangements and copy-number aberrations involving 1q21/1p32, 7cen/7q31, 9cen/9p21, 13q14/13q34 and 17cen/17p13. Diploid status deviations were investigated with chromosome enumeration probes.
