The strong correlation between reproductive life cycle type and chromosome numbers in green plants has been a long-standing mystery in evolutionary biology. Within green plants, the derived condition of heterosporous reproduction has emerged from the ancestral condition of homospory in disparate locations on the phylogenetic tree at least 11 times, of which three lineages are extant. In all green plant lineages where heterospory has emerged, there has been a significant downsizing in chromosome numbers.

Primary testicular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PT-DLBCL) is a rare and aggressive lymphoma with molecular heterogeneity not well characterize. In this study, we performed next-generation sequencing analysis for a large number of DNA and RNA samples from patients with PT-DLBCL. DNA sequencing analysis identified ≥ 3 chromosomes with copy number variations (CNVs) and microsatellite instability as prognostic biomarkers, rather than mutations and genetic subtypes.

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major health concern, which can be the sign of a latent mitochondrial disease. However, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contribution is largely unexplored in SCD at population level. Recently, mtDNA variants have been associated with congenital cardiopathy and higher risk of ischemic heart disease, suggesting them as potential risk factors also in SCD.

NUT carcinoma is a rare, aggressive malignancy characterized by chromosomal rearrangements involving the NUTM1 gene. We present the case of a 47-year-old male with a history of hypertension, diagnosed with NUT carcinoma originating in the ethmoid sinus and accompanied by extensive neck metastases. The patient underwent a left modified radical neck dissection and endoscopic nasal tumor excision, followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
