We report the case of a 62-year-old man who presented with splenomegaly, leukocytosis, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Examination of the peripheral blood, bone marrow, and spleen revealed involvement by mantle cell lymphoma, with some blastoid features and an atypical phenotype. Spleen and bone marrow classical chromosome analysis followed by fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed a novel and unusual unbalanced variant of the t(11;14)(q13;q32) translocation, resulting in a complex derivative chromosome harboring the IGH/CCND1 fusion gene. This chromosome was designated as der(14)t(11;14)(q13;q32)t(11;14)(p11.1;p11.2).

The basis of all improvement in (re)production performance of animals and plants lies in the genetic variation. The underlying genetic variation can be further explored through investigations using molecular markers including single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and microsatellite, and more recently structural variants like copy number variations (CNVs). Unlike SNPs, CNVs affect a larger proportion of the genome, making them more impactful vis-à-vis variation at the phenotype level.

Extremely unbalanced data here refers to datasets where the values of independent or dependent variables exhibit severe unbalance in proportions, such as extremely unbalanced case-control ratio, very low incidence rate of disease, heavily censored time-to-event data, and low-frequency or rare variants. In such scenarios, the statistic derived from hypothesis test using the classical statistical method, e.g.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a multifactorial condition, encompassing genetic, anatomical, immunological, endocrine, as well as infectious and environmental factors; however, the etiology remains elusive in a substantial number of cases. Genetic factors linked to RPL include parental karyotype abnormalities (e.g.

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a well-characterized rare genetic connective tissue disorder. The features of MFS are primarily skeletal, ocular, and cardiovascular and are mainly caused by single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the FBN1 gene (MIM#134797) located on chromosome 15q21.1.

Background: Physiologic volar melanotic macules (P-VMM) are understudied. Trauma has been suggested as a predisposing factor. Little has been published over the last several decades.
