Deletion in chromosome 9p involving the CDKN2A locus (9p21.3) is known in many malignancies. To detect this deletion in adolescent ALL patients we used oligo array CGH and studied 54 patients aged 10-25 years. Deletion rate was 25/54 (46%), of these 19/25 (76%) were homozygous. Small deletions (<200 kb) were found in 8/25 (32%) and the smallest deletion was <30 kb. The only gene affected in all deletions was CDKN2A. We were unable to demonstrate prognostic value of the deletion, however patients with deletion belonged more often (P=0.06) to unfavorable biological category. Our results indicate that CDKN2A deletions <200 kb may not be detected by conventional methods.

Introduction: Structural variants (SVs) of the nebulin gene ( ), including intragenic duplications, deletions, and copy number variation of the triplicate region, are an established cause of recessively inherited nemaline myopathies and related neuromuscular disorders. Large deletions have been shown to cause dominantly inherited distal myopathies. Here we provide an overview of 35 families with muscle disorders caused by such SVs in .

In the present study, we aimed to investigate intratumoral karyotype diversity as well as the estrogen/progesterone effect on the cytogenetic profile of uterine leiomyomas (ULs). A total of 15 UL samples obtained from 15 patients were cultured in the media supplemented with estrogen and/or progesterone and without adding hormones. Conventional cytogenetic analysis of culture samples revealed clonal chromosomal abnormalities in 11 out of 15 ULs.

Objective: Prenatal diagnosis of fetal 13q34 microdeletion is a rare condition, which may present with abnormal fetal development, including facial dysmorphism, mental retardation, and developmental delay. We present a pregnant woman in whom the fetus presented with a 0.24-cm ventricular septal defect at 20 weeks of gestation, with fetal 13q34 (113610612-115092648) deletion.

Introduction: Melanoma arising in blue nevus (BN) is usually evident on histopathology. However, there are cases in the gray zone where neither morphology nor immunostains and molecular studies are conclusive.

Five pink-pigmented bacterial strains, isolated from human skin and classified within the genus , were examined. Among them, four were identified as , while strain OT10 was deemed to be a potential novel species. Strain OT10 exhibited characteristics, such as Gram-stain-negative, oxidase positive, motile, strictly aerobic and rod shaped.
