Objective: To obtain allelic loss mapping and define the minimal lost region on chromosome 1q21 in gastric carcinomas, and explore role of 1q21 loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the development and progression of gastric carcinogenesis.
Methods: Using 7 high-density microsatellite markers and PCR method, lq21 LOH was analyzed in 30 paired specimens of fresh gastric carcinoma, and the relation between 1q21 LOH and the clinicopathological features of the malignancy was tested.
Results: The LOH frequency on chromosome 1q21 from these gastric carcinoma tissues reached 60% (18/30). The LOH frequencies of the microsatellite markers D1S514, D1S2696, D1S498, D1S305, D1S2624, D1S2635 and D1S2702 were 13.3%, 10%, 20%, 23.3%, 33.3%, 40% and 23.3%, respectively. The minimal lost region on 1q21 LOH in the gastric carcinoma tissues was located in the region between D1S2624 and D1S2707, in the vicinity of D1S2635. No significant relations of 1q21 LOH to the patients' age, gender, location of the primary foci, clinical staging, or the tumor differentiation were noted (P>0.05), but 1q21 LOH was correlated to lymph node metastases of the malignancy (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Higher frequency of 1q21 LOH occurs in gastric carcinoma cells, suggesting the presence of potential tumor suppressor genes closely associated with gastric carcinogenesis near the region of D1S2635.

Structural reorganization of chromosomes by genomic duplications and/or deletions are known as copy number variations (CNVs). Pathogenic and disease susceptible CNVs alter gene dosage and its phenotypic expression that often leads to human genetic diseases including Neurological disorders. CNVs affecting same common genes in multiple neurodevelopmental disorders can better explain the shared clinical and genetic aetiology across brain diseases.

- The study investigated the impact of the t(11;14) genetic anomaly in multiple myeloma patients to guide future treatment strategies.
- Researchers examined data from 74 patients with t(11;14), comparing them to two other groups with different genetic profiles (IgH HR-MM and Hyperdiploid-MM), finding no significant differences in demographics or initial treatment patterns.
- While overall progression-free survival was similar across groups, patients with t(11;14) showed poorer outcomes, highlighting the potential for using targeted therapies like venetoclax to improve treatment effectiveness for these patients.

Little is known about genomic alterations of gestational choriocarcinoma (GC), unique cancer that originates in pregnant tissues, and the progression mechanisms from the nonmalignant complete hydatidiform mole (CHM) to GC. Whole-exome sequencing (20 GCs) and/or single-nucleotide polymorphism microarray (29 GCs) were performed. We analyzed copy-neutral loss-of-heterozygosity (CN-LOH) in 29 GCs that exhibited androgenetic CN-LOHs (20 monospermic, 8 dispermic) and no CN-LOH (one with NLRP7 mutation).
