No studies have tested the hypothesis that the onset of a disease can be predicted by gene expression profiling. The AKR/J mouse strain, which spontaneously develops acute T cell lymphatic leukemia, was used to implement a novel strategy to generate global gene expression profiles of WBCs at different time points. The experimental approach was bias free because it was unknown as to which individuals in the mouse population would eventually develop the disease. Our results suggest that profiling WBC gene expression may be an effective means for the very early diagnosis of disease in humans.

This study utilizes single-cell RNA sequencing data to reveal the transcriptomic characteristics of breast cancer and normal epithelial cells. Nine significant cell populations were identified through stringent quality control and batch effect correction. Further classification of breast cancer epithelial cells based on the PAM50 method and clinical subtypes highlighted significant heterogeneity between triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-triple-negative breast cancer (NTNBC).

Chapter 5: THE ROLE OF GENETICS IN PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM.

Ann Endocrinol (Paris)

January 2025

Univ. Lille, Inserm, CHU Lille, U1286 - Infinite, F-59045 Lille Cedex, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Lille University Hospital, Lille, France. Electronic address:

Around 10% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism are thought to be genetic in origin, some of which are part of a syndromic form such as multiple endocrine neoplasia types 1, 2A or 4 or hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome, while the remainder are cases of isolated familial primary hyperparathyroidism. Recognition of these genetic forms is important to ensure appropriate management according to the gene and type of variant involved, but screening for a genetic cause is not justified in all patients presenting primary hyperparathyroidism. The indications for genetic analysis have made it possible to propose a decision tree that takes into account whether the presentation is familial or sporadic, syndromic or isolated, patient age, and histopathological type of parathyroid lesion.

Imaging Department, Nuclear Medicine Service, Gustave Roussy, Université Paris-Saclay, F-94805, Villejuif, France.

Parathyroid carcinoma is extremely rare, affecting 1% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. For this reason, management is poorly codified and requires expertise in specialized center. PC is genetically determined in a quarter to a third of cases, notably involving the CDC73 gene coding for parafibromin.

Background: ARPC1B has been identified as a key regulator of malignant biological behavior in various tumors. However, its specific role in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains poorly understood. This study aims to evaluate the influence of ARPC1B on the prognosis and disease progression in ccRCC patients.
