Arachnomelia syndrome (AS) is a lethal congenital malformation of skeleton in cattle, which proved to be an autosomal recessive inherited defect. This disease was mainly observed in European Brown Swiss and German Fleckvieh populations. This review focused on the discovery history, pathologic characteristics, mode of inheritance, and progresses on molecular mechanism of AS in both European Brown Swiss and German Fleckvieh populations. Moreover, through analyzing candidate genes in the mapping region related to bone development and using the methods of comparative genomics, this paper provides a starting point of identifying the causal gene(s) of AS and establishing detection method of the mutations.

Prospective validation of ORACLE, a clonal expression biomarker associated with survival of patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

Human tumors are diverse in their natural history and response to treatment, which in part results from genetic and transcriptomic heterogeneity. In clinical practice, single-site needle biopsies are used to sample this diversity, but cancer biomarkers may be confounded by spatiogenomic heterogeneity within individual tumors. Here we investigate clonally expressed genes as a solution to the sampling bias problem by analyzing multiregion whole-exome and RNA sequencing data for 450 tumor regions from 184 patients with lung adenocarcinoma in the TRACERx study.

Objectives: Acceleration of the haemostasis process after dermatological surgery predominantly relies on mechanical methods, such as the use of sutures or staples. To our knowledge, there is currently no commercialised haemostatic agent for this specific application. Due to the protein precipitation properties of the 50% (w/v) aluminium chloride hexahydrate solution, its physicochemical stability and maintenance of sterility over a 6 month period were assessed.

Division of Hematologic Malignancies, Medical Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Although sharing care with local oncologists after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has been proposed for patients living far from HCT centers, it is not known whether a shared strategy is safe or improves patient quality of life (QOL).
Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of sharing follow-up care after HCT between the HCT specialty center and local oncologists.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a multicenter collaborative randomized clinical trial of patients undergoing HCT at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI)-a high volume HCT center in Boston (Massachusetts)-and 8 local oncology practices.
Genetic Ancestry-Based Differences in Biomarker-Based Eligibility for Precision Oncology Therapies.

Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Center for Molecular Oncology, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York.
Importance: Although differences in the prevalence of key cancer-specific somatic mutations as a function of genetic ancestry among patients with cancer has been well-established, few studies have addressed the practical clinical implications of these differences for the growing number of biomarker-driven treatments.
Objective: To determine if the approval of precision oncology therapies has benefited patients with cancer from various ancestral backgrounds equally over time.
Design, Setting, And Participants: A retrospective analysis of samples from patients with solid cancers who underwent clinical sequencing using the integrated mutation profiling of actionable cancer targets (MSK-IMPACT) assay between January 2014 and December 2022 was carried out.
Cranial osteology and neuroanatomy of the late Permian reptile and implications for early reptile evolution.

Millerettidae are a group of superficially lizard-like Permian stem reptiles originally hypothesized as relevant to the ancestry of the reptile crown group, and particularly to lepidosaurs and archosaurs. Since the advent of cladistics, millerettids have typically been considered to be more distant relatives of crown reptiles as the earliest-diverging parareptiles and therefore outside of 'Eureptilia'. Despite this cladistic consensus, some conspicuous features of millerettid anatomy invite reconsideration of their relationships.
