Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among children. Two recent genome-wide association studies and several replicated studies have provided convincing evidence that inherited genetic variation in ARID5B contributes to childhood ALL predisposition. In the present study, we performed a meta-analysis to systematically summarize the association between ARID5B genetic polymorphism and the risk for ALL. We conducted a search of case-control studies on the association of ARID5B genetic polymorphisms with susceptibility to ALL in PubMed, EMBASE, Wanfang database in China, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. Data from eligible studies were extracted for meta-analysis. ALL risk associated with ARID5B genetic polymorphism was estimated by pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Nine articles including 13 case-control studies were included in the present meta-analysis. We found that rs10821936 polymorphism in ARID5B gene was associated with increased risk for ALL (P < 0.0001; OR = 1.27; 95%CI, 1.17-1.37). This meta-analysis suggests that ARID5B genetic polymorphism was associated with the increased risk of ALL.

Unraveling the causal impact of smoking and its DNA methylation signatures on cardiovascular disease: Mendelian randomization and colocalization analysis.
Clin Epigenetics
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, 138 Tongzipo Road, Yuelu District, Changsha, 410013, Hunan, China.
Background: To explore the mechanisms linking smoking to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) from an epigenetic perspective.
Methods: Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis was performed to assess the causal effects of smoking behavior and DNA methylation levels at smoking-related CpG sites on nine CVDs, including aortic aneurysm, atrial fibrillation, coronary atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, intracerebral hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage. Colocalization analysis was used to further identify key smoking-related CpG sites from the MR causal estimates.
Association of B-Lineage Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Gene Polymorphisms with Poor Prognostic Features.
Asian Pac J Cancer Prev
December 2024
Department of Science and Postgraduate Education, Scientific Center of Pediatrics and Pediatric Surgery, Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan.
Objective: Of this study was to analyse the correlation of gene polymorphisms with clinical and laboratory data of paediatric patients with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia with prognostically unfavourable features.
Methods: A study of 200 children with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) treated with polychemotherapy programmes was conducted. Analysis by sex revealed a statistically insignificant predominance of the group of boys over girls (54%).

Rationale: Primary pituitary lymphoma is defined as a lymphoma that develops only in the pituitary gland without involvement of other areas.
Patient Concerns: We present the case of a 61-year-old female patient who underwent an endonasal transsphenoidal approach for the preoperative diagnosis of a pituitary macroadenoma based on radiological findings.
Diagnoses: Microscopically, the capillaries were distended by tumor cells.

Article Synopsis
- Ovarian steroid cell tumor, not otherwise specified (SCT-NOS), is a rare tumor type linked to symptoms like excessive hair growth and masculinization.
- A case report describes a patient who had a previous yolk sac tumor and elevated serum CA72-4 levels when diagnosed with SCT-NOS, which was later confirmed through histopathological examination.
- Genetic analysis revealed ten mutations in various genes, suggesting potential underlying mechanisms of the tumor.

Background: Deeper insights into ERBB2-driven cancers are essential to develop new treatment approaches for ERBB2+ breast cancers (BCs). We employed the Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse model to unearth genetic factors underpinning Erbb2-driven mammary tumour development and metastasis.
Methods: 732 F1 hybrid female mice between FVB/N MMTV-Erbb2 and 30 CC strains were monitored for mammary tumour phenotypes.
