The pathogenetic roles of 8q24 amplified segments in leukemic cells with double minute chromosomes remain to be verified. Through comprehensive molecular analyses of 8q24 amplicons in leukemic cells from an acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patient and AML-derived cell line HL60 cells, we identified two novel fusion genes between NSMCE2 and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), namely, PVT1-NSMCE2 and BF104016-NSMCE2. Our study suggests that 8q24 amplicons are associated with the emergence of aberrant chimeric genes between NSMCE2 and oncogenic lncRNAs, and also implicate that the chimeric genes involving lncRNAs potentially possess as-yet-unknown oncogenic functional roles.

The post-translational modification of proteins by SUMO is crucial for cellular viability and mammalian development in part due to the contribution of SUMOylation to genome duplication and repair. To investigate the mechanisms underpinning the essential function of SUMO, we undertook a genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 screen probing the response to SUMOylation inhibition. This effort identified 130 genes whose disruption reduces or enhances the toxicity of TAK-981, a clinical-stage inhibitor of the SUMO E1-activating enzyme.

Worldwide, gastric cancer (GC) is estimated to be the fifth most common type of cancer type in both sexes, ranking sixth for new cases, with >640,850 cases per year, and fourth in terms of mortality rate. Cancer presents numerical and structural alterations in chromosomes, often through gains and losses of regions. In GC, there are multiple genetic alterations, in which those located in cytoband 8q24 have been frequently described; essential genes are present in this cytoband, regulating the homeostasis of crucial biological processes, such as the MYC gene, which induces expression of selective genes to promote cell growth and proliferation.

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic debilitating disease with a significant burden of both organic and psychological comorbidities. It has been shown that certain telomere-related genes (TRGs) affect a wide range of diseases, including HS and its associated comorbidities, but their exact role in HS pathogenesis is still unknown.
Objectives: To determine whether TRG methylomes can be used as biomarkers in HS.

The gene encodes centriole biogenesis, replication, symmetry and cohesion, basal body organization and has recently been associated with the appearance of microcephaly syndromes. -related neurological defects including microcephaly, intellectual disability, congenital dwarfism, ophthalmic manifestations, and epilepsy are mainly due to abnormal brain development pathways and loss-of-function protein mutations. We present a consanguineous Pakistani family clinically suspected of Seckel syndrome with severe microcephaly, severe intellectual disability, short stature, absence of speech, pointed nose, narrow face and bilateral cataract in two siblings residing in the suburbs of Islamabad.

Seckel syndrome is an ultrarare autosomal recessive genetically heterogenous condition characterized by intrauterine and postnatal growth restriction, proportionate severe short stature, severe microcephaly, intellectual disability, and distinctive facial features including a prominent nose. Up to now, 40 patients with molecularly confirmed Seckel syndrome have been reported with biallelic variants in nine genes: ATR, CENPJ, CEP63, CEP152, DNA2, NIN, NSMCE2, RBBP8, and TRAIP.
