Intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21 (iAMP21) defines a distinct cytogenetic subgroup of B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) with poor prognosis that should be investigated in routine practice. Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-array provides a useful method to detect such cases showing a highly characteristic profile.

Intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21 (iAMP21) B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) in children is a high-risk subtype for which targeted drugs are lacking. In this study, we determined the frequency of secondary lesions in 28 iAMP21 BCP-ALL patient samples and investigated cellular sensitivity for candidate-targeted drugs. iAMP21 was enriched in aberrations (10.

Recent studies have demonstrated the association between constitutional ring chromosome 21 (r(21)c) and the development of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21 (iAMP21). iAMP21 acts as a driver which is often accompanied by secondary alterations that influence disease progression. Here, we report an atypical case of iAMP21 B-ALL with a unique molecular profile in the context of r(21)c.

Nuclear lipids play roles in regulatory processes, such as signaling, transcriptional regulation, and DNA repair. In this report, we demonstrate that nuclear lipids may contribute to Ki-67-regulated chromosome integrity during mitosis. In COS-7 cells, nuclear lipids are enriched at the perichromosomal layer and excluded from intrachromosomal regions during early mitosis but are then detected in intrachromosomal regions during late mitosis, as revealed by TT-ExM (expansion microscopy with trypsin digestion and tyramide signal amplification), an improved expansion microscopy technique that enables high-sensitivity and super-resolution imaging of proteins, lipids, and nuclear DNA.

Gene amplification in the form of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) or intrachromosomal homogenous staining regions (HSRs) is an emerging hallmark in cancer. Recent studies implicate abnormal nuclear structures in the biogenesis and evolution of amplified DNA. Here, we discuss how the interplay between aberrant nuclei and gene amplification drives cancer therapy resistance and metastasis.

Background: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked disorder caused by mutations in the DMD gene, with large deletions being the most common type of mutation. Inversions involving the DMD gene are a less frequent cause of the disorder, largely because they often evade detection by standard diagnostic methods such as multiplex ligation probe amplification (MLPA) and whole exome sequencing (WES).
Case Presentation: Our research identified two intrachromosomal inversions involving the dystrophin gene in two unrelated families through Long-read sequencing (LRS).
