Although atomoxetine, a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, is widely used in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), there is limited data on its cytogenetic effects. This study aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of atomoxetine and . Chromosome aberration and micronucleus assays were used to analyze the genotoxic effect of atomoxetine in human peripheral blood lymphocytes under culture conditions.

Acetamide is a hepatocarcinogen in rats. We previously revealed that acetamide induces characteristic large micronuclei in rat liver, suggesting the possible involvement of chromosome aberrations in acetamide-induced hepatocarcinogenesis. To elucidate the mechanism of large micronuclei formation, in this study we examined time-dependent changes in rat hepatocytes after administration of acetamide.

Balanced translocation carriers experience elevated reproductive risks, including pregnancy loss and children with anomalies due to generating chromosomally unbalanced gametes. While understanding the likelihood of producing unbalanced conceptuses is critical for individuals to make reproductive decisions, risk estimates are difficult to obtain as most balanced translocations are unique. To improve reproductive risk estimates, Drs.

Myelodysplastic neoplasia with complex karyotype (CK-MDS) poses significant clinical challenges and is associated with poor survival. Detection of structural variants (SVs) is crucial for diagnosis, prognostication, and treatment decision-making in MDS. However, the current standard-of-care (SOC) cytogenetic testing, relying on karyotyping, often yields ambiguous results in cases with CK.

Chromosomal aberrations are rare but known causes of movement disorders, presenting with broad phenotypes in which dystonia may be predominant. During the investigation of such cases, chromosomal studies are not often considered as a first approach. In this article, the authors describe a family affected by a generalized form of dystonia, evolving from a focal phenotype, for which a new X chromosome large duplication was found to be the likely causative, therefore highlighting the role of such studies when facing complex movement disorders.
