, a typical estuarine cichlid species in the West Coast of Africa, is an important fish species in view of its immense contribution to the need of many African nations in terms of nutrition, growth and development. Knowledge of how genetically diverse and the genetic structure of especially with regard to the variation in the genetic constitution of populations in this region will be crucial for improving the fish through rational-breeding, proper management, aquaculture production, and stock conservation. Keeping in view the significance of genetic diversity in fish species, report of studies on genetic diversity in West Africa was reviewed. Morphological and molecular techniques were used to assess genetic diversity of this species for breeding and conservation purposes. We hereby report the extent and pattern of variation in genetic constitution of populations found in some West African countries including Nigeria.

Background: To date, 11 DNA polymerase epsilon (POLE) pathogenic variants have been declared "hotspot" mutations. Patients with endometrial cancer (EC) characterized by POLE hotspot mutations (POLEmut) have exceptional survival outcomes. Whereas international guidelines encourage deescalation of adjuvant treatment in early-stage POLEmut EC, data regarding safety in POLEmut patients with unfavorable characteristics are still under investigation.

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.
