Background: Gliomas, particularly high-grade gliomas, are the most common primary brain tumors. From the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) database, the relationships between the altered molecular pathways and gliomas could be easily observed. A close connection in the occurrence of the pathogenesis exists between the microenvironment, the glioma, and the associated genes.
Methods: Validation of the role of ZNF311 oncogene was confirmed by data from the CGGA dataset on glioblastoma and low-grade glioma. Furthermore, we used CIBERSORT to analyze the correlation between ZNF311 and cancer immune infiltrates.
Results: According to our analysis, ZNF311 was expressed higher in patients with grade-depended glioma with poor prognosis. In addition, we obtained valuable prognostic results between isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and ZNF311 through the analysis of integrated correlations. Similarly, we simultaneously revealed the prognostic results between 1p/19q and ZNF311. In addition, we found that ZNF311 is correlated with a large number of tumor-infiltrating immune cells.
Conclusions: Based on the study findings, we conclude that ZNF311 is potentially a novel biomarker for assessing prognosis and immune infiltration in glioblastoma and diffuse glioma cases.

Background: Fetal sex and placental development impact pregnancy outcomes and fetal-maternal health, but the critical timepoint of placenta establishment in first trimester is understudied in human pregnancies.
Methods: Pregnant subjects were recruited in late first trimester (weeks 10-14) at time of chorionic villus sampling, a prenatal diagnostic test. Leftover placenta tissue was collected and stored until birth outcomes were known, then DNA and RNA were isolated from singleton, normal karyotype pregnancies resulting in live births.

Recent studies have linked constitutive telomere length (TL) to aging-related diseases including cancer at different sites. ATM participates in the signaling of telomere erosion, and inherited mutations in ATM have been associated with increased risk of cancer, particularly breast cancer. The goal of this study was to investigate whether carriage of an ATM mutation and TL interplay to modify cancer risk in ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) families.

Article Synopsis
- The cause of schizophrenia is still unclear, involving both genetic and environmental elements, with DNA methylation being a key epigenetic factor affecting gene expression and potentially contributing to brain disease development.
- A study analyzed the methylation status of over 27,000 CpG islands in 20 Bulgarian individuals, categorized by gender and treatment response, comparing them to control groups to see how treatment impacted methylation profiles.
- Significant differences in methylation were observed between male schizophrenia patients in complete remission and control groups, suggesting that antipsychotic drugs may influence epigenetic changes and could serve as potential targets for new treatment strategies.
