BRCA-1-associated protein-1 (BAP1) tumour predisposition syndrome (BAP1-TPDS) is a dominant hereditary cancer syndrome. The full spectrum of associated malignancies is yet to be fully characterised. We detail the phenotypic features of the first reported family with a whole BAP1 gene deletion. This report also adds to the emerging evidence that the rhabdoid subtype of meningioma is a part of the clinical spectrum of this tumour predisposition syndrome.

microRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules that influence the development and progression of many diseases. Research have documented that miRNAs have a significant role in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of complex human diseases. Recently, scientists have devoted extensive resources to attempting to find the connections between miRNAs and diseases.

Background/aim: The disruption of cell-cycle control can lead to an imbalance in cell proliferation, often accompanied by genomic instability, which in turn can facilitate carcinogenesis. This study aimed to examine the impact of CDKN1A rs1801270 and rs1059234 polymorphisms on the risk of childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in Taiwan.

Materials And Methods: The genotypes of CDKN1A rs1801270 and rs1059234 in 266 childhood ALL cases and 266 controls were determined using PCR-RFLP techniques.

Purpose: Rathke's cleft cysts (RCC) are present in up to 20% of autopsy studies but only a minority necessitate surgical treatment. Inflammation of RCC is thought to be significant in three processes: the development of classical symptoms, a predisposition to rupture or apoplexy, and increasing the rate of RCC recurrence. We aim to characterize clinical presentation, histological and radiological findings in patients with surgically managed RCC.

Chronic kidney diseases (CKD) are a group of multi-factorial disorders that markedly impair kidney functions with progressive renal deterioration. Aging contributes to age-specific phenotypes in kidneys, which undergo several structural and functional alterations, such as a decline in regenerative capacity and increased fibrosis, inflammation, and tubular atrophy, all predisposing them to disease and increasing their susceptibility to injury while impeding their recovery. A central feature of these age-related processes is the activation of the p53/p21 pathway signaling.

Breast cancer is a disease that has a 1 in 8 lifetime risk for women, making it an international burden. Although breast cancer mostly affects women, men have a lifetime risk of around 1 in 1000. The majority of breast cancer instances continue linked to breast cancers that have acquired somatic mutations during a person's lifespan.
