Objectives: Since mutation is a rare driver gene mutation found in a small number of essential thrombocythemia (ET) patients, the clinical characteristics of patients with mutations and their association with thrombotic events have not yet been elucidated in Japan.
Methods: We enrolled 579 Japanese ET patients based on the diagnostic criteria of the WHO classification 2017 and compared clinical characteristics of -mutated patients ( = 22; 3.8%) to V617F-mutated ( = 299; 51.6%), -mutated ( = 144; 24.9%), and triple-negative (TN) ( = 114; 19.7%) patients.
Results: Thrombosis during follow up was observed in 4 out of 22 (18.2%) in the -mutated group, which was the highest among all driver gene mutation groups (V617F-mutated, 8.7%; -mutated, 3.5%; TN,1.8%). The and V617F-mutated groups had worse thrombosis-free survival (TFS) than the -mutated ( = 0.043) and TN groups ( = 0.006). Univariable analysis revealed that a history of thrombosis was a possible risk factor for thrombosis among -mutated patients (hazard ratio: 9.572, = 0.032).
Conclusions: -mutated ET patients should require more intensive management to prevent recurrence of thrombosis.

Joubert Syndrome (JS) is a congenital cerebellar ataxia typically inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, although rare X-linked inheritance can occur. It is characterized by hypotonia evolving into ataxia, global developmental delay, oculomotor apraxia, breathing dysregulation, and multiorgan involvement. To date, there are 40 causative genes implicated in JS, all of which encode proteins of the primary cilium.

Background: Next-generation sequencing has revolutionized genome science over the last two decades. Indeed, the wealth of sequence information on our genome has deepened our understanding on cancer. Cancer is a genetic disease caused by genetic or epigenetic alternations that affect the expression of genes that control cell functions, particularly cell growth and division.

Copy number variation (CNV) of the amyloid-β precursor protein gene (APP) is a known cause of autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease (ADAD), but de novo genetic variants causing ADAD are rare. We report a mother and daughter with neuropathologically confirmed definite Alzheimer disease (AD) and extensive cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). Copy number analysis identified an increased number of APP copies and genome sequencing (GS) revealed the underlying complex genomic rearrangement (CGR) including a triplication of APP with two unique breakpoint junctions (BPJs).

Calcium hydroxide nanoparticles (Ca(OH)NPs) possess potent antimicrobial activities and unique physical and chemical properties, making them valuable across various fields. However, limited information exists regarding their effects on genomic DNA integrity and their potential to induce apoptosis in normal and cancerous human cell lines. This study thus aimed to evaluate the impact of Ca(OH)NPs on cell viability, genomic DNA integrity, and oxidative stress induction in human normal skin fibroblasts (HSF) and cancerous hepatic (HepG2) cells.

Monkeypox virus (MPXV), a zoonotic pathogen, re-emerged in 2022 with the Clade IIb variant, raising global health concerns due to its unprecedented spread in non-endemic regions. Recent studies have shown that Clade IIb (2022 MPXV) is marked by unique genomic mutations and epidemiological behaviors, suggesting variations in host-virus interactions. This study aimed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) induced by the 2022 MPXV infection through comprehensive bioinformatics analyses of microarray and RNA-Seq datasets from post-infected cell types with different MPXV clades.
