In this paper we report two clinically recognizable chromosomal syndromes, both resulting from isochromosome 18 formation, i.e. trisomy 18q and tetrasomy 18p. The possible mechanisms of the isochromosome formation are discussed and the literature on subject is reviewed.

Endothelial cells (ECs) maintain vessel tone and barrier integrity, regulate blood homeostasis, and prevent the extravasation of leukocytes under normal physiological conditions. Because of the limited lifespans and batch-to-batch differences with respect to the genetic make-up of primary ECs, established immortal EC lines are extensively used for studying endothelial biology. To address this issue, the immortal endothelial cell line EA.

Survival of Medulloblastoma (MB) depends on various factors, including the gene expression profiles of MB tumor tissues. In this study, we identified 967 MB survival-related genes (SRGs) using a gene expression dataset and the Cox proportional hazards regression model. Notably, the SRGs were over-represented on chromosomes 6 and 17, known for the abnormalities monosomy 6 and isochromosome 17 in MB.

Article Synopsis
- Aberrant male germline development can cause a type of cancer called seminoma, which is a tumor in the testicles.
- Seminomas are similar to early-stage germ cells and often have an extra piece of chromosome 12.
- Researchers are studying seminomas using special cells from patients to understand what causes this cancer and how it forms, since there aren't any mouse models to help with this research.
Biologic and Clinical Characteristics of Isochromosome der(17)(q10)t(15;17) in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia.

Introduction: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is genetically characterized by the fusion of promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene with retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) resulting from a t(15;17)(q24;q21) chromosomal translocation. An infrequent but recurrent finding in APL is the formation of an isochromosome of the derivative chromosome 17; ider(17)(q10)t(15;17) or ider(17q). This rearrangement in APL results in an additional copy of the PML-RARα fusion gene as well as loss of 17p/TP53.
