Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) belongs to the group of human herpes virus and can cause clinical and subclinical infections. Although EBV-related disease presentations are similar, they can lead to oncogenic transformation with various clinical manifestations. A thorough workup with morphology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular studies is crucial for the diagnosis of EBV-positive polymorphic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder, not otherwise specified (NOS), which is a new entity introduced by International Consensus Classification in 2022. We describe an interesting presentation of EBV-positive polymorphic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder with laryngeal involvement to bring awareness to this entity and we would like to address the need for more accessible treatment options.

Objectives: Unlike other diseases, cancer is not just a genome disease but should broadly be viewed as a disease of the cellular machinery. Therefore, integrative multifaceted approaches are crucial to understanding the complex nature of cancer biology. Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2), encoded by the human BCL-2 gene, is an anti-apoptotic molecule that plays a key role in apoptosis and genetic variation of Bcl-2 proteins and is vital in disrupting the apoptotic machinery.

Particularly in this regard, they are often used to study infection and vaccine-associated broadly neutralizing antibody responses. This has resulted in an increasing demand for improved genetic resources for the immunoglobulin (IG) loci, which harbor antibody-encoding genes.

Structural abnormalities within the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) can present similarly to Brugada syndrome. A 34-year-old woman with no medical history presented with polymorphic ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest and initial electrocardiogram showed type I Brugada pattern. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed prominent tissue thickening at the RVOT with late gadolinium enhancement.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-threatening condition characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure, leading to right heart failure, and mortality. The role of telomere length, a marker of biological aging, in PAH remains unclear. We utilized summary-level data from genome-wide association studies for various measures of telomere length and PAH.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disorder characterized by widespread inflammation and autoantibody production. Its development and progression involve genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have repeatedly identified a susceptibility signal at 16p13, its fine-scale source and its functional and mechanistic role in SLE remain unclear.
