Article Abstract

This review aims to provide an overview of neoplastic lesions associated with genetic diseases affecting the female reproductive organs. It seeks to enhance our understanding of the radiological aspects in diagnosing genetic diseases including hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndromes, Lynch syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, and Swyer syndrome, and explores the patterns and mechanisms of inheritance that require elucidation. Additionally, we discuss the imaging characteristics of lesions occurring in other regions due to the same genetic diseases.

Objectives: COVID-19 and systemic sclerosis (SSc) share multiple similarities in their clinical manifestations, alterations in immune response, and therapeutic options. These resemblances have also been identified in other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases where a common genetic component has been found. Thus, we decided to evaluate for the first time this shared genetic architecture with SSc.

Purpose: Reports of gene therapy-associated retinal atrophies and inflammation have highlighted the importance of preclinical safety assessments of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector systems. We evaluated in nonhuman primates (NHPs) the ocular safety and toxicology of a novel AAV gene therapy targeting retinitis pigmentosa caused by mutations in PDE6A, which has since been used in a phase I/II clinical trial (NCT04611503).

Methods: A total of 34 healthy cynomolgus animals (Macaca fascicularis) were treated with subretinal injections of rAAV.

Gene editing is a novel technology within gene therapy, which changes sequences in chromosomal DNA with precision. Even if there are alternative strategies, the Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR/Cas technology has become the dominating principle. During recent years base editing and prime editing, permitting editing without DNA double-strand breaks, have been developed.

Rare inherited diseases caused by mutations in the copper transporters (CTR1) or induce copper deficiency in the brain, causing seizures and neurodegeneration in infancy through poorly understood mechanisms. Here, we used multiple model systems to characterize the molecular mechanisms by which neuronal cells respond to copper deficiency. Targeted deletion of CTR1 in neuroblastoma cells produced copper deficiency that produced a metabolic shift favoring glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation.
