Recurrent chromosome translocations involving 11p13 and 14q11 are found in 5-10% of cases of T-ALL. The gene involved in the translocation on chromosome 14 is the T cell antigen receptor alpha or delta. The putative oncogene on chromosome 11 is rhombotin 2 (RBTN2)/translocated in T cell gene 2 (ttg-2), a member of the LIM family of proteins. In this paper we characterize a cell line KOPT-K1 that has a t(11;14)(p13;q11). The breakpoint on chromosome 11 involves an Alu-rich region with the break occurring between two Alu sequences on chromosome 11. In addition, approximately 70 bases from the break on chromosome 11 is a tetranucleotide repeat. Whether either of these structures played a role in the translocation is not known. No heptamer or nonamer sequences, implicated in other rearrangements were found near the breakpoint. The breakpoint on chromosome 11 maps more centromeric than previous translocations of this region. Despite this the RBTN2 gene is highly expressed in KOPT-K1. This cell line will be useful for investigating the role of RBTN2 in leukemogenesis and the mechanism by which the translocation alters the expression of RBTN2.

This study investigated the potential genotoxic and carcinogenic effects of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a hazardous compound found in ranitidine formulations that are used to treat excessive stomach acid. The study first examined the effects of NDMA-contaminated ranitidine formulation on Allium cepa root growth and mitotic activity. The results demonstrated dose-dependent decreases in both root growth and mitotic index indicating genotoxicity and cell division disruption.

Understanding the genetic basis of drought tolerance in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is essential for developing resilient varieties. In this study, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using DArTseq markers to identify marker-trait associations (MTAs) linked to drought tolerance across 90 globally diverse safflower genotypes.

Multi-insertion/deletion polymorphisms (Multi-InDels), as the novel genetic markers, show great potential in forensic research. Whereas, forensic researchers mainly focus on the multi-InDels on the autosomes, which can provide relatively limited information in some complex paternity cases. In this study, a novel X chromosomal multi-InDel multiplex amplification system was designed, containing 22 multi-InDels and one STR locus on the X chromosome.
