Molecular-genetic analysis of DNA by PCR-RFLP technique in a family with a case of unilateral retinoblastoma was performed. The carrier status of mutated Rb gene in a sister of proband was excluded on the basis of molecular analysis despite unsynonymous pedigree data.

Modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline in community-dwelling older adults differ by sex and APOE4.
J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci

Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA.
Objectives: The extent to which lifestyle shapes trajectories of normal cognitive aging, and the factors with highest potential for mitigating cognitive decline, remain poorly uncharacterized.
Method: Participants of the Rancho Bernardo Study underwent demographic, health, and behavioral characterization at baseline, along with up to seven cognitive assessments over a 27-year follow-up period. Factor analysis of 24 baseline risk variables identified 9 composite factors.

The APOE4 allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). While APOE4 is strongly associated with amyloid-beta (Aβ), its relationship with tau accumulation is less understood. Studies evaluating the role of APOE4 on tau accumulation showed conflicting results, particularly regarding the independence of these associations from Aβ load.

Background: Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) ε4 genotype is a well-known risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its effect on predicting cognitive decline in individuals without dementia and its association with age are unclear.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between ApoE polymorphism and risk of cognitive decline and dementia incidence in the elderly without dementia.

Cancer vaccines are promising as an effective means of stimulating the immune system to clear tumors as well as to establish immune surveillance. In this paper, we discuss the main platforms and current status of cancer vaccines and propose a new cancer vaccine platform, the cytosolic vesicle vaccine. This vaccine has a unique structure that can integrate antigen and adjuvant carriers to improve the delivery efficiency and immune activation ability, which brings new ideas for cancer vaccine design.
