The pericentric inversion on chromosome 16 [inv(16)(p13q22)] and related t(16;16)(p13;q22) are recurrent aberrations associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) M4 Eo. Both abberations result in a fusion of the core binding factor beta (CBFB) and smooth muscle myosin heavy chain gene (MYH11). A selected genomic 6.9-kb BamHl probe detects MYH11 DNA rearrangements in 18 of 19 inv(16)/t(16;16) patients tested using HindIII digested DNA. The rearranged fragments were not detectable after remission in two cases tested, while they were present after relapse in one of these two cases tested.

Identification of a prognostic disulfidptosis-related gene signature in hepatocellular cancer.

Background: Disulfidptosis regulate various biological processes in cancer. However, there is limited research on the genes related to disulfidptosis in predicting the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We aimed to develop a reliable disulfidptosis-related gene signature, which will characterize different HCC subtypes and predict their prognosis.

Although genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous variants associated with changes in blood pressure in humans, only a small percentage of these variants actually cause HTN. In order to identify relevant genes important in SMC function in HTN, we screened three separate human GWAS and Mendelian randomization studies to identify SNPs located within non-coding gene regions, focusing on genes encoding epigenetic enzymes, as these have been recently identified to control SMC fate in cardiovascular disease.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a malignant tumor of the male reproductive system, and its incidence has increased significantly in recent years. This study aimed to further identify candidate biomarkers with prognostic and diagnostic significance by integrating gene expression and DNA methylation data from PCa patients through association analysis.
Material And Methods: To this end, this paper proposes a sparse partial least squares regression algorithm based on hypergraph regularization (HR-SPLS) by integrating and clustering two kinds of data.
Application of droplet digital PCR in minimal residual disease monitoring of rare fusion transcripts and mutations in haematological malignancies.

Leukaemia of various subtypes are driven by distinct chromosomal rearrangement or genetic abnormalities. The leukaemogenic fusion transcripts or genetic mutations serve as molecular markers for minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring. The current study evaluated the applicability of several droplet digital PCR assays for the detection of these targets at RNA and DNA levels (atypical BCR::ABL1 e19a2, e23a2ins52, e13a2ins74, rare types of CBFB::MYH11 (G and I), PCM1::JAK2, KMT2A::ELL2, PICALM::MLLT10 fusion transcripts and CEBPA frame-shift and insertion/duplication mutations) with high sensitivity.

Recurrent gene fusions are common drivers of disease pathophysiology in leukemias. Identifying these structural variants helps stratify disease by risk and assists with therapy choice. Precise molecular diagnosis in low-and-middle-income countries (LMIC) is challenging given the complexity of assays, trained technical support, and the availability of reliable electricity.
