Background: Inflammation may increase stress, while stress may promote inflammation. Most dermatological conditions are chronic and inflammatory, while some, such as cancer, naevi and tumours are non-inflammatory, but may cause stress because of the fear of malignancy and the necessity for surgical and other invasive treatments. Stress among patients with skin diseases is little explored.

Article Synopsis
  • Structural abnormalities on chromosome 7q are commonly found in chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders, specifically involving the CDK6 gene due to translocations.
  • Three notable translocations (t(7;14), t(7;22), and t(2;7)) have been identified that enhance the expression of CDK6 by positioning it near immunoglobulin gene enhancers during B-cell development.
  • Recent studies have linked these genetic rearrangements to lymphoproliferative malignancies in patients, showing that increased CDK6 expression can affect the cell cycle, particularly the G1 phase and G1/S transition.
