Novel PATL2 variants cause female infertility with oocyte maturation defect.

J Assist Reprod Genet

August 2024

Birth Defects Prevention and Control Technology Research Center, Medical Innovation Research Division of Chinese, PLA General Hospital, Beijing, 100853, China.

Purpose: Oocyte maturation defect (OOMD) is a rare cause of in vitro fertilization failure characterized by the production of immature oocytes. Compound heterozygous or homozygous PATL2 mutations have been associated with oocyte arrest at the germinal vesicle (GV), metaphase I (MI), and metaphase II (MII) stages, as well as morphological changes.

Methods: In this study, we recruited three OOMD cases and conducted a comprehensive multiplatform laboratory investigation.

Genome-wide methylation profiling of early colorectal cancer using an Illumina Infinium Methylation EPIC BeadChip.

World J Gastrointest Oncol

April 2022

Medical Innovation Research Division, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing 100853, China.

Article Synopsis
  • - DNA methylation plays a crucial role in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) and analyzing specific methylated genes could provide valuable diagnostic insights.
  • - Researchers utilized the Illumina Infinium Human Methylation 850K BeadChip to study genome-wide methylation patterns in early CRC and adenoma patients, revealing significant differences in 1865 methylated CpG sites.
  • - The identified methylated sites were distributed across all chromosomes and were linked to important biological functions through enrichment analyses, indicating their potential as biomarkers in CRC detection.

Background: Cobalamin C deficiency (cblC) caused by the MMACHC mutations is the most common type of the disorders of intracellular cobalamin metabolism. While the c.609G > A mutation is most frequent in Chinese cblC patients, its correlation with phenotype has not been delineated.

The predictive value of selected serum microRNAs for acute GVHD by TaqMan MicroRNA arrays.

Ann Hematol

October 2016

Core Laboratory of Translational Medicine, State Key Laboratory of Kidney Disease, Chinese PLA General Hospital, 28 Fu-Xing Road, Beijing, 100853, China.

Currently, the diagnosis of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is mainly based on clinical symptoms and biopsy results. This study was designed to further explore new no noninvasive biomarkers for aGVHD prediction/diagnosis. We profiled miRNAs in serum pools from patients with aGVHD (grades II-IV) (n = 9) and non-aGVHD controls (n = 9) by real-time qPCR-based TaqMan MicroRNA arrays.

A hypothesis on the metabolism of glyceryl trinitrate in vascular endothelial cells.

Clin Chim Acta

November 2001

Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Chinese PLA General Hospital, 100853, Beijing, PR China.

Background: Extensive research has been conducted regarding the mechanism of action of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN). It is currently believed that GTN undergoes a thiol-dependent metabolic pathway and releases its active metabolite, nitric oxide (NO) and/or S-nitrosothiols (R-SNO). This activates guanylyl cyclase (GC) leading to the formation of cGMP, which is responsible for the relaxation of vascular smooth muscles and the inhibition of platelet aggregation.
