The first case of six-way complex translocation of t(4;7;9;22;8;14) in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia
AbstractIn chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), patients exhibit the t(9;22)(q34.1;q11.2) translocation, resulting in the formation of a Philadelphia chromosome (Ph). However, a subset of CML patients display variant complex translocations, characterized by three-way, four-way, and five-way translocations, which have been occasionally associated with a poor prognosis. This case report presents the first case of a t(9;22) variant six-way complex translocation in CML. The R banding chromosome karyotyping technique was used to obtain preliminary karyotyping results, and the multi-probe FISH technique was used to assist in the veri...

Retinoblastoma and polydactyly in a child with 46, XY, 15pstk+ karyotype —A case report and literature review
ConclusionWe report the case of a baby boy with Rb and polydactyly exhibiting a 46, XY, 15pstk+ Karyotype. We discuss potential genetic factors related to both Rb and polydactyly. Furthermore, there is a need for further exploration into the impact of chromosomal polymorphisms in Rb with polydactyly. (Source: Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine)

Long-term low-dose lamotrigine for paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia: a two-year investigation of cognitive function in children
ConclusionProlonged duration of untreated PKD in children may elevate the risk of ADHD comorbidity. Notably, following a 2-year lamotrigine regimen, enhancements were observed in both cognitive test outcomes and ADHD symptomatology. (Source: Frontiers in Psychiatry)

High-resolution genomic profiling and locus-specific FISH in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue of obese patients
Obesity is known as a heterogeneous and multifactorial disease. The distribution of body fat is crucial for the development of metabolic complications. Comprehensive genetic analyses on different fat tissues are rare but necessary to provide more detailed information. Therefore, we performed genetic analyses of three patients with obesity using high resolution genome wide SNP array (blood, visceral fat tissue) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses (visceral and subcutaneous fat tissue). Altogether, we identified 31 small Copy Number Variations (losses: 1p31.1, 1p22.2, 1q21.3, 2q34, 2q37.1, 3q28, 6p25.3, 7q...

Japanese 17q12 Deletion Syndrome with Complex Clinical Manifestations
Intern Med. 2024;63(5):687-692. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.1660-23.ABSTRACT17q12 deletion syndrome is a rare chromosomal anomaly with variable phenotypes, caused by the heterozygous deletion of chromosome 17q12. We herein report a 35-year-old Japanese patient with chromosomal 17q12 deletion syndrome identified by de novo deletion of the 1.46 Mb segment at the 17q12 band by genetic analyses. He exhibited a wide range of phenotypes, such as maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) type 5, structural or functional abnormalities of the kidney, liver, and pancreas; facial dysmorphic features, electrolyte disorders; kerato...
