Independent degeneration of W and Y sex chromosomes in frog Rana rugosa
The frog Rana rugosa uniquely possesses two different sex-determining systems of XX/XY and ZZ/ZW, separately in the geographic populations. The sex chromosomes of both types share the same origin at chromosome 7,...

Open AccessPrimary splenic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma manifesting in red pulp
We evaluated six cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) involving the red pulp of the spleen. All had B symptoms and an aggressive clinical course. The lymphoma cells proliferated diffusely and non-coh...

Comparative chromosome map** of sex-linked genes and identification of sex chromosomal rearrangements in the Japanese wrinkled frog (Rana rugosa, Ranidae) with ZW and XY sex chromosome systems
There are regional variations of sex chromosome morphologies in the Japanese wrinkled frog, Rana rugosa (2n = 26): heterogametic ZZ/ZW-type and XX/XY-type sex chromosomes, and two different types of homomorphic s...

Close relation between 14q32/IGH translocations and chromosome 13 abnormalities in multiple myeloma: a high incidence of 11q13/CCND1 and 16q23/MAF
Many B-cell tumors have chromosomal translocations that result from failures of the immunoglobulin (Ig) gene during V(D)J recombination, somatic hypermutation (SHM), and class switch recombination (CSR). Nearl...

A case of acute myeloblastic leukemia with a novel variant of t(8;21)(q22;q22)
We encountered a case of acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), with extramedullary leukemia (EML) and a masked type of the variant translocation t(8;21)(q22;q22). Morphologically, the AML M2 subtype according to ...
