Germline activating TYK2 mutations in pediatric patients with two primary acute lymphoblastic leukemia occurrences
The contribution of genetic predisposing factors to the development of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most frequently diagnosed cancer in childhood, has not been fully elucidated. Children p...

Open AccessThe genetic heterogeneity of colorectal cancer predisposition - guidelines for gene discovery
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a cumulative term applied to a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of neoplasms that occur in the bowel. Based on twin studies, up to 45 % of the CRC cases may involve a h...

Integrated use of minimal residual disease classification and IKZF1 alteration status accurately predicts 79% of relapses in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Response to therapy as determined by minimal residual disease (MRD) is currently used for stratification in treatment protocols for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, the large MRD-based me...

The C terminus of the synovial sarcoma-associated SSX proteins interacts with the LIM homeobox protein LHX4
As a result of the synovial sarcoma-associated t(X;18) translocation, the SS18 gene on chromosome 18 is fused to either one of the three closely related SSX genes on the X chromosome. The SS18 protein is thought ...

Open AccessComplex chromosome 17p rearrangements associated with low-copy repeats in two patients with congenital anomalies
Recent molecular cytogenetic data have shown that the constitution of complex chromosome rearrangements (CCRs) may be more complicated than previously thought. The complicated nature of these rearrangements ch...

The synovial sarcoma associated protein SYT interacts with the acute leukemia associated protein AF10
As a result of the synovial sarcoma associated t(X;18) translocation, the human SYT gene on chromosome 18 is fused to either the SSX1 or the SSX2 gene on the X chromosome. Although preliminary evidence indicates ...

Exclusion of the phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C β3 (PLC β3) gene as candidate for the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) gene
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) is inherited as an autosomal dominant disorder, characterized by hyperplasia and neoplasia in several endocrine organs. The MEN 1 gene, which is most probably a tum...
