ABSTRACT Background We describe clinical and biologic characteristics of neuroblastoma in older children, adolescents, and young adults (OCAYA); describe survival outcomes in the post‐immunotherapy era; and identify if there is an age cut‐off that best discriminates outcomes.

ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic inflammatory state, characterized by increased plasma values of inflammatory and angiogenic proteins. Although red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is known to have immunomodulatory effects in other conditions, its potential effects on the inflammatory state in SCD remain largely unknown.

Genetics and Genomics in Sickle Cell Disease in Africa
ABSTRACT Advanced genomic technologies are revolutionizing our ability to understand complex diseases. Large‐scale population studies are needed to realize the potential of using individual genetic information to personalize treatments for better patient outcomes for chronic non‐communicable diseases, such as sickle cell disease (SCD).

The research of the detection of thalassaemia multiple mutations by next-generation sequencing technology [PDF]
地中海贫血又称珠蛋白生成障碍性贫血,早期的病例来自地中海地区,故称为地中海贫血,是世界范围内影响最大的单基因病之一,遵循孟德尔遗传定律。该病是由珠蛋白基因的缺失或点突变所致,根据其变异的肽链可分为α地贫和β地贫。由于其基因缺陷的复杂、多样,使缺乏的珠蛋白链类型、数量、临床症状变异较大。临床上对中、重度地中海贫血无行之有效的治疗方法,给社会、家庭、个人带来了沉重的经济及精神负担。故有效检出地中海贫血患者、进行婚前孕前指导、产前诊断、避免地中海贫血患儿的出生,有着极其重要的社会意义 ...
