Background The incidence of Y chromosome microdeletions varies among men with infertility across regions and ethnicities worldwide. However, comprehensive epidemiological studies on Y chromosome microdeletions in Chinese men with infertility are lacking.

Chromosomal Deletions in Myelodysplasia
There are two major classes of genes implicated in human tumorigenesis, the oncogenes and the tumour suppressor genes. In haematological malignancies most emphasis has been placed upon the recurring translocations in which the juxtaposition of two gene sequences has resulted in the activation of an oncogene.

Deletions of the derivative chromosome 9 occur at the time of the Philadelphia translocation and provide a powerful and independent prognostic indicator in chronic myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by formation of the BCR-ABL fusion gene, usually as a consequence of the Philadelphia (Ph) translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22.

Exome-First Approach in Fetal Akinesia Reveals Chromosome 1p36 Deletion Syndrome
Background. Fetal akinesia refers to a broad spectrum of disorders with reduced or absent fetal movements. There is no established approach for prenatal diagnosis of the cause of fetal akinesia.

A novel splice variant of the DNA-PKcs gene is associated with clinical and cellular radiosensivity in a patient with xeroderma pigmentosum [PDF]
Background: Radiotherapy-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are critical cytotoxic lesions. Inherited defects in DNA DSB repair pathways lead to hypersensitivity to ionising radiation, immunodeficiency and increased cancer incidence.

InPhaDel: integrative shotgun and proximity-ligation sequencing to phase deletions with single nucleotide polymorphisms. [PDF]
Phasing of single nucleotide (SNV), and structural variations into chromosome-wide haplotypes in humans has been challenging, and required either trio sequencing or restricting phasing to population-based haplotypes.

Genetic Requirements for Intra-Chromosomal Deletions [PDF]
Chromosomal deletions are one of the most dangerous types of DNA damage and often arise as a result of inappropriately repaired DNA double strand breaks (DSB).
