Clinical implications of the molecular biology of prostate cancer: Review article
To understand the term genomic heterogeneity in prostate cancer, we must understand the clonal genomic evolution of cancer, as well as knowing that it is a dynamic and evolutionary phenomenon.

Implications of genetic heterogeneity in cancer [PDF]
DNA sequencing studies have established that many cancers contain tens of thousands of clonal mutations throughout their genomes, which is difficult to reconcile with the very low rate of mutation in normal human cells. This observation provides strong evidence for the mutator phenotype hypothesis, which proposes that a genome‐wide elevation in the ...

Topography-guided custom ablation treatment for treatment of keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive ectatic disorder of the cornea which often presents with fluctuating refraction and high irregular astigmatism. Correcting the vision of these patients is often a challenge because glasses are unable to correct the irregular ...

Further genetic heterogeneity for autosomal dominant human sutural cataracts [PDF]
A unique sutural cataract was observed in a 4-generation German family to be transmitted as an isolated autosomal, dominant trait. Since mutations in the gamma-crystallin encoding CRYG genes have previously been demonstrated to be the most frequent ...

Rejection of immunogenic tumor clones is limited by clonal fraction
Tumors often co-exist with T cells that recognize somatically mutated peptides presented by cancer cells on major histocompatibility complex I (MHC-I). However, it is unknown why the immune system fails to eliminate immune-recognizable neoplasms before ...

Recurrent Glioma With Lineage Conversion From Oligodendroglioma to Astrocytoma in Two Cases
Following the introduction of the molecular classification of gliomas by the WHO in 2016, molecularly-proven lineage conversion during glioma recurrence has never been reported. The reported two cases were initially diagnosed as oligodendroglioma with 1p/

Leukemic Stem Cells: From Leukemic Niche Biology to Treatment Opportunities
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common types of leukemia in adults. While complete remission can be obtained with intensive chemotherapy in young and fit patients, relapse is frequent and prognosis remains poor. Leukemic cells are thought
