Pathogenic Germline PALB2 and RAD50 Variants in Patients With Relapsed Ewing Sarcoma

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Approximately 10% of patients with Ewing sarcoma (EwS) have pathogenic germline variants. Here, we report two cases: first, a novel germline pathogenic variant in partner and localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) in a patient with a late EwS relapse. Its impact on homologous recombination is demonstrated, and breast cancer risk is discussed.

Effect of Fetal Sex on Maternal and Obstetric Outcomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2017
Fetal sex plays an important role in modifying the course and complications related to pregnancy and may also have an impact on maternal health and well-being both during and after pregnancy.

Immune responses at the maternal-fetal interface

open access: yesScience immunology, 2019
The placenta promotes tolerance of the semiallogeneic fetus while protecting against vertical transmission of infections. Pregnancy poses an immunological challenge because a genetically distinct (nonself) fetus must be supported within the pregnant ...

Liquid biopsy epigenetics: establishing a molecular profile based on cell‐free DNA

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) fragments in plasma from cancer patients carry epigenetic signatures reflecting their cells of origin. These epigenetic features include DNA methylation, nucleosome modifications, and variations in fragmentation. This review describes the biological properties of each feature and explores optimal strategies for harnessing cfDNA ...

Maternal and Perinatal Outcomes in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Undergoing Artificial Frozen-Thawed Embryo Transfer Cycles: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesAdvanced Biomedical Research
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a worldwide endocrine disorder of reproductive-aged women. In addition to infertility, PCOS may lead to unfavorable maternal and prenatal outcomes in assisted reproductive technology cycles.

Metformin promotes mitochondrial integrity through AMPK‐signaling in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Metformin mediates mitochondrial quality control in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) fibroblasts carrying mtDNA mutations. At therapeutic levels, metformin activates AMPK signaling to restore mitochondrial dynamics by promoting fusion and restraining fission, while preserving mitochondrial mass, enhancing autophagy/mitophagy and biogenesis ...

Inheritance of Solanum chloroplast genomic DNA in interspecific hybrids

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
The chloroplast genomic information was obtained from three wild Solanum and four hybrids by chloroplast genome sequencing. The chloroplast genomes of the seven samples comprise of a circular structure and sizes from 155,581 to 155,612 bp and composed of

Maternal phenylketonuria [PDF]

open access: yesOrvosi Hetilap, 2013
Elevated maternal phenylalanine levels during pregnancy are teratogenic, and may result in embryo-foetopathy, which could lead to stillbirth, significant psychomotor handicaps and birth defects. This foetal damage is known as maternal phenylketonuria.

dUTPase is essential in zebrafish development and possesses several single‐nucleotide variants with pronounced structural and functional consequences

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
dUTPases are involved in balancing the appropriate nucleotide pools. We showed that dUTPase is essential for normal development in zebrafish. The different zebrafish genomes contain several single‐nucleotide variations (SNPs) of the dut gene. One of the dUTPase variants displayed drastically lower protein stability and catalytic efficiency as compared ...

Shoulder dystocia by severity in families: A nationwide population study

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica
Introduction Previous studies have established a history of shoulder dystocia as an important risk factor for shoulder dystocia, but studies on shoulder dystocia by severity are scarce.
