How I treat Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The introduction of agents targeted at specific molecular events is changing the treatment paradigms in a number of malignancies. Historically, we have relied entirely on DNA-interactive, cytotoxic drugs for treating patients with leukemia.

ABSTRACT Spasmodic dysphonia is a laryngeal dystonia that can present as adductor, abductor, or mixed types, with or without tremor. The etiology is not understood fully. Comprehensive evaluation is required to establish the diagnosis. Treatments include voice therapy, medications, botulinum toxin injection, laryngeal surgery, deep brain stimulation ...

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia may develop as a result of rapid transformation of a lymphoblast triggered by repeated bone-remodeling during bone-growth [PDF]
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are two major forms of leukemia that arise from lymphoid cells (LCs). ALL occurs mostly in children and CLL occurs mainly in old people. However, the Philadelphia-chromosome-positive ALL (Ph+-ALL) and the Ph-like ALL occur in both children and adults.

Multi‐ancestry genome‐wide association study of topiramate's effects on heavy alcohol use
Topiramate reduces alcohol consumption, but genetic predictors of treatment response have not been identified. We conducted a GWAS in 8386 individuals from the Million Veteran Program, evaluating genetic variants associated with the change in alcohol consumption before and after initiating topiramate.

Chromosomal Structural Abnormality Diagnosis by Homologous Similarity [PDF]
Pathogenic chromosome abnormalities are very common among the general population. While numerical chromosome abnormalities can be quickly and precisely detected, structural chromosome abnormalities are far more complex and typically require considerable efforts by human experts for identification.

Patients with Philadelphia chromosome-like B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-like or BCR-ABL1 -like BALL) experience high relapse rates and are difficult to cure with conventional chemotherapy.[1][1],[2][2] The Ph-like ALL subtype comprises 15-25% of B ...

Abstract Background Imatinib and dasatinib are tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) increasingly used to treat several diseases in both children and adults at fertile age. We have previously shown that imatinib has adverse effects on developing testis, and imatinib‐treated male patients have been reported to have reduced sperm counts.

Discovery of Phylogenetic Relevant Y-chromosome Variants in 1000 Genomes Project Data [PDF]
Current Y chromosome research is limited in the poor resolution of Y chromosome phylogenetic tree. Entirely sequenced Y chromosomes in numerous human individuals have only recently become available by the advent of next-generation sequencing technology. The 1000 Genomes Project has sequenced Y chromosomes from more than 1000 males.

The impact of achieving complete molecular response (CMR) in Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph(+)) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remains undefined.
