Architecture of the chromatin remodeler RSC and insights into its nucleosome engagement. [PDF]
Eukaryotic DNA is packaged into nucleosome arrays, which are repositioned by chromatin remodeling complexes to control DNA accessibility. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae RSC (Remodeling the Structure of Chromatin) complex, a member of the SWI/SNF chromatin ...

Left atrial schwannoma in schwannomatosis: a case report
Background Primary cardiac schwannoma in the left atrium and schwannomatosis are rare diseases. Case presentation We report the case of a 46-year-old asymptomatic man who had tumor resection for parapharyngeal schwannoma at another institute 1 year ago ...

Cerebral cavernous malformations associated to meningioma: High penetrance in a novel family mutated in the PDCD10 gene [PDF]
Multiple familial meningiomas occur in rare genetic syndromes, particularly neurofibromatosis type 2. The association of meningiomas and cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) has been reported in few patients in the medical literature.

Schwannoma of the external auditory canal as a part of schwannomatosis
We experienced a very rare case, which we believe to be sporadic schwannomatosis, in which a 49-year-old female patient presented with conductive hearing loss due to a subcutaneous tumor in the right external auditory canal and the symptoms were ...

Whole-body imaging in schwannomatosis [PDF]
A 23-year-old man with schwannomatosis1 was imaged with whole-body MRI and 18F FDG-PET to assess the extent of disease prior to initiating systemic therapy for new and growing tumors. The patient had undergone multiple prior resections of schwannomas from peripheral nerves. …

MUTATIONS OF THE SMARCB1 GENE IN HUMAN CANCERS
In the recent years, the full exome sequencing helped to reveal a set of mutations in the genes that are not oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes by definition, but play an important role in carcinogenesis and encode proteins involved in chromatin ...

Genotyping Cancer-Associated Genes in Chordoma Identifies Mutations in Oncogenes and Areas of Chromosomal Loss Involving CDKN2A, PTEN, and SMARCB1 [PDF]
The molecular mechanisms underlying chordoma pathogenesis are unknown. We therefore sought to identify novel mutations to better understand chordoma biology and to potentially identify therapeutic targets.

Spatial mapping of immune cell environments in NF2-related schwannomatosis vestibular schwannoma
NF2-related Schwannomatosis (NF2 SWN) is a rare disease characterised by the growth of multiple nervous system neoplasms, including bilateral vestibular schwannoma (VS). VS tumours are characterised by extensive leucocyte infiltration.
