Five Novel Mutations in F13B Gene Resulting in Mild FXIII Deficiency
2008
FXIII deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder affecting approximately 1 out of 1–3 million inhabitants. The disease is characterized by bleeding, impaired wound repair and spontaneous abortions in females. Extracellular FXIII molecule has a tetramer structure composing of two catalytic A-subunits and two B-subunits that act as a carrier molecule. Based on genotype there are two types of FXIII deficiency: A-subunit deficiency (XIIIA) when mutations affect F13A gene and much rarely B-subunit deficiency (XIIIB) when mutations affect F13B gene. Both types result in absence of FXIII catalytical activity in plasma.
Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Profiling in Early Stage I Lung Adenocarcinoma Reveals Predictive Aberrant Methylation in the Promoter Region of the Long…
2020
Introduction: Surgical procedure is the treatment of choice in early stage I lung adenocarcinoma. However, a considerable number of patients experience recurrence within the first 2 years after complete resection. Suitable prognostic biomarkers that identify patients at high risk of recurrence (who may probably benefit from adjuvant treatment) are still not available. This study aimed at identifying methylation markers for early recurrence that may become important tools for the development of new treatment modalities. Methods: Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling was performed on 30 stage I lung adenocarcinomas, comparing 14 patients with early metastatic recurrence with 16 patients with …
