TL;DR: A relatively small set of miRNAs, many of which are ubiquitously expressed, account for most of the differences in miRNA profiles between cell lineages and tissues.

TL;DR: A case of VL in a German infant, who never had been to a VL-endemic area, is described, most likely, the parasite was congenitally transmitted from the asymptomatic mother to her child.

TL;DR: Investigations including dopamine-positron emission tomography demonstrated bilateral adrenal tumours, a further right-sided paravertebral tumour as well as bilateral cervical glomus tumours and genetic testing revealed a germline mutation in the succinate dehydrogenase subunit D gene.

TL;DR: A case of VL is described in a German infant who never had been to a VL-endemic area and who had a 4-week history of intermittent fever recurrent upper respiratory tract infections and failure to thrive.

TL;DR: The aims in this study are to collect and catalogue archived paediatric ALL and non-ALL control DNA samples from centres around Europe; to expand the collected stocks by whole genome amplification (WGA); and to determine the combination of immune response gene-related SNPs in paediatricall patients while piloting a high-throughput protocol for determining patterns of single nucleotide polymorphisms in multiple genes.
