Journal ArticleDOI

Combined restriction landmark genomic scanning and virtual genome scans identify a novel human homeobox gene, ALX3, that is hypermethylated in neuroblastoma.

TL;DR: A novel informatics tool is developed that makes it possible to predict automatically the sequence of fragments in RLGS patterns by matching to the human genome sequence, useful for the identification of genomic CpG island–related methylation changes or deletions in cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurofibromatosis 1: A Novel NF1 Mutation in an 11-Year-Old Girl With a Giant Cell Granuloma

TL;DR: An 11-year-old girl who presented with a painless unilateral enlargement of the nasal bridge was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis 1 and a novel splice mutation (A4268G) was uncovered, affecting her patient as well as her mother and brother.

Expanding the clinical phenotype of individuals with a 3-bp in-frame deletion of the NF1 gene (c.2970_2972del): an update of genotype-phenotype correlation

TL;DR: A correction has been published to this article as discussed by the authors, and the PDF and HTML have been updated accordingly to reflect the correction. But the content of this article is not changed in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct sequences on 11q13.5 and 11q23-24 are frequently coamplified with MLL in complexly organized 11q amplicons in AML/MDS patients.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that 11q amplicons in AML/MDS patients display a complex organization and have provided evidence for coamplification of two additional regions on the long arm of chromosome 11 that may harbor candidate target genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unique mutational profile associated with a loss of TDG expression in the rectal cancer of a patient with a constitutional PMS2 deficiency

TL;DR: 1st in vivo evidence that TDG acts against deleterious 5-methylcytosine deamination is found, and a somatic TDG mutation was found associated with TDG expression loss in the tumor.
