TL;DR: A new large antisense noncoding RNA (named ANRIL) is identified within the 403-kb germ-line deletion of the p15/CDKN2B-p16/CD KN2A-p14/ARF locus putatively involved in melanoma-NST syndrome families and in melanomas-prone families with no identified p16/ CDKN2A mutations as well as in somatic tumors.

TL;DR: An approach based on a polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) test performed on amniotic fluid is rapid, safe, and accurate for the prenatal diagnosis of congenital T. gondii infection.

TL;DR: Genomic, cellular, and mouse modelling data are provided demonstrating that the polycomb group gene SUZ12 functions as tumour suppressor in PNS tumours, high-grade gliomas and melanomas by cooperating with mutations in NF1 and it is shown that SUZ 12 loss potentiates the effects of NF1 mutations by amplifying Ras-driven transcription through effects on chromatin.

TL;DR: H hepatitis C virus patients with normal ALT showed weaker histological activity and lower fibrosis scores, and the progression rate of fibrosis was twice as slow as in HCV patients with elevated ALT, which was associated with high alcohol consumption.

TL;DR: In this article, a high-resolution array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was used to characterize microdeletions in 70 unrelated NF1 microdeleted patients, compared to patients with intragenic truncating NF1 mutations and phenotyped in the same standardized way.
