Recently, a novel pathogenic variant in Annexin A1 protein (c.4G > A, p.Ala2Thr) has been identified in an Iranian consanguineous family with autosomal recessive parkinsonism. The deficiencies of ANXA1 could lead to extracellular SNCA accumulation, defects in intracellular signaling pathways and synaptic plasticity causing parkinsonism. The aim of this study was to identify rare ANXA1 variants in 95 early-onset PD patients from South Italy. Sequencing analysis of ANXA1 gene revealed only 2 synonymous variants in PD patients (rs1050305, rs149033255). Therefore, we conclude that the recently published ANXA1 mutation is not a common cause of EOPD in Southern Italy.

Colon cancer, a prevalent malignancy, is subject to intricate immune modulation, which substantially affects both treatment efficacy and prognostic outcomes. Furthermore, colon cancer is highly heterogeneous, and our comprehensive understanding of its immune microenvironment has not yet been fully realized. There is still ample opportunity for in-depth investigation into the composition and interactions of immune cells within colon cancer, as well as their implications for disease prognosis.

Despite differences in tumor genotype, both entities converge on a common histologically aggressive phenotype, and the basis for this progression is unknown. Glioma associated macrophages (GAM) have been implicated in this process, however GAMs are ontologically and transcriptionally diverse, rendering isolation of pathogenic subpopulations challenging.

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare, chronic lymphoid leukemia characterized by circulating lymphocytes with pale, hair-like cytoplasmic projections, pancytopenia, marked monocytopenia, and splenomegaly. Classic HCL displays distinct morphological, immunophenotypical, and genetic features. Classic HCL cells exhibit central nuclei, abundant cytoplasm with hair-like projections, and expression of CD20, CD22, CD11c, CD103, CD25, CD123, TBX21, annexin A1 (ANXA1), FMC7, CD200, and weak cyclin D1 (CCND1).

Upper aerodigestive squamous cell carcinoma (UASCC) is an aggressive and lethal neoplasm, with its early neoplastic transformation mechanisms remaining poorly understood. Here, we characterize over 25 genetically-defined organoid models derived from murine and human oral/esophageal tissues harboring key driver mutations. Double knockout of and induced morphological dysplasia, hyperproliferation, loss of squamous differentiation, and tumorigenicity, which were further exacerbated by additional driver mutations (e.
