Article Abstract
Leukemia is found in approximately 2.3 million people worldwide and causes many deaths all over the world. This research study was conducted to figure out the link of single nucleotide polymorphisms of genes CEBPA (rs34529039), NPM1 (rs753788683), IDH1 (of rs11554137) and RUNX1 (rs13051066) polymorphisms as biomarker potential in leukemia patients. A total of 600 subjects were included in the study which included 300 patients and 300 healthy controls with age and gender matched. After DNA extraction, PCR was carried out to analyze polymorphisms of selected genes. A significant association with increased risk of leukemia by almost twofolds is observed in homozygous mutant (AA) of rs34529039 SNP of gene CEBPA (odds ratio [OR] = 1.71; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.04-2.82; p = 0.03) while highly significant association but with decrease risk of leukemia is observed in heterozygote genotype (CA) of same SNP (OR = 0.36; 95% CI = 0.22-0.59; p = 0.0001). A highly significant association with increased risk of leukemia up to twofolds is observed in heterozygote genotype (AG) of rs753788683 of gene NPM1 (OR 2.10: 95% CI 1.32-3.36 p = 0.0017) while increasing risk by two-fold and show significant association in homozygous mutant (AA) (OR = 1.75; 95% Cl = 1.09-2.79; p = 0.01). Leukemia risk increases by twofold and shows significant association in the homozygous mutant (AA) of rs11554137 (OR = 1.75; 95%Cl = 1.09-2.79; p = 0.01). Leukemia risk increases by twofold and shows significant association in the homozygous mutant (AA) of rs13051066 of gene RUNX1 (OR = 0.63; 95%Cl = 0.39-1.63; p = 0.06).

Background: Identifying molecular alterations specific to advanced lung adenocarcinomas could provide insights into tumour progression and dissemination mechanisms.
Method: We analysed tumour samples, either from locoregional lesions or distant metastases, from patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma from the SAFIR02-Lung trial by targeted sequencing of 45 cancer genes and comparative genomic hybridisation array and compared them to early tumours samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas.
Results: Differences in copy-number alterations frequencies suggest the involvement in tumour progression of LAMB3, TNN/KIAA0040/TNR, KRAS, DAB2, MYC, EPHA3 and VIPR2, and in metastatic dissemination of AREG, ZNF503, PAX8, MMP13, JAM3, and MTURN.

Essential tremor (ET) is a common neurological disease that is characterized by 4-12 Hz kinetic tremors of the upper limbs and high genetic heterogeneity. Although numerous candidate genes and loci have been reported, the etiology of ET remains unclear. A novel ET-related gene was initially identified in a five-generation family via whole-exome sequencing, and other variants were identified in 772 familial ET probands and 640 sporadic individuals via whole-genome sequencing.

Just as Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance laid the foundation for modern genetics, the emergence of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas systems has catalyzed a new era in precision genome engineering. CRISPR/Cas has revolutionized rice ( L.) breeding by enabling precise, transgene-free edits to improve yield, nutrition, and stress tolerance.

The parathyroid hormone receptor type 1 (PTH1R) is a G protein-coupled receptor that mediates the actions of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the regulation of blood calcium levels, as well as PTH-related protein (PTHrP) in the regulation of skeletal development. Severe loss-of-function homozygous mutations in PTH1R are incompatible with life as in Blomstrand's lethal chondrodysplasia, characterized by accelerated growth plate ossification. More recently, homozygous mutations located in the transmembrane helices, extracellular domains and C-tail of the PTH1R were identified in patients with milder conditions characterized by variable degrees of skeletal and mineral abnormalities.
