Article Abstract
Background/aim: Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is an aggressive bile duct cancer with a poor prognosis (10-40% 5-year survival after resection), that is mostly found in Thailand and has limited prognostic models. Copy neutral loss of heterozygosity (cnLOH) in various cancers affects their progression leading to poorer overall survival. This study aimed to explore cnLOH patterns in individual pCCA patients in order to develop a predictive model for prognostic biomarkers.
Materials And Methods: DNA was extracted from 14 frozen tissues and chromosome microarray (CMA) was performed to analyze cnLOH.
Results: Analysis of cnLOH revealed a median of 14 events per sample. The most frequent cnLOH was observed on chromosome 1q, followed by high occurrences on chromosomes 2, 3p, 5q, 6q, 7q, 11q, and 12q. Importantly, we identified several specific cnLOH regions (2p23.2, 2p23.3, and 6p11.1) where alterations were significantly associated with decreased overall survival (<0.05).
Conclusion: These results provide evidence that cnLOH events may contribute to disease progression and influence overall survival in patients with pCCA, indicating a potential role in the underlying molecular mechanisms of this malignancy.

Unlabelled: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a very common human fungal infection. Most are successfully treated with antifungal drugs, yet ~8% lead to recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC). Vaginal and rectal populations have been previously found to be closely related in RVVC.

Coagulation factor XII has been identified as a potential drug target that could prevent thrombosis without increasing the risk of bleeding. However, human data to support the development of factor XII-directed therapeutics are lacking. To assess the role of factor XII in venous thromboembolism, we examine genetic variation in the coding region of the F12 locus across 703,745 participants in the UK Biobank and NIH All of Us biorepositories.

Background: Danon disease is an X-linked disorder caused by variants in the lysosome-associated membrane protein-2 () gene located on Xq24. Due to its inheritance in an X-chromosome dominant manner, males typically experience more severe manifestations than females.
Method: The whole exome sequencing was conducted on a cohort of 218 children diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; four children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy carrying the variants were diagnosed at our centre.

Background: Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a complicated genetic disorder demonstrating a variety of clinical phenotypes. Using molecular cytogenetics approaches to detect the deletions of the paternal 15q11-q13 region and maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 15 plays an important role in the prenatal diagnosis of PWS.
Case Presentation: A pregnant woman with advanced maternal age underwent amniocentesis.

: Most of the research on the role of the gene in breast cancer is focused on monoallelic germline alterations and loss of heterozygosity in tumors. The aim of this study was to identify the characteristic transcriptomic pattern of monoallelic somatic inactivation and estimate its correlation with event-free breast cancer survival. : We conducted global transcriptome sequencing of breast cancer tissue samples to identify differentially expressed genes and signaling pathways associated with monoallelic somatic inactivation.
