Two separate blind tests involving a total of 6 doses were carried out; 4 out of 6 dose estimates were within the 95% confidence limits (95% CL) with the other 2 just outside.

Although dose estimates for the pre-RT patient samples were found to be significantly higher than the mean value for the healthy donors and were also significantly higher than those obtained using DCA, all these pre-treatment patients fell into the same category as those who may have received a low dose (&lt;1 Gy) and do not require immediate medical care during emergency triage.

During the transatlantic BALANCE project, an exposure similar to a Hiroshima-like device at a distance of 1.5 km from the epicenter was simulated, and biological dosimetry based on dicentric chromosomes was performed to evaluate the participants ability to discover unknown doses and to test the influence of differences in neutron spectra. In a first step, calibration curves were established by irradiating blood samples with 5 doses in the range of 0-4 Gy at two different facilities in Germany (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt [PTB]) and the USA (the Columbia IND Neutron Facility [CINF]). The samples were sent to eight participating laboratories from the RENEB network and dicentric chromosomes were scored by each participant. Next, blood samples were irradiated with 4 blind doses in each of the two facilities and sent to the participants to provide dose estimates based on the established calibration curves.

It is easily transmitted to the next generation without being repaired by recombination, even if a major genomic structural alteration occurs.

The Y chromosome exhibits genomic structural differences among different ethnic groups and individuals. The Y chromosome was previously thought to affect only male-specific phenotypes, but recent studies have revealed associations between the Y chromosomes and phenotypes common to both males and females, such as certain types of cancer and neuropsychiatric disorders. This evidence was discovered with the finding of the mosaic loss of the Y chromosome in somatic cells. This phenomenon is also affected by environmental factors, such as smoking and aging. In the past, functional analysis of the Y chromosome has been elucidated by assessing the function of Y chromosome-specific genes and the association between Y chromosome haplogroups and human phenotypes. These studies are currently being conducted intensively. Additionally, the recent advance of large-scale genome cohort studies has increased the amount of Y chromosome genomic information available for analysis, making it possible to conduct more precise studies of the relationship between genome structures and phenotypes. In this review, we will introduce recent analyses using large-scale genome cohort data and previously reported association studies between Y chromosome haplogroups and human phenotypes, such as male infertility, cancer, cardiovascular system traits, and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Most of the reported cases involving trisomy 2p include additional copy number variants (CNVs) in other regions of the genome and are usually small in size. Little is known about the clinical outcomes of large duplications of chr2p as the sole cytogenetic abnormality. In this study, 193 samples at the Greenwood Genetic Center (GGC) with CNVs involving chr2p were evaluated, out of which 86 had chr2p duplications. Among them, 8 patients were identified with large chr2p duplications ranging in size from 9.3 Mb to 89 Mb, and no deletions or duplications involving other chromosomes were identified in those patients. These duplications were associated with inverted duplication, tandem duplication, and duplication as the result of translocation, with no additional CNVs identified by microarray analysis. Confirmation by conventional cytogenetics was performed in 7 of the 8 patients, and the translocations were confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Interestingly, 1 patient was found to have mosaic complete trisomy 2p as the result of an unbalanced de novo (X;2) chromosomal translocation. X-inactivation was skewed toward the derivative X chromosome, yet it did not appear to extend into the chromosome 2 material. Various shared clinical manifestations were observed in the individuals in this study, including developmental delay, hemifacial hypoplasia, cleft palate, and short stature, and they also have distinct features such as hypotonia, cerebellar hypogenesis, and corpus callosum agenesis, which might result from a gene dosage effect of the duplication. In conclusion, single-event large chr2p duplications can result from different mechanisms, including inverted or tandem duplications within chromosome 2, or translocations involving chromosome 2 and other chromosomes.

Young (2 months) and old (24 months) female mice were irradiated with 4 Gy X-rays, total RNA was isolated from blood 24 hours later and subjected to whole-genome microarray analysis. Dose reconstruction analyses using a gene signature trained on gene expression data from irradiated young male mice showed accurate reconstruction of 0 or 4 Gy doses with root mean square error of ±0.75 Gy (R2 = 0.90) in young female mice. Although dose reconstruction for irradiated old female mice was less accurate than young female mice, the deviation from the actual radiation dose was not statistically significant. Pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed that after irradiation, apoptosis-related functions were overrepresented, whereas functions related to quantities of various immune cell subtypes were underrepresented, among differentially expressed genes from young female mice, but not older animals. Furthermore, young mice significantly upregulated genes involved in phagocytosis, a process that eliminates apoptotic cells and preserves tissue homeostasis. Both functions were also overrepresented in young, but not old, male mice following 4 Gy X-irradiation. Lastly, functions associated with neutrophil activation that is essential for killing invading pathogens and regulating the inflammatory response were predicted to be uniquely enriched in young but not old female mice.

The formation of life-threatening acute radiation syndrome (ARS), in particular after the deployment of a nuclear weapon or an attack on a nuclear power station, must be considered realistic.

As a deterministic effect, the severity of the disease dictates the clinical outcome. Hence, predicting ARS severity via biodosimetry or alternative approaches appears straightforward. Because the disease occurs delayed, therapy starting as early as possible has the most significant benefit. A clinically relevant diagnosis should be carried out within the diagnostic time window of about 3 days after exposure. Biodosimetry assays providing retrospective dose estimations within this time frame will support medical management decision-making. However, how closely can dose estimates be associated with the later developing ARS severity degrees when considering dose as one among other determinants of radiation exposure and cell death? From a clinical/triage point of view, ARS severity degrees can be further aggregated into unexposed, weakly diseased (no acute health effects expected), and strongly diseased patient groups, with the latter requiring hospitalization as well as an early and intensive treatment.
