These novel vaccines were key for prophylactic control of a pandemic caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that emerged abruptly in late 2019/early 2020. This breakthrough capped years of previous research in coronaviruses that included SARS- CoV and MERS-CoV associated with earlier human outbreaks, developments of more efficient formulations to deliver nucleic acids in vivo, and applications of a novel mRNA technology to generate a new generation of better vaccines cost-effectively. Such successful outcomes herald a wide range of advances with this highly adaptable mRNA technology.

This condition primarily affects regions with low human development indexes, notably India, China and Brazil. The mainstay of treatment is often partial or total penectomy, which has a profound impact on patients' emotional and social lives. Due to limited options for early diagnosis, non-surgical treatments, restricted healthcare funding and the negative consequences of mutilating surgeries, penile cancer is often considered a neglected disease. Penile cancer exhibits various histological types, but penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most prevalent, accounting for 95% of cases worldwide. Multiple risk factors are associated with this condition, largely tied to lifestyle behaviors, such as promiscuous sexual behavior, zoophilia, poor hygiene, phototherapy, smoking and obesity. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a significant etiological factor, particularly in squamous cell carcinomas. The prevalence of HPV in penile neoplasia varies widely, and its association with mortality remains uncertain.</p>","PeriodicalId":73975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association of Genetic Technologists","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140051253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this pathway, FA proteins are involved in sensing sites of ICLs, translocating repair enzymes from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, excising the area of damage, and facilitating repair of the fractured DNA. Mutations in these genes lead to Fanconi anemia, a syndrome characterized primarily by pancytopenia but with associated symptoms involving nearly every organ system; the majority of patients present with dermatological symptoms and growth deficits. Additionally, individuals with Fanconi anemia are known to be predisposed individuals to an increased risk of malignancies, particularly acute myeloid dystrophy and myelodysplastic syndrome, but also in the head, neck, esophagus, reproductive organs, brain, skin, liver, and kidneys. In fact, the cytogenetic aberrations seen in those with FA-associated AML differ from those in typical AML.

{"title":"The Discovery of Common Chromosome Aneuploidies with Medical Implications Through Innovative Analysis of Ancient DNA (aDNA).","authors":"Jaime Garcia-Heras","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Objectives: </strong>Two recent studies that re-examined through novel approaches previous shotgun sequencing data from prehistoric/historic Europeans uncovered several autosomal and sex chromosome aneuploidies (Anastasiadou et al., 2024; Rohrlach et al., 2024). These disorders, which are common in contemporary humans, were trisomies 18 and 21, Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY), 47,XYY syndrome, and mosaic Turner syndrome X/XX. These discoveries about prehistoric/historic occurrence of constitutional chromosomal syndromes with high clinical significance in modern medical genetics are an important breakthrough. They contribute to a more comprehensive genetic delineation of past human populations and give impetus to perform more historic/prehistoric studies to discover other contemporary genetic disorders. A molecular profiling of ancient DNA (aDNA) from human remains added to anthropological and archaeological data may also give a broader picture of the social and historical contexts of individuals who were affected by genetic diseases. These advances in the detection of chromosome aneuploidies and previous discoveries of current monogenic syndromes in archaic hominins also highlight the possibility of detecting other genetic diseases of present-day occurrence in our ancestors. As a result, it might be feasible to delineate the evolutionary history of modern genetic diseases, establishing a timeline of their emergence, patterns of mutations, putative mechanisms of selection, and genomic mechanisms involved.</p>","PeriodicalId":73975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association of Genetic Technologists","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142121278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, immunotherapies using chimeric antigen receptors (CAR T-cells) have improved prognosis for patients with B-ALL. Previous CAR T therapies have used CD19 as a target, but loss of this protein through antigen escape may cause relapse with slim chance of remission. For patients facing relapsed/refractory B-ALL, the need for new targets is evident. In this review, we focus on the KMT2A, IKZF1-related, and DUX4r subgroups of B-ALL, highlighting proven and potential CAR T targets. With a focus on genetics, we discuss chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 as a target in mixed lineage rearranged leukemia and the use of proteomic analysis to locate other B-ALL antigenic surface markers, including the targeting of CD72 within a nanobody-based framework. Additionally, we examine the thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor as a target in B-ALL with IKAROS family zinc finger 1 deletion across various subgroups. Following this, we propose the adaptation of CD371 as a CAR T-cell target for relapsed/refractory DUX4r B-ALL in the context of promising results from studies in acute myeloid leukemia. Finally, we provide a brief overview of other relevant therapies, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors and a planned universal CAR T for off-the-shelf use, before concluding with a case study that emphasizes the necessity of novel CAR T targets.</p>","PeriodicalId":73975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association of Genetic Technologists","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142121277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
