First case of AML with rare chromosome translocations: a case report of twins.

ABSTRACT: Leukemia is different from solid tumor by harboring genetic rearrangements that predict prognosis and guide treatment strategy. PML-RARA, RUNX1-RUNX1T1, and KMT2A-rearrangement are common genetic rearrangements that drive the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). By contrast, rare genetic rearrangements may also contribute to leukemogenesis but are less summarized.Here we reported rare fusion genes ZNF717-ZNF37A, ZNF273-DGKA, and ZDHHC2-TTTY15 in a 47-year-old AML-M4 patient with FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) discovered by whole genome sequencing (WGS) using the patient's healthy sibling as a sequencing control.This is, to our knowledge, the first case of AML with fusion gene ZNF717-ZNF37A, ZNF273-DGKA, and ZDHHC2-TTTY15.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

An extremely rare case of adult with first branchial cleft fistula: Case report.

Project description:IntroductionAnomalies of the first branchial cleft are rare and represent 10% of lateral cervical malformations. Very few cases have been described in literature. In our research, we didn't find cases of adults with first branchial cleft fistulas. First branchial cleft fistulas in adults are difficult to diagnosticate, and the surgery of the parotid gland to extract the fistula requires to be precautious.Case presentationThe aim of this work is to present an extremely rare case of a 65 years-old patient with first branchial cleft fistula. Fistula excision surgery completed with superficial parotidectomy were performed. No sign of recurrency were found after 6 months surveillance.DiscussionFirst branchial cleft fistula is hard to diagnosticate, especially with adults. Very few cases of adult male are described in the literature. It is often misdiagnosed with parotid tumours or as otitis with ear drainage.The treatment of First branchial cleft fistula is surgical. A complete resection of the tract is necessary to prevent recurrency. It usually requires a superficial parotidectomy and the fistula tract passes under the parotid gland.ConclusionFirst branchial cleft fistulas are rare, and forms with adults are extremely rare to encounter. Imagery can't always help to diagnosis. Surgery is indicated in the management of this pathology, with preservation of the facial nerve.

Quantitative detection of rare interphase chromosome breaks and translocations by high-throughput imaging.

Project description:We report a method for the sensitive detection of rare chromosome breaks and translocations in interphase cells. HiBA-FISH (High-throughput break-apart FISH) combines high-throughput imaging with the measurement of the spatial separation of FISH probes flanking target genome regions of interest. As proof-of-principle, we apply hiBA-FISH to detect with high sensitivity and specificity rare chromosome breaks and translocations in the anaplastic large cell lymphoma breakpoint regions of NPM1 and ALK. This method complements existing approaches to detect translocations by overcoming the need for precise knowledge of translocation breakpoints and it extends traditional FISH by its quantitative nature.

Case report: Epigastric heteropagus twins and literature review

Project description:Epigastric heteropagus twins are an extremely rare congenital anomaly of conjoined twins. We present a case of epigastric heteropagus twins who were diagnosed via prenatal ultrasound imaging: the fetus (or host) was connected to the abdominal wall of the parasite (the dependent portion), and an omphalocele was present. The male infant was delivered by cesarean section at 35 + 5 weeks gestation. The parasite lacked a head and heart and presented long bones of the limbs. After abdominal computed tomography, omphalocele repair, and parasite removal were surgically performed under general anesthesia. After discharge (follow-up, 3 months), the infant is currently growing well and is healing satisfactorily. Forty-one cases of epigastric heteropagus twins were retrieved from database searches: 38 good postoperative outcomes, 2 perioperative deaths, and 1 termination. The case highlights that even when parasites are massive in size, births can present good outcomes with suitable surgical treatment.

Simultaneous ST-elevation myocardial infarction in monozygotic twins: a case report of entangled twins.

Project description:BackgroundThe development of coronary artery disease (CAD) is strongly influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Monozygotic twins represent a unique population that provides insights into the interaction of genetic, environmental, and social factors and their effects on the development of CAD.Case summaryTwo 54-year-old identical twins presented to an outside hospital with acute chest pain. Twin B developed chest pain after witnessing Twin A in distress from an acute chest pain episode. Electrocardiogram performed on each of them was diagnostic of ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Upon arrival at the angioplasty centre, Twin A was taken for emergency coronary angiography yet his pain subsided on the way to the catheterization lab hence, Twin B was taken for angiography instead. Twin B angiography demonstrated acute occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery and was treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. Twin A coronary angiogram demonstrated 60% ostial first diagonal branch stenosis with a normal distal flow. He was diagnosed with possible coronary vasospasm.ConclusionThis is the first report of a simultaneous presentation of monozygotic twins with ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome. While genetic and environmental contributions to the development of CAD have been described, this case highlights the strong social bond that exists between monozygotic twins. Once CAD is diagnosed in one twin, aggressive risk factor modification and screening should be implemented in the other.

The unusual first sign of presentation of renal cell carcinoma: a rare case report.

Project description:BackgroundRenal cell carcinoma (RCC) usually is characterized by a slow pattern of growth, although with an unpredictable evolution and metastatic potential, favored by its extensive vascularity and related high angioinvasive profile. The most common sites of metastases from kidney cancer are lung, lymph nodes, bone and liver; whereas orbital metastases are very uncommon. In more than 25% of cases, orbital metastases are the first manifestation of a primary tumor of unknown origin. The clinical features of orbital metastases from kidney cancer are non-specific and could divert attention from the real problem.Case descriptionIn this article, we describe the case of a 72-year-old male patient reporting a painful mass on the right orbit, with exophthalmos and ptosis, as the first and unique signs of a previously undetected advanced RCC. Due to the clinical conditions, the patient underwent palliative radiation therapy delivered to the orbital lesion with the scope to relieve pain; subsequently started systemic therapy with pazopanib at the dose of 800 mg daily. Unfortunately, he did not achieve any benefit from systemic therapy, his conditions progressively worsened, and he finally passed away after four months of treatment due to rapid disease progression.ConclusionsDespite its rarity, differential diagnosis of an orbital lesion should always consider the possibility of metastasis from RCC, performing an appropriate radiological evaluation.

Molecular characterization of a rare analphoid supernumerary marker chromosome derived from 7q35???qter: a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Analphoid supernumerary marker chromosomes (aSMC) constitute one of the smallest groups of SMC, and are characterized by a centromeric constriction but no detectable alpha-satellite DNA. These marker chromosomes cannot be properly identified by conventional banding techniques alone, and molecular cytogenetic methods are necessary for a detailed characterization. Analphoid SMC derived from chromosome 7 are extremely rare, with only five cases reported so far. CASE PRESENTATION:In this work we report an aSMC involving the terminal long arm of chromosome 7 in a 10-year-old boy with multiple dysmorphic features and severe development delay. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a mosaic karyotype with the presence of an extra SMC, de novo, in 20% of lymphocytes and 73% of fibroblast cells. Next, we performed FISH analysis with multiple DNA probes and cCGH analysis. This identified the origin of the SMC as an analphoid marker resulting of invdup rearrangement of 7q35-qter region. Affimetrix CytoScan HD array analysis redefined the aSMC as a 15.42 Mb gain at 7q35-q36.3 (minimum tetraplicated region-chr7: 143,594,973-159,119,707; GRCh37/hg19) of maternal origin that encloses 67 OMIM genes, 16 of which associated to disease. Uniparental disomy of chromosome 7 (UPD 7) has been excluded. CONCLUSIONS:We report the first patient with an aSMC(7) derived from the terminal 7q region who has been molecularly and clinically full characterized. The use of SNParray in the characterization of SMC reveals to be a powerful tool, giving information not only about copy number variation but also about loss-of-heterozygosity and parental origin. We conclude that an integrated genome-wide copy number variation analysis, if possible associated to FISH and gene expression studies, could facilitate in the future the difficult task of establishing accurate genotype-phenotype correlations and help to improve genetic counselling.
