Recurrence and metastasis are the major lethal causes of prostate cancer. It is urgent to find out the mechanisms and key factors governing prostate cancer progression and metastasis for developing new therapeutic strategies. Asparaginyl endopeptidase (AEP) overexpression has been found in a number of solid tumors. In prostate cancer, AEP has also been shown to exhibit a vesicular staining pattern...
To better understand the diversity and phylogeny of Lepidoptera, the complete mitochondrial genome of Choristoneura longicellana (=Hoshinoa longicellana) was determined. It is a typical circular duplex molecule with 15,759bp in length, containing the standard metazoan set of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and an A+T-rich region. All of the inferred tRNA secondary...
We present a 19-year-old male with laxity of skin and joints, sparse scalp hair, facial dysmorphism, epilepsy, multiple exostoses, scoliosis, gastroesophageal reflux, cardiovascular defects, and an 8q23.3–q24.22 deletion detected by array comparative genomic hybridization. The patient was previously misdiagnosed as having Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. However, his clinical findings are in fact correlated...
We present an 8-year-old girl with cleidocranial dysplasia, psychomotor developmental delay, poor wound healing and a 6p21.2–p12.3 deletion detected by aCGH. The patient was previously found to have a normal karyotype on conventional cytogenetic analysis and no RUNX2 mutation on sequence analysis. We discuss the genotype–phenotype correlation and the consequence of haploinsufficiency of CUL7, VEGFA,...
Autism is a heterogeneous childhood neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterised by deficits in verbal communication, impaired social interactions, restricted interests and repetitive behaviours. Using an Illumina HumanCNV370-Quad BeadChip, we identified two Han Chinese individuals with autism and large duplications (~1.6Mb and ~2.4Mb) disrupting the same CNTN4 gene. CNTN4 encodes a protein that...
