46,XX male disorders of sex development are rare. Approximately 80% of cases of testicular tissue differentiation may be due to translocation of SRY to the X chromosome or an autosome. SRY-negative 46,XX males sh...
Lung cancer is a high-incidence cancer, and it is also the most common cause of cancer death worldwide. 80–85% of lung cancer cases can be classified as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Several predisposing factors for diabetes mellitus have been identified, including cluster determinant 36 (CD36) receptor expression. We aimed to determine the effects of CD36 gene polymorphisms and hypermethylat...
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a malignant tumor, which poses a serious threat to human health. Histone 3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) is a post-translational modification involved in regulating...
There are limited information available related to neonatal characteristics of RASopathies, a group of autosomal dominant syndromes with considerable phenotypic overlap.
Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most common endocrine malignancy worldwide. The incidence of TC is high and increasing worldwide due to continuous improvements in diagnostic technology. Therefore, identifying accur...
This study was to report a novel CREBBP mutation and phenotype in a child with Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome.
PCDH19-related epilepsy is a rare X-linked type of epilepsy caused by genomic variants of the Protocadherin 19 (PCDH19) gene. The clinical characteristics of PCDH19-related epilepsy are epileptic and non-epilepti...
