Decreased T-cell receptor excision circles in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
PURPOSE The T cell repertoire in patients with advanced cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) is significantly contracted despite the presence of relatively normal absolute numbers of T cells. We propose that many normal T cells were being lost in patients with CTCL, with the remaining normal T cells expanding clonally to fill the T cell compartment. T-cell receptor excision circles (TREC) form as a...
متن کاملThe Importance of Examining Congenital Hypothyroidism in Connection with Congenital Heart Disease: Letter to Editor
Dear Editor-in-Chief: I read and enjoyed your stylish article, "Frequency of Congenital Cardiac Malformations in Neonates with Congenital Hypothyroidism", in relation to heart disease with hypothyroidism. As we know, one of the most commonly associated congenital hypothyroidism disorders is congenital heart disease, which has a significant effect on the recovery of pat...
متن کاملT cell receptor gene deletion circles identify recent thymic emigrants in the peripheral T cell pool.
Progenitor cells undergo T cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangements during their intrathymic differentiation to become T cells. Rearrangements of the variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) segments of the TCR genes result in deletion of the intervening chromosomal DNA and the formation of circular episomes as a byproduct. Detection of these extrachromosomal excision circles in T cells loca...
متن کاملLymphocyte toxicity and T cell receptor excision circles in workers exposed to benzene.
We have previously reported that benzene decreases peripheral white blood cell and platelet counts and specifically lowers subsets of several blood cell types, including CD4+-T cells, B cells, NK cells, and granulocytes. Diminished thymus function has been implicated as a mechanism for CD4+-T cell loss in other conditions such as AIDS by assays of T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs), a mar...
متن کاملA better deal for newborns with congenital heart disease.
A better deal for newborns with congenital heart disease Despite the great strides made in management of heart diseases in children during the last 25 years, these still account for more deaths in infancy than all other congenital anomalies put together.1'2 Furthermore in population studies on necropsy, it has repeatedly been shown that of deaths certified as due to congenital heart disease, ab...
