Up, Down, and All Around: Diagnosis and Treatment of Novel STAT3 Variant
نویسندگان
چکیده
The number of identified monogenic causes of childhood-onset autoimmunity due to nodal and extranodal lymphoproliferation has increased. These pathogenic genetic variants provide the potential for pathway-specific treatment. Novel variants also require pathway-specific verification. In this report, we describe a 14-year-old patient with a novel variant in STAT3. We report clinical and laboratory findings that support STAT3 p.G419R as a novel pathogenic STAT3 gain-of-function variant.

Bladder cancer most commonly exists as an epithelial tumor in which around 90% of cases are transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) with a papillary appearance. The world health organization (WHO) classification defines new histological and molecular variants of urothelial carcinoma in 2004. One of them is plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC). Less than 100 cases have been reported in the literatu...

Background & Aims: Allergic diseases have increased in the last decade worldwide and researchers have been trying to introduce new strategies and drugs to treat these types of diseases. Nicotine shows anti-inflammatory properties and the studies have revealed that it can reduce the inflammation and the allergic responses. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a multifunctional protein kin...

Lymphomas are solid tumors of immune system and Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) is the most prevalent lymphomas; with wide ranges of histological and clinical features, it is so difficult to identify them. Herein, various bioinformatics tools (such as gene differential expressions, epigenetics and protein analysis) employed to find new treatment approach for NHL based on gene expression variation b...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Splice Site Mutation in RUNX2 Gene in a Family with Rare Autosomal Dominant Cleidocranial Dysplasia
Introduction: Pathogenic variants of RUNX2, a gene that encodes an osteoblast-specific transcription factor, have been shown as the cause of CCD, which is a rare hereditary skeletal and dental disorder with dominant mode of inheritance and a broad range of clinical variability. Due to the relative lack of clinical complications resulting in CCD, the medical diagnosis of this disorder is challen...

Background and aim: Aberrant activation of diverse intracellular signaling pathways involved in differentiation, cell growth, apoptosis. These pathways include known oncogenic pathways such as Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway. The JAK/STAT signaling pathway plays an important role in many cellular functions. This pathway can be activated by variou...
