The presence of familial translocations was a common finding, thus emphasizing the need for familiar testing for further genetic counselling.

To our knowledge, this is the first case in which a translocation (2;12) is reported in a patient with Turner syndrome and confirmed by conventional cytogenetics, FISH and molecular genetics. Clinical…[Read more]

The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in free-ranging cats on Tokunoshima Island was assessed by testing 125 serum samples using anti-T. gondii IgG indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The overall seropositivity rate was 47.2% (59/125). Seropositivity rates in cats with body weight >2.0 kg (57.4%) were significantly higher than in…[Read more]

Aerodynamic efficiency behind the annual migration of monarch butterflies, the longest among insects, is an unsolved mystery. Monarchs migrate 4000 km at high-altitudes to their overwintering mountains in Central Mexico. The air is thinner at higher altitudes, yielding reduced aerodynamic drag and enhanced range. However, the lift is also expected…[Read more]

As BCCs are commonly detected, a periodic dermatologic examination is recommended. Finally, our results support the addition of genetic screening to the existing criteria for NBCCS diagnosis.Long-chain sphingomyelins (SMs) may play an important role in the stability of myelin sheath underlying physical function. The objective of this study was to…[Read more]
