Q8: A 4-year-old boy had bilateral lung cysts and cystic nephroma. A splicing variant was detected in a hereditary cancer NGS panel and tumor biopsy showed another frameshift variant in the same gene at 15%. What function is the gene involved?

[Aiko Otsubo @aiko_otsubo]

Time for a quiz!!

Q7: New B-lymphoblastic leukemia case: Based on genetics what result(s) has a very favorable prognosis?

[Aiko Otsubo @aiko_otsubo]

My postdoc work at CHOP is now published!! Hope this helps patients who are currently undiagnosed and looking for an answer.

[Izumi lab (Kosuke Izumi, MD, PhD) @Izumi_lab]

Izumi lab’s new publication reporting a novel syndrome caused by GTF3C5 variants. Congratulations, @aiko_otsubo

This was one of the very useful talks at the 2023 CGC annual meeting. There will be some changes in nomenclature of FISH and other techniques and they will have OGM nomenclature!!

Are you a myeloma clinician who orders FISH tests? If so, the CGC Plasma Cell Neoplasm Working Group is interested in your feedback! FISH reports can be confusing and we want to learn about your experiences to help optimize cytogenetic reports. Survey: https://t.co/F2nQi8ZQMB
