CCSST is typified all malignancies of the musculoskeletal system (1–3). CCSST, which by a chromosomal t(12;22)(q13;q12) translocation resulting in a fusion usually affects adolescents and young adults, is commonly associated between the Ewing sarcoma gene (EWSR1) and activating transcription with tendons and aponeuroses and is believed to be derived from factor 1 (ATF1), of which the activity in nontransformed cells is regulated neuroectodermal tissues (4). The tumor cells are typified by the by cyclic AMP. Our aim was to identify critical differentially expressed presence of a balanced t(12;22)(q13;q12) rearrangement: the result is genes in CCSST tumor cells in comparison with other solid tumors a fusion between the Ewing sarcoma gene (EWSR1) and activating affecting children and young adults to better understand signaling path- transcription factor 1 (ATF1), which permits the expression of an ways regulating specific features of the development and progression of EWS-ATF1 oncoprotein (5).

    Patterns of DNA methylation on the human X chromosome and use in analyzing X-chromosome inactivation by Allison Marie Cotton B.Sc., The University of Guelph, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Medical Genetics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January 2012 © Allison Marie Cotton, 2012 Abstract The process of X-chromosome inactivation achieves dosage compensation between mammalian males and females. In females one X chromosome is transcriptionally silenced through a variety of epigenetic modifications including DNA methylation. Most X-linked genes are subject to X-chromosome inactivation and only expressed from the active X chromosome. On the inactive X chromosome, the CpG island promoters of genes subject to X-chromosome inactivation are methylated in their promoter regions, while genes which escape from X- chromosome inactivation have unmethylated CpG island promoters on both the active and inactive X chromosomes. The first objective of this thesis was to determine if the DNA methylation of CpG island promoters could be used to accurately predict X chromosome inactivation status. The second objective was to use DNA methylation to predict X-chromosome inactivation status in a variety of tissues. A comparison of blood, muscle, kidney and neural tissues revealed tissue-specific X-chromosome inactivation, in which 12% of genes escaped from X-chromosome inactivation in some, but not all, tissues. X-linked DNA methylation analysis of placental tissues predicted four times higher escape from X-chromosome inactivation than in any other tissue. Despite the hypomethylation of repetitive elements on both the X chromosome and the autosomes, no changes were detected in the frequency or intensity of placental Cot-1 holes.

Most patients have the same ∼4 Mb interstitial genomic deletion within chromosome 17p11.2. To investigate the molecular bases of the SMS phenotype, we constructed BAC/PAC contigs covering the SMS common deletion interval and its syntenic region on mouse chromosome 11. Comparative genome analysis reveals the absence of all three ∼200-kb SMS-REP low-copy repeats in the mouse and indicates that the evolution of SMS-REPs was accompanied by transposition of adjacent genes. Physical and genetic map comparisons in humans reveal reduced recombination in both sexes. Moreover, by examining the deleted regions in SMS patients with unusual-sized deletions, we refined the minimal Smith-Magenis critical region (SMCR) to an ∼1.1-Mb genomic interval that is syntenic to an ∼1.0-Mb region in the mouse.

The complexity and topography of intra-clonal genetic architecture has major implications for biopsy-based prognosis and for targeted therapy. High depth, next generation sequencing (NGS) efficiently captures the mutational load of individual tumours or biopsies. But, being a snapshot portrait of total DNA, it disguises the fundamental features of sub-clonal variegation of genetic lesions and of clonal phylogeny. Single cell genetic profiling provides a potential resolution to this problem but methods developed to date all have limitations.

    Soft Tissue Sarcoma Classifications Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Summary of SSCRG’s decisions 3. Issue by issue summary of discussions A: List of codes to be included as Soft Tissue Sarcomas B: Full list of codes discussed with decisions C: Sarcomas of neither bone nor soft tissue D: Classifications by other organisations 1. Introduction We live in an age when it is increasingly important to have ‘key facts’ and ‘headline messages’. The national registry for bone and soft tissue sarcoma want to be able to produce high level factsheets for the general public with statements such as ‘There are 2000 soft tissue sarcomas annually in England’ or ‘Survival for soft tissue sarcomas is (eg) 75%’ It is not possible to write factsheets and data briefings like this, without a shared understanding from the SSCRG about which sarcomas we wish to include in our headline statistics. The registry accepts that soft tissue sarcomas are a very complex and heterogeneous group of cancers which do not easily reduce to headline figures. We will still strive to collect all data from cancer registries about anything that is ‘like a sarcoma’. We will also produce focussed data briefings on sites such as dermatofibrosarcomas and Kaposi’s sarcomas – the aim is not to forget any sites we exclude! The majority of soft tissue sarcomas have proved fairly uncontroversial in discussions with individual members of the SSCRG, but there were 7 particular issues it was necessary to make a group decision on. This paper records the decisions made and the rationale behind these decisions. 2. Summary of SSCRG’s decisions: Include all tumours with morphology codes as listed in Appendix A for any cancer site except C40 and C41 (bone).

Abstract The high mortality rate of gastric cancer (GC) is in part due to the absence of initial disclosure of its biomarkers. The recognition of important genes associated in GC is therefore recommended to advance clinical prognosis, diagnosis and and treatment outcomes. The current investigation used the microarray dataset GSE113255 RNA seq data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to diagnose differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Pathway and gene ontology enrichment analyses were performed, and a proteinprotein interaction network, modules, target genes - miRNA regulatory network and target genes - TF regulatory network were constructed and analyzed. Finally, validation of hub genes was performed. The 1008 DEGs identified consisted of 505 up regulated genes and 503 down regulated genes.
