Quantification of Circulating Pig-Specific DNA in the Blood of a Xenotransplantation Model

4.4K
In this protocol, porcine specific primers were designed, plasmids-containing porcine specific DNA fragments were constructed, and standard curves for quantitation were established. Using species-specific primers, cpsDNA was quantified by qPCR in pig-to-mouse cell transplantation models and pig-to-monkey artery patch transplantation...

Abbiategrasso Brain Bank Protocol for Collecting, Processing and Characterizing Aging Brains

18.1K
This protocol describes a method to track individual brain-aging trajectories through a brain donation program and proper characterization of brains. Brain donors are involved in a long-term longitudinal study including serial multi-dimensional assessments. The protocol contains a detailed description of brain processing and an accurate diagnostic...

Dried Blood Spot Collection of Health Biomarkers to Maximize Participation in Population Studies

37.1K
Biomarkers are directly-measured biological indicators of disease or health. In population and social sciences, biomarkers need to be easy to obtain, transport, and analyze. Dried Blood Spot (DBS) collection meets this need, can be collected in the field with high response rates and analyzed for a variety of...

A Practical and Novel Method to Extract Genomic DNA from Blood Collection Kits for Plasma Protein Preservation

42.7K
We are describing a new method of isolating genomic DNA from whole blood collected for plasma/serology. After plasma collection, the compacted blood is usually discarded. Our novel method represents a significant improvement over existing methods and makes DNA and plasma available from a single collection, without requesting additional...

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Multiple myeloma and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) are plasma cell disorders.
  • Prostate cancer is a common malignancy in men.
  • Familial clustering of these distinct malignancies is uncommon.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a unique family exhibiting a high prevalence of multiple myeloma, MGUS, and prostate cancer.
  • To investigate potential inherited factors contributing to these cancers within the described family.

Main Methods:

  • Case series description of a multi-generational family.
  • Review of medical histories and diagnoses for affected individuals.
  • Pedigree analysis to trace inheritance patterns.

Main Results:

  • Five cases of multiple myeloma, three cases of MGUS, and five cases of prostate cancer were identified in two generations.
  • The proband had offspring affected by prostate cancer, multiple myeloma, and MGUS.
  • The observed pattern suggests a potential hereditary predisposition.

Conclusions:

  • The co-occurrence of multiple myeloma, MGUS, and prostate cancer in this family warrants further investigation into shared genetic or environmental factors.
  • This family may serve as a model for understanding the genetic basis of these hematologic and oncologic diseases.
