В статье представлено описание семейного случая миотонической дистрофии Россолимо-Штейнерта-Куршмана-Баттена. Диагноз подтвержден в результате ДНК-диагностики: выявлено увеличенное число копий CTG-повтора гена DMPK, ответственного за развитие миотонической дистрофии. A family case report of Rossolimo-Steinert-Curschmann myotonic dystrophy is presented. An increased number of copies of CTG-repeats of the DMPK gene responsible for the development of MD, i.e., the diagnosis was confirmed by molecular genetic method.

In recent decades, there has been marked progress in understanding the biology of the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood – neuroblastoma (NB), which led to a significant improvement in treatment outcomes due to stratification of patients into risk groups, intensification of treatment of patients with metastatic disease and the presence of unfavorable molecular genetic markers. Survivors who have received multimodal therapies, including chemotherapy, high-dose therapy and autologous peripheral stem-cell transplantation, 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) therapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy have a high risk of developing long-term side effects of treatment (LT SE). The study of the nature and frequency of LT SE after completion of therapy in patients with NB is important to ensure the quality of life and minimize severe health disorders. This article presents a literature review and description of a clinical case report of primary hypothyroidism in a high-risk patient with NB who received multicomponent treatment, including 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine therapy due to the persistence of MIBG-positive foci after the induction chemotherapy.

We present the pathology and molecular genetic analysis of an infant with congenital myotonic dystrophy. The proband/infant, born at 35 weeks' gestational age to a mother with myotonic dystrophy and 750 CTG repeats, was markedly hypotonic and had severe cardiomyopathy. She died after 16 days of life. At autopsy, skeletal and heart muscles were immature and had a decrease in contractile elements. DNA CTG trinucleotide repeat analysis of the proband demonstrated 2,480 repeats in blood and a slightly greater number of repeats in skeletal muscles, viscera, and gray matter. Corresponding to the clinical course and pathology, cardiac tissues displayed somatic mosaicism, with repeats ranging from 2,760 to 3,220.

Autochthonous forests are considered to be valuable genetic resources, and their conservation is incorporated into many national forest programmes. The methods applied so far often do not allow to distinguish between autochthonous and allochthonous stands. Therefore, alternative methods are needed. In this study, we analyse spatial patterns of variation of chloroplast DNA to estimate the extent of the human influence on oak stands in Switzerland.
