“…Consequently, the patient underwent laparoscopic right adrenalectomy, confirming the PCC diagnosis.Genetic studies1) Germline PPGL multigene panel: After consent, the patient underwent a panel of 14 susceptibility genes for PPGLs that revealed no pathogenic variants. 2) Somatic genetic analysis for EPAS1 gene found no variants. However, tumoral RNA sequencing unveiled activation of the HIF pathway.ConclusionWe describe a rare case of PCC in a pulmonary transplant recipient, with genetic analyses showing no germline pathogenic variants and no somatic variants in the EPAS1 gene. …”

Determining the Heterotic Groups of Selected Grain Maize (Zea mays L.) Inbred Lines using Morphological and Phenological Traits by Mahnaz Oroojloo, Sara Dezhsetan, Behzad Ahmadi, Mohammadreza Shiri, Ali Moghaddam

“…The yield range of the early group differed from 1.01 to 2.74 tons per hectare, the medium group from 1.18 to 3.09 tons per hectare (except for the medium ripening group containing the line KE77008/1 with a performance of 4.70 tons per hectare), and the late group from 1.21 to 3.28 tons per hectare. In genetic analysis, the low difference between the percentage of phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation of the traits showed less effects of environmental factors on these traits. …”
