Androgen Receptor Gene• AIS results from mutations in the androgen receptor gene, located on the long arm of the X chromosome (Xq11‐q12).
• The AR gene provides instructions to make the protein called androgen receptor, which allows cells to respond to androgens, such as
d di l ltestosterone, and directs male sexual development.A d l l h i h d d i• Androgens also regulate hair growth and sex drive

How do they look? I t ti l N bl t P th l Cl ifi tiInternational Neuroblastoma Pathology Classification
(INPC ‐ Shimada system)• Four categories are discriminated according to the degree of
differentiation[ganglionic cells 'organoid' maturation with the development[ganglionic cells, organoid maturation with the development of a Schwann cell stroma, and co‐existence of clones of different maturity or of distinct aggressiveness]:
Neuroblastoma (Schwannian stroma‐poor) (undifferentiated, poorly differentiated, dfferentiating)Ganglioneuroblastoma intermixed (Schwannian stroma‐rich)Ganglioneuroblastoma nodular g(composite Schwannian stroma‐rich/and stroma‐poor)Ganglioneuroma (Schwannian stroma‐dominant) (maturing mature)(maturing, mature)
Neuroblastoma (poor diff), Neuroblastoma (differ), Neuroblastoma (undiff),
Ganglioneuroma: Ganglion cells+ schwann cell)
Ganglioneuroblastoma: i t i d)

• Favourable/unfavourable histology– Age– Age– Mitosis/karryorhhexis index (MKI)
• Low: <100/5000 cells/• Intermediate: 100‐200/5000 cells• High: >200/5000 cells
DNA l id (FISH)– DNA ploidy (FISH)– MYCN amplification status
Why bother? treatmentWhy bother?...treatment
i h f• In European countries , the treatment of neuroblastoma patients depends on – age at diagnosis (below or over 1 year of age), – extent of the disease (stage) g– a genetic parameter, i.e. the amplification of the MYCN oncogene
• In United States and Australia, DNA Index of the tumour cells and histopathology (INPC)the tumour cells and histopathology (INPC) are also included in therapy stratification

The Wrong RightI screened the slide back and forthAs I peeked through the microscopeA furious looking cell stared at meEureka! I exclaimed with pride and gleep g‘Carcinoma’ was my undoubted decreeMy adamant colleague refused to agreeHe made a mockery of my grey cell abilityHe made a mockery of my grey cell abilityAs he dismissed my verdict with a tinge of hostility‘Tis just a inflammatory cell, buddyAs benign as a dead flea!As benign as a dead flea!My expertise doubted, my self‐esteem trampledA severe blow to my medical arroganceI k i h llI took it up as a challengeMy insult I needed to avengeHow can “I” be proven erroneous?Both of us sought the counsel of Big BossWhose eyes can swoop on a cell like a hawkI prayed my belligerent colleague be proven wrongp y y g g p gAnd my joy knew no bounds“It is malignancy” he assertively pronounced
My battered ego appeasedOut of the hospital stormed an egotistEcstatic at being proven a whizI deserved to treat myself to a drinkThree cheers for me –An adept pathologist!On my way I glanced at the lady, frail and oldAwaiting her young son’s report with hopeI did not to notice her, of coursed d o o o ce e , o cou seCoz I wasn’t going to be the one to give her the newsThat her young son had only a few tomorrowsI sat in my car and pondered where to party that eveningI sat in my car and pondered where to party that eveningBut something gnawed at my heart; an intense achingHot Tears poured down my cheeks sans warningUndid the façade I was sportingUndid the façade I was sportingThe wee bit of a human hidden in me startled my beingLate into the sleepless night I had a dream
d h d f lBig Boss admonished me, yet on my face I saw a gleamA single streak of the whitener fluid he drewTo erase my reporting and write one anewDo early morning dreams really come true?
