Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Genetic evaluation of juvenile xanthogranuloma: genomic abnormalities are uncommon in solitary lesions, advanced cases may show more complexity
Modern Pathology advance online publication, July 28 2017. doi:10.1038/modpathol.2017.50 Authors: Christian N Paxton, Dennis P O'Malley, Andrew M Bellizzi, Deema Alkapalan, Yuri Fedoriw, Jason L
Article Description
Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a rare histiocytic proliferation primarily affecting infants and young children, characterized by aberrant infiltration of histiocyte-derived cells in the skin, soft tissues and more rarely, visceral organs. Juvenile xanthogranuloma is generally considered to be a benign disorder; most lesions are solitary cutaneous nodules that resolve spontaneously without treatment. However, cases with extracutaneous involvement, multiple lesions, and/or systemic disease often require aggressive therapy. Though molecular studies have provided evidence of clonality in juvenile xanthogranuloma, in support of a neoplastic process, little is known about the genetic profile of juvenile xanthogranuloma. We used molecular inversion probe array technology to evaluate the genomic characteristics (copy number alterations or copy neutral-loss of heterozygosity) of 21 archived cases of juvenile xanthogranuloma (19 solitary, 1 diffuse cutaneous, 1 systemic). Four cases (19%) showed acquired, clonal alterations. Two lesions from a case of diffuse cutaneous juvenile xanthogranuloma showed distinct profiles: JXG-1a contained trisomy 5 and 17 and JXG-1b contained loss of heterozygosity in 5q. The systemic juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG-2) showed multiple genomic alterations. Only two of 19 solitary juvenile xanthogranulomas showed abnormal genomic profiles: JXG-3 showed gains on 1q and 11q and JXG-4 showed a 7.2 Mb loss in 3p. No recurrent abnormalities were observed among these cases. The presence of non-recurrent copy number alterations in a subset of samples implies that copy number changes are unlikely driving pathogenesis in juvenile xanthogranuloma, but may be acquired during disease progression. The presence of genomic abnormalities in more advanced cases (ie, systemic and diffuse cutaneous juvenile xanthogranuloma) supports this notion, particularly as the advanced cases of juvenile xanthogranuloma presented more genomic complexity.
