Short tandem repeat mutations regulate gene expression in colorectal cancer

A novel STR panel for human protein-coding genes To explore STR mutations in CRC, we first annotated STRs in the introns, exons, and promoter sequence of all protein-coding genes in the GRCh38 reference genome (“Methods”). We discarded STR loci for which genotyping was expected to be inaccurate due to genomic…

SMAD4 loss predicts worse overall and distant metastasis-free survival in patients with resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma

Background: In select patients, pancreatic adenocarcinoma remains a local disease, yet there are no validated biomarkers to predict this behavior and who may benefit from aggressive local treatments. This study sought to determine if SMAD4 (mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4) messenger RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) expression is a robust method for predicting…

Expression of “DNA damage response” pathway genes in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: The potential for exploiting synthetic lethality

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL) are two of the most prevalent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma subtypes. Despite advances, treatment resistance and patient relapse remain challenging issues. Our study aimed to scrutinize gene expression distinctions between DLBCL and FL, employing a cohort of 53 DLBCL and 104 FL samples…
