TUESDAY, Nov. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) — About 10 percent of patients with appendix cancer (AC) who undergo testing for hereditary cancer disposition harbor a gene sequence variation associated with cancer susceptibility, according to a study published online Nov. 11 in JAMA Oncology. Andreana N. Holowatyj, Ph.D., from the Vanderbilt…

Introduction Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal cancers (1). Previous studies have shown that aging, environmental and behavioral changes are more closely related to the dramatic increase in the incidence of PC worldwide than genetic factors (2–5). A position paper published by the European Federation…

Cell-free DNA-based next-general sequencing (NGS) yielded low detection rates in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), according to an analysis published in JCO Precision Oncology. Researchers performed NGS of tumor DNA and plasma DNA using the MSK-IMPACT platform in 110 patients with metastatic ccRCC. They explored detection…

Giri, MD, and colleagues found that Black men with prostate cancer exhibited a lower frequency and narrower spectrum…

Although it’s 20 years since the first human genome was sequenced – that is, the entire collection of our DNA – our ability to ‘read’ our own instruction manual is no less astounding. We now know we have around three billion chemical base pairs that provide the code for approximately…

Significant gene-AD associations With the GWAS summary data from the IGAP and eQTL summary data from BRAINEAC, we performed both SMR and HEIDI tests to estimate the gene-AD associations in three human brain regions: frontal cortex, temporal cortex, and hippocampal regions. For the frontal cortex and hippocampal regions, we obtained…

Here, we present a protocol for improving the success of interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization detection on bone marrow smears from multiple myeloma patients. The application of Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization called FISH to genetic risk stratification in multiple myeloma is essential. The critical part of FISH reports is not…

Covalent menin inhibitor BMF-219 showed strong cytotoxic activity as a single agent at similar concentrations across multiple preclinical patient derived (PDX) models ex vivo, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), multiple myeloma (MM), colorectal cancer (CRC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and pancreatic cancer Single agent BMF-219 demonstrated pronounced anti-cancer activity…

Introduction Most cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are diagnosed in the metastatic or locally advanced stage. It is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States,1,2 with a 5-year overall survival (OS) around 10% in this country2 despite years of research and therapeutic development. For those patients…

ABSTRACT Objective: Resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has been a massive obstacle to ICI treatment in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (MUC). Recently, increasing evidence indicates the clinical importance of the association between hypoxia…

An analysis of germline-somatic interactions in breast cancer tumors revealed novel associations relevant to the disease’s progression and treatment resistance. For example, the study presented at the 2021 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) showed that carriers of the BRCA2 mutation had inferior outcomes to treatment with first-line CDK4/6 inhibitors…

Disease Causing Mutations Databases or database for predicting the functional consiquence of the mutation 1 I would like to analyze the functional consequence of the mutation in the protein-coding region of the human genome like in TP53 or EGFR etc. I tried Annovar, VEP, SIFT, polyphen, etc but as far…

In PLOS Genetics, a Belgian team led by investigators at KU Leuven presents a Y-chromosome-specific sequencing strategy for targeting informative Y-chromosome SNPs (Y-SNPs) and short tandem repeats (Y-STRs). The investigators’ CSYseq method “simultaneously identifies slow mutating Y-SNPs as evolution markers and rapidly mutating Y-STRs as patrilineage markers,” they say, noting…

Description Somatic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in cancer genome affect gene expression through various mechanisms depending on their genomic location. In this study, we found that somatic SNVs near splice site are associated with abnormal intronic polyadenylation (IPA) . Here we give examples to show how to detect SNV-associated IPA…

Possible biomarkers for prognosis and clinical outcomes were identified, through the use whole exome sequencing and RNA sequencing, as therapeutic targets for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), according to a recent study. The study, published in Therapeutic Advances in Medical Oncology, also reconfirmed genomic landscapes, major driver mutations, and…

A genomic analysis of lung cancer in people with no history of smoking has found that a majority of these tumors arise from the accumulation of mutations caused by natural processes in the body. The international team of scientists, led by researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), carried out…

Stochastic Amplicon Ligation. DNA samples for oncology sequencing are typically extracted from FFPE tissues and can have average lengths of less than 500 nt due to accumulated chemical damage [18]. We developed the Stochastic Amplicon Ligation (SAL) method to enzymatically concatenate many short DNA molecules together to utilize the long-read…

Introduction Thyroid tumors are the most common malignant tumors of the endocrine system, and their incidence has been increasing in the recent decades. Currently, there are some target drugs that can effectively treat PTC, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) can be used for targeted therapy. In order to make better informed…

Introduction In recent years, the morbidity and mortality of colon cancer have increased rapidly, both being ranked fourth worldwide. Although surgery-based comprehensive treatments improve the prognosis of colon cancer, because of the lack of available means for early diagnosis, the mortality level remains high for patients with advanced-stage cancer. The…
