Limits of Dideoxysequencing in the Detection of Somatic Mutations in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Detection of mutations in cancer is particularly important in terms of proper treatment and targeted therapy. The aim of this study was the comparison of two methods: allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) and dideoxysequencing applied for the identification of ...

The paradox of cancer genes in non-malignant conditions: implications for precision medicine. [PDF]
Next-generation sequencing has enabled patient selection for targeted drugs, some of which have shown remarkable efficacy in cancers that have the cognate molecular signatures.

RAF inhibitors transactivate RAF dimers and ERK signaling in cells with wild-type BRAF
Tumours with mutant BRAF are dependent on the RAF–MEK–ERK signalling pathway for their growth. We found that ATP-competitive RAF inhibitors inhibit ERK signalling in cells with mutant BRAF, but unexpectedly enhance signalling in cells with wild-type BRAF.

ABSTRACT The epidemiology of myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDS) is challenging to define due to inconsistent reporting, complex diagnostic procedures, and evolving diagnostic criteria. Using the National MDS Natural History Study—a prospective cohort with centrally adjudicated histopathology and genetic variant review—we characterized the ...

SLPI as a dedifferentiation biomarker in BRAFV600E-mutant papillary thyroid cancer
The BRAFV600E mutation drives papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) progression and therapy resistance, yet its downstream effectors remain incompletely characterized.

Optimizing Diagnostic Accuracy of Clinical Red Flags in RASopathies
ABSTRACT RASopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by pathogenic variants in the RAS‐mitogen‐activated protein kinase (RAS–MAPK) signaling pathway, often presenting with congenital heart defects, craniofacial dysmorphisms, and developmental delays. To assess the diagnostic yield of genetic testing in patients with suspected RASopathies and to

The 9th International RASopathies Symposium
ABSTRACT The RASopathies are a group of congenital disorders with overlapping clinical manifestations that are caused by pathogenic germline or early somatic variants that result in the hyperactivation of the RAS/mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway.

Clinical efficacy of a RAF inhibitor needs broad target blockade in BRAF-mutant melanoma
B-RAF is the most frequently mutated protein kinase in human cancers. The finding that oncogenic mutations in BRAF are common in melanoma, followed by the demonstration that these tumours are dependent on the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, offered hope that ...
