Chromosomal breaks at the origin of small tandem DNA duplications
Small tandem DNA duplications form a specific mutational signature frequently found in human disease alleles and cancer genes. Here we hypothesize that these duplications mainly arise at chromosomal DNA breaks that result from two closely located single‐stranded nicks, through error‐prone repair by the non‐homologous end‐joining pathway. Abstract Small

Abstract Background Although programmed cell death 1 (PD‐1) blockade plus chemotherapy can significantly prolong the progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in first‐line settings in patients with driver‐negative advanced non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the predictive biomarkers remain undetermined.

Human copy number variations (CNVs) and copy number alterations (CNAs) are DNA segments (>1000 base pairs) of duplications or deletions with respect to the reference genome, potentially causing genomic imbalance leading to diseases such as cancer.

Proteogenomic characterization of cholangiocarcinoma
Proteogenomic characterization of cholangiocarcinoma with therapeutic strategies Abstract Background and Aims Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly heterogeneous cancer with limited understanding and few effective therapeutic approaches. We aimed at providing a proteogenomic CCA characterization to inform biological processes and treatment ...

Mutation frequency heat map of spontaneous PTPN11 variants show spatial clustering in the testis due to germline selection explaining the high birth incidence of Noonan syndrome. Some somatic PTPN11 cancer mutations are similarly clustered in testis. Abstract Some spontaneous germline gain‐of‐function mutations promote spermatogonial stem cell clonal ...

VariantAlert: A web‐based tool to notify updates in genetic variant annotations
Abstract The reinterpretation of variants based on updated annotations is part of the routine work of research laboratories: the more data is collected about a specific variant, the higher the probability to reinterpret its classification. To support this task, we developed VariantAlert, a web‐based tool to help researchers and clinicians to be ...
