TET2 germline mutation in a patient with sequential lymphoid malignancies: a novel case report [PDF]

Annals of Hematology
We report a case of a 30-year-old male patient with a germline heterozygous TET2 R1354fs mutation, who successively developed three distinct lymphoid malignancies: mixed cellularity classical Hodgkin lymphoma (MCCHL), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma ...

Direct measurement of the male germline mutation rate in individuals using sequential sperm samples [PDF]

Nature Communications
Mutations that accumulate in the human male germline with age are a major driver of genetic diversity and contribute to genetic diseases. However, aging-related male germline mutation rates have not been measured directly in germline cells (sperm) at the

Case Report of a DDX41 Germline Mutation in a Family with Multiple Relatives Suffering from Leukemia

Biomedicines, 2023
Introduction: Previously, it was assumed that genetic influence played a minor role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Increasing evidence of germline mutations has emerged, such as DDX41 germline mutation associated with familial AML. Case presentation: A

A High Percentage of NSCLC With Germline CHEK2 Mutation Harbors Actionable Driver Alterations: Survey of a Cancer Genomic Database and Review of Literature

JTO Clinical and Research Reports, 2022
Introduction: Germline CHEK2 mutations are rare and have not been associated with increased risk of NSCLC. Methods: We identified two sequential primary NSCLCs harboring distinct actionable driver alterations (EGFR E746 _S752 delinsV and CD74-ROS1) in a ...

Effects of germline and somatic events in candidate BRCA-like genes on breast-tumor signatures.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 cause deficiencies in homologous recombination repair (HR), resulting in repair of DNA double-strand breaks by the alternative non-homologous end-joining pathway, which is more error prone.

The Impact of DNA Methylation Dynamics on the Mutation Rate During Human Germline Development

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
DNA methylation is a dynamic epigenetic modification found in most eukaryotic genomes. It is known to lead to a high CpG to TpG mutation rate. However, the relationship between the methylation dynamics in germline development and the germline mutation ...
