Germline mutations and blood malignancy (Review)

open access: yesOncology Reports, 2020
Germline mutations are congenital genetic mutations in germ cells that originate from sperm or ovum and are generally incorporated into every cell of the offspring's body. Somatic mutations are acquired genetic mutations that form under the influence of environmental factors during embryo formation and epigenetic development.

Copy-number-variation and copy-number-alteration region detection by cumulative plots [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 10(suppl 1):S67 (2009), 2009
Background: Regions with copy number variations (in germline cells) or copy number alteration (in somatic cells) are of great interest for human disease gene mapping and cancer studies. They represent a new type of mutation and are larger-scaled than the single nucleotide polymorphisms.

The molecular genetics of RASopathies: An update on novel disease genes and new disorders

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, Volume 190, Issue 4, Page 425-439, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Enhanced signaling through RAS and the mitogen‐associated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade underlies the RASopathies, a family of clinically related disorders affecting development and growth. In RASopathies, increased RAS‐MAPK signaling can result from the upregulated activity of various RAS GTPases, enhanced function of proteins positively ...

The mutational landscape of human somatic and germline cells [PDF]

open access: yesYearbook of Paediatric Endocrinology, 2020
AbstractDuring the course of a lifetime normal human cells accumulate mutations. Here, using multiple samples from the same individuals we compared the mutational landscape in 29 anatomical structures from soma and the germline. Two ubiquitous mutational signatures, SBS1 and SBS5/40, accounted for the majority of acquired mutations in most cell types ...

Clinical overview on RASopathies

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, Volume 190, Issue 4, Page 414-424, December 2022., 2022
Abstract RASopathies comprise a group of clinically overlapping developmental disorders caused by genetic variations affecting components or modulators of the RAS‐MAPK signaling cascade, which lead to dysregulation of signal flow through this pathway.

Germline PHOX2B Mutation in Hereditary Neuroblastoma [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Journal of Human Genetics, 2004
To the Editor: We read with interest the study by Trochet and colleagues (2004), published in the April 2004 issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics, that described germline mutations of the paired-like homeobox 2B gene (PHOX2B [MIM 603851]) in neuroblastoma (MIM 256700).

Clinical applications of next‐generation sequencing‐based ctDNA analyses in breast cancer: defining treatment targets and dynamic changes during disease progression

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possibility for different applications in early and late stage breast cancer management. In early breast cancer tumor informed approaches are increasingly used for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) and early recurrence. In advanced stage, ctDNA provides a possibility for monitoring disease progression and

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories predict survival in trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The authors applied joint/mixed models that predict mortality of trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories. Patients at high risk of death could be spared aggressive therapy with the prospect of a higher quality of life in their remaining lifetime, whereas patients with a ...
