Single-Cell RNA-seq Reveals Profound Alterations in Mechanosensitive Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons with Vitamin E Deficiency. [PDF]
Ninety percent of Americans consume less than the estimated average requirements of dietary vitamin E (vitE). Severe vitE deficiency due to genetic mutations in the tocopherol transfer protein (TTPA) in humans results in ataxia with vitE deficiency (AVED)

Whole genome sequencing of one complex pedigree illustrates challenges with genomic medicine [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) has risen as a useful tool for precision medicine by providing a standardized vocabulary of phenotypic abnormalities to describe presentations of human pathologies; however, there have been relatively few ...

NTRK amplification occurs frequently in pan-TRK immunopositive dedifferentiated liposarcomas
The neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (NTRK) gene family is of rising importance as their fusions are oncogenic, and specific target drugs are available to inhibit the chimera proteins.

Larotrectinib efficacy and safety in TRK fusion cancer: An expanded clinical dataset showing consistency in an age and tumor agnostic approach [PDF]
Background: TRK fusion cancer results from gene fusions involving NTRK1, NTRK2 or NTRK3. Larotrectinib, the first selective TRK inhibitor, has demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR) of 75% with a favorable safety profile in the first 55 ...

A CLIP on the Ear: Spitz Melanocytoma Harbouring a CLIP2-BRAF Gene Fusion
Spitzoid lesions represent one of the most challenging areas in melanocytic pathology. Many such lesions are characterised by key gene alterations including ALK, ROS and NTRK fusions. BRAF mutations are generally considered incompatible with the diagnosis of Spitz tumours. Here, we present the case of a spitzoid melanocytoma harbouring a rare BRAF gene

Prevalence of established and emerging biomarkers of immune checkpoint inhibitor response in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
The clinical deployment of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has created a tandem drive for the identification of biomarkers linked to benefit. Comprehensive genomic profiling was performed to evaluate the frequency of genomic biomarkers of ICI ...
