Epigenetic Regulation Of Gene Expression Domains In Pluripotent Stem Cells
Transcriptional and histone modification profiles were analysed in detail across several regions of the mouse genome in order to examine how tissue-specificity is determined at early stages of development and how it is maintained during cell ...

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

Radioresistant but Alectinib‐Responsive Isolated Intramedullary ALK‐Positive Histiocytosis
A 56‐year‐old woman with a history of C4–C5 myelomeningocele repair as a newborn and cervical syringomyelia presented with one week of rapidly worsening bilateral lower extremity weakness and numbness, saddle anesthesia, and bladder incontinence. MRI of the entire spine revealed a 1.5 × 0.5 cm homogenously enhancing intramedullary lesion at T7–T8 with ...

10171- MPC-16 SCREENING OF NTRK FUSION IN JAPANESE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM TUMORS [PDF]
NTRK fusions have been reported to be rare in cancers across various organs, except for certain types of tumors. NTRK fusion positive tumors are reported to be highly sensitive to TRK inhibitors such as Larotrectinib and Entrectinib. It is very important

TRKing down drug resistance in NTRK fusion‐positive cancers†
In a recent issue of The Journal of Pathology, Chen and colleagues established novel patient‐derived ex vivo models of NTRK fusion‐positive soft tissue sarcoma to characterize resistance mechanisms against targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

TRLS-09. CONNECT1903: A PILOT AND SURGICAL STUDY OF LAROTRECTINIB FOR TREATMENT OF CHILDREN WITH NEWLY DIAGNOSED HGG WITH NTRK FUSION (NCT04655404) [PDF]
BACKGROUND Recurrent fusions in neurotrophic tropomyosin-receptor kinase genes NTRK 1-3 are found in variety of cancers, including pediatric HGG: DIPG (~4%) and non-brainstem HGG (~10%). For non-brainstem HGG seen in children

Computational analysis reveals histotype-dependent molecular profile and actionable mutation effects across cancers [PDF]
Background: Comprehensive mutational profiling data now available on all major cancers have led to proposals of novel molecular tumor classifications that modify or replace the established organ- and tissue-based tumor typing.

NTRK fusions in osteosarcoma are rare and non‐functional events
Neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) fusions are promising molecular targets that have been described in a broad range of malignant tumours. Fusions commonly lead to the expression of chimeric proteins with constitutive tyrosine kinase activation
