Detection fidelity of AR mutations in plasma derived cell-free DNA
Somatic genetic alterations including copy number and point mutations in the androgen receptor (AR) are associated with resistance to therapies targeting the androgen/AR axis in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Due to limitations associated with biopsying metastatic lesions, plasma derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is increasingly being used as substrate for ge...
متن کاملDNA repair mutations and outcomes in ovarian cancer--response.
We appreciate the thoughtful comments from Dr. Soslow (1) and agree with many of his points. As he pointed out, many institutions reserve genetic testing for ovarian cancers with high-grade serous histology (2). We believe such a restriction in current practice is a mistake and will miss identifying carriers of mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 as well as other more recently identified ovarian cance...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA Mutations, Pathogenicity and Inheritance
Mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA), which codes for 13 proteins (all subunits of the respiratory chain complexes), 22 tRNAs and 2 rRNAs. Several mtDNA point mutations as well as deletions have been shown to be causative in well-defined mitochondrial disorders. A mixture of mutated and wild type mtDNA (heteroplasmy) is found in most of these disorders. Inheritance of mtDNA is maternal, a...
متن کاملPlatlet Rich Plasma (PRP) Improves Fat Grafting Outcomes
Autologous fat transfer offers many qualities of a ideal soft tissue filler. Main advantages of fat grafting ensue from the fact that the lipoaspirate tissue is an abundant source of regenerative pluripotential cells. However, the reported rates of fat cell survival vary greatly in the medical literature (10-90%). Different techniques of harvesting, processing, and reinjecting the fat cells are...
متن کاملStudy of Mutations in the DNA gyrase gyrA Gene of Escherichia coli
Quinolones are a large and widely consumed class of synthetic drugs. Expanded-spectrum quinolones, like ciprofloxacin are highly effective against Gram-negative bacteria, especially Escherichia coli. In E. coli the major target for quinolones is DNA gyrase. This enzyme is composed of two subunits, GyrA and GyrB encoding by gyrA and gyrB, respectively. Mutations in either of these genes cause qu...
