POLE somatic mutations in advanced colorectal cancer
Despite all the knowledge already gathered, the picture of somatic genetic changes in colorectal tumorigenesis is far from complete. Recently, germline and somatic mutations in the exonuclease domain of polymerase epsilon, catalytic subunit (POLE) gene have been reported in a small subset of microsatellite-stable and hypermutated colorectal carcinomas (CRCs), affecting the proofreading activity...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of Gallbladder Cancer using Somatic Mutation Profiling
Gallbladder cancer is relatively uncommon, with a high incidence in certain geographic locations, including Latin America, East and South Asia, and Eastern Europe. Molecular characterization of this disease has been limited, and targeted therapy options for advanced disease remain an open area of investigation. In the present study, surgical pathology obtained from resected gallbladder cancer c...
متن کاملHigh-Throughput Mutation Profiling Identifies Frequent Somatic Mutations in Advanced Gastric Adenocarcinoma
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is one of the leading cancer types in incidence and mortality, especially in Asia. In order to improve survival, identification of a catalogue of molecular alterations underlying gastric cancer is a critical step for developing and designing genome-directed therapies. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The Center for Cancer Genome Discovery (CCGD) at the Dana-Farber Canc...
متن کاملAge related shift in the mutation spectra of germline and somatic NF2 mutations: hypothetical role of DNA repair mechanisms.
It has been suggested that somatic mutations that accumulate due to an age related decline in the efficiency of DNA repair mechanisms might contribute to the increased incidence of cancer in older people. However, there is little direct evidence for this phenomenon. The spectra of germline and somatic mutations can be compared in cancer genes that cause inherited tumour syndromes and sporadic t...
متن کاملMolecular profiling of appendiceal epithelial tumors using massively parallel sequencing to identify somatic mutations.
BACKGROUND Some epithelial neoplasms of the appendix, including low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm and adenocarcinoma, can result in pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). Little is known about the mutational spectra of these tumor types and whether mutations may be of clinical significance with respect to therapeutic selection. In this study, we identified somatic mutations using the Ion Torrent A...
