Article Synopsis
  • DNA genotyping from plasma for NSCLC has a high false-negative rate, showing a need for improved methods, especially for hard-to-reach tumors.
  • This study compared DNA analysis from guide sheath flush fluid during r-EBUS bronchoscopy with plasma and tumor biopsies in 65 patients with peripheral NSCLC, finding that it allows for better mutation detection.
  • The guide sheath flush method detected mutations in 61.8% of cases, significantly outperforming the 33% detection rate of plasma-based genotyping, suggesting it's a more sensitive approach for tumor DNA analysis.

Nonsense mutations are responsible for around 10% of cases of genetic diseases, including cystic fibrosis. 2,6-diaminopurine (DAP) has recently been shown to promote efficient readthrough of UGA premature stop codons. In this study, we show that DAP can correct a nonsense mutation in the Cftr gene in vivo in a new CF mouse model, in utero, and through breastfeeding, thanks, notably, to adequate pharmacokinetic properties.
