Reclassification of TCGA Diffuse Glioma Profiles Linked to Transcriptomic, Epigenetic, Genomic and Clinical Data, According to the 2021 WHO CNS Tumor Classification.

In 2021, the fifth edition of the WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system (WHO CNS5) was published. Molecular features of tumors were directly incorporated into the diagnostic decision tree, thus affecting both the typing and staging of the tumor. It has changed the traditional approach, based solely on histopathological classification.

EGFR Pathway-Based Gene Signatures of Druggable Gene Mutations in Melanoma, Breast, Lung, and Thyroid Cancers.

EGFR, BRAF, PIK3CA, and KRAS genes play major roles in EGFR pathway, and accommodate activating mutations that predict response to many targeted therapeutics. However, connections between these mutations and EGFR pathway expression patterns remain unexplored. Here, we investigated transcriptomic associations with these activating mutations in three ways.

[The clinical practice guidelines for primary hyperparathyroidism, short version].

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an endocrine disorder of parathyroid glands characterized by excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) with an upper normal or elevated blood calcium level. Classical PHPT refers to a symptomatic, multi-system disorder, wich can lead to a significant decrease in the quality of life, disability of patients, and even an increased risk of premature death. Hypercalcemia and the catabolic effect of PTH on various cells are considered as the main pathogenetic mechanisms of the PHPT associated complications.

DNA repair pathway activation features in follicular and papillary thyroid tumors, interrogated using 95 experimental RNA sequencing profiles.

DNA repair can prevent mutations and cancer development, but it can also restore damaged tumor cells after chemo and radiation therapy. We performed RNA sequencing on 95 human pathological thyroid biosamples including 17 follicular adenomas, 23 follicular cancers, 3 medullar cancers, 51 papillary cancers and 1 poorly differentiated cancer. The gene expression profiles are annotated here with the clinical and histological diagnoses and, for papillary cancers, with gene V600E mutation status.
