Article Synopsis
  • - This research investigates how mutations in the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene affect liver cancer (HCC), specifically focusing on the loss of its tumor-suppressing functions.
  • - Using bioinformatics and databases, the study found a high mutation frequency of the R130Q/G/L sites on the PTEN gene and utilized CRISPR-Cas12a to confirm the R130Q mutation in clinical HCC samples.
  • - The findings suggest that CRISPR-Cas12a could be a valuable clinical tool for screening and prognostic assessment of HCC by detecting PTEN mutations.

Background: Undifferentiated embryonic sarcoma of the liver (UESL) is a rare primary liver sarcoma that mainly affects children. Since it was first reported in 1978, less than 100 cases of UESL in adults have been reported. Due to the lack of specificity of clinical symptoms and imaging findings, the misdiagnosis rate of UESL is very high, and the definite diagnosis is usually in the late stage.
