Errate: A Retrospective Study of 290 Patients with Resectable Benign and Malignant Gastric Neoplasms to Compare Postoperative Outcomes of Endoscopic Resection with and without the Internal Traction Method Using a Spring-and-Loop with Clip (S-O Clip).

The authors have identified an error in Table 5 concerning the dissection speed. It is currently listed as follows: S-O group 14.5±9.

Mutation spectra of the BRCA1/2 genes in human breast and ovarian cancer and germline.

Annotating genomic sequence alterations is sometimes a difficult decision, particularly in missense variants with uncertain pathogenic significance and also in those presumed as germline pathogenic variants. We here suggest that mutation spectrum may also be useful for judging them. From the public databases, 982 BRCA1/1861 BRCA2 germline missense variants and 294 BRCA1/420 BRCA2 somatic missense variants were obtained.

Trk-fused gene plays a critical role in diet-induced adipose tissue expansion and is also involved in thyroid hormone action.

Mutations in the Trk-fused gene (TFG) cause hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy with proximal dominant involvement, which reportedly has high co-incidences with diabetes and dyslipidemia, suggesting critical roles of the TFG in metabolism as well. We found that TFG expression levels in white adipose tissues (WATs) were elevated in both genetically and diet-induced obese mice and that TFG deletion in preadipocytes from the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) markedly inhibited adipogenesis. To investigate its role in vivo, we generated tamoxifen-inducible adipocyte-specific TFG knockout (AiTFG KO) mice.
