Mismatch repair deficiency (MMRd) or microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) is rare in prostate cancer and more frequently observed in cases with ductal histology. MLH1 copy number loss is extremely rare in MMRd tumors. Herein, we describe a case of prostate ductal adenocarcinoma with MLH1 copy number loss, microsatellite instability high and BRCA2 mutation could derive benefit from immunotherapy plus ADT.

However, rare naive B cells infrequently participate in immune responses. We investigated how germline-targeting vaccine antigen delivery and adjuvant selection affect priming of exceptionally rare BG18-like HIV broadly neutralizing antibody-precursor B cells (~1 in 50 million) in non-human primates.

Colorectal cancer contributes to cancer-related deaths and health disparities in the Hispanic and Latino community. To probe both the biological and genetic bases of the disparities, we characterized features of colorectal cancer in terms of somatic alterations and genetic similarity. Specifically, we conducted a comprehensive genome-scale analysis of 67 Hispanic and Latino samples.

Despite its effectiveness in controlling plasma viremia, antiretroviral therapy (ART) cannot target proviral DNA, which remains an obstacle to HIV-1 eradication. When treatment is interrupted, the reservoirs can act as a source of viral rebound, highlighting the value of proviral DNA as an additional source of information on an individual's overall resistance burden. In cases where the viral load is too low for successful HIV-1 RNA genotyping, HIV-1 DNA can help identify resistance mutations in treated individuals.

The detection of APOBEC3F- and APOBEC3G-induced mutations in virus sequences is useful for identifying hypermutated sequences. These sequences are not representative of viral evolution and can therefore alter the results of downstream sequence analyses if included. We previously published the software Hypermut, which detects hypermutation events in sequences relative to a reference.
