The price of whole-genome and -exome sequencing has fallen to the point where these methods can be applied to clinical medicine. Here, we outline the lessons we have learned in converting a sequencing laboratory designed for research into a fully functional clinical program.

Purpose/background: Clozapine is the recommended drug for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Drug response could be affected by numerous factors such as age, sex, body mass index, co-medication, consumption of xanthine-containing beverages, smoking, and genetic variants of the enzymes involved in clozapine metabolism (CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and, to a lesser extent, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6). This study evaluated genetic and nongenetic variables that may affect clozapine plasma concentrations in Uruguayan patients with schizophrenia.

Purpose: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), exhibiting remarkable heterogeneity, can be highly infiltrated by regulatory T cells (Tregs). However, the relationship between Treg and the heterogeneity of RCC remains to be explored.

Methods: We acquired single-cell RNA-seq profiles and 537 bulk RNA-seq profiles of TCGA-KIRC cohort.

Background: Low-grade glioma (LGG) is a slow-growing but invasive tumor that affects brain function. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play a critical role in gene regulation and tumor progression. This study aims to develop a prognostic model based on HDAC-related genes to aid in risk stratification and predict therapeutic responses.

December 2024

Department of Urology, Meizhou People's Hospital, Meizhou Academy of Medical Sciences, No. 63, Huang Tang Road, Meizhou, 514031, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) represents a common renal carcinoma subtype influenced by the immune microenvironment. LIM and SH3 Protein 2 (LASP2), an actin-binding protein within the nebulin family, contributes to cellular immunity and adhesion mechanisms.

Objective: This study aimed to clarify the immunological and prognostic relevance of LASP2 in ccRCC.
