Aim: To develop a prognostic molecular genetic model for assessing the risk of development of benign and malignant tumors of female reproductive organs (FRO) in patients from cancer-affected families.
Patients And Methods: The work presents the data on a comprehensive clinical examination of 210 women (90 patients with FRO cancer with aggregation of tumor pathology in families, 65 patients with benign pathology of FRO from cancer-affected families, 55 women - control group of healthy women without family history of cancer). Clinical genealogical analysis, morphological examination of tumors and molecular genetic studies of genomic DNA from peripheral blood and tumors were carried out.
Results: It was established that in the families of patients with benign and malignant pathology of FRO, malignant tumors associated with Lynch II syndrome are observed. Based on the analysis of detected ESR-1, CYP 2D6*4 and mutations in BRCA1/2 genes in cancer patients and in patients with benign pathology, molecular genetic models have been developed to assess the individual risk of development of benign and malignant tumors of FRO. It has been established that these molecular genetic models and combinations of gene mutations and gene polymorphisms (SNP) by the intergene interaction that was analyzed, were found to be reliable in assessing the risk of benign and malignant pathology of the mammary gland and ovary.
Conclusions: The model, which included the polymorphic variants of the T397C(ESR1)/CYP 2D6*4 genes was of the best predictive accuracy for the evaluation of the risk of benign tumors of the FRO (71.68%) and the highest reliability (p < 0.001). At the same time, all identified models of intergene interaction in the development of malignant pathology of FRO were reliable, prognostically significant with high reproduction and almost identical accuracy (65.00-68.23%). The obtained results indicate a high informativeness of such molecular genetic indices as the polymorphism of ESR1 and CYP 2D6*4 genes and mutations in BRCA1/2 genes to assess the risk of benign or malignant tumors of FRO in families of patients with family history of cancer.

Background: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant colorectal tumour syndrome characterised by the formation of multiple adenomatous polyps throughout the colon. It is important to understand the extracolonic phenotype that characterizes FAP. Most previous case reports of patients with both FAP and intellectual disability (ID) have described deletions in all or part of chromosome 5q, including the APC locus.

Background: TP53 variant classification benefits from the availability of large-scale functional data for missense variants generated using cDNA-based assays. However, absence of comprehensive splicing assay data for TP53 confounds the classification of the subset of predicted missense and synonymous variants that are also predicted to alter splicing. Our study aimed to generate and apply splicing assay data for a prioritised group of 59 TP53 predicted missense or synonymous variants that are also predicted to affect splicing by either SpliceAI or MaxEntScan.

Background: Cardiac fibrosis plays a critical role in the progression of various forms of heart disease, significantly increasing the risk of sudden cardiac death. However, currently, there are no therapeutic strategies available to prevent the onset of cardiac fibrosis.
Methods And Results: Here, biomimetic ATP-responsive nanozymes based on genetically engineered cell membranes are adapted to specifically recognize activated cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) for the treatment of cardiac fibrosis.

Background: Older people living with HIV-1 (PLWH) experience a dual burden from the combined effects of aging and HIV-1 infection, resulting in significant immune dysfunction. Despite receiving HAART, immune reconstitution is not fully optimized. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of aging and HAART on T cell subsets and function in PLWH across different age groups, thereby providing novel insights into the prognosis of older PLWH.

Aim: The study was designed to evaluate molecular alterations, relevant to the prognosis and personalized therapy of salivary gland cancers (SGCs).
Materials And Methods: DNA was extracted from archival tissue of 40 patients with various SGCs subtypes. A targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel was used for the identification of small-scale mutations, focal and chromosomal arm-level copy number changes.
