Unlabelled: In 5 patients, a change in the genetic landscape from HPV16 positive high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) to squamous cervical cancer was traced, which occurred in these patients within the period from 7 months to 5 years after diagnosing HSIL.
Materials And Methods: The DNA from paraffin blocks of dysplasia tissue and the tumor that emerged afterwards was used for the study, which was analyzed using the OncoScan FFPE microarray Assay Kit Affymetrix (USA) for genome-wide determination of gene abundance and 65 key somatic driver mutations of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes.
Results: In the study of HSIL material, somatic mutations were observed in 4/5 cases, 18 different somatic driver mutations of the NRAS, EGFR, BRAF, KRAS, IDH2 oncogenes and TP53 suppressor genes were found and almost no CNA-Copy Number Aberration was identified. HSIL malignization is associated with the appearance of secondary driver mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and a large number of structural and numerical CNA, the frequency of which correlates with the time of dysplasia malignization into cancer with a very high correlation coefficient r = 0.98, P = 0.004. The trees of dysplasia evolution into tumor were constructed for each patient.
Conclusion: According to the results of the work, it is assumed that the initiation of the development of mucosa dysplastic changes is due to primary driver mutations. The formation of secondary driver mutations and CNA are genetic mechanisms of malignant transformation, while the scenarios of the evolution of dysplasia into a tumor are individual and very diverse.

Rationale: ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1) fusion is a rare but important driver mutation in non-small cell lung cancer, which usually shows significant sensitivity to small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors. With the widespread application of next-generation sequencing (NGS), more fusions and co-mutations of ROS1 have been discovered. Non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9) is a rare fusion partner of ROS1 gene as reported.

Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a disease defined as a reduction in ovarian function under the age of 40 and represents the main cause of female infertility. In recent years, many genetic mutations associated with POI have been identified using high-throughput sequencing technology. However, one big challenge today is to determine the disease-causing gene associations through functional assessment.

Comprehensive genetic analysis of tumors with exome or whole genome sequencing has enabled the identification of the genes that are recurrently mutated in cancer. This has stimulated a series of exciting advances over the past 15 years, guiding us to new molecular biomarkers and therapeutic targets among the common mature B-cell neoplasms. In particular, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL) and Burkitt lymphoma (BL) have each been the subject of considerable attention in this field.

Some CLL patients who develop progressive disease (PD) during treatment with covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (cBTKi) acquire pathway resistance mutations in BTK or PLCG2. Here, we report gene mutation data from paired baseline and PD peripheral blood samples from 52 patients (zanubrutinib, n=24; ibrutinib, n=28) who, at an early median follow-up time of 25.7 months, progressed on zanubrutinib or ibrutinib treatment in the ALPINE trial (NCT03734016).

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract. Most GIST harbor mutations in oncogenes, such as KIT, and are treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), such as imatinib. Most tumors develop secondary mutations inducing drug resistance against the available TKI, which requires novel therapies.
