Previous observational studies suggested that hepatitis B virus (HBV) preS mutation plays an important role in the existence of HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the results are still debatable. With an increasing number of studies about this topic, this study employed a meta-analysis to identify the association between HBV preS mutation and HCC risk. We searched for eligible studies from PubMed, ProQuest, CINAHL, ScienceDirect and Springer databases to assess the association between HBV mutation and HCC risk. This meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 to provide pooled estimate for odds ratio (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Twenty-one clinical studies were included in this meta-analysis study which consisted of 1738 participants with HBV-related HCC and 3740 HBsAg-positive patients without HCC. All studies used samples of Asian population. PreS deletion was the most common mutation found in all studies. We found that ORs of HBV overall preS deletion was associated with HCC (OR = 3.28; 95% CI = 2.32-4.65; P < .00001; random-effects model). Each preS1 and preS2 deletion was associated with increased risk of HCC, with OR 2.42 (95% CI = 1.25-4.68, P = .008) and 3.36 (95% CI = 2.04-5.55, P < .00001), respectively. PreS2 start codon mutation was also significantly associated with HCC risk (OR = 2.47; 95% CI: 1.15-5.27; P = .02; random-effect model). The result of this meta-analysis suggested that HBV preS deletion (all, preS1 and preS2) and preS2 start codon mutation might contribute to the increased risk of HBV-related HCC.

Male preference for TERT alterations and HBV integration in young-age HBV-related HCC: implications for sex disparity.
Clin Mol Hepatol

Department of Internal Medicine, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background/aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exhibits significant sex disparities in incidence, yet its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We explored the role of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) genetic alterations and hepatitis B virus (HBV) integration, both known major contributors to HCC, in sex-specific risk for HBV-related HCC.
Methods: We examined 310 HBV-related HCC tissues to investigate sex-specific TERT promoter (TERT-pro) mutations and HBV integration profiles, stratified by sex and age, and validated with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data.
Two new mouse alleles of Ocm and Slc26a5.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the roles of two genes, Ocm and Slc26a5, in hearing loss in mice, focusing on their expression in outer hair cells and their potential interaction.
- Mutations in both genes led to the absence of their respective mRNA and resulted in unique patterns of hearing dysfunction, indicating they don't regulate each other's expression.
- Ocm mutants initially had normal hearing that deteriorated over time, while Slc26a5 mutants showed consistently elevated hearing thresholds, suggesting different mechanisms of auditory impairment related to outer hair cells.
Demystifying the Mystery of Genes: A Case Report on Constitutional Mismatch Repair Deficiency.
Indian J Radiol Imaging

Department of Radiation Oncology, Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) is a rare childhood cancer predisposition syndrome that results from biallelic germline mutations in one of the four MMR genes, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2. This syndrome is characterized by a broad spectrum of early-onset malignancies, including hematologic malignancies, colorectal malignancies, brain tumors, and other malignancies. It is common to have more than one malignancy in an individual diagnosed with CMMRD.

Article Synopsis
- Occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) involves the presence of HBV DNA without detectable HBsAg, posing risks for serious liver conditions like cirrhosis and cancer, although its mechanisms remain unclear.
- The study focused on the M133S mutation in the HBV S gene, found in hemodialysis patients, examining how amino acid changes affect S protein production and secretion via various scientific methods.
- Results indicated that the M133S mutation leads to a misfolded S protein that aggregates in the endoplasmic reticulum, impacting gene expression related to protein processing and associated with increased chaperone proteins and co-localization markers.
