Aberrations in the () gene, including genetic alterations and chromosomal rearrangements, lead to the development and progression of cancer with poor prognosis. However, the mechanisms underlying the FGFR2 signaling pathway to facilitate the development of FGFR2-targeted therapies have not been fully explored. Here, we examined the clinicopathological features of amplification and fusion in gastrointestinal tract/genitourinary tract cancers. amplification and fusion were identified in approximately 1.5% and 1.1% of all cancer types in 1,373 patients, respectively, with both amplification and fusion occurring together at a rate of approximately 0.6%. Of all cancer types screened, gastric cancer (GC) was the most common cancer type with amplification (87.5% of all amplification case) or fusion (46.7% of all cases). In addition, alteration had poorer overall survival (OS, 13.7 months vs. 50.2 months, = 0.0001) and progression-free survival (PFS, 5.6 months vs. 11.4 months, = 0.0005) than did those without FGFR2 alteration, respectively. Taken together, our data underscore to screen solid cancer patients for FGFR2 aberrations in oncology clinic.

Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) gene mutation is a large class of mutations commonly seen in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MET mutation includes subtypes such as MET exon 14 skipping mutation (METex14m) and MET amplification (METamp). For advanced NSCLC with METex14m, Savolitinib has a high sensitivity as a member of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Recent studies have demonstrated the association between constitutional ring chromosome 21 (r(21)c) and the development of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21 (iAMP21). iAMP21 acts as a driver which is often accompanied by secondary alterations that influence disease progression. Here, we report an atypical case of iAMP21 B-ALL with a unique molecular profile in the context of r(21)c.

Vulvar cancer is a rare gynaecological disease that can be caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). The mutational frequencies and landscape for HPV-associated and HPV-independent vulvar tumor development are supposedly two distinctly different pathways and more detailed knowledge on target biological mechanisms for individualized future treatments is needed. The study included formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from 32 cancer patients (16 HPV-negative and 16 HPV-associated), treated in Örebro, Sweden from 1988 to 2008.

The genomic fusions of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase () gene have been widely recognized as effective therapeutic targets for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University has treated 2 NSCLC patients with 2 distinct novel gene fusions. Case 1 was a 55-year-old male with a solid nodule located in the right hilar lobe on enhanced CT scan.

DNA polymerases from the hyperthermophilic Archaea have attracted considerable attention as PCR enzymes due to their high thermal stability and proofreading 3' → 5' exonuclease activity. This study is the first to report data concerning the purification and biochemical characteristics of the Tst DNA polymerase from . Both the wild type Tst(wt) DNA polymerase and its chimeric form containing the P36H substitution-which reduces the enzyme's affinity for the U-containing template and dUTP-and the DNA-binding domain Sso7d from were obtained and analyzed.
