A woman in her early 20s presented with cough and fever. She had undergone an abdominal myomectomy 3 years ago for uterine leiomyoma. Chest CT and positron emission tomography-CT revealed multiple round nodules in both lungs, suggesting metastatic lesions. A CT-guided lung biopsy was performed, and the tumour was diagnosed as pulmonary benign metastasising leiomyoma (PBML) based on pathological analyses. Whole exon capture sequencing of uterine leiomyoma and PBML sections revealed that 13 genes (MCM10, SLC16A9, RAG1, BAZ1A, NLRP2, TRMT61B, CPXM1, NGLY1, SUCLG2, FAM13A, CAGE1, PHTF2 and ZDHHC2) were concurrently present in the two tumours. The patient was prescribed goserelin injections every 4 weeks. The symptoms improved 2 weeks after starting the treatment. The lung nodules considerably decreased in size after three courses of goserelin treatment. The nodular size continues to decrease with the treatment.

Adaptive evolution of stress response genes in parasites aligns with host niche diversity.

Background: Stress responses are key the survival of parasites and, consequently, also the evolutionary success of these organisms. Despite this importance, our understanding of the evolution of molecular pathways dealing with environmental stressors in parasitic animals remains limited. Here, we tested the link between adaptive evolution of parasite stress response genes and their ecological diversity and species richness.

The exon capture approach allows for sequencing a large number of loci to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships at varying taxonomic levels. In order to efficiently recover the targeted loci, the probes designed to capture the exons need to be genetically sufficiently similar to bind to the DNA, with a proposed limit of 10% of divergence. However, this threshold has never been tested with a specific protocol.

Background: MET gene exon 14 skipping was identified as a potential driver mutation that occurs in approximately 3%-4% of patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), typically in the absence of other driver mutations. Capmatinib and tepotinib were the first MET- tyrosine kinase inhibitors (MET-TKIs) approved by the FDA and PMDA, specifically for patients with metastatic NSCLC. Several studies have reported acquired resistance after MET-TKI treatment for MET mutation-positive NSCLC.

Purpose: This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive genetic analysis of patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), focusing on the frequency of MAPK pathway mutations, detailed mutation profiles of MAPK pathway genes, and their correlation with clinical features and prognosis in Korean LCH patients.
Materials And Methods: We performed targeted next-generation sequencing, capable of capturing exons from 382 cancer-related genes, on genomic DNA extracted from formaldehyde-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples of 45 pathologically confirmed LCH patients.
Results: The majority of patients (91.
