Unlabelled: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare malignant clinical syndrome with little known about the global mutation profile. In this study, whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed in 49 appendiceal PMP to investigate mutation profiles and mutation signatures. A total of 4,020 somatic mutations were detected, with a median mutation number of 56 (1-402). Tumor mutation burden (TMB) was generally low (median 1.55 mutations/Mb, 0.12-11.26 mutations/Mb). Mutations were mainly enriched in the function of cancer-related axonogenesis, extracellular matrix-related processes, calcium signaling pathway, and cAMP signaling pathway. Mutations in FCGBP, RBFOX1, SPEG, RTK-RAS, PI3K-AKT, and focal adhesion pathways were associated with high-grade mucinous carcinoma peritonei. These findings revealed distinct mutation profile in appendiceal PMP. Ten mutation signatures were identified, dividing patients into mutation signature cluster (MSC) 1 (N = 28, 57.1%) and MSC 2 (N = 21, 42.9%) groups. MSC (P = 0.007) was one of the four independent factors associated with 3-year survival. TMB (P = 0.003) and microsatellite instability (P = 0.002) were independent factors associated with MSC 2 grouping. Taken together, our findings provided a broader view in the understanding of molecular pathologic mechanism in appendiceal PMP and may be critical to developing an individualized approach to appendiceal PMP treatment.
Implications: This work describes exhaustive mutation profile of PMP based on WES data and derives ten mutation signatures, which divides patients into two clusters and serve as an independent prognostic factor associated with 3-year survival.

The pathogenicity of cholestatic liver diseases (CLDs) remains insufficiently characterized, hindering definitive diagnosis and timely treatment. The aim of this study was to improve the pathogenicity prediction of novel bile acid (BA) transporter variants in patients with CLDs. We analyzed the clinical characteristics and genetic profiles of a CLD cohort (n = 57) using multiple in silico tools and in vitro functional assays.

Background: Drug response prediction can infer the relationship between an individual's genetic profile and a drug, which can be used to determine the choice of treatment for an individual patient. Prediction of drug response is recently being performed using machine learning technology. However, high-throughput sequencing data produces thousands of features per patient.

Background: Syndromic genetic disorders affecting vision can also cause hearing loss, and Usher syndrome is by far the most common etiology. However, many other conditions can present dual sensory impairment. Accurate diagnosis is essential for providing patients with genetic counseling, prognostic information, and appropriate resources.

Sotorasib is a novel KRAS inhibitor that has shown robust efficacy, safety, and tolerability in patients with KRAS mutation. The objectives of the population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis were to characterize sotorasib population PK in healthy subjects and patients with advanced solid tumors with KRAS mutation from 6 clinical studies, evaluate the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on PK parameters, and perform simulations to further assess the impact of identified covariates on sotorasib exposures. A two-compartment disposition model with three transit compartments for absorption and time-dependent clearance and bioavailability well described sotorasib PK.

ABCB1 is a broad-spectrum efflux pump central to cellular drug handling and multidrug resistance in humans. However, how it is able to recognize and transport a wide range of diverse substrates remains poorly understood. Here we present cryo-EM structures of lipid-embedded human ABCB1 in conformationally distinct apo-, substrate-bound, inhibitor-bound, and nucleotide-trapped states at 3.
