Background: Although the molecular features of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have been well described, the impact of detailed gene mutation subtypes on disease progression remained unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different TP53 mutation subtypes on clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with PDAC.
Methods: We included 639 patients treated with PDAC in Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine between Jan 2019 and Jun 2021. The genomic alterations of PDAC were analyzed, and the association of TP53 mutation subtypes and other core gene pathway alterations with patients' clinical characteristics were evaluated by Chi-squared test, Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model.
Results: TP53 missense mutation was significantly associated with poor differentiation in KRAS PDAC (50.7% vs. 36.1%, P = 0.001). In small-sized (≤ 2 cm) KRAS tumors, significantly higher LNs involvement (54.8% vs. 23.5%, P = 0.010) and distal metastic rate (20.5% vs. 2.9%, P = 0.030) were observed in those with TP53 missense mutation instead of truncating mutation. Compared with TP53 truncating mutation, missense mutation was significantly associated with reduced DFS (6.6 [5.6-7.6] vs. 9.2 [5.2-13.3] months, HR 0.368 [0.200-0.677], P = 0.005) and OS (9.6 [8.0-11.1] vs. 18.3 [6.7-30.0] months, HR 0.457 [0.248-0.842], P = 0.012) in patients who failed to receive chemotherapy, while higher OS (24.2 [20.8-27.7] vs. 23.8 [19.0-28.5] months, HR 1.461 [1.005-2.124], P = 0.047) was observed in TP53 cases after chemotherapy.
Conclusions: TP53 missense mutation was associated with poor tumor differentiation, and revealed gain-of-function properties in small-sized KRAS transformed PDAC. Nonetheless, it was not associated with insensitivity to chemotherapy, highlighting the neoadjuvant therapy before surgery as the potential optimized strategy for the treatment of a subset of patients.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) acyclovir (ACV) resistance is acquired by mutations in the viral thymidine kinase (TK) or DNA polymerase (DNApol) genes. We previously obtained an ACV-resistant clone (HSV-1_VZV_TK_clone α) by sequential passages of HSV-1_VZV-TK, a recombinant virus which lacked its endogenous TK activity and instead expressed the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) TK ectopically. HSV-1_VZV_TK_clone α had been generated using an HSV-1_BAC in the presence of increasing concentrations of ACV.

Background: αδ proteins regulate membrane trafficking and biophysical properties of voltage-gated calcium channels. Moreover, they modulate axonal wiring, synapse formation, and trans-synaptic signaling. Several rare missense variants in CACNA2D1 (coding for αδ-1) and CACNA2D3 (coding for αδ-3) genes were identified in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

This study describes two siblings from consanguineous parents who exhibit intellectual disability, microcephaly, photosensitivity, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, numerous freckles, and other clinical features that suggest a potential disruption of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Whole exome sequencing (WES) identified a novel homozygous missense variant in the gene, which was predicted to be pathogenic. However, a subsequent peculiar audiometric finding prompted further investigation, revealing a homozygous deletion in the gene linked to neurosensorial hearing loss.

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2E/R4 (LGMD2E/R4) is a rare disease that currently has no cure. It is caused by defects in the gene, mainly missense mutations, which cause the impairment of the sarcoglycan complex, membrane fragility, and progressive muscle degeneration. Here, we studied the fate of some β-sarcoglycan (β-SG) missense mutants, confirming that, like α-SG missense mutants, they are targeted for degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAMPylation is a post-translational modification involving the transfer of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to target proteins, serving as a critical regulatory mechanism in cellular functions. This study aimed to expand the phenotypic spectrum associated with mutations in the FICD gene, which encodes an adenyltransferase enzyme involved in both AMPylation and deAMPylation. A clinical evaluation was conducted on a patient presenting with a complex clinical profile.
