Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality before 50 have been rising alarmingly in the recent decades.
Methods: Using a cohort of 10,000 patients, this study investigates the clinical, mutational, and co-mutational features of CRC in early-onset (EOCRC, < 50 years) compared to late-onset (LOCRC, ≥ 50 years).
Results: EOCRC was associated with a higher prevalence of Asian and Hispanic patients, rectal or left-sided tumors (72% vs. 59%), and advanced-stage disease. Molecular analyses revealed differences in mutation patterns, with EOCRC having higher frequencies of (74% vs. 68%, P < 0.01) and (17% vs. 14%, P = 0.015), while (5% vs. 11%, P < 0.001) and (2.7% vs. 4.1%, P = 0.01) mutations were more prevalent in LOCRC. Stratification by tumor site and MSI status highlighted significant location- and age-specific molecular differences, such as increased and mutations in right-sided EOCRC and higher prevalence in MSI-H LOCRC (47% vs. 6.7%, P < 0.001). Additionally, co-occurrence analysis revealed unique mutational networks in EOCRC MSS, including significant co-occurrences of with , , and .
Conclusion: This study highlights the significance of age-specific molecular profiling, offering insights into the unique biology of EOCRC and potential clinical applications.

Background: Recently, we could show that the co-mutations of + , + and + + lead to a significantly shorter median overall survival (mOS) across treatments by analyzing multiple datasets. , a tumor suppressor gene, plays a crucial role in regulating cell cycle progression. Its mutations occur in approximately 40-50% of non-small lung cancer (NSCLC).

Phyllodes tumors (PTs) has an increased risk of local relapse and distant metastases. Molecular features correlating to histologic grade and aggressive behavior of PTs are poorly characterized. Here, whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed to explore genetic mutations in 61 samples of fibroepithelial breast tumors, including 16 fibroadenomas (FAs), 18 benign PTs, 19 borderline PTs, and 8 malignant PTs.

COVID-19 emergency has pushed the international scientific community to use every resource to combat the spread of the virus, to understand its biology and predict its possible evolution in terms of new variants. Since the first SARS-CoV-2 virus nucleotide and amino acid sequences were made available, information theory was used to study how viral information content was changing over time and then trace the evolution of its mutational landscape. In this work we analyzed SARS-CoV-2 sequences collected mainly in the USA in a period from March 2020 until December 2022 and computed mutation profiles of viral proteins over time through an entropy-based approach using Shannon Entropy and Hellinger distance.

Background: Genetic abnormalities in the FGFR signalling occur in 40% of breast cancer (BCa) patients resistant to anti-ER therapy, which emphasizes the potential of FGFR-targeting strategies. Recent findings indicate that not only mutated FGFR is a driver of tumour progression but co-mutational landscapes and other markers should be also investigated. Autophagy has been recognized as one of the major mechanisms underlying the role of tumour microenvironment in promotion of cancer cell survival, and resistance to anti-ER drugs.
