Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to understand the genetic factors of prostate cancer by analyzing 14 genes linked to cancer susceptibility using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).
  • Key findings revealed pathogenic mutations in genes like BRCA1, BRCA2, and TP53, along with benign variations, highlighting their differing roles in cancer progression.
  • Functional tests showed that mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 were linked to lower expression levels and increased sensitivity to certain chemotherapy drugs, while mutations in TP53 did not notably affect drug response.

Unlabelled: Bartter syndrome is a rare heterogeneous disease characterised by a deficiency in sodium and chloride absorption. Gain-of-function mutations in the CASR gene have been described in some patients with Bartter syndrome associated with hypocalcaemia and hypercalciuria. We describe a case of adult-onset Bartter syndrome with hypocalcaemia severe enough to cause osteomalacia.
