متن کاملA Duodenal SDH-Deficient Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor in a Patient With a Germline SDHB Mutation.
Context Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract arising from the interstitial cells of Cajal. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient GISTs are a unique class of GIST defined by loss of immunohistochemical expression of SDHB, indicating dysfunction of the mitochondrial complex 2; lack of driver mutations in KIT and PDGFRA; and distinctive mor...
متن کاملGermline Counterparts of Oncogenic Mutations: Who Gives a JAK?
We have recently described a family with hereditary thrombocytosis caused by an inherited JAK2V617I mutation, the first report of a germline activating JAK2 mutation (Mead et al, New England Journal of Medicine,2012;366:967-9). Aside from the implications for diagnostic algorithms in the myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), study of germline JAK2 mutations has the potential to contribute to und...
متن کاملGermline TP53 variants and susceptibility to osteosarcoma.
The etiologic contribution of germline genetic variation to sporadic osteosarcoma is not well understood. Osteosarcoma is a sentinel cancer of Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), in which approximately 70% of families meeting the classic criteria have germline TP53 mutations. We sequenced TP53 exons in 765 osteosarcoma cases. Data were analyzed with χ(2) tests, logistic regression, and Cox proportional...
متن کاملGermline polymorphisms in RNF31 regulate linear ubiquitination and oncogenic signaling.
A new study proposes that the cancerous behavior of B cells in a subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is caused by excessive activity of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) complex, which underlies abnormal NF-κB signaling. Two rare germline single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the RNF31 gene have been identified as being responsible. The use of a small inhibiting peptide may ...
