A novel somatic FGFR3 mutation in primary lung cancer.
The recent discovery of mutations and fusions of oncokinase genes in a subset of lung cancers (LCs) is of considerable clinical interest, since LCs containing such mutations or fusion transcripts are reportedly sensitive to kinase inhibitors. To better understand the role of the recently identified fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) mutations and fusions in pulmonary carcinogenesis, we...
متن کاملDetection of Somatic Mutation in Exon 12 of DNA Polymerase β in Ovarian Cancer Tissue Samples
Background: DNA polymerase β (pol β) is a key enzyme of base excision repair pathway. It is a 1-kb gene consisting of 14 exons. Its catalytic part lies between exon 8 and exon 14. Exon 12 has a role in deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate selection for nucleotide transferase activity. Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from ovarian carcinoma samples. Single strand conformation polymorphism...
متن کاملSomatic mutation in synchronous primary adenocarcinomas of the left lung: a case report.
Multiple lung adenocarcinomas (AC) are uncommon. We herein report a case of multiple AC. A 62-year-old Chinese woman was admitted to our hospital because of her chest enhanced computed tomography (ECT) finding. Her ECT revealed a suspected lung cancer in the left lower lung and ill-defined weak ground-glass opacity in the left upper lobe. Upon operation, however, both were pathologically diagno...
متن کاملFGFR3–TACC3: A novel gene fusion in cervical cancer
Cervical cancer epitomizes the success of cancer prevention through the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, but significant challenges remain in the treatment of advanced disease. We report the first three cases of cervical carcinoma harboring an FGFR3-TACC3 fusion, which serves as a novel therapeutic target. The fusion, identified by comprehensive genomic profiling, activates the FGFR pathway ...
متن کاملA novel somatic MAPK1 mutation in primary ovarian mixed germ cell tumors.
A recent exome-sequencing study revealed prevalent mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1) p.E322K mutation in cervical carcinoma. It remains largely unknown whether ovarian carcinomas also harbor MAPK1 mutations. As paralogous gene mutations co‑occur frequently in human malignancies, we analyzed here a total of 263 ovarian carcinomas for the presence of MAPK1 and paralogous MAPK3 mutations ...
