Integrative genomics reveals frequent somatic NF1 mutations in sporadic pheochromocytomas.
Pheochromocytomas are neuroendocrine tumors of the adrenal medulla which can occur either sporadically or in the context of hereditary tumor syndromes. Whereas the genetic background of hereditary pheochromocytomas is becoming rather well-defined, very little is known about the more common sporadic form of the disease which constitutes ∼70% of all cases. In this study, we elucidate some of the ...
متن کاملFrequent somatic reversion of KRT1 mutations in ichthyosis with confetti.
Widespread reversion of genetic disease is rare; however, such events are particularly evident in some skin disorders in which normal clones develop on a background of affected skin. We previously demonstrated that mutations in keratin 10 (KRT10) cause ichthyosis with confetti (IWC), a severe dominant disorder that is characterized by progressive development of hundreds of normal skin spots via...
متن کاملPediatric pulmonary Crohn's disease: more frequent than expected.
Figure 1 CT scan with multiple parenchymal nodules of varying sizes in both lung fields (with indication of dimensions) and interstitial inflammation (arrows). We read with interest the report by Vadlamudi et al.1 on pulmonary manifestations of Crohn's disease in children, retrieving in the English literature 17 pediatric cases. Lung involvement in IBD is considered a rare extraintestinal compl...
متن کاملWhole Exome Sequencing Identifies Frequent Somatic Mutations in Cell-Cell Adhesion Genes in Chinese Patients with Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Lung squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC) accounts for about 30% of all lung cancer cases. Understanding of mutational landscape for this subtype of lung cancer in Chinese patients is currently limited. We performed whole exome sequencing in samples from 100 patients with lung SQCCs to search for somatic mutations and the subsequent target capture sequencing in another 98 samples for validation. We i...
