BACKGROUND: Early detection of pre-cancerous adenomas through screening can reduce colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence. Fecal immunochemical tests are commonly used, but have limited sensitivity for pre-cancerous lesions. Blood-based screening may improve test sensitivity. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of blood-based biomarkers for detection of advanced pre-cancerous lesions. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We present the accuracy of blood-based biomarkers for detection of advanced pre-cancerous lesions...

INTRODUCTION: Skeletal muscle channelopathies (SMCs) are a heterogenous group of disorders, caused by mutations in skeletal ion channels leading to abnormal muscle excitability, resulting in either delayed muscle relaxation (myotonia) which characterizes non-dystrophic myotonias (NDMs), or membrane transient inactivation, causing episodic weakness, typical of periodic paralyses (PPs). AREAS COVERED: SMCs include myotonia congenita, paramyotonia congenita, and sodium-channel myotonia among NDMs, and hyper-normokalemic, hypokalemic, or late-onset periodic paralyses among PPs...

INTRODUCTION: Poly-ADP-ribose-polymerase inhibitors (PARPi), which exploit the processes of so-called 'synthetic lethality,' have been successfully implemented in oncological practice. However, not all patients respond to PARPi, and there is an unmet need for noninvasive biomarkers suitable for patient selection and monitoring during PARPi therapy. AREAS COVERED: The first clinical applications of molecular imaging with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with [18F]-FluorThanatrace ([18F]-FTT) and [18F]-PARPi, highly effective PARP-ligands, in patients with several malignancies, (head and neck, ovarian, prostate and breast cancer) are covered, with a particular focus on its potential for pre-treatment selection and follow-up...

INTRODUCTION: Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are a heterogeneous group of clonal hematopoietic stem cell neoplasms characterized by the driver mutations JAK2, CALR, and MPL. These mutations cause constitutive activation of JAK-STAT signaling, which is central to pathogenesis of MPNs. Next-generation sequencing has further expanded the molecular landscape allowing for improved diagnostics, prognostication, and targeted therapy. AREAS COVERED: This review aims to address current understanding of the molecular diagnosis of MPN not only through improved awareness of the driver mutations but also the disease modifying mutations...

BACKGROUND: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is primarily due to CGG repeat expansions in the FMR1 gene. FMR1 alleles are classified as normal (N), intermediate (I), premutation (PM), and full mutation (FM). FXS patients often carry an FM, but size mosaicism can occur. Additionally, loss of methylation boundary upstream of repeats results in de novo methylation spreading to FMR1 promoter in FXS patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This pilot study investigated the methylation boundary and adjacent regions in 66 males with typical and atypical FXS aged 1 to 30 years (10...

INTRODUCTION: Pancreatic cancer (PC) has an extremely poor prognosis, even with surgical resection and triplet chemotherapy treatment. Cancer immunotherapy has been recently approved for tumor-agnostic treatment with genome analysis, including in PC. However, it has limited efficacy. AREAS COVERED: In addition to the low tumor mutation burden, one of the difficulties of immunotherapy in PC is the presence of abundant stromal cells in its microenvironment. Among stromal cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a major role in immunotherapy resistance, and CAF-targeted therapies are currently under development, including those in combination with immunotherapies...

INTRODUCTION: The hunt for new biomarkers - for the diagnosis of subcategories of disease, or for the monitoring of the efficacy of novel therapeutics - is an increasingly relevant challenge in the current era of precision medicine. In neurodegenerative research, the aim is to look for simple tools which can predict cognitive or motor decline early, and to determine whether these can also be used to test the efficacy of new interventions. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are thought to play an important role in intercellular communication and have been shown to play a vital role in a number of diseases...

BACKGROUND: ALK, ROS1 and RET rearrangements occur respectively in 5%, 2% and 1% non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). ALK and ROS1 fusion proteins detection by immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been validated for rapid patient screening, but ROS1 fusions need to be confirmed by another technique and no RET IHC test is available for clinical use. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We report herein the usefulness of the HTG EdgeSeq Assay, an RNA extraction-free test combining a quantitative nuclease protection assay with NGS, for the detection of ALK, ROS1 and RET fusions from 'real-life' small NSCLC samples...

INTRODUCTION: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers represent a well-established tool for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD), independently from the clinical stage, by reflecting the presence of brain amyloidosis (A+) and tauopathy (T+). In front of this important achievement, so far, (i) CSF AD biomarkers have not yet been adopted for routine clinical use in all Centers dedicated to AD, mainly due to inter-lab variation and lack of internationally accepted cutoff values; (ii) we do need to add other biomarkers more suitable to correlate with the clinical stage and disease monitoring; (iii) we also need to detect the co-presence of other 'non-AD' pathologies...
