    Validation of thyroid fine needle aspiration rinse with indeterminate cytology results as a suitable sample type for molecular testing (ECP 2024)
    FNA rinses are a suitable source to perform molecular analysis after morphological evaluation maximizing diagnostic efficiency. Additionally, BRAF V600E is not the sole pathogenic alteration in thyroid cancer, so expanding tests to include other molecular alterations may enhance diagnostic utility using this available material.

    Crystal structure of NRAS Q61K with a ligand-induced pocket near switch II. (PubMed, Eur J Cell Biol)
    This observation reveals a binding site that can potentially be exploited for development of inhibitors against mutant NRAS. Furthermore, the well-resolved catalytic site of this GTPase bound to native GTP provides insight into the stalled GTP hydrolysis observed for NRAS-Q61K.

    RAS Family Gene Mutations, Clinicopathological Features, and Spread Patterns of Inverted Urothelial Papilloma of the Bladder. (PubMed, Am J Surg Pathol)
    No recurrence or carcinoma development was observed in any of the IUP cases during the follow-up period. Thus, we confirmed the importance of RAS pathway activation in IUP pathogenesis, an association between RAS family gene mutations and IUP subtypes, and the spread patterns of IUP cells within the surface.

    We found that all 23 CAAs showed diffuse and strong membranous RAS Q61R immunoreactivity (100% sensitivity), while none of the 8 OSCCs showed immunoreactivity (100% specificity). The data supports the use of RAS Q61R-specific rabbit monoclonal antibody for diagnostic IHC confirmation of CAA and ruling out OSCC in dogs.

    Whole-exome sequencing of secondary tumors arising from nevus sebaceous revealed additional genomic alterations besides RAS mutations. (PubMed, J Dermatol)
    In conclusion, our study revealed that secondary tumors arising from NS harbor known RAS hotspot mutations and additional genomic alterations, including putative driver mutations and PTCH1 copy-loss. These results could help to define the high-risk group for tumor development in patients with NS and provide evidence for prophylactic resection.

    Characterization of Molecular Divers in 554 Consecutive Papillary Thyroid Carcinomas in a Post-2017 WHO Classification Cohort (USCAP 2023)
    In this post-2017 WHO classification cohort of 554 consecutive PTCs, BRAF V600E mutation is highly prevalent in 87% of the cases. RAS mutations account for only 1.1% of the cases and half of them are classified as encapsulated follicular variant of PTC. Kinase gene fusions are identified in 8.5% of the cases and are clinically relevant given the emerging targeted kinase inhibitor therapy.

    HRAS Alteration Is Retained in the Heterogeneous Components of the Non-Invasive Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma (AMP 2022)
    HRAS mutation, a well-known genetic alteration of low-grade tumor in bladder cancer, was detected only in the high-grade UTUC in the public data, suggesting a rather distinct molecular alteration of UTUC. Also, HRAS alteration was clonally retained in not only the low-grade but also the high-grade components, and was significantly correlated to intratumoral heterogeneity. Our findings can help understand the underlying biology of NI-UTUC cases with HRAS alteration and intratumoral heterogeneity.

    EIF1AX mutations in thyroid nodules: analysis of a series of 1095 consecutive cases (ECP 2022)
    EIF1AX mutations are RAS-like alterations found in benign follicular-patterned thyroid nodules (hyperplastic nodules and follicular adenomas) where, in a small minority of cases, they may co-exist with other RAS-like mutations. No EIF1AX mutations were found in 172 papillary, 14 follicular, 12 oncocytic, 10 medullary carcinomas. The only malignant tumour with EIF1AX mutation in the series was an undifferentiated carcinoma with co-mutated highly pathogenic alterations (PIK3CA and TERT promoter).

    Finally, in zebrafish embryo xenograft assay, a time-dependent increase of cell proliferation and migration was observed only in embryos injected with Q61R. Conclusion Although other experiments are needed, our data suggest exploring the molecular characterization of RASmutation to better discriminate more aggressive RAS-mutated TCs.

    Irrespective of the driving mutation, SSVs in RET occured in high frequency in MTC. The identification of RET SSVs in MTC might represent a novel diagnostic feature for this tumor and may represent an opportunity for better understanding its pathogenesis. Additional work is needed to explore any potential options for targeted therapy for MTC with RET SSVs.

    Conclusion NRAS Q61R IHC is highly sensitive and specific for the detection of RAS Q61R mutations in thyroid pathology and is particularly relevant in follicular-patterned neoplasms. When evaluated alongside histologic features, NRAS Q61R immunoreactivity can be instrumental in the diagnosis and classification of thyroid nodules.

    [VIRTUAL] Genetic landscape of melanoma in China reveals enrichment of fusions in driver-negative melanoma. (ASCO 2021)
    As was reported, AGAP3-BRAF fusion was the mechanism by which melanoma patients with BRAF V600E mutations developed resistance to vemurafenib; GTF2I-BRAF fusion mediated the activation of MAPK pathway in fibrous astrocytoma... Through DNA-based NGS, the mutation landscape of Chinese melanoma patients was depicted . BRAF was the most frequently mutated driver gene with the main mutation type of V600E (19.7%) which was significantly lower than that of white race in TCGA-SKCM database (44.2%) . On the other hand, DNA-based NGS can detect potentially druggable fusions, and compared with driver positive melanoma patients, fusions were enriched in patients with no driver mutations detected .

    This tumor was obtained from a patient with mCRPC who progressed on enzalutamide, abiraterone, cabazitaxel, and had exposure to docetaxel, however discontinued due to toxicity...Single agents (abemaciclib, bafetinib, erdafitinib, tipifarnib, MK2206, APR-246) all caused dose dependent inhibition up to 100% inhibition. This rare prostate cancer model, GUR017M allows us to test novel single agents and combination strategies in 3-D culture. This patient tumor has also proven to be a successful PDTX model which allows for confirmatory testing in animal models in order to move forward with clinical trial proposals.

    The Diagnostic Utility of RAS Q61R Mutation-specific Immunohistochemistry in Epithelial-Myoepithelial Carcinoma. (PubMed, Am J Surg Pathol)
    IHC for RAS Q61R is highly sensitive and specific for detecting the HRAS Q61R mutation in EMC. Since significant immunopositivity was almost exclusively identified in nearly two thirds of EMCs but seldom in the histologic mimics, the IHC of RAS Q61R is a useful tool for diagnosing EMC in general pathology laboratories.

    The monoclonal antibody (clone RBT-NRAS) against NRAS Q61R is a sensitive and specific marker used for detecting HRAS Q61R mutation in the salivary gland tumors. The apocrine-type IC had different cytological grades, distinct tumor growth patterns, and no evidence of low- to high-grade transition, suggesting that apocrine-type IC should be distinguished from apocrine SDC with an in situ component.

    At a tertiary cancer center, patients with RAS-mutated sMTC had a 10-year OS rate of 73%, with significantly worse OS in patients with HRAS/KRAS mutations other than HRAS Q61R. In comparison, prior studies have reported 10-year OS rates between ~71-90% in sMTC and 10-year OS rates as low as 56% for more aggressive RET M918T sMTC mutations. The findings here are consistent with other studies that have suggested patients with RAS-mutated sMTC are at intermediate risk for aggressive disease, though there are limited data on OS rates in RAS or RAS-/RET- sMTC.
