Positivity for H3K27me3, especially double positivity for H3K27me3 and EZH2, could be a poor prognostic factor for astrocytoma, IDH-mutant. These results suggest the utility of H3K27me3 and EZH2 as candidate markers for estimating the malignancy of astrocytoma, IDH-mutant.

A dual adeno-associated virus split intein system was used to successfully deliver the base editor in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our study provides a strategy for a precise genetic intervention to target the IDH1 R132H mutation, enabling the development of accurate models to study its impact on glioma biology and serving as a framework for an in vivo gene therapy.

TP53 R248Q mutation increased cell adhesion to various substrates and significantly promoted cell migration on hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate but did not change the migration rates on laminin and collagens IV and I. A double-mutant genotype produced by consequently introducing IDH1 R132H and TP53 R248Q to parental glioblastoma cells was characterized by the highest migration among all the cell lines, with particularly faster motility on chondroitin sulfate. These findings underscore the complex interactions between glioma cells, with the most important driver mutations and specific ECM components regulating cancer cell migration, offering valuable insights for potential therapeutic targets in glioma treatment.

Although the morphological findings and the presence of fusion indicated that the tumor was a cerebellar AG, the DNA methylome profile did not match that of AG. An accumulation of more cases is needed to determine the precise nature of the tumor, which may lead to an expansion of the tumor concept.

This study shows that the incorporation of molecular testing can considerably improve brain tumor diagnoses in Nigeria. Furthermore, this study highlights the diagnostic challenges in resource-limited settings and what is at stake in the global disparities of brain tumor diagnosis.

These mutations are targetable using agents such as ivosidenib and vorasedinib in AML... The Biocartis Idylla IDH1-2 mutation assay shows good concordance with ddPCR and an LOD of 2.5% VAF. Though the analytical sensitivity of this assay is lower than ddPCR, this may not be a limitation in acute, newly diagnosed patients presenting with increased blast counts. This assay offers the advantage of direct specimen testing for PB and BM without DNA extraction with faster turnaround time than other methods.

The Idylla IDH1-2 Mutation Assay Kit performed on the Biocartis Idylla system demonstrated a rapid and cost-effective alternative to the standard approaches. This assay can be used to evaluate clinically relevant IDH variants in a much shorter turnaround time and from limited biological samples, which makes this a preferred technique to develop clinical tests for diagnosis, prognosis, and evaluation of treatment in AML.

Molecular diagnostics through CGP testing served as an aid in diagnosis according to WHO2021. Cases where drug suggestions were feasible underwent treatment with targeted molecular therapies and checkpoint inhibitor. We experienced cases where hereditary cancer syndromes such as Lynch syndrome were diagnosed through the detection of germline pathogenic variants.
