    Biochemical, structural and mutational landscapes of base excision repair enzymes and cancer: from atomic resolution to tumor signatures. (PubMed, Int J Radiat Biol)
    This review aims to summarize recent structural, biochemical, and genomic insights into three base excision repair enzymes, MUTYH DNA glycosylase, NTHL1 DNA glycosylase, and DNA polymerase β. This review outlines how MUTYH, NTHL1 and DNA polymerase β protect the genome from mutagenesis, highlights major germline variants associated with disease, and synthesizes the current knowledge on the characteristic single base substitution (SBS) mutational signatures that occur when these repair enzymes are dysfunctional.

    Characterization of the molecular and clinical features of Multilocus Inherited Neoplasia Allelic Syndrome (MINAS) cases in the Turkish population. (PubMed, Fam Cancer)
    While phenotypes often align with the most penetrant allele, spesific instances may hint at the potential for synergistic effects in certain individuals. Management should transition toward personalized, multi-variant surveillance strategies incorporating both SNV and CNV data.

    Pathogenic germline variants identified in pNEN patients during genetic testing. (PubMed, Endocr Oncol)
    Our findings suggest that germline testing may play a role in the standard-of-care management of pNEN. MUTYH alterations merit further evaluation as a potential risk factor for pNEN.

    Germline Cancer Testing in Unselected Patients With Neuroendocrine Neoplasms: A Multi-center Prospective Study. (PubMed, Pancreas)
    Universal germline testing in unselected NEN patients identified clinically relevant PGVs in over 15% of cases. These findings support broader genetic testing approaches to guide treatment, enhance familial risk assessment, and inform cascade testing-regardless of traditional clinical selection criteria.

    Germline Predisposition in Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors: Insights from a Multigene Panel Study. (PubMed, Oncol Res)
    Germline P/LP mutations were identified in 15.7% of Korean children and AYAs with CNS tumors, most commonly in gliomas and other CNS tumors. Our findings highlight the molecular heterogeneity of germline predisposition in CNS tumors and emphasize the importance of germline testing for risk assessment and surveillance.

    Health actions after direct-to-consumer genetic testing for medically actionable conditions. (PubMed, Genet Med Open)
    Most individuals receiving medically actionable results through DTC-GT had no prior knowledge of their genetic health risks, despite many reporting a relevant personal and/or family history. When individuals shared results with HCPs and received medical recommendations, adherence was high.

    Therapeutic potential of Amentoflavone against myostatin for skeletal muscle atrophy treatment: An in silico, in vitro, and in vivo study. (PubMed, Phytomedicine)
    AMF interacts with MSTN, inhibiting its downstream signaling, promoting myogenic differentiation, and alleviating muscle atrophy, highlighting its potential as a natural therapeutic for muscle-wasting conditions. Through computational modeling, MD simulations, and experimental validation, AMF demonstrates strong binding to MSTN, with confirmed efficacy in both in vitro and in vivo studies.

    Frequent Detection of KRAS-G12C and PIK3CA-Q546K Mutations in MAP Tumors Highlights their Role in MUTYH Variants of Uncertain Significance Reclassification. (PubMed, Hum Mutat)
    Among the three-suspected MAP cases with VUS, two harbored somatic KRAS-G12C and/or PIK3CA-Q546K, providing sufficient evidence to reclassify MUTYH VUS p.Pro301Arg and p.Trp113Arg as likely pathogenic based on ACMG/AMP criteria. These findings support the use of KRAS-G12C and PIK3CA-Q546K as cost-effective, accessible tumor biomarkers for aiding in MAP diagnosis and MUTYH VUS reclassification, particularly in settings with limited access to whole-exome/genome mutational signature analysis.

    Rectifying referrals: genetics testing is underutilized in rectal cancer patient care. (PubMed, Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent))
    This study demonstrates poor facility-level adherence with MSI/MMR testing recommendations and poor patient-level compliance with genetic referrals in rectal cancer. When recommendations were met, patients with germline mutations benefited from adjustments to their disease management.
