Article Abstract
The implementation of high-throughput diagnostic sequencing has led to the generation of large amounts of mutational data, making their interpretation more complex and responsible for long delays. It has been important to prioritize certain analyses, particularly those of "actionable" genes in diagnostic situations, involving specific treatment and/or management. In our project, we carried out an objective assessment of the clinical actionability of genes involved in myopathies, for which only few data obtained methodologically exist to date. Using the ClinGen Actionability criteria, we scored the clinical actionability of all 199 genes implicated in myopathies published by FILNEMUS for the "National French consensus on gene Lists for the diagnosis of myopathies using next generation sequencing". We objectified that 63 myopathy genes were actionable with the currently available data. Among the 36 myopathy genes with the highest actionability scores, only 8 had been scored to date by ClinGen. The data obtained through these methodological tools are an important resource for strategic choices in diagnostic approaches and the management of genetic myopathies. The clinical actionability of genes has to be considered as an evolving concept, in relation to progresses in disease knowledge and therapeutic approaches.

Background: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis, molecular heterogeneity, and therapy resistance. Key biomarkers such as EGFR, ALK, KRAS, and PD-1 have revolutionized precision oncology; however, comprehensive structural and clinical validation of these targets is crucial to enhance therapeutic efficacy.
Methods: Protein sequences for EGFR, ALK, KRAS, and PD-1 were retrieved from UniProt and modeled using SWISS-MODEL to generate high-confidence 3D structures.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal malignancies, with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Recent advances in cancer genomic analysis enable the identification of actionable gene alterations, opening new opportunities for personalized therapy. Among these, homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR) gene alterations are associated with distinct biological behavior, favorable prognosis, and increased sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is a standard first-line treatment for stage IV NSCLC without actionable oncogenic alterations. mutations, prevalent in 30% to 40% lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD) in Western populations, currently lack targeted first-line therapies. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of mutations for clinical outcomes after distinct ICB regimens, validating our previous findings in a larger cohort with extended follow-up.

Clinical trials are essential to advancing cancer control, yet access and participation remain unequal globally. The World Health Organization (WHO) established the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) to enable a complete view of interventional clinical research for all those involved in healthcare decision-making and to identify actionable goals to equitable participation at the global level. A review of 89,069 global cancer clinical trials registered in the WHO ICTRP between 1999 and December 2022 revealed a cancer clinical trial landscape dominated by high-income countries and focused on pharmacological interventions, with multinational collaboration limited to only 3% of recruiting trials.
