Article Abstract

This study aimed to estimate A-STR mutation rates in 2,317 Korean parent-child trios by examining 20 Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) core loci (D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D21S11, CSF1PO, FGA, TH01, TPOX, vWA, D1S1656, D2S441, D2S1338, D10S1248, D12S391, D19S433, and D22S1045) and three non-CODIS loci (Penta E, Penta D, and SE33). Locus-specific mutation rate estimates varied from 0.00 to 8.63 × 10 per generation, with an average mutation rate of 1.62 × 10 (95 % CI, 1.39-1.88 × 10). We also combined data from previous studies to obtain comprehensive genetic values for the Korean population, and the average mutation rate was 1.59 × 10 (95 % CI, 1.38-1.82 × 10). Single-step mutations (95.69 %) and double-step mutations (3.35 %) were observed in the mutation pattern analysis, and cases expected to have multi-step mutations (0.96 %) were also observed. Large-sized alleles exhibited more loss mutations than gain mutations, and paternal mutations (62.68 %) were more frequently observed than maternal mutations (19.62 %). The calculated values and features of the 23 A-STRs explored in this study are expected to play a crucial role in establishing criteria for forensic genetic interpretation.

Zygotes are used to create genetically modified animals by electroporation using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. Such zygotes in rats are obtained from superovulated female rats after mating. Recently, we reported that in vivo-fertilized zygotes had higher cryotolerance and developmental ability than in vitro-fertilized zygotes in Sprague Dawley (SD) and Fischer 344 rats.

Background: The use of third-generation different tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is considered the most effective option for treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. However, there is limited information on the efficacy and safety of aumolertinib in patients remains these cases.

Methods: The clinical records of patients receiving aumolertinib as first-line therapy across four hospitals in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from April 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, using progression-free survival (PFS) as the primary endpoint and overall survival (OS) representing the secondary endpoint.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor, and EGFRvIII mutation has been associated with treatment resistance and poor prognosis, highlighting the need for more effective therapeutic strategies. We conducted a random-effects Bayesian network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of treatments for EGFRvIII-positive recurrent GBM (rGBM), evaluating overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR). Seven clinical trials were included ( = 716).

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare and severe intestinal motility disorder with poor long-term prognosis and high mortality rate, especially when the small intestine is involved. Due to the non-specificity of clinical symptoms, CIPO has long faced diagnostic challenges. With the advancements of sequencing technology, many hereditary CIPOs have been identified.

Pyrazinamide (PZA) plays a crucial role in the treatment of both active and latent tuberculosis, particularly in regimens designed to treat drug-resistant TB. However, diagnosing resistance to PZA poses challenges for managing TB, highlighting the need for accurate detection methods. This study aims to address the challenges in detecting PZA resistance by modifying the standard MGIT960 PZA drug susceptibility testing method by optimizing the inoculum dilution.
