Personalized radiomics signature to screen for KIT-11 mutation genotypes among patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors: a retrospective multicenter study by Qing-Wei Zhang, Ran-Ying Zhang, Zhi-Bo Yan, Yu-Xuan Zhao, Xin-Yuan Wang, Jing-Zheng Jin, Qi-Xuan Qiu, Jie-Jun Chen, Zhen-Hui Xie, Jiang Lin, Hui Cao, Yan Zhou, Hui-Min Chen, Xiao-Bo Li

“…In addition, the KIT-11 mutation genotype was classified into 4 categories: no KIT-11 mutation (K11-NM), point mutations or duplications (K11-PM/D), KIT-11 557/558 deletions (K11-557/558D), and KIT-11 deletion without codons 557/558 involvement (K11-D). Subsequently, radiomic signatures (RS) were generated based on the arterial phase of contrast CT, which were then developed as KIT-11 mutation predictors using 1408 quantitative image features and LASSO regression analysis, with further evaluation of its predictive capability. …”

Molecular and Serological Characterization of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)-Positive Samples with Very Low or Undetectable Levels of HBV Surface Antigen by Mary C. Kuhns, Vera Holzmayer, Mark Anderson, Anne L. McNamara, Silvia Sauleda, Dora Mbanya, Pham T. Duong, Nguyen T. T. Dung, Gavin A. Cloherty

“…A total of 21/27 (77.8%) of HBsAgNx(+) OBI carried S escape mutations, insertions, or stop codons. HSLD had more PreS1 and fewer S substitutions compared to both HBsAgNx(−) and HBsAgNx(+) OBI. …”

Population-specific HLA impact in immune control of HIV in Mexico and non-Mexican HIV infected cohorts by Juarez Molina, C

“…Sequence analysis showed a large quantity of stop codons, most located within <em>env</em> which may explain the lack of infectivity. …”

Systemic chemotherapy with or without cetuximab in patients with resectable colorectal liver metastasis (New EPOC): Long-term results of a multicentre, randomised, controlled, phas... by Bridgewater, JA, Pugh, SA, Maishman, T, Eminton, Z, Mellor, J, Whitehead, A, Stanton, L, Radford, M, Corkhill, A, Griffiths, GO, Falk, S, Valle, JW, O'Reilly, D, Siriwardena, AK, Hornbuckle, J, Rees, M, Iveson, TJ, Hickish, T, Garden, OJ, Cunningham, D, Maughan, TS, Primrose, JN, Brown, E

“…Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with KRAS wild-type (codons 12, 13, and 61) resectable or suboptimally resectable colorectal liver metastases and a WHO performance status of 0–2 were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive chemotherapy with or without cetuximab before and after liver resection. …”
