Moreover, though CRISPR knockout screening, it is found that concurrent AKT blockade significantly augmented the antitumor effects of the WEE1 inhibitor. In conclusion, WEE1 inhibition offers a promising therapeutic strategy for ARID1A/TP53 concurrent mutant CRC.

Such an approach could significantly improve early diagnosis and treatment outcomes. Moreover, uncovering the mechanisms linking pancreatic cancer aggressiveness with DNA repair deficiencies may lead to the development of specific biomarkers, enabling early detection and potentially improving patient survival.

This study underscores the sensitivity of FM-HCR assays in detecting subtle biological differences and establishes standardized methodologies for population research. The findings and open-source tools advance precision health by enabling comprehensive exploration of genetic and environmental determinants of DRC, supporting targeted interventions to maintain genomic integrity.

The EZH2 histone methyltransferase inhibitors tazemetostat and valemetostat have recently received approval for clinical use in follicular lymphoma and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, respectively. Mechanistically, EZH2 inhibition in B cells depletes the repressive histone modification H3K27me3 while concurrently enhancing the active histone modification H3K27ac, thereby selectively increasing transcriptional activity and facilitating chromosomal translocation formation in the presence of high AID activity or Ligase4 deficiency. These findings highlight the impact of drugs that induce epigenetic changes to influence chromosomal translocations and demonstrate the genetic safety of EZH2 inhibitors as monotherapy while highlighting the increased risk of genomic instability when used in cells prone to translocations, such as B cells with high AID levels or DNA-repair deficiency.

These include androgen receptor signaling inhibitors such as enzalutamide and abiraterone acetate, taxane-based chemotherapies including docetaxel and cabazitaxel, and bone-targeting radiopharmaceuticals like radium-223. Immunotherapeutic agents have also contributed to expanding treatment options with Sipuleucel-T, a dendritic cell-based vaccine, and pembrolizumab, a PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor approved for select patient populations. Furthermore, the introduction of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors like olaparib and rucaparib, has transformed the therapeutic landscape, particularly for patients with DNA repair deficiencies in metastatic prostate cancer...In this review, we highlight adoptive cellular therapies utilizing CAR-T cells engineered to recognize prostate cancer-specific antigens, aiming to overcome immune evasion mechanisms. We summarize current CAR-T modalities with their limitations and prospects being evaluated in both preclinical and clinical settings of metastatic prostate cancer.

Clinical efforts to combine targeted radiation with synthetic lethality approaches are ongoing. Tailoring radiopharmaceutical therapy to individual tumor DNA repair profiles offers a promising paradigm to improve outcomes and expand therapeutic windows in advanced prostate cancer.

Here, we review and debate aspects of the contribution of splicing in the 5' segment to BRCA2 functions in the context of PVs affecting this largely intrinsically disordered protein region, with a focus on recent findings in individuals with FA-D1. In this Perspective, we also discuss some of the broader biological implications and open questions that arise from considering 5'-terminal BRCA2 splicing in light of old and new findings from FA-D1 patients and beyond.

Collectively, our data indicates that biallelic MCM9 variants are associated with polyposis, gastric cancer, and early-onset CRC, while both biallelic MCM8 and MCM9 variants are linked to hypogonadism and the early development of germ cell tumors. These findings underscore the importance of including MCM8/MCM9 in diagnostic gene panels for certain clinical contexts and suggest that biallelic carriers may benefit from cancer surveillance.

Overall, combining SBS and ID mutations improves detection of HR deficiency-associated signatures and reveals distinct SBS3 subtypes with prognostic value. This multimodal approach outperforms existing markers and is readily applicable to therapy stratification.

Our pioneering analysis underscores the sensitivity of FM-HCR assays for detecting subtle biological differences between individuals and establishes standardized methodologies for population studies. Our findings and open source analytical tools advance precision medicine by enabling comprehensive exploration of genetic, demographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors and supporting targeted interventions to enhance DNA repair and maintain genomic integrity, thereby promoting personalized healthcare and disease prevention.
