Abstract
BACKGROUND The MLPA (multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification) technique is currently the test most widely used to detect mutations in the Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene in the initial assessment. However, several studies have suggested that MLPA results require implementing other detection methods due to false duplication. Our aim was to evaluate variables that could alter the peak ratio in MLPA in individuals with Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) who present sequence variants at the probe hybridization site, such as the location of sequence variants (SVs), melting temperature of the probe, and the type of variant. METHODS We analyzed patients with clinical suspicion of DMD/BMD through the MLPA technique. The DMD gene was sequenced in patients with normal results in MLPA. RESULTS Of 111 patients, 72 had an abnormal MLPA result, of which 10 had a single exon abnormal peak, and 39 had a normal peak ratio. Out of 10 patients, 4 (40%) with a single exon abnormal peak ratio had SV at the hybridization site of the probe. In the other 6, the deletion was confirmed. Out of 39 patients with a normal peak ratio, 11 presented SVs at the hybridization site of the probe, and DMD/BMD was confirmed. CONCLUSIONS In cases of abnormal peak ratio results of MLPA in a single exon, it would be valuable to sequence the DMD gene to assess whether variants in the probe hybridization site might result in a false positive that could be interpreted as an exon deletion.

Abstract
PURPOSE Identifying actionable oncogenic mutations have changed the therapeutic landscape in different types of tumors. This study investigated the utility of comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP), a hybrid capture-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay, in clinical practice in a developing country. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, CGP was performed on clinical samples from patients with different solid tumors recruited between December 2016 and November 2020, using hybrid capture-based genomic profiling, at the individual treating physicians' request in the clinical care for therapy decisions. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were estimated to characterize the time-to-event variables. RESULTS Patients median age was 61 years (range: 14-87 years), and 64.7% were female. The most common histological diagnosis was lung primary tumors, with 90 patients corresponding to 52.9% of the samples (95% CI 45.4-60.4%). Actionable mutations with FDA-approved medications for specific alterations correspondent to tumoral histology were identified in 58 cases (46.4%), whereas other alterations were detected in 47 different samples (37.6%). The median overall survival was 15.5 months (95% CI 11.7 months-NR). Patients who were subjected to genomic evaluation at diagnosis reached a median overall survival of 18.3 months (95% CI 14.9 months-NR) compared to 14.1 months (95% CI 11.1 months-NR) in patients who obtained genomic evaluation after tumor progression and during standard treatment (P = .7). CONCLUSION CGP of different types of tumors identifies clinically relevant genomic alterations that have benefited from targeted therapy and improve cancer care in a developing country to guide personalized treatment to beneficial outcomes of cancer patients.

Abstract
The identification of the KRAS G12C mutation in non-small cell lung cancer is relevant with new molecules being introduced for treatment. The variation of mutation prevalence among different regions indicate that certain populations are more prone to develop KRAS G12C mutations among lung cancer than others. Using genomic markers traditionally employed for the identification of individuals we managed to construct a model that was predictive for KRAS G12C mutational incidence, further indicating that appearance of KRAS G12C follows population substructures.
Background The KRAS exon 2 p. G12C mutation in patients with lung adenocarcinoma has been increasing in relevance due to the development and effectiveness of new treatment medications. Studies around different populations indicate that regional variability between ethnic groups and ancestries could play an essential role in developing this molecular alteration within lung cancer. Methods In a prospective and retrospective cohort study on samples from lung adenocarcinoma from 1000 patients from different administrative regions in Colombia were tested for the KRAS p.G12C mutation. An analysis of STR populations markers was conducted to identify substructure contributions to mutation prevalence. Results Included were 979 patients with a national mean frequency for the KRAS exon 2 p.G12C mutation of 7.97% (95%CI 6.27–9.66%). Variation between regions was also identified with Antioquia reaching a positivity value of 12.7% (95%CI 9.1–16.3%) in contrast to other regions such as Bogota DC (Capital region) with 5.4% (2.7–8.2%) and Bolivar with 2.4% (95%CI 0–7.2%) (p-value = 0.00262). Furthermore, Short tandem repeat population substructures were found for eight markers that strongly yielded association with KRAS exon 2 p.G12C frequency reaching an adjusted R2 of 0.945 and a p-value of < 0.0001. Conclusions Widespread identification of KRAS exon 2 p.G12C mutations, especially in cases where NGS is not easily achieved is feasible at a population based level that can characterize regional and national patterns of mutation status. Furthermore, this type of mutation prevalence follows a population substructure pattern that can be easily determined by population and ancestral markers such as STR.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder that affects 2-8% of pregnancies and is one of the main causes of fetal, neonatal, and maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Although PE etiology and pathophysiology remain unknown, there is evidence that the hyperactivation of maternal immunity cells against placental cells triggers trophoblast cell apoptosis and death. It has also been reported that placenta-derived extracellular vesicles (EV) carry Fas ligand (FasL) and Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and trigger apoptosis in Jurkat T cells. This study aimed to quantify and compare FasL and TRAIL expression in EV derived from cultures of placenta explants from women with PE (early versus late) and women with uncomplicated pregnancies. Also, the study assessed EV capacity to induce apoptosis in Jurkat T cells. The authors isolated EV from placenta explant cultures, quantified FasL and TRAIL using ELISA, and analyzed EV apoptosis-inducing capability by flow cytometry. Results showed increased FasL and TRAIL in EV derived from placenta of women with PE, and increased EV apoptosis-inducing capability in Jurkat T cells. These results offer supporting evidence that EV FasL and TRAIL play a role in the pathophysiology of PE.

Abstract
AIM To analyze the differential genetic expression and protein localization of thrombomodulin (THBD) and tissue factor (F3) in the placentas of pregnancies affected by preeclampsia. METHODS We assessed the expression of THBD and F3 by immunohistochemistry and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in placentas from 20 PE cases: 10 early-onset PE placentas, 10 late-onset PE placentas, and 10 control cases (normal pregnancies). RESULTS In cases, we found higher THBD and F3 RNA levels in placental tissue. Protein expression in controls differed from that in late-onset PE placentas, which had lower THBD levels in syncytiotrophoblasts and amniotic cells. Likewise, late-onset PE placentas exhibited comparatively lower F3 expression in the perivillous fibrin. In contrast, early-onset PE had high F3 expression in the subdecidual fibrin. We found no significant differences in the F3/THBD ratio between the groups. CONCLUSION Our study supports evidence that shows the involvement of F3 and THBD in placental disorders. Furthermore, this finding contributes to a better understanding of the physio-pathological role that these molecules may play in the development of this heterogeneous disease.
