AlphaMissense pathogenicity scores predict response to immunotherapy and enhances the predictive capability of tumor mutation burden. (PubMed, Transl Oncol)
AlphaTMB improves survival prediction beyond TMB alone, better captures immunogenic tumor profiles, and reflects more accurate patient stratification. This AI derived somatic mutations pathogenicity scoring represents a step toward personalized immuno-oncology and merits further validation in prospective studies.

Extreme Tumor Mutational Burden Predicts Near-Curative Outcomes With Checkpoint Immunotherapy in Melanoma: Half the Eligible, Half the Cure. (PubMed, Pigment Cell Melanoma Res)
A super-high TMB threshold of ≥ 25 mut/Mb by MSK-IMPACT identifies a distinct subset of melanoma patients who achieve truly exceptional benefit, with nearly one in two attaining clinical cure following ICB therapy. These data support prospective validation of "hypermutation" as a clinically actionable biomarker, refine patient counseling, and inform trial stratification in the era of personalized cancer immunotherapy.

Chromosome 1p13.2 gene cluster upregulation in neuroblastoma RAS viral oncogene homolog pathogenic variant melanoma: a potential biomarker axis. (PubMed, Melanoma Res)
NRAS-mutant melanomas harbor a coordinated transcriptional program within 1p13.2, driven by CNV gains. This locus contains genes with potential druggability, offering new avenues for combinatorial targeting alongside mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway inhibition.

Distribution and prognostic impact of LymphGen subtypes in Korean diffuse large B-cell lymphoma using clinical NGS panel. (PubMed, Blood Adv)
Kaplan-Meier analysis of R-CHOP-treated patients with DLBCL-NOS revealed that those with MCD, BN2, and A53 subtypes had poorer overall survival than those with EZB and ST2, particularly among patients with concurrent MYC/BCL2 DE. Using a clinically applicable NGS panel, we successfully implemented the LymphGen classification system. This study underscores the distinct genetic landscape of Korean DLBCL and highlights the utility of LymphGen in identifying high-risk subgroups, providing a basis for prognostic stratification and therapeutic optimization.

RRAS and RRAS2 mutations are recurrent oncogenic drivers in lung cancer and are sensitive to the pan-RAS inhibitor RMC-6236. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
RRASQ87L and RRAS2Q72L are recurrent, oncogenic, and potentially actionable drivers in NSCLC. Our study supports the inclusion of RRAS/RRAS2 into routine molecular diagnostic panels for precision oncology and provides preclinical rationale for investigating the potential therapeutic utility of pan-RAS inhibitors for patients with RRASQ87L/RRAS2Q72L-mutant lung cancers.

The DDR-immune fitness score: a biomarker for guiding parp and immunotherapy synergy in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The DDR-IF score unifies measures of genomic instability and immune contexture to identify a therapeutically vulnerable subset of ES-SCLC patients most likely to benefit from PARP-ICB synergy. It represents a promising, though exploratory, framework for personalizing immunotherapy in ES-SCLC, whose clinical utility requires confirmation in prospective multicenter trials.

Subclinical Telomere Biology Disorder in Cancer Patients Heterozygous for the RTEL1 R1264H Founder Variant. (PubMed, Am J Med Genet A)
Notably, 7 individuals (22%) experienced severe or fatal therapy-related toxicities, despite many lacking other clinical features of a TBD. These findings support that RTEL1 R1264H can act in an autosomal dominant fashion and confer TBD disease risk, albeit with low penetrance, and may increase susceptibility to treatment-related complications.

Clinical and Molecular Characterization of KRAS-Mutated Renal Cell Carcinoma. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
PRNRP represents a distinct KRAS-mutant RCC subtype with unique metabolic and genomic features linked to its distal nephron origin. This contrasts with the genomic complexity and aggressive clinical behavior observed in KRAS-mutant PRCC and URCC, highlighting the need for subtype-specific diagnostic criteria and therapeutic strategies.

Somatic alterations of genitourinary malignancy of Chinese population based on tumor NGS data. (PubMed, Urol Oncol)
This study analyzed 321 tumor samples from 244 Chinese patients with genitourinary cancers using targeted NGS. Distinct mutational landscapes and PD-L1-associated genes were identified across bladder, renal, and prostate cancers. Comparative analysis with Western cohorts revealed population-specific genomic heterogeneity, supporting region-tailored precision oncology.
