Patients of African heritage have fewer actionable mutations

Drug Discovery World

Genetic sequencing To assess these alterations in groups of different ancestries, Walch and colleagues analysed targeted DNA sequencing data from 4,441 patients treated for colorectal cancer at MSK between 2014 and 2022. Tumours were sequenced using MSK-IMPACT, a gene sequencing panel that looks for mutations in up to 505 genes.

Gene therapy specialist bluebird exits “untenable” European market

pharmaphorum

The decision was taken by the UUS regulator after a case of a rare blood cancer (myelodysplastic syndrome) was seen in a patient treated with Skysona that probably arose as a result of the lentiviral vector used to deliver the gene therapy. That process is also due to complete before year-end, said Leschly.

Researchers investigate genetic variants linked to paediatric diseases 

Drug Discovery World

Samples from individuals enrolled in multiple rare disease cohorts that have remained undiagnosed after short-read whole exome sequencing will be examined using HiFi WGS. . The study will also explore epigenetic variation using the ability of HiFi WGS to measure DNA methylation in every sequencing run. .
