Functional genomics has led to an improvement of our understanding of CVD and can be translated to clinical utility. Gene-based pre-symptomatic prediction of illness, finer diagnostic sub-classifications and improved risk assessment tools will permit earlier and more targeted intervention. Pharmacogenetics will guide our therapeutic decisions and monitor response to therapy. Personalised medicine requires the integration of clinical information, stable and dynamic genomics and molecular phenotyping.
It is now possible to systematically search the entire human genome for common variants that are associated with a particular phenotype. (HGP, HAP MAP)

Adrenocortical cancer (ACC) is a rare malignancy (estimated annual incidence 0.7 to 2.0 cases per million individuals worldwide) with a poor prognosis. In contrast, Lynch Syndrome (LS) is a much more commonly encountered hereditary syndrome that predisposes individuals to colon cancer and multiple other malignancies.
Lynch syndrome (LS) describes a subset of patients with germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes (most
commonly MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2) that account for
2-4% of all colorectal cancers [1, 2] with varying phenotypes
de-pending on specific mutation. Patients with LS have an
estimated lifetime risk of 80% for developing colorectal cancer
and an in-creased risk for other extracolonic malignancies,
including endo-metrial, gastric, ovarian, pancreas, ureter and
renal pelvis, biliary tract, brain, and small intestinal cancers.2
Recently adrenocor-tical cancer (ACC), a rare and aggressive
malignancy, has been associated with LS [3-7], although the
low prevalence of ACC makes it difficult to attribute causality.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

arcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disorder,
triggered by environmental, genetic, and immu-
nologic factors, that results in the formation and
maintenance of non-necrotizing granulomatous depo-
sition. Autopsy and cardiac imaging studies estimate
that among patients with sarcoidosis, 25% have cardiac
involvement (CS). Although there is a lack of consensus
diagnostic criteria for CS, cardiac magnetic resonance
imaging (CMR) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron
emission tomography (FDG-PET) are the best nonin-
vasive diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial inflam-
mation in CS. However, even in cases of high imaging
likelihood of CS, histological analysis has confirmed the
presence of findings consistent with arrhythmogenic
cardiomyopathy.1
Previous studies have demonstrated
phenotypic overlap between arrhythmogenic right ven-
Health System and provided consent regarding access
to biological specimens, genetic sequencing, and linkage
to available electronic health record data. This study was
approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania and complied with the principles set
out in the Declaration of Helsinki. The data that support
the findings of this study are available from the corre-
sponding author upon reasonable request.

ardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is a difficult to diagnose
inflammatory heart disease, which can present with
heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias, and atrioven-
tricular block.1
Emerging evidence suggests that genetic
cardiomyopathies can mimic inflammatory cardiomyopa-
thies, including CS.2
In this context, the utility of genetic
testing has not been completely explored,3
and data are
limited regarding the prevalence of genetic cardiomyop-
athies in patients with presumed CS.4
In the largest studyto date,we retrospectively included
213 patients evaluated from May 2020 to October 2022
in our CS Clinic diagnosed with presumed CS (169 with
isolated CS; 44 with systemic involvement) as inferred
by either fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomog-
raphy—
computed tomography or cardiac magnetic reso-
nance or both. Clinical, genetic, and imaging data were
extracted from the electronic medical record. The study
was approved by an institutional review committee and

and TTN (n= 2; c.70405C>T; p.R23469X) and
(c.91774C>T; p.R30592X) genes. Two patients
had two different P/ LP variants each, one involving
MYBPC3 and MYH7,and the other one with 2 different
TTN variants. Variants of uncertain significance were
identified in 21 (45%) patients, among whom rare vari-
ants of uncertain significance (5 patients), variants of
uncertain significance present in high tier cardiomy-
opathy genes (14 patients), and variants of uncertain
significance that qualified for family segregation stud-
ies (5 patients) were identified.

We may be on the cusp of an era of astonishing innovation — the limits of
which aren’t even clear yet.
By David Wallace-Wells
June 23, 2023
Hype springs eternal in medicine, but lately the horizon of new possibility seems
“I’ve been running my research lab for almost 30 years,”
almost blindingly bright.
says Jennifer Doudna, a biochemist at the University of California, Berkeley. “And I
can say that throughout that period of time, I’ve just never experienced what we’re
seeing over just the last five years.”
A Nobel laureate, Doudna is known primarily for Crispr, the gene-editing Swiss
Army knife that has been called “a word processor” for the human genome and that
she herself describes as “a technology that literally enables the rewriting of the
code of life.” The work for which Doudna shared the Nobel Prize was published
more than a decade ago, in 2012, opening up what seemed like an almost limitless
horizon for Crispr-powered therapies and cures. But surveying the recent
landscape of scientific breakthroughs, she says the last half-decade has been more
remarkable still: “I think we’re at an extraordinary time of accelerating
