Abstract
We report a case of Mismatch Repair Deficiency (MMRD) caused by germline homozygous EPCAM deletion leading to tissue-specific loss of MSH2. Through the use of patient-derived cells and organoid technologies, we performed stepwise in vitro differentiation of colonic and brain organoids from reprogrammed EPCAMdel iPSC derived from patient fibroblasts. Differentiation of iPSC to epithelial-colonic organoids exhibited continuous increased EPCAM expression and hypermethylation of the MSH2 promoter. This was associated with loss of MSH2 expression, increased mutational burden, MMRD signatures and MS-indel accumulation, the hallmarks of MMRD. In contrast, maturation into brain organoids and examination of blood and fibroblasts failed to show similar processes, preserving MMR proficiency. The combined use of iPSC, organoid technologies and functional genomics analyses highlights the potential of cutting-edge cellular and molecular analysis techniques to define processes controlling tumorigenesis and uncovers a new paradigm of tissue-specific MMRD, which affects the clinical management of these patients.

Abstract
Here we report the discovery of MED6-189, a new analogue of the kalihinol family of isocyanoterpene (ICT) natural products. MED6-189 is effective against drug-sensitive and -resistant P. falciparum strains blocking both intraerythrocytic asexual replication and sexual differentiation. This compound was also effective against P. knowlesi and P. cynomolgi. In vivo efficacy studies using a humanized mouse model of malaria confirms strong efficacy of the compound in animals with no apparent hemolytic activity or apparent toxicity. Complementary chemical biology, molecular biology, genomics and cell biological analyses revealed that MED6-189 primarily targets the parasite apicoplast and acts by inhibiting lipid biogenesis and cellular trafficking. Genetic analyses in P. falciparum revealed that a mutation in PfSec13, which encodes a component of the parasite secretory machinery, reduced susceptibility to the drug. The high potency of MED6-189 in vitro and in vivo, its broad range of efficacy, excellent therapeutic profile, and unique mode of action make it an excellent addition to the antimalarial drug pipeline.

Abstract
Natural variability in menstrual cycle length, coupled with rapid changes in endometrial gene expression, makes it difficult to accurately define and compare different stages of the endometrial cycle. Here we develop and validate a method for precisely determining endometrial cycle stage based on global gene expression. Our 'molecular staging model' reveals significant and remarkably synchronised daily changes in expression for over 3400 endometrial genes throughout the cycle, with the most dramatic changes occurring during the secretory phase. Our study significantly extends existing data on the endometrial transcriptome, and for the first time enables identification of differentially expressed endometrial genes with increasing age and different ethnicities. It also allows reinterpretation of all endometrial RNA-seq and array data that has been published to date. Our molecular staging model will significantly advance understanding of endometrial-related disorders that affect nearly all women at some stage of their lives, such as heavy menstrual bleeding, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and recurrent implantation failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the short- and long-term outcome of late-preterm compared with term birth in twin pregnancy. METHODS This retrospective observational cohort study included all women who had a twin delivery between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2010 recorded in the claims database of the Korea National Health Insurance, with at least one follow-up recorded in the database of the National Health Screening Program for Infants and Children. Outcomes were analyzed at the pregnancy level, with adverse outcome being defined as an adverse outcome in one or both twins, identified by a diagnosis according to the International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision. The primary short-term outcome was composite morbidity, which included any of the following: transient tachypnea, respiratory distress syndrome, necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hemorrhage and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Long-term adverse outcome included any neurological or neurodevelopmental outcome, defined by prespecified neurological and developmental diagnoses; these were assessed by following up all neonates until the end of 2018, by which time they were 8-11 years of age. Outcomes were compared between twins delivered late preterm (34 + 0 to 36 + 6 weeks) and those delivered at term (≥ 37 weeks). RESULTS Among 17 189 women who delivered twins at ≥ 34 weeks of gestation during the study period, 5032 (29.27%) women delivered in the late-preterm period. On multivariate analysis, compared with the twins delivered at term, the late-preterm twins had an increased risk for the primary short-term outcome of composite morbidity (adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 2.09; 95% CI, 1.90-2.30), including transient tachypnea (aOR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.64-2.09), respiratory distress syndrome (aOR, 2.31; 95% CI, 2.04-2.62), necrotizing enterocolitis (aOR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.20-3.69) and intraventricular hemorrhage (aOR, 2.13; 95% CI, 1.46-3.11). For the long-term outcome, the late-preterm twins also had an increased risk for any neurological or neurodevelopmental outcome (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.07-1.21). CONCLUSIONS Twins delivered in the late-preterm period have an increased risk for short- and long-term morbidity compared with twins delivered at term. These results should be considered when determining the timing of delivery in uncomplicated twin pregnancy. © 2021 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin aging is caused by numerous factors that result in structural and functional changes in cutaneous components. Research has shown that senescent cells are known to accumulate in skin aging, however, the role of senescent cells in skin aging has not been defined. OBJECTIVES To elucidate the role of senescent cell in skin aging, we evaluated the effect of known senolytic drugs on senescent dermal fibroblasts. METHODS Primary human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) were induced to senescence by long-term passaging, UV irradiation, and H2O2 treatment. Cell viability was measured after treatment of ABT-263 and ABT-737 on HDFs. Young and aged hairless mice were intradermally injected with drugs or vehicle on the dorsal skin for 10 days. Skin specimens were obtained and reverse-transcription quantitative PCR, western blotting, and histological analysis were performed. RESULTS We found that ABT-263 and ABT-737 induced selective clearance of senescent dermal fibroblasts, regardless of the method of senescence induction. Aged mouse skin treated with ABT-263 or ABT-737 showed increased collagen density, epidermal thickness, and proliferation of keratinocytes, as well as decreased senescence-associated secretory phenotypes, such as MMP-1 and IL-6. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, our results indicate that selective clearance of senescent skin cells can attenuate and improve skin aging phenotypes and that senolytic drugs may be of potential use as new therapeutic agents for treating aging of the skin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis. Although hypomethylating agents (HMA) have improved survival in higher-risk MDS, most patients eventually succumb to progressive disease. Utilizing samples collected prospectively from three MDS clinical trials, we analyzed genetic and immunological biomarkers and correlated them with clinical outcomes. METHODS 154 samples were analyzed from 133 de novo MDS patients for T-cell and myeloid cell immunophenotyping and gene expression analysis. Treatments were with HMA or immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) alone or in combination. RESULTS We observed differences in immune cell subsets between lower and higher risk IPSS groups with NKT cells, MDSCs, intermediate-proinflammatory and non-classical monocytes being higher in the latter group while naïve CD4+ T-cells were reduced. Intermediate-proinflammatory monocytes were increased in non-responders and those failing to achieve at least a hematological improvement. Pro-inflammatory NKT cells were increased at diagnosis for patients failing to derive clinical benefit after 12 months of treatment. Gene expression analysis of paired bone marrow (BM) colony-forming units (CFUs) from diagnosis and 4 cycles post-treatment confirmed that genes involved in cytokine signaling were downregulated in C4 normal colonies. CONCLUSIONS These findings support the central roles of dysregulation in innate immunity and inflammatory signaling in the pathogenesis of MDS which correlated with clinical outcomes post-treatment.

Abstract
Molecular dispersions are a highly effective method of increasing bioavailability for a poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and can be prepared on a large scale by hot melt extrusion (HME). Processing thermally labile active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) via HME is generally more difficult, with operating temperatures limited to below that of the API melting point. API melting is considered essential to facilitate the formation of a fully homogeneous amorphous system. Processing below the melting point renders the system much more susceptible to residual crystalline content; hence, HME is not suitable for APIs which degrade upon melting. In the following work, meloxicam (MEL) was used as a model API, possessing properties of high melting temperature and thermal lability. In this proof of concept work, a modified HME method, termed solvent-assisted HME, was used to overcome this issue and prepare an amorphous solid dispersion using HME, wherein a solvent was incorporated in the formulation blend during extrusion and removed post-processing. Formulations containing 10%wt meloxicam (MEL) and 90%wt polyvinylpyrrolidone vinyl acetate (PVPVA) copolymer were extruded using a twin-screw extruder at temperatures below the melting point of MEL. Dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent was added directly into the extruder barrel through a liquid addition port, resulting in extrudate products having a higher conversion of API to the amorphous form. The incorporation of solvent allowed a significant reduction in processing temperatures due to its increased mobility, while also driving the conversion of the API to its amorphous form. The solvent was successfully reduced through a secondary drying step using a vacuum oven. This advancement has demonstrated the potential for thermally labile APIs to be processed via HME expanding the applications of this technology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stent-assisted coiling of intracranial aneurysms arising from small vessels (≤ 2.0 mm) is a common procedure. However, data regarding its treatment outcomes are scarce. This study evaluated the clinical and radiologic outcomes of stent-assisted coiling using low-profile stents for aneurysms of small parent arteries. MATERIALS AND METHODS From November 2015 to October 2020, sixty-four patients with 66 aneurysms arising from parent arteries of ≤2.0 mm were treated with stent-assisted coiling using a Low-Profile Visualized Intraluminal Support Junior (LVIS Jr) or the Neuroform Atlas stent in a single institution. The clinical and radiologic data were retrospectively reviewed, and the risk factors for procedure-related complications were evaluated. RESULTS The LVIS Jr and Neuroform Atlas stents were used in 22 (33.3%) and 44 (66.7%) cases, respectively. Technical success was achieved in 66 cases (100%). Immediate postprocedural aneurysm occlusion grades assessed by the Raymond-Roy occlusion classification were I (57.6%), II (19.7%), and III (22.7%), respectively. Procedure-related complications occurred in 10 cases (15.2%), with 8 thromboembolic complications (12.1%) and 2 hemorrhagic complications (3.0%). Procedure-related morbidity was 4.5% without mortality. On multivariate analysis, current smoking (odds ratio = 7.1, P = .021) had a statistically significant effect on procedure-related complications. CONCLUSIONS Stent-assisted coiling of intracranial aneurysms with low-profile stents in small vessels (≤ 2.0 mm) had a 100% success rate and a 15.2% overall complication rate with 4.5% morbidity. Current smoking was a significant risk factor associated with procedure-related complications.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Is there any difference on the ZMP between the fertilized and the non-fertilized oocytes in an IVM cohort?
Summary answer
The zona pellucida (zp_g) , cytoplasm greyscale(cm_g),the cytoplasm size (cm_size), radius (cm_r) and deviation (cm_d) showed different patterns from the two groups.
What is known already
We developed a convolutional neural network (CNN) based algorithm that provides instant and bias-free analytical outcomes of oocyte morphological segmentation. The mature but not-fertilized oocytes tend to be static while the fertilized oocytes are more dynamic for preparing its following biological events.
Study design, size, duration
This was a case-control study on oocytes including 631 normal fertilized oocytes and 100 IVM oocytes from 01/08/2017 to 31/12/2019 conducted in the Prince of Wales Hospital, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
We used the convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm to segment the ZMPs of the cytoplasm and zona pellucida of the oocytes. The ZMPs include cm_g, cm_size, cm_r, cm_d, zp_g, thickness of zona pellucida and the area of perivitelline space. For the ZMPs that did not change with time, we used t-test to test the significance and for the parameters changed with time we used dynamic warp timing and similarity test to find the difference.
Main results and the role of chance
The IVM group had a higher intensity of zp_g of 142.03 (128.52–158.70) compared with the fertilized group of 137.04 (121.69–154.37). The cm_g of IVM group was higher than fertilized group [122.55 (114.87–137.62) vs 119.37(108.88–132.87)]. The cm_size, cm_r and cm_d as parameters changed with time and showed a different pattern in two groups. The IVM group decreased the cm_size faster than the fertilized group but the fertilized group had a more dynamic change in the shape of cytoplasm (cm_d) during the development. The cm_r changed with the same pattern of cm_size provided evidence supporting the finding above.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The ZMPs in the IVM group was captured for 21 hours from the first polar body extrusion. Though the duration was similar to the one from fertilized to the first cleavage. The morphology change during that period may not represent the holistic one of IVM oocytes.
Wider implications of the findings: The IVM oocytes have different morphokinetic performance from fertilized oocytes. We used a novel method based on CNN to confirm the differences between the two groups showing that our algorithm was able to describe the morphokinetic changes in a quantitative way and corresponded with embryologist’s experience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal polyps in the nasal cavity and mucous discharge inside the maxillary sinus exhibit compressive stress on the nasal mucosal epithelium. However, there have been only a few studies on how compressive stress impacts the human nasal mucosal epithelium. METHODOLOGY We investigated the effect of compressive stress on collective migration, junctional proteins, transepithelial electri- cal resistance, epithelial permeability, and gene expression in well-differentiated normal human nasal epithelial (NHNE) cells and human nasal polyp epithelial (HNPE) cells. RESULTS NHNE cells barely showed collective migration at compressive stress up to 150 mmH20. However, HNPE cells showed much greater degree of collective migration at a lower compressive stress of 100 mmH20. The cell migration of HNPE cells sub- jected to 100 mmH2O compression was significantly decreased at day 3 and was recovered to the status prior to the compressive stress by day 7, indicating that HNPE cells are relatively more sensitive to mechanical pressure than NHNE cells. Compressive stress also increased transepithelial electrical resistance and decreased epithelial permeability, indicating that the compressive stress disturbed the structural organization rather than physical interactions between cells. In addition, we found that compressive stress induced gene expressions relevant to airway inflammation and tissue remodelling in HNPE cells. CONCLUSION Taken together, these findings demonstrate that compressive stress on nasal polyp epithelium is capable of inducing collective migration and induce increased expression of genes related to airway inflammation, innate immunity, and polyp remo- delling, even in the absence of inflammatory mediators.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Postoperative acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a catastrophic complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). There is limited data on the incidence and outcomes of AIS complicating CABG in the contemporary era, and whether these have changed over the years.
Purpose
To study the incidence and outcomes of postoperative AIS in a nationally representative cohort of CABG procedures over a 12-year period and examine predictors of AIS in patients undergoing CABG.
Methods
The National Inpatient Sample was used to identify all adult patients (>18 years old) who underwent CABG in the United States between January 2004 and September 2015. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to examine the associations between postoperative AIS and in-hospital mortality and identify predictors of AIS after CABG, expressed as odds ratios (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Results
A total of 2,569,597 CABG operations were analysed. The incidence of postoperative AIS was 1.8% (n=47,279) in the overall cohort increasing from 1.2% in 2004 to 2.3% in 2015 (p<0.001). Significantly higher rates of AIS were observed amongst patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and those undergoing non-elective or concomitant valve operations over the study period (see Figure). Patient risk profiles increased over time in both AIS and no-AIS cohorts, with higher Charlson comorbidity scores observed amongst AIS patients. AIS was independently associated with increased odds of in-hospital mortality (OR 3.03, 95% CI 2.93, 3.13) and prolonged hospital stay (∼6 more days) and a higher hospitalisation cost (∼$80,000 more) (p<0.001 for all). Several factors were predictors of AIS including age>60 years (61–70 years: OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.29, 1.37; 71–80 years: OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.44, 1.54; >80 years: OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.37, 1.48), female sex (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.31, 1.36) and AF (OR 1.14 95% CI 1.12, 1.16) (p<0.001 for all). In contrast, on-pump CABG was not an independent predictor of stroke (OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.94, 1.09) (p=0.784).
Conclusion
In this nationally representative study, we have shown that the rates of postoperative stroke following CABG have increased over time in line with complexity of patient risk profiles. The present findings emphasise the need for further work on strategies to reduce the risk of postoperative stroke after CABG.

Abstract
Locoregional therapies (lrts) play an important role in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc), with the aim of increasing overall survival while preserving liver function. Various forms of lrt are available, and choosing the best one depends on technical aspects, liver morphology, tumour biology, and the patient's symptoms. The purpose of the present review article is to provide an overview of the current evidence relating to the use of percutaneous ablation, transarterial chemoembolization, and transarterial radioembolization for the curative or palliative treatment of hcc. Special situations are also reviewed, including the combined use of systemic therapy and lrt, indications and techniques for bridging to transplant and downstaging, and the use of lrt to treat patients with hcc and macrovascular invasion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As chest reconstructions in Poland syndrome are performed for patients at young ages, patients are generally concerned about conspicuous scars. Meanwhile, a robotic-assisted latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle harvest with inconspicuous scars has been performed for autologous breast reconstruction. As our experience with robotic-assisted LD flap harvest has increased over the years, we have made improvements in surgical techniques to optimize results. The purpose of this study was to introduce and identify the role of the refined robotic-assisted LD muscle flap harvest technique in autologous chest reconstruction in patients with Poland syndrome. METHODS Autologous chest reconstruction using a robotic-assisted LD muscle flap harvest was performed for 21 patients with Poland syndrome. Subjective assessments were performed to evaluate improvement in chest deformity, patient satisfaction with overall outcomes, chest symmetry, and scars. Assessments by the operator and two independent evaluating investigators were carried out with patients' photographs. The complication rates and the time for robotic surgery were also evaluated. RESULTS At the last visit, the average patient grades for improvement in chest deformity, satisfaction with overall outcomes, chest symmetry, and scars were 4.80, 4.72, 4.18, and 4.87, respectively. Assessments by the operator and two independent evaluating investigators demonstrated that improvement in chest deformity was achieved in all patients. No serious complications such as flap loss were recorded for any patient. The time for robotic surgery markedly decreased as experience accumulated. CONCLUSIONS Surgical refinements for robotic-assisted LD flap harvest might be effective and reduce operative times for patients with Poland syndrome.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Increasing evidence links daily variability in sleep schedules to increased cardiometabolic risk. Little is known, however, regarding sociodemographic and behavioral correlates of irregular sleep schedules that may help identify causes or consequences of irregular sleep.
Methods
Among 1,946 participants from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, we examined the cross-sectional associations of irregular sleep schedules with sociodemographic, lifestyle, dietary factors, and actigraphy-based indices of rest-wake rhythms using multiple linear regression with adjustment for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, income, marital status and work schedules. Sleep regularity was assessed using standard deviations (SD) in actigraphy-measured sleep duration and sleep onset timing across 7 days.
Results
Compared to Whites, the 7-day sleep duration SD (95% CI) was 17.4min (12.6, 22.2) higher in African-Americans, 10.4min (4.8, 16.0) higher in Hispanics and 7.9min (1.3, 14.4) higher in Chinese. Shift versus regular work was associated with 11.4min (5.1, 17.7) higher sleep duration SD. Irregular sleep duration was associated with lower income (p=0.006), higher depressive symptoms (p<0.0001), higher BMI (p=0.004) and current smoking (p=0.06). Higher sleep duration variability was associated with lower Alternative Healthy Eating Index (p=0.01), mainly due to suboptimal intakes of fruits, whole grains and nuts/legumes. No associations were observed for age, sex, education, marital status or number of meals per day. While sleep duration variability was not associated with self-reported physical activity level or actigraphy-measured 7-day mean activity count, sleep duration SD was inversely associated with relative amplitude (difference between the most versus the least active period; p<0.0001) and inter-daily stability (synchronization between rest-activity patterns and environmental zeitgebers; p<0.0001) of 24-h rest-activity patterns. Similar results were observed for sleep onset timing SD.
Conclusion
Substantial differences by sociodemographic factors exist regarding the consistency of day-to-day sleep schedules. Irregular sleep schedules are associated with overall circadian disruption across the day and some unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. Future studies are needed to understand temporal relationships of the observed associations.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Paradigm shifts in sleep research suggest the importance of considering multi-dimensional sleep health, compared to single metrics, to promote physical and mental well-being and to understand racial/ethnic disparities in sleep.
Methods
We used data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA; n = 1,740) to create a Sleep Health Score (SHS), including questionnaire (quality, sleepiness); 7-day actigraphy (total sleep time, sleep continuity [sleep maintenance efficiency], timing consistency [midpoint variability], fragmentation, wake after sleep onset, sleep onset latency); and in-home polysomnography (%N3 sleep, %REM sleep, AHI). Sleep parameters were dichotomized based on prior literature or by healthiest quartile(s), with positive values denoting healthier sleep (e.g. Epworth scores < 10). All 11 dichotomized parameters were summed to calculate the SHS (mean=4.9, sd=1.58). We used modified Poisson and linear regression for individual sleep outcomes and the SHS, respectively, adjusting for age and sex.
Results
The sample was older (mean age=68.28, sd=9.08) and 54% female. SHSs were associated with Black race (β=-0.60 [-0.78, -0.42]) and Hispanic ethnicity (β=-0.40 [-0.59, -0.21]), but not Chinese ethnicity (β=-0.16 [-0.41, 0.08]). Compared to Whites (n=644), Blacks (n=485) showed lower adjusted probability of obtaining favorable levels of: sleep continuity, fragmentation, timing consistency, alertness/sleepiness, and sleep depth (%N3 sleep). Chinese respondents (n=202) had lower probability of obtaining favorable levels of: sleep continuity and timing consistency, but higher probability of quality. Hispanics (n=409) had lower probability of obtaining healthy levels of: sleep continuity, timing consistency, and fragmentation. Neither healthy total sleep time (middle quartiles) nor AHI (<30) differed by race/ethnicity.
Conclusion
Among MESA-Sleep participants, summary SHSs were lowest in Blacks, followed by Hispanics. Multiple dimensions of sleep - particularly related to continuity and timing consistency - were less favorable across race/ethnic minority groups. A summary SHS may help monitor sleep health across populations, while measurement of specific sleep components may help identify modifiable targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Flow-diverter treatment for previously stented aneurysms has been reported to be less effective and prone to complications. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness and safety of flow diverters for recurrent aneurysms after stent-assisted coiling. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent flow-diverter placement for recurrent aneurysms after stent-assisted coiling between March 2015 and March 2019 were recruited. Clinical and radiographic characteristics and clinical and angiographic outcomes were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS Among 133 patients who underwent flow-diverter insertion, 17 (male/female ratio = 5:12; mean age, 53.8 years) were treated for recurrent aneurysms after stent placement with (n = 16) or without (n = 1) coiling. Eight patients initially presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage; 7, with headache; and 2, with visual field defects. Angiographic morphology included large/giant saccular in 12 patients, dissecting in 2, fusiform in 1, traumatic pseudoaneurysm in 1, and ruptured blood blister-like aneurysm in 1. The duration between the first treatment and flow-diverter placement ranged from 2 weeks to 15 months (median, 6 months). Flow-diverter placement was successful in all cases without any complications. All patients had favorable outcomes (mRS, 0-2), without any newly appearing symptoms. Aneurysms were followed up with conventional angiography at least once in 6-18 months. Sixteen aneurysms showed complete occlusion, and 1 aneurysm was enlarged. CONCLUSIONS Results from this case series investigating flow-diverter placement for recurrent aneurysms after stent-assisted coiling suggested that the procedure is safe and effective. Further study in a larger population may be warranted.

Abstract
Background Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) as a disease entity distinct from invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) has merited focused studies of the genomic landscape, but those to date are largely limited to the assessment of early-stage cancers. Given that genomic alterations develop as acquired resistance to endocrine therapy, studies on refractory ILC are needed. Patients and methods Tissue from 336 primary-enriched, breast-biopsied ILC and 485 estrogen receptor (ER)-positive IDC and metastatic biopsy specimens from 180 ILC and 191 ER-positive IDC patients was assayed with hybrid-capture-based comprehensive genomic profiling for short variant, indel, copy number variants, and rearrangements in up to 395 cancer-related genes. Results Whereas ESR1 alterations are enriched in the metastases of both ILC and IDC compared with breast specimens, NF1 alterations are enriched only in ILC metastases (mILC). NF1 alterations are predominantly under loss of heterozygosity (11/14, 79%), are mutually exclusive with ESR1 mutations [odds ratio = 0.24, P < 0.027] and are frequently polyclonal in ctDNA assays. Assessment of paired specimens shows that NF1 alterations arise in the setting of acquired resistance. An in vitro model of CDH1 mutated ER-positive breast cancer demonstrates that NF1 knockdown confers a growth advantage in the presence of 4-hydroxy tamoxifen. Our study further identified a significant increase in tumor mutational burden (TMB) in mILCs relative to breast ILCs or metastatic IDCs (8.9% >20 mutations/mb; P < 0.001). Most TMB-high mILCs harbor an APOBEC trinucleotide signature (14/16; 88%). Conclusions This study identifies alteration of NF1 as enriched specifically in mILC. Mutual exclusivity with ESR1 alterations, polyclonality in relapsed ctDNA, and de novo acquisition suggest a role for NF1 loss in endocrine therapy resistance. Since NF1 loss leads to RAS/RAF kinase activation, patients may benefit from a matched inhibitor. Moreover, for an independent subset of mILC, TMB was elevated relative to breast ILC, suggesting possible benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors.
