Expanded carrier screening: counseling and considerations
Abstract The primary goal of carrier screening is to identify asymptomatic individuals who carry variants associated with genetic diseases, to inform about the risk of having a child with a genetic disease. Carrier screening can be accomplished through different approaches including ethnicity-based screening, pan-ethnic screening, and expanded carrier screening (ECS), and the decision to pursue carrier screening is voluntary. ECS takes a broad approach by screening for a large...

Mutational signatures and mutagenic impacts associated with betel quid chewing in oral squamous cell carcinoma
Abstract Betel quid (BQ) chewing is a prevailing risk for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in Southeast Asia. Yet, the detailed mechanisms by which BQ chewing damages the genome are still not fully understood. Through exome sequencing of tumor–normal pairs from 196 male patients with OSCC, including 95 habitual BQ chewers and 101 non-BQ users, we conducted a quantitative survey of mutational signatures and genomic aberrations and explored their association with BQ chewing. We...
