Promoter-Specific Variants in NeuroD1 and H3K4me3 Coincident Regions and Clinical Outcomes of Small Cell Lung Cancer.
Neurogenic differentiation 1 (NeuroD1) is a representative small cell lung cancer (SCLC) transcription regulator involved in the carcinogenesis and behavior of SCLC. Histone modifications play an important role in transcription, and H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) is primarily associated with promoter regions. ⋯ To summarize, among SNPs selected using ChIP-seq in promoter regions with high peaks in both NeuroD1 and H3K4me3, RNF145 rs2043268A>G and CINP rs762105A>G were associated with clinical outcomes in patients with SCLC and also affected the promoter activity of each gene.

Real-World Treatment Patterns and Clinical Outcomes in Korean Patients With AML Ineligible for First-Line Intensive Chemotherapy: A Subanalysis of the CURRENT Study, a Non-Interventional, Retrospective Chart Review.
Although most elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy (ICT), treatment options remain limited. CURRENT (UMIN000037786), a real-world, non-interventional, retrospective chart review, evaluated clinical outcomes, clinicopathologic characteristics, and treatment patterns in these patients. We present results from a subanalysis of Korean patients in this study. ⋯ Clinical outcomes are poor in Korean patients with AML ineligible for ICT who are prescribed current systemic therapies or BSC. There is a substantial unmet need for novel agents (monotherapy or in combination) to improve clinical outcomes in this patient population.
