Purpose The present study aimed to evaluate the genetic diagnostic yield and accuracy of exome sequencing in Chinese patients with split hand–foot malformation(SHFM),a severe heterogeneous congenital anomaly characterized by hypodevelopment of the central ray of the hands and feet.Methods A cohort of seven families and five sporadic patients with SHFM was investigated.Genomic DNA was prepared from the peripheral blood of affected as well as unaffected individuals.Whole exome sequencing(WES)was performed to identify the pathogenic mutations.Array-based comparative genomic hybridization(aCGH),CytoScan,quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR),and Sanger sequencing were performed to validate the findings of WES.WES data of an additional cohort of 24 patients with non-SHFM congenital hand anomalies were analyzed as the control.Results Pathogenic variants of TP63,c.G956A p.R319H,and c.T602A:p.L201H,were identified in two families by WES.In the remaining patients,copy number analysis of the WES data by XHMM software identified pathogenic 10q 24 duplication in five individuals from three families,which was further validated via CytoScan and qPCR;however,WES could not detect duplication in 10q24 in an additional cohort of 24 individuals with non-SHFM congenital hand anomaly.Importantly,qPCR analysis of the 10q24 region copy number revealed a definite consistency with WES data in all individuals.Genotype–phenotype analysis did not present any unique feature that could differentiate between the families with TP63 mutation and 10q24 duplication.Conclusions Our study demonstrated that WES is an accurate and sensitive method to detect the pathogenic 10q24 duplication.Collectively,with TP63 mutation,a single WES testing could yield a diagnosis rate of about 40%(5/12)for the SHFM patients,at least in our cohort.As the genotype–phenotype correlation remains unclear,WES could be used as a cost-effective method for the genetic diagnosis of SHFM. 展开更多

Tumor vaccination is a promising approach for tumor immunotherapy because it presents high specificity and few side effects.However,tumor vaccines that contain only a single tumor antigen can allow immune system evasion by tumor variants.Tumor antigens are complex and heterogeneous,and identifying a single antigen that is uniformly expressed by tumor cells is challenging.Whole tumor cells can produce comprehensive antigens that trigger extensive tumor-specific immune responses.Therefore,tumor cells are an ideal source of antigens for tumor vaccines.A better understanding of tumor cell-derived vaccines and their characteristics,along with the development of new technologies for antigen delivery,can help improve vaccine design.In this review,we summarize the recent advances in tumor cell-derived vaccines in cancer immunotherapy and highlight the different types of engineered approaches,mechanisms,administration methods,and future perspectives.We discuss tumor cell-derived vaccines,including whole tumor cell components,extracellular vesicles,and cell membrane-encapsulated nanoparticles.Tumor cell-derived vaccines contain multiple tumor antigens and can induce extensive and potent tumor immune responses.However,they should be engineered to overcome limitations such as insufficient immunogenicity and weak targeting.The genetic and chemical engineering of tumor cell-derived vaccines can greatly enhance their targeting,intelligence,and functionality,thereby realizing stronger tumor immunotherapy effects.Further advances in materials science,biomedicine,and oncology can facilitate the clinical translation of tumor cell-derived vaccines. 展开更多
