  • The PSA (KLK3) genetic variant rs17632542 is associated with reduced prostate cancer risk and lower serum PSA levels, although the underlying reasons are unclear. Here, the authors show that this PSA variant reduced proteolytic activity and leads to smaller tumours, but also increases invasion and bone metastasis, indicating its dual risk association depending on tumour context; the variant is associated with both lower risk and poor clinical outcomes.

  • A study of genome evolution in a metastatic breast cancer bearing an activating PIK3CA mutation, following treatment with the PI(3)Kα inhibitor BYL719, shows that all metastatic lesions, when compared to the pre-treatment tumour, had lost a copy of PTEN; parallel genetic evolution of separate sites with different PTEN genomic alterations had led to a convergent PTEN-null phenotype resistant to PI(3)Kα inhibition.
