The objective of this study was to evaluate the viability of a POCT kit. In only 42 min, we successfully identified the <i>GJB2</i> mutation site c.235delC by integrating CRISPR-Cas nucleic acid detection with recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) and a lateral flow dipstick (LFD) method. This method has the capacity to detect low-abundance nucleic acids (as low as 10<sup>2</sup> copies/μL) and low mutation frequency (20%), in addition to accurately distinguishing wild-type, homozygous, and heterozygous mutation. This approach was utilized to assess blood samples from a total of 31 deaf patients and 5 healthy volunteers. All results were subsequently confirmed through the implementation of Sanger sequencing. Our detection results were consistent with Sanger sequencing results. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 100%.

This study aimed to explore ABI3BP's role in NSCLC and its impact on these pathways. We found that ABI3BP expression was significantly reduced in NSCLC cells compared to normal controls. Overexpression of ABI3BP in NSCLC cells resulted in a substantial reduction in cell growth and motility and induced cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, its overexpression suppressed the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in NSCLC cells. In addition, ABI3BP overexpression inhibited the MAPK/ERK pathway in NSCLC cells. Collectively, ABI3BP functions as a tumor suppressor in NSCLC by targeting the MAPK/ERK axis, thereby regulating cell proliferation, motility, and EMT.
