    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to confirm NeuMoDx™ SARS-CoV-2 assay (NeuMoDx assay) functionality using off-label collection media, determine assay performance versus other SARS-CoV-2 RNA assays, and assess any cross-reactivity with other respiratory viruses (human coronavirus NL63, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus).
    Methods: Nasopharyngeal swab samples in off-label collection media and external quality assessment (EQA) samples were dual-tested, first using either the RealStar® SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay or the QIAstat-Dx® Respiratory SARS-CoV-2 Panel and then using the NeuMoDx assay. Samples found to be positive for respiratory viruses and negative for SARS-CoV-2 were then tested using the NeuMoDx assay to assess cross-reactivity.
    Results: Overall, 274 samples (244 patient and 30 EQA samples) were dual-tested; 154 were SARS-CoV-2 positive and 120 were negative. No false-positive or false-negative results were identified, regardless of collection medium used. The NeuMoDx assay sensitivity was 100% (95% confidence interval [CI] 97.63-100.00) and the specificity was 100% (95% CI 96.97-100.00). The assay did not exhibit any cross-reactivity with other respiratory viruses.
    Conclusion: The NeuMoDx assay demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity on a platform well-suited for fully automated SARS-CoV-2 testing.

    Abstract Purpose: Choriocarcinoma is most commonly gestational (androgenetic or biparental) but can be of germ cell origin or can develop as a component of a somatic neoplasm (genetically related to the patient). The latter type are aggressive neoplasms for which the underlying genetic alterations are not well characterized.
    Experimental design: To investigate the relationship between the different components of somatic neoplasms with choriocarcinomatous elements, the genetic differences between gestational and nongestational tumors, and identify potential targetable alterations, we analyzed 23 samples from 11 tumors, including five gynecologic-type somatic neoplasms with choriocarcinomatous differentiation (two to three different components each) and six pure choriocarcinomas, for somatic mutations, single-nucleotide polymorphisms, and PD-L1 expression.
    Results: In mixed tumors, gynecologic-type carcinoma components demonstrated lineage-characteristic and lineage-specific alterations, with choriocarcinomatous components sharing some of these as well as demonstrating novel alterations, supporting a clonal relationship with divergent differentiation of the choriocarcinoma from the somatic carcinoma.
    Conclusions: Given that the somatic carcinomatous and choriocarcinomatous components of mixed tumors have distinct genetic alterations and biomarker expression, separate analysis of these components is required to guide targeted therapy. High PD-L1 expression suggests a role for checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapy in tumors with a choriocarcinoma component. The underlying mechanisms by which cancer stem cells reprogram and initiate trophoblastic retrodifferentiation in some somatic tumors warrant further investigation.
