PGRNseq: a targeted capture sequencing panel for pharmacogenetic research and implementation.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:Although the costs associated with whole-genome and whole-exome next-generation sequencing continue to decline, they remain prohibitively expensive for large-scale studies of genetic variation. As an alternative, custom-target sequencing has become a common methodology on the basis of its favorable balance between cost, throughput, and deep coverage. METHODS:We have developed PGRNseq, a custom-capture panel of 84 genes with associations to pharmacogenetic phenotypes, as a tool to explore the relationship between drug response and genetic variation, both common and rare. We utilized a set of 32 diverse HapMap trios and two clinical cohorts to assess platform performance, accuracy, and ability to discover novel variation. RESULTS:We found that PGRNseq generates ultra-deep coverage data (mean=496x) that are over 99.8% concordant with orthogonal datasets. In addition, in our testing sets, PGRNseq identified many novel, rare variants of interest, underscoring its value in both research and clinical settings. CONCLUSION:PGRNseq is an ideal platform for carrying out sequencing-based analyses of pharmacogenetic variation in large cohorts. In addition, the high accuracy associated with genotypes from PGRNseq highlight its utility as a clinical test.

Project description:Identification of targetable molecular changes is essential for selecting appropriate treatment in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: In this study, a Sanger sequencing plus Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) sequential approach was compared with a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based approach for the detection of actionable genomic mutations in an experimental cohort (EC) of 117 patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Its applicability was assessed in small biopsies and cytology specimens previously tested for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutational status, comparing the molecular changes identified and the impact on clinical outcomes. Subsequently, an NGS-based approach was applied and tested in an implementation cohort (IC) in clinical practice. Using Sanger and FISH, patients were classified as EGFR-mutated (n = 22, 18.8%), ALK-mutated (n = 9, 7.7%), and unclassifiable (UC) (n = 86, 73.5%). Retesting the EC with NGS led to the identification of at least one gene variant in 56 (47.9%) patients, totaling 68 variants among all samples. Still, in the EC, combining NGS plus FISH for ALK, patients were classified as 23 (19.7%) EGFR; 20 (17.1%) KRAS; five (4.3%) B-Raf proto-oncogene (BRAF); one (0.9%) Erb-B2 Receptor Tyrosine Kinase 2 (ERBB2); one (0.9%) STK11; one (0.9%) TP53, and nine (7.7%) ALK mutated. Only 57 (48.7%) remained genomically UC, reducing the UC rate by 24.8%. Fourteen (12.0%) patients presented synchronous alterations. Concordance between NGS and Sanger for EGFR status was very high (? = 0.972; 99.1%). In the IC, a combined DNA and RNA NGS panel was used in 123 patients. Genomic variants were found in 79 (64.2%). In addition, eight (6.3%) EML4-ALK, four (3.1%), KIF5B-RET, four (3.1%) CD74-ROS1, one (0.8%) TPM3-NTRK translocations and three (2.4%) exon 14 skipping MET Proto-Oncogene (MET) mutations were detected, and 36% were treatable alterations. Conclusions: This study supports the use of NGS as the first-line test for genomic profiling of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma.
