Non-invasive detection of somatic mutations using next-generation sequencing in primary central nervous system lymphoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) have recurrent genomic alterations. The main objective of our study was to demonstrate that targeted sequencing of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) released by PCNSL at the time of diagnosis could identify somatic mutations by next-generation sequencing (NGS).

Patients and methods

PlasmacfDNA and matched tumor DNA (tDNA) from 25 PCNSL patients were sequenced using an Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (Life Technologies®). First, patient-specific targeted sequencing of identified somatic mutations in tDNA was performed. Then, a second sequencing targeting MYD88 c.T778C was performed and compared to plasma samples from 25 age-matched control patients suffering from other types of cancer.

Results

According to the patient-specific targeted sequencing, eight patients (32% [95% CI 15-54%]) had detectable somatic mutations in cfDNA. Considering MYD88 sequencing, six patients had the specific c.T778C alteration detected in plasma. Using a control group, the sensitivity was 24% [9-45%] and the specificity was 100%. Tumor volume or deep brain structure involvement did not influence the detection of somatic mutations in plasma.

Conclusion

This pilot study provided evidence that somatic mutations can be detected by NGS in the cfDNA of a subset of patients suffering from PCNSL.

Project description:IntroductionMultiple primary melanomas (MPM) occur up to 8% of patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). They are often sporadic harbouring several somatic mutations, but also familial cases harbouring a CDKN2A germline mutation have been describe in Caucasian populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence, the distribution patterns and the impact of known and unknown germline and somatic mutations in patients with MPM from Italy.Materials and methodsOne-hundred and two MPM patients were enrolled for germline mutation analysis, and five patients with at least four MPMs were identified for somatic mutation analysis. The demographic, pathologic and clinical features were retrieved from medical records. Molecular analysis for both germline and somatic mutations was performed in genomic DNA from peripheral blood and tissue samples, respectively, through a next generation sequencing approach, using a specific multiple-gene panel constructed by the Italian Melanoma Intergroup for somatic analysis and a commercial cancer hotspot panel for somatic analysis.ResultsCDKN2A mutations were detected in 6/16 (37.5%) and 3/86 (3.5%) MPM cases with and without family history for melanoma, respectively. Furthermore, multiple MC1R and, to a lesser extent, ATM variants have been identified. BAP1 variants were found only in MPM patients from southern Italy. The most frequent somatic variants were the pathogenic BRAFV600E and TP53, followed by KIT, PIK3CA, KDR, and NRAS. Single APC, ERBB4, MET, JAK3 and other variants with unknown function were also detected.ConclusionsCDNK2A mutation is the most relevant susceptibility mutation in Italian patients with MPM, especially those with a family history for CMM. The prevalence of this mutation and other sequence variants identified in this study varies among specific sub-populations. Furthermore, some heterogeneity in driver somatic mutations between sporadic MPMs has been observed, as well as in a number of associated sequence variants the clinical impact of which needs to be further elucidated.
