Germline cytotoxic lymphocytes defective mutations in Chinese patients with lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Certain patients with lymphoma may harbor mutations in perforin 1 (PRF1), unc-13 homolog D (UNC13D), syntaxin 11 (STX11), STXBP2 (syntaxin binding protein 2) or SH2 domain containing 1A (SH2D1A), which causes functional defects of cytotoxic lymphocytes. Data regarding the association between genetic defects and the development of lymphoma in Chinese patients are limited to date. In the present study, 90 patients with lymphoma were analyzed for UNC13D, PRF1, STXBP2, STX11, SH2D1A and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis. Mutations were observed in 24 (26.67%) patients; 16 patients exhibited mutations in UNC13D, 7 exhibited PRF1 mutations, and 1 exhibited monoallelic mutation in STX11. UNC13D c.2588G>A/p.G863D mutation was detected in 9 patients (10.00%) and in 4/210 controls (1.90%). This mutation was predicted to be pathogenic and it predominantly existed in the Chinese population. These findings suggest that impaired cytotoxic machinery may represent a predisposing factor for the development of lymphoma. Furthermore, these data describe a distinct mutation spectrum in Chinese patients with lymphoma, whereby UNC13D is the most frequently mutated gene. In addition, these findings suggest UNC13D c.2588G>A mutation is a founder mutation in Chinese patients.

Project description:IntroductionEmerging evidence has suggested that inherited factors are also involved in lung cancer development. However, most studies focused on well-elucidated cancer predisposition genes, the majority of which are tumor suppressor genes. The profile of germline mutations in oncogenic driver genes remains unrevealed, which might also provide potential clinical implications for lung cancer management.MethodsSequencing data from 36,813 unselected lung cancer patients who underwent somatic mutation profiling were retrospectively reviewed. All recruited patients had matched white blood cell samples sequenced in parallel using a capture-based panel including eight key lung cancer driver genes (epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase (MET), Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS), Erb-B2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2(ERBB2), ROS proto-oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1), ret proto-oncogene (RET), and B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF)). Likely pathogenic/pathogenic (LP/P) variants were called according to the classification criteria of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) located in the kinase domains of driver genes and occurring recurrently (n ≥3) were also included for further analyses.ResultsSeven different LP/P variants in EGFR, MET, or RET were identified in 0.03% of lung cancer patients (n = 14) and 25 different VUS in the kinase domains of seven driver genes (except KRAS) were found with a prevalence of 0.3% (n = 117).Collectively, germline mutations were most frequently seen in ROS1 (n = 31, 0.084%), followed by MET (n = 23, 0.062%), EGFR (n = 22, 0.06%), ALK (n = 22, 0.06%) and RET (n = 17, 0.046%). LP/P variants and VUS fell the most commonly in EGFR (n = 10, 72%) and ROS1 (n = 31, 26%), respectively. Of the 10 patients with EGFR LP/P germline mutation, 70% also acquired somatic EGFR driver mutation exon21 p.L858R or exon19 deletion at baseline; while the three patients with pathogenic germline RET mutation displayed distinct baseline somatic profiles of rare EGFR mutation or KRAS exon2 p.G12C. We discovered 11 germline mutations that also occurred somatically, including four LP/P variants and seven VUS.ConclusionWe present the first study to systemically characterize the germline mutation in oncogenic driver genes in a large cohort of unselected patients with lung cancers.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of BRCA1/2 gene variants and evaluate the clinical and pathological characteristics associated with these variants in Chinese Hakka breast cancer patients.MethodsA total of 409 breast cancer patients were analyzed based on next-generation sequencing results, with 337 categorized as non-carriers and 72 as carriers of BRCA1/2 variants. Data on the patients' BRCA1/2 gene mutation status, clinical and pathological characteristics, as well as menstrual and reproductive information, were collected, analyzed, compared, and tabulated. Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the relationship between clinical characteristics and pathogenic variants.ResultsAmong the patients, 72 were identified as carriers of pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in BRCA1/2, while 337 had likely benign or benign mutations. The BRCA1 c.2635G > T (p. Glu879*) variant was detected at a high frequency, accounting for 12.5% (4/32) of the BRCA1 mutations, while the c.5164_5165del (p.Ser1722Tyrfs*4) variant was common among the BRCA2 mutations, accounting for 17.5% (7/40). It was observed that a higher proportion of BRCA1 carriers had the triple-negative breast cancer subtype, whereas more BRCA2 carriers exhibited estrogen receptor (ER) + and progesterone receptor (PR) + subtypes. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a family history of cancer (OR = 2.36, 95% CI = 1.00-5.54), bilateral cancer (OR = 4.78, 95% CI 1.61-14.20), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)- (OR = 8.23, 95% CI 3.25-20.84), and Ki67 ≥ 15% (OR = 3.88, 95% CI 1.41-10.65) were associated with BRCA1/2 mutations, with the age at diagnosis, age at menarche, and premenopausal status serving as covariates.ConclusionsThe most common pathogenic variant of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 in breast cancer patients was c.2635G > T and c.5164_5165del, respectively. Additionally, a family history of cancer, bilateral cancer, HER2-, and Ki67 ≥ 15% were identified as independent predictors of BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants.
