Affymetrix SNP6.0 microarray data - Myelodysplastic syndromes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Mutations in the TET2 gene are frequent in myeloid disease, although their biological and prognostic significance remains unclear. We analyzed 355 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes using ‘Next-Generation’ sequencing (NGS) for TET2 aberrations; 91 of whom were also subjected to SNP6 array karyotyping. Seventy-one TET2 mutations, with a relative mutation abundance (RMA) ≥10%, were identified in 39 of 320 (12%) MDS and 16 of 35 (46%) CMML patients (p<0.001). Interestingly, 4 patients had multiple mutations likely to exist as independent clones or on alternate alleles, suggestive of clonal evolution. ‘Deeper’ sequencing of 96 patient samples identified 4 additional mutations (RMA 3%-6.3%). Importantly, TET2 mutant clones were also found in T cells in addition to CD34+ and total bone-marrow cells (23.5%, 38.5% and 43% RMA respectively). Only 20% of the TET2-mutated patients showed loss of heterozygosity at the TET2 locus. There was no difference in the frequency of genome-wide aberrations, TET2 expression or the JAK2V617F 46/1 haplotype between TET2-mutated and non-mutated patients. There was no significant prognostic association between TET2 mutations and WHO subtypes, IPSS score, cytogenetic status, or transformation to AML. On multivariate analysis, age (>50yrs) was associated with a higher incidence of TET2 mutation (p=0.02).
