Patterns of somatic uniparental disomy identify novel tumor suppressor genes in colorectal cancer

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to establish an integrative profiling of recurrent UPDs/UPPs, CNAs and genome-wide methylation status in sporadic CRC. Our results indicate that regions showing high frequencies of UPDs/UPPs mostly coincide with regions typically involved in genomic losses such as chromosome arms 1p, 5q, 8p, 14q, 17p, 18q, 20p, and 22q. Of these, chromosome arms 5q, 14q, 17p, and 20p preferentially showed UPDs/UPPs over genomic losses suggesting that tumor cells must maintain the disomic state of certain genes to favor cellular fitness. A meta-analysis using over 300 samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas confirmed our findings. In addition, the genes CSPG2, FLT4, SFRP1, DLK1, and GAS7 were frequently involved in regions of UPDs/UPPs and showed high levels of methylation revealing that UPDs/UPPs can result in the duplication of hypermethylated inactive genes. This dataset includes the array CGH of 30 colorectal cancers.
