To describe the clinical and molecular features of metastatic colorectal cancers (mCRCs) bearing uncommon atypical (At-) mutations at codons other than 12, 13, 59, 61, 117, and 146.
By exploiting five next-generation sequencing sources (Italian collaboration, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Samsung Medical Center, the Biomarker Research for Anti-EGFR Monoclonal Antibodies by Comprehensive Cancer Genomics (BREAC) study, and the Foundation Medicine database), we retrieved 175 At- mutated cases. Molecular data were obtained from 163 samples from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the Foundation Medicine database. Clinical data were available for 27 At--positive and 467 negative cases from the Italian collaboration, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Samsung Medical Center, and the BREAC study.
At- mutations were identified in 163 (0.9%) of 18,270 mCRCs. Among 133 with evaluable microsatellite instability status, 11 (8%) were microsatellite instability high. POLE exonuclease domain mutations had higher frequency (7%) than expected and were found only in microsatellite-stable tumors with high tumor mutational burden (TMB). Overall, 17% (28 of 163) of At- cases had TMB greater than 20 mutations/Mb. Co-occurring typical /BRAF V600E mutations and mutations, presumed to cause RAS activation, were found in 30% and 12% of samples, respectively (up to 43% and 50%, respectively, in TMB-high samples). Patients with wild-type mCRC achieved a median overall survival (OS) of 42.1 months, whereas those harboring isolated At-, typical , or BRAF V600E mutations showed a median OS of 32.3, 30.0, and 17.9 months, respectively ( < .001). No significant OS difference ( = .240) was found between patients with At- versus typical -mutated mCRC. Only one of six patients evaluable for primary resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptors achieved tumor response.
At- mutations may be a marker for RAS pathway activation and can be associated with high co-occurrence of POLE exonuclease domain mutations.
描述在第12、13、59、61、117和146密码子以外发生罕见非典型(At-)突变的转移性结直肠癌(mCRC)的临床和分子特征。
通过利用五个二代测序来源(意大利合作项目、纪念斯隆凯特琳癌症中心、三星医疗中心、综合癌症基因组学抗表皮生长因子受体单克隆抗体生物标志物研究(BREAC)以及Foundation Medicine数据库),我们检索到175例At-突变病例。分子数据来自纪念斯隆凯特琳癌症中心和Foundation Medicine数据库的163个样本。临床数据来自意大利合作项目、纪念斯隆凯特琳癌症中心、三星医疗中心和BREAC研究的27例At-阳性和467例阴性病例。
在18270例mCRC中,163例(0.9%)检测到At-突变。在133例可评估微卫星不稳定性状态的病例中,11例(8%)为微卫星高度不稳定。POLE核酸外切酶结构域突变的频率(7%)高于预期,且仅在具有高肿瘤突变负荷(TMB)的微卫星稳定肿瘤中发现。总体而言,17%(163例中的28例)的At-病例TMB大于20个突变/Mb。分别在30%和12%的样本中发现了同时存在的典型/KRAS V600E突变和推测导致RAS激活的NRAS突变(在TMB高的样本中分别高达43%和50%)。KRAS野生型mCRC患者的中位总生存期(OS)为42.1个月,而携带孤立At-、典型KRAS或BRAF V600E突变的患者中位OS分别为32.3、30.0和17.9个月(P<0.001)。At-突变与典型KRAS突变的mCRC患者之间未发现显著的OS差异(P=0.240)。在6例可评估抗表皮生长因子受体原发性耐药性的患者中,只有1例出现肿瘤反应。
At-突变可能是RAS通路激活的标志物,并且可能与POLE核酸外切酶结构域突变的高共现率相关。
