We compared cell-free DNA (cfDNA) results at MBC diagnosis in patients who developed brain metastases (BM) vs those without (non-BM) to understand genomic predictors of BM. Patients with cfDNA testing at MBC diagnosis (Guardant360®, 73 gene next generation sequencing) were identified. Clinical and genomic features of BM and non-BM were compared (Pearson's/Wilcoxon rank sum tests). Eighteen of 86 patients (21%) with cfDNA at MBC diagnosis developed BM. Comparing BM vs non-BM, a higher prevalence of BRCA2 (22% vs 4.4%, p = 0.01), APC (11% vs 0%, p = 0.005), CDKN2A (11% vs 1.5%, p = 0.05), and SMAD4 (11% vs 1.5%, p = 0.05) was observed. Seven of 18 BM had ≥1 of the following 4 mutations in baseline cfDNA: APC, BRCA2, CDKN2A or SMAD4 vs 5/68 non-BM (p = 0.001). Absence of this genomic pattern had a high negative predictive value (85%) and specificity (93%) in excluding BM development. Baseline genomic profile varies in MBC that develops BM.
我们比较了发生脑转移(BM)的转移性乳腺癌(MBC)患者与未发生脑转移(非BM)患者在MBC诊断时的游离DNA(cfDNA)结果,以了解BM的基因组预测指标。确定了在MBC诊断时进行cfDNA检测的患者(Guardant360®,73基因下一代测序)。比较了BM和非BM的临床和基因组特征(Pearson检验/ Wilcoxon秩和检验)。86例在MBC诊断时进行cfDNA检测的患者中有18例(21%)发生了BM。比较BM与非BM,观察到BRCA2(22%对4.4%,p = 0.01)、APC(11%对0%,p = 0.005)、CDKN2A(11%对1.5%,p = 0.05)和SMAD4(11%对1.5%,p = 0.05)的患病率更高。18例BM中有7例在基线cfDNA中具有以下4种突变中的≥1种:APC、BRCA2、CDKN2A或SMAD4,而非BM组为5/68(p = 0.001)。这种基因组模式的缺失在排除BM发生方面具有较高的阴性预测值(85%)和特异性(93%)。发生BM的MBC患者的基线基因组谱有所不同。
