The prognosis for relapsed or refractory childhood cancer is approximately 20%. Genetic alterations are one of the significant contributing factors to the prognosis of patients.
To investigate the molecular profile of relapsed or refractory childhood cancers in Thai cases.
The study design is a descriptive study of patients <18 years old, suspected or diagnosed of relapsed or refractory childhood cancer who underwent whole exome sequencing (WES).
WES was successfully performed in both the tumor and the blood or saliva samples obtained from 4 unrelated patients. Six different variants were identified in the , , , and genes. These alterations were found to be associated with tumor aggressiveness.
This study is the first one to demonstrate genetic alterations by using WES in relapsed or refractory childhood cancer in Thai cases.
复发或难治性儿童癌症的预后约为20%。基因改变是影响患者预后的重要因素之一。
研究泰国复发或难治性儿童癌症病例的分子特征。
本研究为描述性研究,纳入年龄<18岁、疑似或诊断为复发或难治性儿童癌症且接受了全外显子组测序(WES)的患者。
成功对4例无关患者的肿瘤及血液或唾液样本进行了WES。在 、 、 和 基因中鉴定出6种不同变异。这些改变与肿瘤侵袭性相关。
本研究是首次在泰国复发或难治性儿童癌症病例中运用WES证实基因改变。
