ABSTRACT
To characterize the somatic alterations of papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) in Chinese patients, we performed the next-generation-sequencing (NGS) study of the tumor-normal pairs of DNA and RNA samples extracted from 16 Chinese PTC patients. The whole genome sequencing (WGS) and transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) were conducted for 6 patients who were either current or former smokers and the whole exome sequencing (WES) and RNA-seq were conducted for another 10 patients who were never smokers. The NGS data were analyzed to identify somatic alteration events that may underlie PTC in Chinese patients. We identified a number of PTC driver genes harboring somatic driver mutations with significant functional impact such as COL11A1, TP53, PLXNA4, UBA1, AHNAK, CSMD2 and TTLL5 etc. Significant driver pathways underlying PTC were found, namely, the metabolic pathway, the pathway in cancer, the olfactory transduction pathway and the calcium signaling pathway. In addition, this study revealed genes with significant somatic copy number aberrations and corresponding somatic gene expression changes in PTC tumors, the most promising ones being BRD9, TRIP13, FZD3, and TFDP1 etc. We also identified several structural variants of PTCs, especially the novel in-frame fusion proteins such as TRNAU1AP-RCC1, RAB3GAP1-R3HDM1, and ENAH-ZSWIM5. Our study provided a list of novel PTC candidate genes with somatic alterations that may function as biomarkers for PTC in Chinese patients. The follow-up mechanism studies may be conducted based on the findings from this study.
