ABSTRACT
Objectives:
The pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are a group of clinically heterogeneous neoplasms. Although previous studies illustrated the somatic mutation pattern for PanNETs, the germline mutation pattern is still unclear. Here, we comprehensively screened the underlying germline mutations in a cohort of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)-related and sporadic PanNETs to reveal the characteristics of germline mutation in PanNET patients.Methods:
Patients diagnosed with PanNETs by biopsy or surgical pathology were enrolled in this study. Peripheral blood samples were used for genomic DNA purification and subsequent sequencing. The following sequencing techniques were used and compared for validation (1) targeted gene capture with a customized panel; (2) whole exome sequencing data from previous study.Results:
A total of 184 PanNET patients were enrolled, including 20 MEN1-related and 164 sporadic cases. In this study, MEN1 mutation rate in MEN1-related PanNETs was 60% (12/20), of which 50% were novel mutation sites. For sporadic PanNETs, the overall germline mutation rate was very low. Besides the rare MEN1 mutation, previously unreported germline variant in DAXX was found in one non-functional PanNET.Conclusions:
This study revealed distinctive germline mutation rates between MEN1-related and sporadic PanNETs. The novel MEN1 mutations contribute to revealing the spectrum of MEN1 mutations in PanNETs. The newly discovered germline variant of DAXX in sporadic PanNET implies a tendency of convergence between germline and somatic mutation genes.
