RESUMEN

Background: ELP1 pathogenic variants (PV) have been recently identified as the most frequent variants predisposing to Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) medulloblastomas (MB); however, guidelines are still lacking for genetic counseling in this new syndrome. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed clinical and genetic data of a French series of 29 ELP1-mutated MB. Results: All patients developed SHH-MB, with a biallelic inactivation of PTCH1 found in 24 tumors. Other recurrent alterations encompassed the TP53 pathway and activation of MYCN/MYCL signaling. The median age at diagnosis was 7.3 years (range: 3-14). ELP1-mutated MB behave as sporadic cases, with similar distribution within clinical and molecular risk groups and similar outcomes (5 y - OS = 86%); no unusual side effect of treatments was noticed. Remarkably, a germline ELP1 PV was identified in all patients with available constitutional DNA (n = 26); moreover, all tested familial trio (n = 11) revealed that the PVs were inherited. Two of the 26 index cases from the French series had a family history of MB; pedigrees from these patients and from 1 additional Dutch family suggested a weak penetrance. Apart from MB, no cancer was associated with ELP1 PVs; second tumors reported in 4 patients occurred within the irradiation fields, in the usual time-lapse for expected radiotherapy-induced neoplasms. Conclusions: The low penetrance, the "at risk' age window limited to childhood and the narrow tumor spectrum, question the actual benefit of genetic screening in these patients and their family. Our results suggest restricting ELP1 germline sequencing to patients with SHH-MB, depending on the parents" request.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Despite recent advances in prenatal genetic diagnosis, medical geneticists still face considerable difficulty in interpreting the clinical outcome of copy-number-variant duplications and defining the mechanisms underlying the formation of certain chromosomal rearrangements. Optical genome mapping (OGM) is an emerging cytogenomic tool with proved ability to identify the full spectrum of cytogenetic aberrations. METHODS: Here, we report on the use of OGM in a prenatal diagnosis setting. Detailed breakpoint mapping was used to determine the relative orientations of triplicated and duplicated segments in two unrelated foetuses harbouring chromosomal aberrations: a de novo 15q23q24.2 triplication and a paternally inherited 13q14.2 duplication that overlapped partially with the RB1 gene. RESULTS: OGM enabled us to suggest a plausible mechanism for the triplication and confirmed that the RB1 duplication was direct oriented and in tandem. This enabled us to predict the pathogenic consequences, refine the prognosis and adapt the follow-up and familial screening appropriately. CONCLUSION: Along with an increase in diagnostic rates, OGM can rapidly highlight genotype-phenotype correlations, improve genetic counselling and significantly influence prenatal management.

RESUMEN

About half of the human genome is composed of repeated sequences derived from mobile elements, mainly retrotransposons, generally without pathogenic effect. Familial forms of retinoblastoma are caused by germline pathogenic variants in RB1 gene. Here, we describe a family with retinoblastoma affecting a father and his son. No pathogenic variant was identified after DNA analysis of RB1 gene coding sequence and exon-intron junctions. However, RB1 mRNA analysis showed a chimeric transcript with insertion of 114 nucleotides from HPF1 gene inside RB1 gene. This chimeric transcript led to an insertion of 38 amino acids in functional domain of retinoblastoma protein. Subsequent DNA analysis in RB1 intron 17 revealed the presence of a full-length HPF1 retrogene insertion in opposite orientation. Functional assay shows that this insertion has a deleterious impact on retinoblastoma protein function. This is the first report of a full-length retrogene insertion involved in human Mendelian disease leading to a chimeric transcript and a non-functional chimeric protein. Some retrogene insertions may be missed by standard diagnostic genetic testing, so contribution of retrogene insertions to human disease may be underestimated. The increasing use of whole genome sequencing in diagnostic settings will help to get a more comprehensive view of retrogenes.

RESUMEN

In breast or ovarian cancer (BC/OC) patients with evocative personal and/or family history, multigene panel sequencing is performed on blood to diagnose hereditary predispositions. Additionally, BRCA1/BRCA2 testing can be performed on tumor sample for therapeutic purpose. The accuracy of multigene panel tumor analysis on BC/OC to detect predisposing germline pathogenic variants (gPV) has not been precisely assessed. By comparing sequencing data from blood and fresh-frozen tumor we show that tumor genomic instability causes pitfalls to consider when performing tumor testing to detect gPV. Even if loss of heterozygosity increases germline signal in most cases, somatic copy number variants (CNV) can mask germline CNV and collapse point gPV variant allele frequency (VAF). Moreover, VAF does not allow an accurate distinction between germline and somatic pathogenic variants.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Three partially overlapping breast cancer polygenic risk scores (PRS) comprising 77, 179 and 313 SNPs have been proposed for European-ancestry women by the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) for improving risk prediction in the general population. However, the effect of these SNPs may vary from one country to another and within a country because of other factors. OBJECTIVE: To assess their associated risk and predictive performance in French women from (1) the CECILE population-based case-control study, (2) BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) pathogenic variant (PV) carriers from the GEMO study, and (3) familial breast cancer cases with no BRCA1/2 PV and unrelated controls from the GENESIS study. RESULTS: All three PRS were associated with breast cancer in all studies, with odds ratios per standard deviation varying from 1.7 to 2.0 in CECILE and GENESIS, and hazard ratios varying from 1.1 to 1.4 in GEMO. The predictive performance of PRS313 in CECILE was similar to that reported in BCAC but lower than that in GENESIS (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) = 0.67 and 0.75, respectively). PRS were less performant in BRCA2 and BRCA1 PV carriers (AUC = 0.58 and 0.54 respectively). CONCLUSION: Our results are in line with previous validation studies in the general population and in BRCA1/2 PV carriers. Additionally, we showed that PRS may be of clinical utility for women with a strong family history of breast cancer and no BRCA1/2 PV, and for those carrying a predicted PV in a moderate-risk gene like ATM, CHEK2 or PALB2.

RESUMEN

First-line therapy in advanced non-small-cell-lung-cancer (NSCLC) is based on chemotherapy except for patients with a tumor proportion score for programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) of 50% or greater, pembrolizumab is administrated. However, patients with somatic-EGFR-mutated tumors had usually been excluded from clinical applications of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Germline-EGFR-mutated-patients are known to not respond to EGFR-Tyrosine-Kinase-inhibitors (TKIs). But what about germline EGFR mutations and response to ICIs? Herein, we describe the case of a long response to ICIs treatment in a complex metastatic NSCLC with co-occuring EGFR germline and KRAS somatic mutations, high PD-L1 score and a smoking history.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To provide precise age-specific risk estimates of cancers other than female breast and ovarian cancers associated with pathogenic variants (PVs) in BRCA1 and BRCA2 for effective cancer risk management. METHODS: We used data from 3,184 BRCA1 and 2,157 BRCA2 families in the Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of BRCA1/2 to estimate age-specific relative (RR) and absolute risks for 22 first primary cancer types adjusting for family ascertainment. RESULTS: BRCA1 PVs were associated with risks of male breast (RR = 4.30; 95% CI, 1.09 to 16.96), pancreatic (RR = 2.36; 95% CI, 1.51 to 3.68), and stomach (RR = 2.17; 95% CI, 1.25 to 3.77) cancers. Associations with colorectal and gallbladder cancers were also suggested. BRCA2 PVs were associated with risks of male breast (RR = 44.0; 95% CI, 21.3 to 90.9), stomach (RR = 3.69; 95% CI, 2.40 to 5.67), pancreatic (RR = 3.34; 95% CI, 2.21 to 5.06), and prostate (RR = 2.22; 95% CI, 1.63 to 3.03) cancers. The stomach cancer RR was higher for females than males (6.89 v 2.76; P = .04). The absolute risks to age 80 years ranged from 0.4% for male breast cancer to approximately 2.5% for pancreatic cancer for BRCA1 carriers and from approximately 2.5% for pancreatic cancer to 27% for prostate cancer for BRCA2 carriers. CONCLUSION: In addition to female breast and ovarian cancers, BRCA1 and BRCA2 PVs are associated with increased risks of male breast, pancreatic, stomach, and prostate (only BRCA2 PVs) cancers, but not with the risks of other previously suggested cancers. The estimated age-specific risks will refine cancer risk management in men and women with BRCA1/2 PVs.

RESUMEN

DICER1 syndrome is a rare paediatric autosomal dominant inherited disorder predisposing to various benign and malignant tumours. It is caused by a germline pathogenic variant in DICER1, and the second hit for tumour development is usually a missense hotspot pathogenic variant in the DICER1 ribonuclease IIIb domain. While DICER1 predisposing variants account for about 60% of ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumours, no DICER1-related testicular stromal tumours have been described. Here we report the first two cases of testicular stromal tumours in children carrying a DICER1 germline pathogenic variant: a case of Sertoli cell tumour and a case of Leydig cell tumour diagnosed at 2 and 12 years of age, respectively. A somatic DICER1 hotspot pathogenic variant was detected in the Sertoli cell tumour. This report extends the spectrum of DICER1-related tumours to include testicular Sertoli cell tumour and potentially testicular Leydig cell tumour. Diagnosis of a testicular Sertoli cell tumour should prompt DICER1 genetic testing so that patients with a DICER1 germline pathogenic variant can benefit from established surveillance guidelines. DICER1 genetic evaluation may be considered for testicular Leydig cell tumour. Our findings suggest that miRNA dysregulation underlies the aetiology of some testicular stromal tumours.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: DICER1 syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited syndrome predisposing to various benign and malignant tumors, mainly occurring in children and young adults, requiring broad surveillance starting at birth with repeated irradiating imaging exams and sedations for young patients. It is caused by monoallelic germline pathogenic variants in the DICER1 gene. More than 90% of tumors bear an additional somatic DICER1 missense hotspot mutation, as a second hit, involving 1 of 6 codons clustered in exons 24 and 25. We designed and in vitro validated a drop-off droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) system to scan all DICER1 hotspot codons, allowing for a liquid biopsy test, an alternative to sedation and radiation exposure. METHODS: Three drop-off ddPCR assays were designed, with 2 TaqMan probes per assay, 1 complementary to the wild-type sequence of the region containing hotspots and another 1 used as a reference. Eight tumor-derived DNAs and 5 synthetic oligonucleotides bearing DICER1 hotspot mutations were tested. RESULTS: All tested mutations were detected, with a limit of detection ranging from 0.07% to 0.31% for codons p. E1705, p. D1709, and p. D1713 in exon 24 and from 0.06% to 0.15% for codons p. G1809, p. D1810, and p. E1813 in exon 25. CONCLUSIONS: The high sensitivity of this method is compatible with its use for plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis for early tumor detection in DICER1 syndrome patients. It may reduce the need for radiation exposure and sedation in surveillance protocols and may also improve patient prognosis. Clinical trials are needed to evaluate ctDNA analysis in these patients.

RESUMEN

Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumor of the infant retina. Nearly half of patients are predisposed to retinoblastoma by a germline RB1 pathogenic variant. Nonhereditary retinoblastoma is mainly caused by inactivation of both RB1 alleles at a somatic level. Several polymorphisms have been reported as biomarkers of retinoblastoma risk, aggressiveness, or invasion. The most informative genetic testing is obtained from tumor DNA. Historically, access to tumor DNA has been warranted by the frequent indication of enucleation, which has decreased because of advances in conservative approaches. Recent studies showed that tumor cell-free DNA can be analyzed in aqueous humor from retinoblastoma patients. This report describes a next-generation sequencing method relying on unique molecular identifiers for a highly sensitive detection of retinoblastoma genetic predisposition and biomarkers in a single analysis. It is the first use of unique molecular identifiers for retinoblastoma genetics. This gene panel enables the detection of RB1 point variants, large genome rearrangements, and loss of heterozygosity. It is adapted for genomic DNA extracted from blood or tumor DNA extracted from tumor fragment, aqueous humor, or plasma. The access to tumor cell-free DNA improves the diagnosis of genetic predisposition in case of conservative ocular therapy and provides access to biomarkers guiding the treatment strategy. The analysis of a gene panel is cost-effective and can be easily implemented in diagnostic laboratories.

RESUMEN

Retinoblastoma is the most frequent intraocular malignancy in children, originating from a maturing cone precursor in the developing retina. Little is known on the molecular basis underlying the biological and clinical behavior of this cancer. Here, using multi-omics data, we demonstrate the existence of two retinoblastoma subtypes. Subtype 1, of earlier onset, includes most of the heritable forms. It harbors few genetic alterations other than the initiating RB1 inactivation and corresponds to differentiated tumors expressing mature cone markers. By contrast, subtype 2 tumors harbor frequent recurrent genetic alterations including MYCN-amplification. They express markers of less differentiated cone together with neuronal/ganglion cell markers with marked inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity. The cone dedifferentiation in subtype 2 is associated with stemness features including low immune and interferon response, E2F and MYC/MYCN activation and a higher propensity for metastasis. The recognition of these two subtypes, one maintaining a cone-differentiated state, and the other, more aggressive, associated with cone dedifferentiation and expression of neuronal markers, opens up important biological and clinical perspectives for retinoblastomas.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Diagnostic ionizing radiation is a risk factor for breast cancer (BC). BC risk increases with increased dose to the chest and decreases with increased age at exposure, with possible effect modification related to familial or genetic predisposition. While chest X-rays increase the BC risk of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers compared to non-carriers, little is known for women with a hereditary predisposition to BC but who tested negative for a BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) mutation. METHODS: We evaluated the effect of chest X-rays from diagnostic medical procedures in a dataset composed of 1552 BC cases identified through French family cancer clinics and 1363 unrelated controls. Participants reported their history of X-ray exposures in a detailed questionnaire and were tested for 113 DNA repair genes. Logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression models were used to assess the association with BC. RESULTS: Chest X-ray exposure doubled BC risk. A 3% increased BC risk per additional exposure was observed. Being 20 years old or younger at first exposure or being exposed before first full-term pregnancy did not seem to modify this risk. Birth after 1960 or carrying a rare likely deleterious coding variant in a DNA repair gene other than BRCA1/2 modified the effect of chest X-ray exposure. CONCLUSION: Ever/never chest X-ray exposure increases BC risk 2-fold regardless of age at first exposure and, by up to 5-fold when carrying 3 or more rare variants in a DNA repair gene. Further studies are needed to evaluate other DNA repair genes or variants to identify those which could modify radiation sensitivity. Identification of subpopulations that are more or less susceptible to ionizing radiation is important and potentially clinically relevant.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), a fraction of total cell-free DNA (cfDNA), might be of special interest in retinoblastoma patients. Because the accessibility to tumor tissue is very limited in these patients, either for histopathological diagnosis of suspicious intraocular masses (biopsies are proscribed) or for somatic RB1 studies and genetic counseling (due to current successful conservative approaches), we aim to validate the detection of ctDNA in plasma of non-hereditary retinoblastoma patients by molecular analysis of RB1 gene. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: In a cohort of 19 intraocular unilateral non-hereditary retinoblastoma patients for whom a plasma sample was available at diagnosis, we performed high-deep next-generation sequencing (NGS) of RB1 in cfDNA. Two different bioinformatics/statistics approaches were applied depending on whether the somatic RB1 status was available or not. RESULTS: Median plasma sample volume was 600 µL [100-1000]; median cfDNA plasma concentration was 119 [38-1980] and 27 [11-653] ng/mL at diagnosis and after complete remission, respectively. In the subgroup of patients with known somatic RB1 alterations (n = 11), seven of nine somatic mutations were detected (median allele fraction: 6.7%). In patients without identified somatic RB1 alterations (n = 8), six candidate variants were identified for seven patients. CONCLUSIONS: Despite small tumor size, blood-ocular barrier, poor ctDNA blood release and limited plasma sample volumes, we confirm that it is possible to detect ctDNA with high-deep NGS in plasma from patients with intraocular non-hereditary retinoblastoma. This may aid in diagnosis of suspicious cases, family genetic counseling or follow-up of residual intraocular disease.

RESUMEN

Since previous consensus-based Wilms tumour (WT) surveillance guidelines were published, novel genes and syndromes associated with WT risk have been identified, and diagnostic molecular tests for previously known syndromes have improved. In view of this, the International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP)-Europe Host Genome Working Group and SIOP Renal Tumour Study Group hereby present updated WT surveillance guidelines after an extensive literature review and international consensus meetings. These guidelines are for use by clinical geneticists, pediatricians, pediatric oncologists and radiologists involved in the care of children at risk of WT. Additionally, we emphasise the need to register all patients with a cancer predisposition syndrome in national or international databases, to enable the development of better tumour risk estimates and tumour surveillance programs in the future.

RESUMEN

Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare cancer occurring mainly during early childhood and often associated with germline DICER1 mutations. It is classified by the macroscopic appearance into three interrelated clinico-pathologic entities on a developmental continuum. Complete tumor resection is a main prognostic factor and can be performed at diagnosis or after neoadjuvant treatment that includes chemotherapy and in some cases radiotherapy. Optimal modalities of neo- or adjuvant treatments can be challenging taking into account potential long-term toxicities in this young population. This paper presents the recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of children and adolescents with PPB elaborated by the European Cooperative Study Group for Pediatric Rare Tumors (EXPeRT) within the European Union-funded project PARTNER (Paediatric Rare Tumours Network - European Registry).

RESUMEN

Childhood malignancies are rarely related to known environmental exposures, and it has become increasingly evident that inherited genetic factors play a substantial causal role. Large-scale sequencing studies have shown that approximately 10% of children with cancer have an underlying cancer predisposition syndrome. The number of recognised cancer predisposition syndromes and cancer predisposition genes are constantly growing. Imaging and laboratory technologies are improving, and knowledge of the range of tumours and risk of malignancy associated with cancer predisposition syndromes is increasing over time. Consequently, surveillance measures need to be constantly adjusted to address these new findings. Management recommendations for individuals with pathogenic germline variants in cancer predisposition genes need to be established through international collaborative studies, addressing issues such as genetic counselling, cancer prevention, cancer surveillance, cancer therapy, psychological support, and social-ethical issues. This Review represents the work by a group of experts from the European Society for Paediatric Oncology (SIOPE) and aims to summarise the current knowledge and define future research needs in this evolving field.

RESUMEN

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in over 180 loci have been associated with breast cancer (BC) through genome-wide association studies involving mostly unselected population-based case-control series. Some of them modify BC risk of women carrying a BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) mutation and may also explain BC risk variability in BC-prone families with no BRCA1/2 mutation. Here, we assessed the contribution of SNPs of the iCOGS array in GENESIS consisting of BC cases with no BRCA1/2 mutation and a sister with BC, and population controls. Genotyping data were available for 1281 index cases, 731 sisters with BC, 457 unaffected sisters and 1272 controls. In addition to the standard SNP-level analysis using index cases and controls, we performed pedigree-based association tests to capture transmission information in the sibships. We also performed gene- and pathway-level analyses to maximize the power to detect associations with lower-frequency SNPs or those with modest effect sizes. While SNP-level analyses identified 18 loci, gene-level analyses identified 112 genes. Furthermore, 31 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and 7 Atlas of Cancer Signaling Network pathways were highlighted (false discovery rate of 5%). Using results from the "index case-control" analysis, we built pathway-derived polygenic risk scores (PRS) and assessed their performance in the population-based CECILE study and in a data set composed of GENESIS-affected sisters and CECILE controls. Although these PRS had poor predictive value in the general population, they performed better than a PRS built using our SNP-level findings, and we found that the joint effect of family history and PRS needs to be considered in risk prediction models.

RESUMEN

Importance: Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common pediatric intraocular neoplasm. RB is a complex model in which atypical pathogenic variants, modifier genes, imprinting, and mosaicism are known to be associated with the phenotype. In-depth understanding of RB therefore requires large genotype-phenotype studies. Objective: To assess the association between genotype and phenotype in patients with RB. Design, Setting, and Participants: This single-center, retrospective cohort study, conducted from January 1, 2000, to September 30, 2017, enrolled 1404 consecutive ascertained patients with RB who consulted an oncogeneticist. All patients had their genotype and phenotype recorded. Statistical analysis was performed from July 1, 2018, to December 31, 2018. Main Outcomes and Measures: RB1 germline and somatic pathogenic variant types, family history, and disease presentation characteristics (ie, age at diagnosis, sex, laterality, and International Intraocular Retinoblastoma Classification group). Results: Among 1404 patients with RB (734 [52.3%] female; mean [SD] age, 20.2 [21.2] months), 866 cases (61.7%) were unilateral and 538 cases (38.3%) were bilateral. Loss of function variants were found throughout the coding sequence, with 259 of 272 (95.2%) somatic pathogenic variants and 537 of 606 (88.6%) germline pathogenic variants (difference, 6.6%; 95% CI, 4.0%-9.2%; P < .001) after excluding tumor-specific pathogenic variants (ie, promoter methylation and loss of heterozygosity); a novel low-penetrance region was identified in exon 24. Compared with germline pathogenic variants estimated to retain RB protein expression, germline pathogenic variants estimated to abrogate RB protein expression were associated with an earlier mean (SD) age at diagnosis (12.3 [11.3] months among 457 patients vs 16.3 [13.2] months among 55 patients; difference, 4 months; 95% CI, 1.9-6.1 months; P = .01), more frequent bilateral involvement (84.2% among 452 patients vs 65.2% among 45 patients; difference, 18.9%; 95% CI, 14.5%-23.3%; P < .001), and more advanced International Intraocular Retinoblastoma Classification group (85.3% among 339 patients vs 73.9% among 34 patients; difference: 11.4%; 95% CI, 6.5%-16.3%; P = .047). Among the 765 nongermline carriers of an RB1 pathogenic variant, most were female (419 females [54.8%] vs 346 males [45.2%]; P = .008), and males were more likely to have bilateral RB (23 males [71.4%] vs 12 females [34.3%]; P = .01). Conclusions and Relevance: These results suggest that RB risk is associated with the germline pathogenic variant and with maintenance of RB protein and that there is a sex-linked mechanism for nongermline carriers.
