RESUMO
BACKGROUND: This study assessed the contrasting genomic profiles from the primary tumors (PTs), metastatic (MET) sites, and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) of patients with prostate cancer (PC). METHODS: A total of 1294 PC tissue specimens and 2462 ctDNA specimens underwent hybrid capture-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP). Specimens included tissue from PTs; MET biopsies from bone, liver (LIV), lung (LU), brain (BN), lymph node, and soft tissue sites; and ctDNA. RESULTS: Differences in alteration frequencies between PT, MET, and ctDNA specimens for selected genes were observed. TMPRSS2:ERG fusion frequencies were similar between PTs and MET sites (35% vs 33%) but varied among MET sites. Genomic alterations (GAs) in AR were lowest in PTs (2%) and highest in MET sites (from 24% in LU to 50% in LIV). BN had the highest genomic alterations/tumor (8) and enrichment for PTEN GAs. The BRCA2 GA frequency varied from 0% in BN to 15% in LIV. ERBB2 amplification was increased in MET sites in comparison with PTs. RB1 GAs were increased in LIV. Biomarkers potentially associated with an anti-PD(L)1 response included CDK12 GAs (16% in LU) and a microsatellite instability-high status (29% in BN). Analyses of ctDNA featured a broad spectrum of GAs similar to those detected across MET sites. CONCLUSIONS: CGP of PTs, MET sites, and ctDNA in PC exhibited differences most likely associated with tumor progression, clonal evolution, and exposure to systemic therapies; ctDNA can also capture a broad range of potential therapeutic opportunities for patients with PC.

BACKGROUND: RAS short variant (SV) mutations in colorectal cancer (CRC) are associated with lack of benefit from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody (EGFRmAb). However, the clinical implications for RAS amplification (RASa) as a biomarker for anti-EGFR therapy in CRC remain ill defined. METHODS: Genomic analysis was performed using the Foundation Medicine (FM) comprehensive genomic profiling database of 37,233 CRC cases. Clinical outcomes were assessed using two independent cohorts: the City of Hope (COH) cohort of 338 patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC) and the Flatiron Health-FM real-world clinicogenomic database (CGDB) of 3,904 patients with mCRC. RESULTS: RASa was detected in 1.6% (614/37,233) of primarily mCRC. RASa 6-9 (n = 241, 39%), 10-19 (n = 165, 27%), and ≥ 20 (n = 209, 34%) copy number subsets had co-RAS SV/BRAF V600E in 63%/3%, 31%/0.6%, and 4.8%/0% of cases, respectively. In the COH cohort, six patients with RASa (13-54 copies) received EGFRmAb, four of six had progressive disease, two had stable disease, and median time to treatment discontinuation (TTD) was 2.5 months. Of the CGDB EGFRmAb-treated patients, those with RASa (n = 9) had median TTD of 4.7 months and overall survival (OS) of 11.4 months, those with RAS SV (n = 101) had median TTD and OS of 5.3 and 9.4 months, and those with RAS/BRAF wild-type (n = 608) had median TTD and OS of 7.6 and 13.7 months. CONCLUSION: Patients with RASa without RAS mutations (1.1% of mCRC) may have poor outcomes on EGFRmAb, although numbers herein were small, and interpretation is confounded by combination chemotherapy. Larger independent studies are warranted to determine if RASa, including degree of amplification, may act similarly to RAS mutation as a resistance mechanism to EGFRmAb therapies. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Genomic data suggest that RAS amplification occurs as the sole RAS/RAF alteration in >1% of colorectal cancer cases and that degree of amplification inversely correlates with co-occurring MAPK pathway alterations. Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that RAS amplification may function similarly to RAS mutation as a negative predictor of benefit from anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapies in colorectal cancer. More clinical data are needed, and comprehensive genomic profiling, including detection of RAS amplification, should be used in trial design to inform therapy selection.

Malignant Brenner tumor is a rare primary ovarian carcinoma subtype that may present diagnostic and therapeutic conundrums. Here, we characterize the genomics of 11 malignant Brenner tumors, which represented 0.1% of 14,153 clinically advanced ovarian carcinomas submitted for genomic profiling during the course of clinical care. At the time of molecular profiling, there was no evidence of a primary urothelial carcinoma of the urinary tract in any case. Cases with transitional-like morphologic features in the setting of variant ovarian serous or endometrioid carcinoma morphology were excluded from the final cohort. Malignant Brenner tumors exhibited CDKN2A/2B loss and oncogenic FGFR1/3 genomic alterations in 55% of cases, respectively; including recurrent FGFR3 S249C or FGFR3-TACC3 fusion in 45% of cases. FGFR3-mutated cases had an associated benign or borderline Brenner tumor pre-cursor components, further confirming the diagnosis and the ovarian site of origin. Malignant Brenner tumors were microsatellite stable, had low tumor mutational burden and exhibited no evidence of homologous recombination deficiency. PIK3CA mutations were enriched with FGFR3 alterations, while FGFR3 wild-type cases featured MDM2 amplification or TP53 mutations. The FGFR3 S249C short variant mutation was absent in 14,142 non-Brenner, ovarian carcinomas subtypes. In contrast to malignant Brenner tumors, FGFR1/2/3 alterations were present in ~5% of non-Brenner, ovarian serous, clear cell and endometrioid carcinoma subtypes, most often as FGFR1 amplification in serous carcinoma or FGFR2 short variant alterations in clear cell or endometrioid carcinomas, respectively. Finally, malignant Brenner tumors had overall distinct genomic signatures compared to FGFR-mutated ovarian serous, endometrioid, and clear cell carcinoma subtypes. This study provides insights into the molecular pathogenesis of malignant Brenner tumors, contrasts the extent of FGFR1/2/3 alterations in ovarian serous, clear cell and endometrioid carcinomas and emphasizes the potential value of novel and FDA-approved, anti-FGFR inhibitors, such as erdafitinib and pemigatinib, in refractory, FGFR3-mutated malignant Brenner tumors.

Aim: To assess concordance between HER2 status measured by traditional methods and ERBB2 amplification measured by next-generation sequencing and its association with first-line trastuzumab clinical benefit in patients with advanced esophagogastric cancer. Methods: Retrospective analysis of HER2/ERBB2 concordance using a deidentified USA-based clinicogenomic database. Clinical outcomes were assessed for patients with HER2+ advanced esophagogastric cancer who received first-line trastuzumab. Results: Overall HER2/ERBB2 concordance was 87.5%. Among patients who received first-line trastuzumab, concordant HER2/ERBB2 was associated with longer time to treatment discontinuation (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.43-0.90) and overall survival (aHR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.33-0.79). ERBB2 copy number ≥25 (median) was associated with longer time to treatment discontinuation (aHR: 0.56; 95% CI: 0.35-0.88) and overall survival (aHR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.30-0.91). Conclusion: HER2/ERBB2 concordance and higher ERBB2 copy number predicted clinical benefit from trastuzumab.
Lay abstract Trastuzumab is a drug that has been shown to prolong survival in some patients with advanced esophagogastric cancer whose tumor expresses a protein biomarker called HER2. There are different methods for assessing whether a patient's tumor expresses HER2, including but not limited to traditional methods such as immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization and novel methods such as next-generation sequencing, which detects alterations in the gene (ERBB2) that encodes the HER2 protein. In our study, we assessed concordance between HER2 status (HER2-positive or HER2-negative) measured by traditional methods and ERBB2 amplification measured by next-generation sequencing, to determine whether there was an association between concordance and clinical benefit in patients with advanced esophagogastric cancer treated with trastuzumab. Our results suggest that, when HER2 positivity is detected through traditional methods, both ERBB2 concordance (i.e., agreement that a patient's tumor had the biomarker) and a higher ERBB2 copy number (the amount of the ERBB2 gene expressed by the tumor) were associated with longer time to treatment discontinuation and overall survival in patients with advanced esophagogastric cancer treated with first-line trastuzumab.

Natural killer cells are important in graft-versus-leukemia responses after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). A variety of surface receptors dictates natural killer cell function, including killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor recognition of HLA-C. Previous single-center studies show that HLA-C epitopes, designated C1 and C2, were associated with allogeneic HCT outcomes; specifically, recipients homozygous for the C1 epitope (C1/C1) experienced a survival benefit. Additionally, mismatching at HLA-C was beneficial in recipients possessing at least 1 C2 allele, whereas the opposite was true for homozygous C1 (C1/C1) recipients where HLA-C mismatching resulted in worse outcomes. In this analysis we aimed to validate these findings in a large multicenter study. We also set out to determine whether surface expression of recipient HLA-C, determined by polymorphism in a microRNA (miR-148a/b) binding site within the 3'-region of the HLA-C transcript, was associated with transplant outcomes. In this large registry cohort, we were unable to confirm the prior findings regarding recipient HLA-C epitope status and outcome. Additionally, HLA-C surface expression (ie, surface density), as predicted by the miR-148a/b binding single nucleotide polymorphism, was also not with associated transplant outcomes. Collectively, neither HLA-C surface expression, as determined by miR-148a/b, nor recipient HLA-C epitopes (C1, C2) are associated with allogeneic HCT outcomes.

Killer cell Ig-like receptors (KIRs) bind cognate HLA class I ligands with distinct affinities, affecting NK cell licensing and inhibition. We hypothesized that differences in KIR and HLA class I genotypes predictive of varying degrees of receptor-ligand binding affinities influence clinical outcomes in autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Using genomic DNA from a homogeneous cohort of 125 AML patients treated with AHCT, we performed KIR and HLA class I genotyping and found that patients with a compound KIR3DL1(+) and HLA-Bw4-80Thr(+), HLA-Bw4-80Ile(-) genotype, predictive of low-affinity interactions, had a low incidence of relapse, compared with patients with a KIR3DL1(+) and HLA-Bw4-80Ile(+) genotype, predictive of high-affinity interactions (hazard ratio [HR], 0.22; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.06-0.78; p = 0.02). This effect was influenced by HLA-Bw4 copy number, such that relapse progressively increased with one copy of HLA-Bw4-80Ile (HR, 1.6; 95% CI, 0.84-3.1; p = 0.15) to two to three copies (HR, 3.0; 95% CI, 1.4-6.5; p = 0.005) and progressively decreased with one to two copies of HLA-Bw4-80Thr (p = 0.13). Among KIR3DL1(+) and HLA-Bw4-80Ile(+) patients, a predicted low-affinity KIR2DL2/3(+) and HLA-C1/C1 genotype was associated with lower relapse than a predicted high-affinity KIR2DL1(+) and HLA-C2/C2 genotype (HR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.09-0.73; p = 0.01). Similarly, a KIR3DL1(+) and HLA-Bw4-80Thr(+), HLA-Bw4-80Ile(-) genotype, or lack of KIR3DL1(+) and HLA-Bw4-80Ile(+) genotype, rescued KIR2DL1(+) and HLA-C2/C2 patients from high relapse (p = 0.007). These findings support a role for NK cell graft-versus-leukemia activity modulated by NK cell receptor-ligand affinities in AHCT for AML.

BACKGROUND: Of the cancers treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is most sensitive to natural killer (NK)-cell reactivity. The activating killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) 2DS1 has ligand specificity for HLA-C2 antigens and activates NK cells in an HLA-dependent manner. Donor-derived NK reactivity controlled by KIR2DS1 and HLA could have beneficial effects in patients with AML who undergo allogeneic HSCT. METHODS: We assessed clinical data, HLA genotyping results, and donor cell lines or genomic DNA for 1277 patients with AML who had received hematopoietic stem-cell transplants from unrelated donors matched for HLA-A, B, C, DR, and DQ or with a single mismatch. We performed donor KIR genotyping and evaluated the clinical effect of donor KIR genotype and donor and recipient HLA genotypes. RESULTS: Patients with AML who received allografts from donors who were positive for KIR2DS1 had a lower rate of relapse than those with allografts from donors who were negative for KIR2DS1 (26.5% vs. 32.5%; hazard ratio, 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61 to 0.96; P=0.02). Of allografts from donors with KIR2DS1, those from donors who were homozygous or heterozygous for HLA-C1 antigens could mediate this antileukemic effect, whereas those from donors who were homozygous for HLA-C2 did not provide any advantage (24.9% with homozygosity or heterozygosity for HLA-C1 vs. 37.3% with homozygosity for HLA-C2; hazard ratio, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.28 to 0.75; P=0.002). Recipients of KIR2DS1-positive allografts mismatched for a single HLA-C locus had a lower relapse rate than recipients of KIR2DS1-negative allografts with a mismatch at the same locus (17.1% vs. 35.6%; hazard ratio, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.20 to 0.78; P=0.007). KIR3DS1, in positive genetic linkage disequilibrium with KIR2DS1, had no effect on leukemia relapse but was associated with decreased mortality (60.1%, vs. 66.9% without KIR3DS1; hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.71 to 0.96; P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Activating KIR genes from donors were associated with distinct outcomes of allogeneic HSCT for AML. Donor KIR2DS1 appeared to provide protection against relapse in an HLA-C-dependent manner, and donor KIR3DS1 was associated with reduced mortality.

OBJECTIVE: Chromosome 8q arm (chr8q) is the most amplified chromosomal segment in advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer after chXq12. These regions harbor important oncogenes driving prostate cancer progression, including MYC that plays a role in various hallmarks of cancer, including cell cycle progression and immune surveillance. Herein we characterize the co-expression patterns of chr8q genes and their clinical utility in more than 7,000 radical prostatectomy samples. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Copy Number alterations of 336 genes on chr8q21 to chr8q24 were extracted from 2 primary prostate cancer cohorts (TCGA, n = 492; MSK-primary, n = 856) and 3 metastatic prostate cancer cohorts (MSK-met, N = 432; MSK-mCSPC, N = 424; SU2CPNAS, n = 444) from cBioPortal. Expression data for the 336 genes was extracted from 6,135 radical prostatectomy samples from Decipher GRID registry. For survival analysis, patients were grouped into top 10% and top 25% by band expression and were compared with the remaining cohort. Hazard ratios were calculated using Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS: Genes on chr8q were highly co-amplified and co-expressed. Copy number alterations and overexpression of chr8q genes in primary disease were associated with higher Gleason scores, increased risk of metastases, and increased prostate cancer specific mortality. Additionally, our data demonstrated high expression of MYC alone was not associated with differences in metastases free survival while high expression of other chr8q bands was associated with decreased metastases free survival. By combining chr8q data with an established genomic classifier like Decipher, we were able to develop a new model that was better at predicting metastases than Decipher alone. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight the clinical utility of chr8q data, which can be used to improve prognostication and risk prediction in localized prostate cancer.

The natural killer cell receptor KIR3DS1 is associated with improved outcome in malignancies, infections, and autoimmune diseases, but data for the impact of KIR3DS1 in HSCT are inconsistent. Using genomic DNA from the National Marrow Donor Program, we performed donor KIR genotyping for 1087 patients who received an unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A total of 33% of donors were KIR3DS1(+). Compared with KIR3DS1(-) donors, donor KIR3DS1 was associated with lower-grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD; odds ratio = 0.71; 95% confidence interval, 0.55-0.92; P = .009), but not with relapse (hazard ratio = 0.97; 95% confidence interval, 0.73-1.29; P = .82). Furthermore, grade II-IV acute GVHD, overall mortality, and transplantation-related mortality all decreased as the number of copies of donor KIR3DS1 increased (P = .007, P = .03, and P = .02, respectively), with the lowest failure rate occurring among patients homozygous for donor KIR3DS1. Selection of donors with KIR3DS1 may decrease acute GVHD without compromising relapse-free survival, separating the graft-versus-tumor effect from unwanted GVHD.

PURPOSE: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression or amplification (ERBB2amp) are biomarkers for approved anti-HER2 therapies. ERBB2amp may better predict response compared with immunohistochemistry or in situ hybridization, and quantitative copy number (CN) may further stratify patients. We characterized ERBB2amp in advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas (GEA) and hypothesized that increased CN was associated with better outcome to trastuzumab. METHODS: Comprehensive genomic profiling, including assessment of ERBB2amp, was performed for 12,905 GEA tissue cases. Clinical outcomes were assessed using a clinicogenomic database linking deidentified electronic health record-derived clinical data to genomic data. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used for real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) comparisons. RESULTS: ERBB2amp (CN ≥ 5) was detected in 15% (1,934 of 12,905) of GEA; median CN 22 (interquartile range 9-73). Median ERBB2 amplicon size was 0.27 megabase (interquartile range 0.13-0.95), and smaller amplicons were associated with higher CN (P < .001). In the clinicogenomic database, of 101 evaluable first-line trastuzumab-treated patients, ERBB2 CN was a significant predictor of rwPFS as a continuous variable (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.73; 95% CI, 0.60 to 0.89; P = .002), whereas ERBB2 CN was not predictive of rwPFS on chemotherapy (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.93; 95% CI, 0.73 to 1.20; P = .59). Among trastuzumab-treated patients, no significant associations with ERBB2 CN were observed for disease site, age, stage at advanced diagnosis, or most selected coalterations. CONCLUSION: ERBB2amp was detected in 15% of GEA tissue samples, with significant diversity in ERBB2 CN and amplicon focality. ERBB2 CN was predictive of rwPFS as a continuous variable for patients treated with trastuzumab. Further studies exploring the clinical utility of quantitative ERBB2 CN, particularly in the setting of the evolving anti-HER2 landscape and combination therapies, are warranted.

PURPOSE: APOBEC mutagenesis underlies somatic evolution and accounts for tumor heterogeneity in several cancers, including breast cancer (BC). In this study, we evaluated the characteristics of a real-world cohort for time-to-treatment discontinuation (TTD) and overall survival on CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) plus endocrine therapy (ET) and immune checkpoint inhibitors. METHODS: Comprehensive genomic profiling results from 29,833 BC samples were analyzed for tumor mutational burden and APOBEC signatures. For clinical outcomes, a deidentified nationwide (United States-based) BC Clinico-Genomic Database (CGDB) was evaluated with log-rank and Cox models. Patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) BC who received first-line ET and CDK4/6i were included. Eligible patients from Mayo Clinic and Duke University were HR+ HER2- BC with sequencing data between September 2013 and July 2020. RESULTS: Of 29,833 samples sequenced, 7.9% were APOBEC+ with a high rate in invasive lobular carcinoma (16.7%) and in metastatic tumors (9.7%) relative to locally biopsied BC (4.3%; P < .001). In CGDB, 857 patients with HR+ HER2- BC received ET plus CDK4/6i in the first line. APOBEC+ patients had significantly shorter TTD on ET plus CDK4/6i than APOBEC- patients, 7.8 (95% CI, 4.3 to 14.6) versus 12.4 months (95% CI, 11.2 to 14.1; hazard ratio, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.03 to 2.39; P = .0036). Clinical benefit to immune checkpoint inhibitors was observed in HR+ HER2-, APOBEC+, tumor mutational burden-high patients, with four of nine CGDB patients (TTD 0.3-11.3 months) and four of six patients in Duke/Mayo cohorts (TTD 0.9-40.5 months) with a TTD of ≥ 3 months. CONCLUSION: APOBEC+ HR+ HER2- patients had shorter TTD on first-line ET plus CDK4/6i relative to APOBEC- patients. Further research is needed to optimize the treatment of APOBEC+ HR+ HER2- BC and to investigate the efficacy of immunotherapeutic strategies in this population.

Pathological and genomic profiling have transformed breast cancer care by matching patients to targeted treatments. However, tumors evolve and evade therapeutic interventions often through the acquisition of genomic mutations. Here we examine patients profiled with tissue (TBx) and liquid biopsy (LBx) as part of routine clinical care, to characterize the tumor evolutionary landscape and identify potential vulnerabilities in the relapsed setting. Real-world evidence demonstrates that LBx is utilized later in care and identifies associations with intervening therapy. While driver events are frequently shared, acquired LBx alterations are detected in a majority of patients, with the highest frequency in ER+ disease and in patients with longer biopsy intervals. Acquired mutations are often polyclonal and present at lower allelic fractions, suggesting multi-clonal convergent evolution. In addition to well-characterized resistance mutations (e.g., ESR1, NF1, RB1, ERBB2), we observe a diversity of rarer but potentially targetable mutations (e.g., PIK3CA, HRAS/NRAS/KRAS, FGFR1/2/3, BRAF) and fusions (e.g., FGFR1/2, ERBB2, RET), as well as BRCA1/2 reversions through a variety of mechanisms, including splice alterations and structural deletions. This study provides insights on treatment and selection-driven tumor evolution and identifies potential combinatorial treatment options in advanced breast cancer.

BACKGROUND: Biomarkers predicting second-generation novel hormonal therapy (NHT) benefit relative to taxanes are critical for optimized treatment decisions for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. These associations have not been reported simultaneously for common mCRPC genomic biomarkers. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate predictive associations of common genomic aberrations in mCRPC using an established comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) system. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A retrospective cohort study used data from a deidentified US-based clinicogenomic database comprising patients treated in routine clinical practice between 2011 and 2020, evaluated with Foundation Medicine CGP in tissue biopsies obtained around the time of treatment decision. The main cohort included 180 NHT and 179 taxane lines of therapy (LOTs) from 308 unique patients. The sequential cohort comprised a subset of the main cohort NHT LOTs immediately followed by taxane from 55 unique patients. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response, time to next treatment (TTNT), and overall survival (OS) were assessed. Main cohort analyses were adjusted for known treatment assignment biases via inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) in treatment interaction models. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: In the main cohort, patients with AR amplification (ARamp) or PTEN aberrations (PTENalt) had worse relative PSA response on NHT versus taxanes compared with patients without. Patients with ARamp, PTENalt, or RB1 aberrations (RB1alt) also had worse relative TTNT and OS on NHT but not on taxanes. In multivariable models for TTNT and OS adjusted via IPTW, ARamp, PTENalt, and RB1alt were shown as poor prognostic factors overall and demonstrated significant treatment interactions, indicating reduced hazards of therapy switch and death on taxanes versus NHT. Consistent associations favoring increased benefit from subsequent taxane despite prior NHT treatment line were observed only for ARamp in the sequential cohort, in which very few patients had RB1alt for assessment. CONCLUSIONS: ARamp status is a candidate biomarker to predict poor effectiveness of NHT relative to taxanes in mCRPC in scenarios where both options are considered. PATIENT SUMMARY: Specific alterations in the DNA of tumors may assist in choosing between novel oral hormonal therapies and standard chemotherapy in advanced prostate cancer patients.

Black people have a higher incidence of colorectal cancer and worse survival rates when compared with white people. Comprehensive genomic profiling was performed in 46,140 colorectal adenocarcinoma cases. Ancestry-informative markers identified 5,301 patients of African descent (AFR) and 33,770 patients of European descent (EUR). AFR were younger, had fewer microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors, and had significantly more frequent alterations in KRAS, APC, and PIK3CA. AFR had increased frequency of KRAS mutations, specifically KRASG12D and KRASG13. There were no differences in rates of actionable kinase driver alterations (HER2, MET, NTRK, ALK, ROS1, and RET). In patients with young-onset colorectal cancer (<50 years), AFR and EUR had a similar frequency of MSI-H and tumor mutational burden-high (TMB-H) tumors, and strikingly different trends in APC mutations by age, as well as differences in MAPK pathway alterations. These findings inform treatment decisions, impact prognosis, and underscore the need for model systems representative of the diverse U.S. population. SIGNIFICANCE: KRAS (particularly KRASG12D/G13), APC, and PIK3CA were more frequently altered in AFR who had a lower frequency of MSI-H tumors. There were no differences in actionable kinase driver alterations. In young-onset colorectal cancer, both ancestries had a similar frequency of MSI-H/TMB-H tumors, but strikingly different trends in APC. See related commentary by Eng and Holowatyj, p. 1187.

There are more than 70 distinct sarcomas, and this diversity complicates the development of precision-based therapeutics for these cancers. Prospective comprehensive genomic profiling could overcome this challenge by providing insight into sarcomas' molecular drivers. Through targeted panel sequencing of 7494 sarcomas representing 44 histologies, we identify highly recurrent and type-specific alterations that aid in diagnosis and treatment decisions. Sequencing could lead to refinement or reassignment of 10.5% of diagnoses. Nearly one-third of patients (31.7%) harbor potentially actionable alterations, including a significant proportion (2.6%) with kinase gene rearrangements; 3.9% have a tumor mutational burden ≥10 mut/Mb. We describe low frequencies of microsatellite instability (<0.3%) and a high degree of genome-wide loss of heterozygosity (15%) across sarcomas, which are not readily explained by homologous recombination deficiency (observed in 2.5% of cases). In a clinically annotated subset of 118 patients, we validate actionable genetic events as therapeutic targets. Collectively, our findings reveal the genetic landscape of human sarcomas, which may inform future development of therapeutics and improve clinical outcomes for patients with these rare cancers.

Alloreactive natural killer (NK) cells are an important influence on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) outcome. In HLA-mismatched HSCT, alloreactivity occurs when licensed donor NK cells expressing inhibitory killer Ig-like receptors (KIR) for donor MHC class I ligands recognize the lack of the class I ligands in the mismatched recipient ("missing self"). Studies in HLA-matched HSCT, however, have also demonstrated improved outcome in patients lacking class I ligands for donor inhibitory KIR ("missing ligand"), indicating that classically nonlicensed donor NK cells expressing KIR for non-self MHC class I ligands may exhibit functional competence in HSCT. We examined NK function in 16 recipients of T cell-depleted allografts from HLA-identical or KIR-ligand matched donors after myeloablative therapy. After HSCT, nonlicensed NK cells expressing inhibitory KIR for non-self class I exhibit robust intracellular IFN-gamma and cytotoxic response to target cells lacking cognate ligand, gradually becoming tolerized to self by day 100. These findings could not be correlated with cytokine environment or phenotypic markers of NK development, nor could they be attributed to non-KIR receptors such as CD94/NKG2A. These findings confirm that NK alloreactivity can occur in HLA-matched HSCT, where tolerance to self is either acquired by the stem cell-derived NK cell after exiting the bone marrow or where tolerance to self can be temporarily overcome.
