ABSTRACT

Early mutation identification guides patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) toward targeted therapies. In the present study, 414 patients with CRC were enrolled, and amplicon-based targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) was then performed to detect genomic alterations within the 73 cancer-related genes in the OncoAim panel. The overall mutation rate was 91.5 % (379/414). Gene mutations were detected in 38/73 genes tested. The most frequently mutated genes were TP53 (60.9 %), KRAS (46.6 %), APC (30.4 %), PIK3CA (15.9 %), FBXW7 (8.2 %), SMAD4 (6.8 %), BRAF (6.5 %), and NRAS (3.9 %). Compared with the wild type, TP53 mutations were associated with low microsatellite instability/microsatellite stability (MSI-L/MSS) (P = 0.007), tumor location (P = 0.043), and histological grade (P = 0.0009); KRAS mutations were associated with female gender (P = 0.026), distant metastasis (P = 0.023), TNM stage (P = 0.013), and histological grade (P = 0.004); APC mutations were associated with patients <64 years of age at diagnosis (P = 0.04); PIK3CA mutations were associated with tumor location (P = 4.97e-06) and female gender (P = 0.018); SMAD4 mutations were associated with tumor location (P = 0.033); BRAF mutations were associated with high MSI (MSI-H; P = 6.968e-07), tumor location (P = 1.58e-06), and histological grade (P = 0.04). Mutations in 164 individuals were found to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic. A total of 26 patients harbored MSI-H tumors and they all had at least one detected gene mutation. Mutated genes were enriched in signaling pathways associated with CRC. The present findings have important implications for improving the personalized treatment of patients with CRC in China.

ABSTRACT

Background: Lynch syndrome is a genetic disease characterized by abnormal DNA replication caused by germline variation in the mismatch repair (MMR) gene. There are rare non-classical phenotypes with loss of MMR protein expression and inconsistent microsatellite stability (MSS) in Lynch syndrome-related colorectal cancers. However, the difference between microsatellite instability (MSI) of extraintestinal tumors in a patient with Lynch syndrome has been closely studied. Herein, we reported the non-classical phenotypes of mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) and MSI in four cases of Lynch syndrome in patients with colorectal cancer and other primary and metastatic tumors. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on four patients diagnosed with Lynch syndrome between 2018 and 2022 in the Department of Pathology of the Rocket Forces Specialized Medical Center. A one-step immunohistochemical (IHC) assay was employed to detect loss in the expression of Lynch syndrome-associated MMR proteins (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, and MSH6). MSI detection was performed in both primary and metastatic tumors at different sites in the four patients using NCI 2B3D (BAT25, BAT26, D2S123, D17S250, and D5S346) and single nucleotide site (BAT25, BAT26, NR21, NR24, NR27, and MONO27) methods. In addition, related MMR gene germline variation, somatic mutations, and MLH1 gene promoter methylation were analyzed using next-generation sequencing and TaqMan probe-based methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MethyLight). Results: Two of the four patients were heterozygous for MSH6 germline pathogenic variation, and the other two were heterozygous for MSH2 germline pathogenic variation. In all cases, IHC detection of protein expression of the MMR gene with germline variation was negative in all primary and metastatic tumors; non-classical phenotypes of dMMR and MSI were present between primary and metastatic tumors at different sites. dMMR in Lynch colorectal cancer demonstrated high MSI, whereas MSI in primary and metastatic tumors outside the intestine mostly exhibited MSS or low MSI. Conclusions: The non-classical dMMR and MSI phenotype are mostly observed in Lynch syndrome, even in the context of MMR protein expression loss. Extraintestinal tumors infrequently present with a high degree of MSI and often exhibit a stable or low degree of MSI.
