RESUMO

The co-occurrence of an inversion inv(3)(q21q26)/GATA2-MECOM and a Philadelphia translocation t(9;22)(q34;q11)/BCR-ABL1 in the context of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in blast crisis or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has only rarely been described. To our knowledge, this co-occurrence has been reported in six pediatric patients with CML but not in pediatric patients with AML. Here, we report on a 7-year-old girl, who, presented with a t(9;22) and inv(3) in 14 of 15 metaphases and an additional monosomy 7 was detected in 5 of these metaphases (ISCN: 46,​XX,​inv(3)(q21q26),​t(9;22)(q34q11)[9]/45,​idem,​-7[5]/46,​XX[1]). The p190 BCR-ABL1 fusion transcript was detected by multiplex PCR and targeted RNA sequencing. Due to these results, a clear distinction between a CML in blast crisis and a BCR-ABL1 positive AML was not possible. The patient was treated according to the treatment recommendations of the AML-BFM study group and additionally received tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy (Dasatinib). The treatment with Dasatinib was successful in eliminating the inv(3)/t(9;22) clone, but the ancestral inv(3) clone persisted. Based upon these findings we diagnosed an AML with inv(3) and a secondary acquisition of t(9;22). This treatment as well as an allogenic transplantation has led to a complete remission of the disease up to this date (21 months post diagnosis).

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The enzyme O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is an important component of the DNA repair machinery. MGMT removes O6-methylguanine from the DNA by transferring the methyl group to a cysteine residue in its active site. Recently, we detected the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs12917 (C/T) in the MGMT sequence adjacent to the active site in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) cell line KM-H2. We now investigated whether this SNP is also present in other HL cell lines and patient samples. Furthermore, we asked whether this SNP might have an impact on metabolic response in 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography ([18F]FDG-PET), and on overall treatment outcome based on follow-up intervals of at least 34 months. PROCEDURES: We determined the frequency of this MGMT polymorphism in 5 HL cell lines and in 29 pediatric HL (PHL) patients. The patient cohort included 17 female and 12 male patients aged between 4 and 18 years. After characterization of the sequence, we tested a possible association between rs12917 and age, gender, Ann Arbor stage, treatment group, metabolic response following two courses of OEPA (vincristine, etoposide, prednisone, and doxorubicin) chemotherapy, radiotherapy indication, and relapse status. RESULTS: We detected the minor T allele in four of five HL cell lines. 11/29 patients carried the minor T allele whereas 18/29 patients showed homozygosity for the major C allele. Interestingly, we observed significantly better metabolic response in PHL patients carrying the rs12917 C allele resulting in a lower frequency of radiotherapy indication. CONCLUSION: MGMT polymorphism rs12917 seems to affect chemotherapy response in PHL. The prognostic value of this polymorphism should be investigated in a larger patient cohort.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a highly aggressive paediatric brain tumour with fatal outcome. The Individualised Therapy For Relapsed Malignancies In Childhood (INFORM) registry study offers comprehensive molecular profiling of high-risk tumours to identify target alterations for potential precision therapy. We analysed molecular characteristics and clinical data after brainstem biopsy of all enrolled newly diagnosed DIPGs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From -February 2015 to February 2018, 21 subsequent primary DIPG cases were enrolled in the nation-wide multicentre INFORM registry study after brainstem biopsy. Whole-genome, whole-exome sequencing and DNA methylation analysis were performed, and RNA-sequencing was added in case of sufficient material. Clinical data were obtained from standardised questionnaires and the INFORM clinical data bank. RESULTS: Tumour material obtained from brainstem biopsy was sufficient for DNA analysis in all cases and RNA analysis in 16 of 21 cases. In 16 of 21 cases (76%), potential targetable alterations were identified including highly relevant MET and NTRK1 fusions as well as an EZH2 alteration not previously described in DIPG. In 5 of 21 cases, molecular information was used for initiation of targeted treatment. The majority of patients (19/21) presented with neurological deficits at diagnosis. Newly arising or worsening of neurological deficits post-biopsy occurred in nine patients. Symptoms were reversible or improved notably in eight cases. CONCLUSION: In this multicentre study setting, brainstem biopsy of DIPG was feasible and yielded sufficient material for comprehensive molecular profiling. Relevant molecular targets were identified impacting clinical management in a substantial subset. Death or severe bleeding occurred in none of the cases. One of 20 patients experienced unilateral paraesthesia possibly related to biopsy.
