Longitudinal whole-exome sequencing of cell-free DNA unravels the metastatic evolutionary dynamics of BRCA2 -mutated breast cancer
biorxiv(2020)
摘要
Little is known about the metastatic evolutionary dynamics of -mutated cancers. Here, we applied whole-exome sequencing (WES) of primary tumor (PT), local relapse (LR) and eight serial plasma cfDNA samples collected from disease progression to depict the 12 years evolutionary trajectory of a metastatic -mutated breast cancer. While longitudinal WES-cfDNA recapitulated clonal and subclonal mutations and copy number profiles detected in LR, emergence of plasma-exclusive mutations in and cancer-related genes and loss of HLA loci as an immune escape mechanism were also detected. Lastly, mutation signature 3, associated with homologous recombination deficiency and response to platinum-based therapy raised profoundly from 19% in PT to 60% in late stage disease. In conclusion, we show for the first time that longitudinal WES-cfDNA enables the evolutionary trajectory of advanced cancer to be uncovered and that increment of MS3 and loss of HLA are key players in this -mutated breast metastasis.
