1 Molecular Diagnostics for Melanocytic Neoplasms: Moving towards a Revolution in the Management of Melanocytic Neoplasms Pedr am Gerami MD Associate Professor of Dermatology, Pathology and Pediatrics at Northwestern University Co-dir ector of Melanoma Program, Northwestern Skin Cancer Institute Disclosures: I have been a consultant to Abbott Molecular, Neogenomics, Castle Biosciences, Myriad Genomics, and Derm Tech Int. Summary 95% of melanomas have clonal chromosomal aberrations including gains on 7q, 8q, 6p, 1q, 20q, 17 and 3 as well as losses on 9p,10, 6q and 8p Conv ersely, nevi inf requently have chromosomal aberrations: 20% of spitz nevi have isolated gain in 11p Original Paradigm FISH Clonal Chromosomal A berrations Common Gains Common Deletions Melanoma 95% 6p, 7q, 17q, 20q, 4q,8q, 1q, 11q 9p, 10, 21q Nevi Only 20% of Spitz Nevi Isolated Gain in 11p 1

5 Recurring Themes A mong A STs With Ree Aggressive Clinical Course : 1) 9 of 11 cases with disease progression beyond the sentinel had homozygous 9p21 deletions 2) 4 of 9 patients with ASTs with homozygous 9p21 deletion developed recurrent in transit metastasis in the skin in addition to sentinel and non-sentinel lymph node involvement all of whom are still alive. One patient with up to 8 years of follow up. 3) Distant metastasis and death from disease from ASTs uncommon but when it does happen most cases likely to have homozygous 9p21 deletion and likely to occur with a more protracted course compared to conventional melanomas Chimeric proteins resulting f rom translocations involving receptor tyrosine kinases Mutually exclusive fusion proteins identified in 72/140 (51%) Spitzoid neoplasms studied 5

As can be seen in the figure, the 25 th -75 th percentile ALK-fused cases do not overlap with any of the other subgroups, indicating that the majority of ALK-translocations were significantly larger than non-alk-fusions. 9

10 Recently a number of familial melanoma syndromes involving BAP1 have been described: 1)Wiesneret al described 2 families with uveal melanoma, cutaneous melanoma, nevi with atypical epithelioid c ell component and grey zone lesions with atypical epithelioid cell c omponent Family1: c.1305 del6 Family2: c a>g 2)Testa et al described 2 families with uveal melanoma and mesothelioma Family 1 : p.gin684x Family 2 : p.iie72fsx7 3 )Abdel-Rahman described 1 family with uveal melanoma, lung adenocarcinoma and meningiomas Family 1 : c. 799 C->T Associated Malignancies BAP1 = BRCA1-associated protein-1 Patients with germline mutations in BAP1 were found to be at increased risk for: 1. Uveal melanoma 2. Mesothelioma (no asbestos exposure) 3. Cutaneous Melanoma 4. Renal Cell Carcinoma 5. Atypical Spitz Tumors/BAPomas 6. Basal Cell Carcinoma *Other tumors such as meningioma, cholangiocaricinoma, breast and lung carcinoma have been seen in multiple carriers and may be associated with the syndrome.

11 8 New Families Identified 4 families identified after a dermatologist diagnosed a BAP-1 Deficient Tumor in a young patient (ages 10-32) and asked about family history 1 family identified after a patient in her 40 s was diagnosed with a BAP1 associated nevoid melanoma Family 4 Family 5 Median Age of Onset and Prevalence of Characteristic Tumors in BAP1 Patients Tumor/Malignancy Number of Cases Estimated Penetrance Median Age Literature Median Age Our Study Median Age General Population UvealMelanoma 61/215 cases 28% Mesothelioma 48/215 cases 22% Cutaneous Melanoma 38/215 cases 18% BAP1 Deficient Tumors 33/215 cases 17% Renal Cell Carcinoma 20/215 cases 9% Median Ages of Onset of Associated Tumors Prevalence in Patients with Skin Examinations Of the 53 patients with a documented TBSE by a dermatologist, 40 (75%) were found to have at least one BDT on clinical exam. The number of BDTs in BAP1 patients thought to increase as the patient ages. 11

12 Histologic Presentation Mesothelioma Truncating Mutations Of the 48 patients diagnosed mesothelioma, 96% (n=46) carried truncating mutations in BAP1. The 2 mesothelioma patients without truncating mutations were diagnosed at age 71 and 72 (median age of diagnosis = 56) Of the 29 patients age >56 without a mesothelioma diagnosis, 66% had truncating mutations (n=19) Truncating mutation occurs before the nuclear localization sequence BAP1 protein accumulates in cell cytoplasm Abberrant BAP1 protein has been shown to form amyloid aggregates in cell cytoplasm Inflammation and cytotoxicity involved in mesothelioma pathogenesis?
