Cancer is a Genetic Disease Development of cancer is driven by the acquisition of somatic genetic alterations: Nonsynonymous point mutations: missense. P.e. AKT1 g.c>t E17K nonsense. P.e APC g.c>t Q1338* Indels: in frame (insertion of Aa in the protein) frameshifts (leading to premature STOP codons and truncated proteins) Somatic copy number alterations : amplifications deletions - focal (median: 1.8Mb) - arm-level (size of a chromosome arm) Translocations: gene fusions Epigenomic changes: hypermethilation of CpG islands leads to gene silencing. P.e. PTEN

What can be detected by NGS? Dienstmann et al. J Clin Oncol 2013
How is detection through NGS? Meyerson et al. Nature Rev Genet 2010
What can be detected? It all depends on the application Amplicon-seq Capture approaches Exome-seq Whole genome sequecying
Modern times: NGS in practice or in research? CLINICAL PRACTICE Amplicon-seq Capture approaches Exome-seq Whole genome sequecying RESEARCH Specific regions are multiplex-pcr amplified and sequenced. Customized pannels (p.e 350 regions in 70 genes) Quick Up to 2.5 and Mb cheap (200k probes) are sequencingready in 1 working day. Allows good intronexon coverage. Allows panels containing 400 cancer genes. Aprox. 34-50 Mb. Allows mutation detection as well as copy number calling.

Challenges in Setting up NGS approaches in the Clinic
Dealing with FFPE tissues 99.9% of patient s samples 1- TUMOR PURITY 2- DNA/RNA QUALITY: FRAGMENTATION AND CHEMICAL DAMAGE 3- AMOUNTS
TUMOR PURITY Selecting a cutoff for minimum tumor area NGS sensitivity: 5% minimum mutated alleles N (2n): stroma, lymphocytes, normal surrounding tissue Mutated allele TUMOR CELLS Mutations may be present in all tumor cells: CLONAL OR May be present in a subset of cells: SUBCLONAL. In some instances, resistance mechanisms ex. EGFR T790M Some tumor types are stroma enriched, ex. pancreas
Challenges: Variant interpretation VUS (variants of uncertain significance): oncogenes vs tumor supressors Increases with panel size Published data in silico prediction tools VAF (variant allele fraction) Protein domain Protein residue +-±/*~
Challenges: the germline issue The need of germline DNA Reference genome Alignment Reference genome (major chromosomal contigs with chrs1-22, X, Y) Increases with panel size Variant calling (mutation vs polymorphism) Reference genome (major chromosomal contigs with chrs1-22, X, Y) Germline DNA from subject
To conclude: So, most likely, in the relatively short term (1-3 yrs): Small gene panels (<120 genes) will be part of the routine in the clinics Medium-sized gene panels will be used in all clinical research settings Larger options (Exome-seq, WGS) will be adopted when costs and timeline issues are solved
