  • Rare Germline Mutations Identified by Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing of Susceptibility Genes in Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. - : Endocrine Society. - 0021-972X .- 1945-7197. ; 99:7, s. E1352-E1360
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Context: Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas have a highly diverse genetic background, with a third of the cases carrying a germline mutation in 1 of 14 identified genes. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate next-generation sequencing for more efficient genetic testing of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma and to establish germline and somatic mutation frequencies for all known susceptibility genes. Design: A targeted next-generation sequencing approach on an Illumina MiSeq instrument was used for a mutation analysis in 86 unselected pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma tumor samples. The study included the genes EGLN1, EPAS1, KIF1B beta, MAX, MEN1, NF1, RET, SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHAF2, TMEM127, and VHL. Results were verified in tumor and constitutional DNA with Sanger sequencing. Results: In all cases with clinical syndromes or known germline mutations, a mutation was detected in the expected gene. Among 68 nonfamilial tumors, 32 mutations were identified in 28 of the samples (41%), including germline mutations in EGLN1, KIF1B beta, SDHA, SDHB, and TMEM127 and somatic mutations in EPAS1, KIF1B beta, MAX, NF1, RET, and VHL, including one double monoallelic EPAS1 mutation. Conclusions: Targeted next-generation sequencing proved to be fast and cost effective for the genetic analysis of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. More than half of the tumors harbored mutations in the investigated genes. Notably, 7% of the apparently sporadic cases carried germline mutations, highlighting the importance of comprehensive genetic testing. KIF1B beta, which previously has not been investigated in a large cohort, appears to be an equally important tumor suppressor as MAX and TMEM127 and could be considered for genetic testing of these patients.

  • The NF1 gene: a frequent mutational target in sporadic pheochromocytomas and beyond
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Endocrine-Related Cancer. - : BioScientifica. - 1351-0088 .- 1479-6821. ; 20:4, s. C13-C17
  • Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Patients suffering from the neurofibromatosis type 1 syndrome, which is caused by germline mutations in the NF1 gene, have a tiny but not negligible risk of developing pheochromocytomas. It is, therefore, of interest that the NF1 gene has recently been revealed to carry somatic, inactivating mutations in a total of 35 (21.7%) of 161 sporadic pheochromocytomas in two independent tumor series. A majority of the tumors in both studies displayed loss of heterozygosity at the NF1 locus and a low NF1 mRNA expression. In view of previous findings that many sporadic pheochromocytomas cluster with neurofibromatosis type 1 syndrome-associated pheochromocytomas instead of forming clusters of their own, NF1 inactivation appears to be an important step in the pathogenesis of a large number of sporadic pheochromocytomas. A literature and public mutation database review has revealed that pheochromocytomas are among those human neoplasms in which somatic NF1 alterations are most frequent.

  • MDM2 SNP309 promoter polymorphism, an independent prognostic factor in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Haematology. - : Wiley. - 1600-0609 .- 0902-4441. ; 85:3, s. 251-256
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: The single nucleotide polymorphism SNP309 with a change from T to G in the promoter region of the MDM2 gene is shown to increase the MDM2 protein levels and attenuate the p53 levels and associates with disease progression in several tumors. Objective: In this study, the role of the polymorphism was investigated with regard to the clinical outcome in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Patients: A total of 210 patients with B-CLL were followed for up to 19 yr. Results: The overall survival (OS) of patients with at least one G-allele was significantly shorter when compared with those with two T-alleles (P = 0.024) with a more pronounced difference in patients below the median age. Age at onset of B-CLL was similar irrespective of MDM2 status. The presence of a G-allele in combination with TP53 mutations or unmutated IgVH gene status resulted in an additive risk of death. Conclusion: In this report, with a high proportion of B-CLL patients with an advanced Binet stage and with an unmutated IgVH gene, MDM2 SNP309 was found to be independently associated with OS. The survival difference was more pronounced in younger patients.

  • Molecular genetic studies on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Acute Myeloid Leukemia - with focus on prognostic markers
  • 2014
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The present thesis is focused on the prognostic value of genetic variations and alterations in the initiation and development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Several prognostic markers based on genetic or chromosomal aberrations are today used in clinic in these heterogeneous diseases. Novel biomarkers have been identified through next generation sequencing techniques and some of them may be useful as prognostic markers in clinical diagnostic. In papers I-IV we have investigated some of this markers in CLL and AML tumor cells.In papers I and III we investigated the prognostic value of the MDM2 SNP309 in relation to the presence of TP53 mutations in tumor cells from CLL and AML patients. The SNP309 G-allele was associated with a shorter overall survival in TP53 wildtype CLL and non-normal karyotype AML patients. Mutations in the TP53 gene were found in 6.2% in CLL and 21.7% in AML and were always associated with adverse overall survival. This was most significant observed among the AML patients, where the three year survival was zero.In paper II we investigated mutations in NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 as prognostic biomarkers in CLL. Notch1 and Notch2 play critical roles in lineage differentiation of white blood cells. We found mutation only in NOTCH1 in a frequency of 6.7% and our analysis revealed a shorter overall survival for these. NOTCH1 mutations were almost mutually exclusive with TP53 mutations and represented together 12.9% in CLL patients, and they may both be strong prognostic biomarkers in CLL.In paper IV we studied mutations in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Metabolic disturbances in cancer cells have been known for many years, but recently mechanistic explanations have been identified. Hot spot mutations in IDH1/2 genes, result in neomorphic enzyme activities that results in global hypermethylation of the cancer cell genome. We found mutations in 21% of the AML patients. Among the CN-AML patients there is a lack of prognostic markers and in this subgroup we found patients with IDH2 mutations to have a shorter overall survival (3 vs. 21 months (p=0.009) for mutated and wild-type patients, respectively). Additionally, we also studied a SNP in the IDH1 gene, and both the IDH2 mutations and the SNP showed to have a potential as a new prognostic markers in CN-AML.In summary, the results in papers I-IV have a potential to function as novel prognostic biomarkers in the clinic for therapeutic considerations and may also be targets for novel drugs for CLL and AML patients.

  • Mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 genes and IDH1 SNP 105C>T have a prognostic value in acute myeloid leukemia
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Biomarker Research. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2050-7771. ; 2:18
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1/IDH2) genes are frequently mutated and reported to associate with poor prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We have investigated the frequency and outcome of the acquired IDH1/IDH2 mutations and the IDH1 SNP  105C>T (rs11554137) in 207 unselected de novo AML patients. IDH1 codon 132 mutations were present in 7.7%, whereas IDH2 mutations were more frequent and mutations were identified in codon 140 and 172 in a frequency of 10.1% and 2.9%, respectively. The SNP 105C>T was present in 10.1% of the patients, similar to the normal population. A significantly reduced overall survival (OS) for patients carrying IDH2 codon 140 mutation compared with patients carrying wild-type IDH2 gene (p=0.009) was observed in the intermediate risk patient group with cytogenetically normal karyotype (CN-AML). Neither in the entire patient group nor subdivided in different risk groups, IDH1 mutations had any significance on OS compared to the wild-type IDH1 patients. A significant difference in OS between the heterozygous SNP variant and the homozygous wild-type was observed in the intermediate risk FLT3 negative CN-AML, (p=0.007). Our results indicate that IDH2 mutations and the IDH1 SNP 105C>T variant may represent a new subgroup for risk stratification and may indicate new treatment options.

  • NOTCH1 mutations influence survival in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: BMC Cancer. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1471-2407. ; 13
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: NOTCH1 PEST domain mutations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia have recently been shown to be of prognostic relevance. Both NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 are constitutively activated in B-cell CLL but not expressed in normal B cells and may be involved in survival and resistance to apoptosis in CLL. We screened for mutations in different parts of both NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 genes and related the changes to survival and other known risk factors. Methods: In a cohort of 209 CLL patients, we used single strand conformation analysis to determine which of the samples carrying the NOTCH mutations and direct dideoxy sequencing was used to determine the exact nucleotide changes. Kaplan-Meier curves and log rank test were used to determine overall survival for NOTCH1 mutated cases and Cox regression analysis was used to calculate hazardous ratios. Results: In the present study, we found NOTCH1 PEST domain mutations in 6.7% of the cases. A shorter overall survival was found in patients with NOTCH1 mutations compared to wildtype (p = 0.049). Further, we also examined the extracellular and the heterodimerisation domains of the NOTCH1 gene and the PEST domain and heterodimerisation domain of the NOTCH2 gene, but no mutations were found in these regions. NOTCH1 mutations were most commonly observed in patients with unmutated IGHV gene (10/14), and associated with a more aggressive disease course. In addition, NOTCH1 mutations were almost mutually exclusive with TP53 mutations. In the combined group of NOTCH1 (6.7%) or TP53 (6.2%) mutations, a significant difference in overall survival compared to the wildtype NOTCH1 and TP53 was found (p = 0.002). Conclusions: Both NOTCH1 and TP53 mutations seem to be independent predictive markers for worse outcome in CLL-patients and this study emphasizes the contention that NOTCH1 mutations is a novel risk marker.

  • Fc gamma-receptor polymorphisms associated with clinical symptoms in patients with immunoglobulin G subclass deficiency
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: Infectious Diseases. - : TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD. - 2374-4235 .- 2374-4243. ; 50:11-12, s. 853-858
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Immunoglobulin G subclass deficiencies (IgGsd) are associated with recurrent respiratory tract infections. Immunoglobulin substitution therapy may be needed to prevent chronic lung tissue damage but tools for identifying the patients that will benefit from this treatment are still insufficient. Some Fc gamma R polymorphisms seem to predispose for an increased risk for infections. In this study we wanted to evaluate if the Fc gamma R-profile differs between individuals with IgGsd and a control population. Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Fc gamma RIIa, Fc gamma RIIIa and Fc gamma RIIc in 36 IgGsd patients and 192 controls with similar sex and geographical distribution were analyzed by TaqMan allelic discrimination assay or Sanger sequencing. Results: In the IgGsd-group, homozygous frequency for Fc gamma RIIa-R/R131 (low-binding capacity isoform) was higher (p = .03) as well as for non-classical Fc gamma RIIc-ORF (p = .03) and classical Fc gamma RIIc-ORF tended (p = .07) to be more common compared to the controls. There was no difference between the groups regarding Fc gamma RIIIa. Conclusion: The gene for classical Fc gamma RIIc-ORF tended to be more frequent in individuals with immunoglobulin G subclass deficiency and the genes for non-classical Fc gamma RIIc-ORF as well as low-binding capacity receptor Fc gamma RIIa-R/R131 were more frequent. Further studies on the Fc gamma R polymorphisms may pave way for identifying individuals that will benefit from immunoglobulin substitution.

  • Caffeine Interaction with Glutamate Receptor Gene GRIN2A: Parkinsons Disease in Swedish Population
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: PLOS ONE. - : Public Library of Science. - 1932-6203. ; 9:6, s. e99294-
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors is thought to be involved in the etiology of Parkinsons disease (PD). A recent genome-wide association and interaction study (GWAIS) identified GRIN2A, which encodes an NMDA-glutamate-receptor subunit involved in brains excitatory neurotransmission, as a PD genetic modifier in inverse association with caffeine intake. Here in, we attempted to replicate the reported association of a single nucleotide polymorphism, GRIN2A_rs4998386, and its interaction with caffeine intake with PD in patient-control study in an ethnically homogenous population in southeastern Sweden, as consistent and independent genetic association studies are the gold standard for the validation of genome-wide association studies. All the subjects (193 sporadic PD patients and 377 controls) were genotyped, and the caffeine intake data was obtained by questionnaire. We observed an association between rs4998386 and PD with odds ratio (OR) of 0.61, 95% confidence intervals (CI) of 0.39-0.96, p = 0.03, under a model excluding rare TT allele. There was also a strong significance in joint effects of gene and caffeine on PD risk (TC heavy caffeine vs. CC light caffeine: OR = 0.38, 95% CI = [0.20-0.70], p = 0.002) and gene-caffeine interaction (OR = 0.998, 95% CI = [0.991-0.999], pless than0.001). Overall, our results are in support of the findings of the GWAIS and provided additional evidence indicating PD protective effects of coffee drinking/caffeine intake as well as the interaction with glutamate receptor genotypes.

  • p53 Mutations in lung cancer associated with residential radon exposure.
  • 1999
  • Ingår i: Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention. - 1055-9965 .- 1538-7755. ; 8:5
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Unusual mutation patterns in lung tumors among underground miners have been indicated, suggesting radon-specific alterations in the genome, but the data are not consistent. To investigate the association between residential radon exposure and p53 mutations in lung tumors, we performed a study on cases from a nation-wide population-based investigation in Sweden. Our study included 83 nonsmoking lung cancer cases and 250 smoking lung cancer cases, diagnosed 1980-1984, with a time-weighted average radon exposure over 140 Bq/m3 or up to 50 Bq/m3. Radon was measured in dwellings occupied by the study subjects at some time since 1947. Information on smoking habits and other risk factors was obtained from questionnaires. After exclusions because of the initiation of treatment or insufficient material, the p53-status of 243 tumors was determined using PCR-single-stranded conformation polymorphism analysis and sequencing determination of exons 5-8. The overall mutation prevalence was 23.9%. An increased mutation prevalence was suggested among those with high exposure to residential radon [odds ratio (OR), 1.4; 95% CI, 0.7-2.6], especially among nonsmokers (OR, 3.2; 95% CI, 0.7-15.5), but no specific mutational pattern was indicated. Furthermore, the mutation prevalence seemed to be higher among smoking lung cancer cases than among nonsmoking cases (OR, 2.1; 95% CI, 0.9-5.0), and particularly among those smoking less than 10 cigarettes per day. It may be concluded that residential exposure to radon seems to contribute to a higher mutation prevalence of the p53 gene in lung tumors.
