Chromothripsis in AML

ABSTRACT: This dataset contains data from two acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) specimens processed with the Illumina CytoSNP-12 SNP array platform. SNP array data showed evidence of chromothripsis in these two specimens. Each deletion in the mosaic specimen was present in the same proportion of cells, which supports the view that the many breaks occur as a single event. Complementary FISH studies highlighted the inclusion of centromeres from different chromosomes during the formation of the new chromosomes. Residual bone marrow specimens were chosen from patients who were determined to have a complex karyotype which included abnormalities of chromosomes 5 and 17, by routine cytogenetic examination.

Chromothripsis under the microscope: a cytogenetic perspective of two cases of AML with catastrophic chromosome rearrangement.

Chromothripsis is a recently described phenomenon identified in cancer cells that produces catastrophic chromosome reorganization of one or a small number of chromosomes. It has been proposed that the multiple breakage events occur at a single point in time. Here we introduce the term anachromosome to describe an abnormal chromosome produced by chromothripsis. We report two cases of acute myeloid leukemia matching the description of chromothripsis that illustrate different aspects of this phenom ...[more]

Project description:In colorectal cancer (CRC), chromosomal instability (CIN) is typically studied using comparative-genomic hybridization (CGH) arrays. We studied paired (tumor and surrounding healthy) fresh-frozen tissue from 86 CRC patients using Illumina’s Infinium-based SNP array. This method allowed us to study CIN in CRC, with simultaneous analysis of copy number (CN) and B-allele frequency (BAF), which is a representation of allelic composition. This data helped us to detect mono-allelic and bi-allelic amplifications/deletion, copy neutral loss of heterozygosity, and levels of mosaicism for mixed cell populations, some of which can not be assessed with other methods that do not measure BAF. We identified associations between CN abnormalities and different CRC phenotypes (MSI, histological diagnosis, location, tumor grade, stage, MSI and presence of lymph node metastasis). We showed commonalities between regions of CN change observed in CRC and the regions reported in previous studies of other solid cancers (e.g., amplifications of 20q, 13q, 8q, 5p and deletions of 18q, 17p and 8p). From the Therapeutic Target Database we found relevant drugs, targeted to the genes located in these regions with CN changes, approved or in trials for other cancers and common diseases. These drugs may be considered for future therapeutic trials in CRC, based on personalized cytogenetic diagnosis. We also found many regions harboring genes which are not currently targeted by any relevant drugs that may be considered for future drug discovery studies. Our study shows the application of high-density SNP arrays for cytogenetic study in CRC and its importance for personalized treatment. DNA was extracted from colon tissue samples provided by 86 CRC patients. Each patient provided paired CRC tumor tissue and adjacent normal colon mucosa samples, which were fresh-frozen after resection. Samples were genotyped using Illumina's Infinium-based 610 Quad and CytoSNP 12 microarray chips. The genotype data from paired tumor and normal samples was used to detect tumor-specific chromosomal instabilities in copy number, including copy-neutral LOH, which cannot be assessed by many other cytogenetic methods. Supplementary file "GSE34678_raw_GPL8887.txt" includes the raw data for Samples using GPL8887 (GSM853162-GSM853239); supplementary file "GSE34678_raw_GPL13829.txt" includes the raw data for Samples using GPL13829 (GSM853240-GSM853363).
