GIInger predicts homologous recombination deficiency and patient response to PARPi treatment from shallow genomic profiles.

ABSTRACT: Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is a predictive biomarker for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 inhibitor (PARPi) sensitivity. Routine HRD testing relies on identifying BRCA mutations, but additional HRD-positive patients can be identified by measuring genomic instability (GI), a consequence of HRD. However, the cost and complexity of available solutions hamper GI testing. We introduce a deep learning framework, GIInger, that identifies GI from HRD-induced scarring observed in low-pass whole-genome sequencing data. GIInger seamlessly integrates into standard BRCA testing workflows and yields reproducible results concordant with a reference method in a multisite study of 327 ovarian cancer samples. Applied to a BRCA wild-type enriched subgroup of 195 PAOLA-1 clinical trial patients, G
