Deep Genomic Sequencing of Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma in Southern Chinese Patients: A Single-Center Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC) is a common urological malignancy with molecular heterogeneity. However, the genetic feature of Chinese BUC patients is still not well-identified.

Methods

We performed deep sequencing by a large panel (450 genes) on 22 BUC samples and using matched normal bladder tissue as control. Genomic alterations (GAs), pathways and Tumor Mutation Burden (TMB) were investigated.

Results

The frequencies of GAs (TERT, 54.5%; CREBBP, 27.3%; GATA3, 22.7%; BRAF, 18.2%; TEK, 18.2% and GLI1, 18.2%) were significantly higher in Chinese than Western BUC patients. Other GAs' frequencies were in accordance with previous study (TP53, 50.0%; KDM6A, 31.8%; KMT2D, 22.7%; etc.). Besides, w
