Genomic alterations caused by HPV integration in a cohort of Chinese endocervical adenocarcinomas.

ABSTRACT: The association between human papillomavirus (HPV) integration and relevant genomic changes in uterine cervical adenocarcinoma is poorly understood. This study is to depict the genomic mutational landscape in a cohort of 20 patients. HPV+ and HPV- groups were defined as patients with and without HPV integration in the host genome. The genetic changes between these two groups were described and compared by whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and whole-exome sequencing (WES). WGS identified 2916 copy number variations and 743 structural variations. WES identified 6113 somatic mutations, with a mutational burden of 2.4 mutations/Mb. Six genes were predicted as driver genes: PIK3CA, KRAS, TRAPPC12, NDN, GOLGA6L4 and BAIAP3. PIK3CA, NDN, GOLGA6L4, and BAIAP3 were recognized as significantly mutated g
