Myeloma immunoglobulin rearrangement and translocation detection through targeted capture sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell neoplasm characterized by clonal immunoglobulin V(D)J signatures and oncogenic immunoglobulin gene translocations. Additional subclonal genomic changes are acquired with myeloma progression and therapeutic selection. PCR-based methods to detect V(D)J rearrangements can have biases introduced by highly multiplexed reactions and primers undermined by somatic hypermutation, and are not readily extended to include mutation detection. Here, we report a hybrid-capture approach (CapIG-seq) targeting the 3' and 5' ends of the V and J segments of all immunoglobulin loci that enable the efficient detection of V(D)J rearrangements. We also included baits for oncogenic translocations and mutation detection. We demonstrate complete concordance with matched whole-genome
