KMT2C mutation

Meanwhile, KMT2C mutation was associated with higher tumor mutation burden, MSI score, higher levels of immune-associated T cells, neutrophil, and M1-type macrophages. Our study suggested that KMT2C mutation might be a potential positive predictor for CRC immunotherapy.

The DNA-methylation profile, using a t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding analysis, evidenced that MAM (pure or associated with meningiomas) clustered in a separate group from pediatric meningiomas. The present results seem to suggest that MAM represents a neoplastic lesion and encourage the further study of similar additional series so that it may be included in a future WHO classification.

Monosomy 7's prevalence and the occurrence of PTPN11 mutations suggest predictive and prognostic significance. Clonal evolution underscores the complexity of disease progression.

Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the genetic factors associated with PCa susceptibility in different age groups, especially among the Brazilian population. This is the first investigation to explore germline variants specifically in younger Brazilian PCa patients, with high relevance given the genetic diversity of the population in Brazil. Additionally, our work presents evidence of functionally deleterious germline variants within the KMT2C gene among Brazilian PCa patients. The identification of novel and functionally significant variants in the KMT2C gene emphasizes its potential role in PCa development and warrants further investigation.

Our droplet digital PCR results showed high sensitivity and accuracy for quantitatively detecting gene mutations, whereas conventional qPCR could not avoid false positives. In conclusion, droplet digital PCR is a highly sensitive and precise method for assessing the expression of mutations with tumorigenic potential for the development of stem cell-based therapeutics.

Forty samples from patients receiving rituximab-containing immunochemotherapy were analyzed...Analysis of ctDNA mutations in plasma at diagnosis might help predict outcome of disease, while analysis during follow-up may help to monitor disease status of patients with advanced FL. However, the feasibility of ctDNA measurement must be improved in order for it to become an appropriate and clinically relevant test in FL patients.

Noteworthy BRAF and ARID2 protein expression decreases detected in patients with their respective mutations. The integration of our analyses furnishes crucial insights into CRC's molecular characteristics, drug responsiveness, and the construction of a four-gene mutation signature for predicting CRC prognosis.

This changed the activity of multiple genes/gene clusters, supporting oncogenicity mostly via pathways of signaling, dedifferentiation, proliferation, migration, immune and inflammatory deregulation, indicating a truly epigenetic event as the root cause for the heterogeneous diversity of these enteric types of cancer. The data of this study form the basis for understanding cell fate determination and cellular homeostasis in the normal respiratory mucosa at different anatomic sites and show the contribution of different mucosal components to the etiology/molecular pathology of ITAC.

This work demonstrates that while general inflammatory changes are evident at the tumor level with CH, there is a critical need to recognize the nuances of CH-associated immune mechanisms in cancer, which appear to vary by cancer type and CH driver. Ongoing efforts will continue to characterize the TIME of the other TCGA cancers through transcriptomic analysis and in situ histological imaging. This study also provides some early clinical evidence for the selection of KMT2C variants in cancer patients, though more work is needed to understand their clonal dynamics and clinical implications.

Conclusion We report for the first time that patients with autoimmune cytopenias have a high frequency of variants in MT genes. Median allelic frequency close to 50% suggests potential germline predisposition to immune dysregulation and autoimmunity however further studies are needed to better understand the impact of these observations.

Our results offer novel insights into the genomic landscape and clonal trajectory of AML with abn(7). This work unravels formerly underestimated genetic lesions (KMT2Cmut) and alterations with high prognostic impact (abnTP53 and IDH2mut) for better future risk stratification.

These results support the hypothesis that loss of KMT2C function decreases the expression of the HRR factors in H-FLACs. H-FLACs with low KMT2C expression may be a good indication for poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor-based therapy.

We found that mutation distribution varied according to PET/CT results, with patients exhibiting FL > 3 showing a higher frequency of PABPC1 and KMT2C mutations. Further studies are warranted to gain a better understanding of the genetic background associated with positive PET/CT findings in MM.

KMT2C A2254T has only been reported in astrocytoma. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of FBXW7 and KMT2C mutations in FDCS, which may indicate biologic and therapeutic relevance (Figure 1.82, A–D).

However, keratin 20 positivity can also be found in occasional non-ESC tumors. The morphologic spectrum of ESC is probably broader than previously thought, as only 3 of the most convincing 11 ESC tumors were originally diagnosed as such.

Penile squamous cell carcinoma (pSCC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy in the advanced setting, with poor prognosis and little success with immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in an unselected patient approach. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a known risk factor for pSCC; its impact on genomic tumor profiling is less defined. Using next-generation sequencing, we explored the genetic landscape and ICI-related biomarkers of pSCC and HPV-driven oncogenic molecular signatures. Our results indicate that HPV-positive and HPV-negative pSCCs are molecularly distinct tumors. Increased tumor mutational burden is associated with HPV-positive tumors, and could serve as a biomarker for predicting therapeutic response to ICI-based therapies. Our results support the growing literature indicating that HPV status in pSCC can be used to guide patient stratification in ICI-based clinical trials.

In addition, KMT2C mutations were positively correlated with favorable outcomes in immune checkpoint inhibitor-treated pan-cancer patients and associated with higher intratumoral CD3 , CD8 tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte counts, and PD-L1 expression in GRC samples (p = 0.018, 0.092, 0.047, 0.010, and 0.034, respectively). Our dataset provides a platform for information and knowledge mining of the genomic characteristics of GRC and helps to frame new therapeutic approaches for this disease.

Conclusions KMT2C loss-of-function in breast cancer may impact DNA damage response pathways including homologous recombination and therefore be implicated in response to established treatments such as PARP-inhibitors. Further study including mapping of co-dependencies by whole genome siRNA screens in KMT2C-mutant breast cancer cells to identify synthetic lethality targets, as well as cell toxicity assays, are being performed in light of these results.

Significant differences in the prevalence of EGFR alterations were observed across races, with specific co-mutations like KMT2C and GLI1 occurring more frequently in AA compared to CA and API patients. KMT2C may be linked to higher TMB and immunotherapy response, while GLI1 has been shown to be involved in erlotinib resistance. Variabilities in alterations across races may inform more effective treatment strategies for LCa patients.

The genomic mutational landscape of PCa differs based on HPV infection status. This work adds evidence for the direct involvement of HPV in PCa etiology. Different genomic features render HPV-positive PCa a unique subpopulation that might benefit from virus-targeted therapy.

Lastly, we investigated the predictive value of KMT2C mutations in individuals receiving conventional combined anti-androgen blockade (CAB) and abiraterone (ABI) as measured by PSA progression-free survival (PSA-PFS)...KMT2C-mutated patients showed worse survival compared to KMT2C-WT patients in terms of both CRFS and OS, and KMT2C mutations were associated with STK11 and CTNNB1 mutations. Furthermore, KMT2C mutations indicated rapid progression during CAB therapy and could serve as a potential biomarker to predict therapeutic response in prostate cancer.

SEC fractions were then separated by 3-8% Tris-acetate gradient polyacrylamide gel and the COMPASS complex subunits KMT2C, UTX, WDR5, and RBBP5 were detected by immunoblotting. In this fashion, the formation of a COMPASS complex could be observed in UC cells with wild-type but not in cells with mutant KMT2C and KMTD.

Our study, as the first breast tumor/normal sequencing study in Hungary, revealed several aspects of the significantly mutated genes and mutational signatures, and some of the copy number variations and somatic fusion events. Multiple signs of HRD were detected, highlighting the value of the comprehensive genomic characterization of breast cancer patient populations.

We observed significant differences in mutational spectra, gene expression, and relevant transcriptional signatures between patients with genetically determined African and European ancestries, particularly within the HR+/HER2- BC and TNBC subtypes. These findings could guide future development of treatment strategies by providing opportunities for biomarker-informed research and, ultimately, clinical decisions for precision oncology care in diverse populations.

Taken together, these results suggested that KMT2C/D LOF variants could be a useful predictor for ICIs efficacy in colorectal cancer. Meanwhile, the predictive value of KMT2C/D LOF variants was consistent with their association with TILs levels.

NBPF1 gene has been shown to be mostly mutated in follicular lymphoma patients specifically resistant to ibrutinib...A more detailed catalog of the involved genes and analysis of additional samples will be presented at the meeting. In conclusion, this is first study which focuses on the genetic profiling of early lesions (IgM-MGUS and aWM) in patients with IgM monoclonal gammopathies and suggests that increasing mutation burden could represent a potential biomarker for the identification of patients at high risk of progression.

Peripheral mononuclear cell samples obtained from 19 HL patients treated at our center with ICI (14 nivolumab only, 1 pembrolizumab only, and 4 both) were sequenced. Prior studies have demonstrated that KMT2C deletions enhance hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal and do give a fitness advantage in the presence of chemotherapy. None of the patients in our cohort has developed therapy-related MDS/AML though it could be a risk in the future.

Meanwhile, significant differences in the composition of the immune cells were observed for KMT2C and PEG3 mutations PAAD patients, for providing additional guidelines for antitumor treatments in various KMT2C and PEG3 mutation states in PAAD. This study reveals that KMT2C and PEG3 mutation may serve as biomarkers for predicting prognosis and guiding anti-PAAD immunotherapy for PAAD patients.

We identified the mutation in codon 321 was the hot spot of KMT2C in our patient cohort.Next, we used the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database to analyze the enriched pathways of KMT2C. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that patients with KMT2C mutations harbored significantly more mutations in genes involved in the Ubiquitin mediated proteolysis and Lysine degradation signaling pathway.

A potential correlation between AORT primary multi-drug resistance and KMT2C mutations is implied. Further studies are needed to determine the efficacy of PARP1/2 inhibitors for tumors with KMT2C mutations.
