Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) with a multi-gene panel is now available for patients with lung adenocarcinoma, but the performance characteristics and clinical utility of this testing are not well-described. We present the results of an extended 467 gene panel in a series of advanced, highly selected nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients using a range of specimens, including predominantly small biopsy and cytology specimens. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 22 NSCLC biopsies sent for NGS using an extended gene panel from January 2014 to July 2015. The customized NGS panel sequences 467 cancer-associated genes with exonic and intronic sequences obtained from purified tumor DNA. Genomic alterations, patient characteristics, and success of testing were determined. Results: The majority of samples tested were metastatic lung adenocarcinoma on final pathology. Of the 22 specimens tested, 5 (22.7%) were surgical resections and 17 (77.3%) were small biopsy and cytology specimens. Twenty-one (95%) of the specimens were adequate for full sequencing and yielded a total of 204 genomic alterations (average 8.9 per tumor), of which 17 (average 0.81 per tumor) were actionable and/or clinically relevant. Genomic alterations were found most commonly in the TP53, EGFR, EPHB1, MLL3, APC, SETD2, KRAS, DNMT3A, RB1, CDKN2A, ARID1A, EP300, KDM6B, RAD50, STK11, and BRCA2 genes. Conclusions: NGS using a comprehensive gene panel was performed successfully in 95% of all NSCLC cases in this series, including 94% small biopsy and cytology specimens and 100% surgical resections. This custom assay was performed on a range of tumor specimens and demonstrates that small specimens are able to provide a similar depth of information as larger ones. As many patients present at an advanced stage and only small specimens are obtained, the information these provide has the potential for guiding treatment in highly selected patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma.

Background: Analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has remarkable potential as a non-invasive lung cancer molecular diagnostic method. This prospective study addressed the clinical value of a targeted-gene amplicon-based plasma next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay to detect actionable mutations in ctDNA in patients with newly diagnosed advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: ctDNA test performance and concordance with tissue NGS were determined, and the correlation between ctDNA findings, clinical features, and clinical outcomes was evaluated in 115 patients with paired plasma and tissue samples. Results: Targeted-gene NGS-based ctDNA and NGS-based tissue analysis detected 54 and 63 genomic alterations, respectively; 11 patients presented co-mutations, totalizing 66 hotspot mutations detected, 51 on both tissue and plasma, 12 exclusively on tissue, and 3 exclusively on plasma. NGS-based ctDNA revealed a diagnostic performance with 81.0% sensitivity, 95.3% specificity, 94.4% PPV, 83.6% NPV, test accuracy of 88.2%, and Cohen’s Kappa 0.764. PFS and OS assessed by both assays did not significantly differ. Detection of ctDNA alterations was statistically associated with metastatic disease (p = 0.013), extra-thoracic metastasis (p = 0.004) and the number of organs involved (p = 0.010). Conclusions: This study highlights the potential use of ctDNA for mutation detection in newly diagnosed NSCLC patients due to its high accuracy and correlation with clinical outcomes.

Background:Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (sAID) are a group of conditions with recurrent episodes of inflammation in absence of infection or autoimmune response. Its physiopathology mainly lies on mono/poligenic mutations involving genes related to the innate immune system response. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platformss have been a big step forward on sAID diagnosis, although a clinical and genetic correlation is still needed.Objectives:To review the sAID related gene panel variants identified using NGS sAID gene panel on a cohort of adult patients screened for sAID from a referral third-level hospital.To correlate genetic and clinical findings for sAID related variants identified in order to the clinical suspicion diagnosis of sAID.Methods:A retrospective review of a cohort of adult (≥ 16 yo) patients with available NGS sAID related gene panel (MiSeq Illumina sequencing platform including intron and exon variants from up to 17 sAID genes, with coverage depth > x100) among 2014 and 2019 was performed.Demographic, clinical and genetic data were collected in a database.Genetic variants were classified according to the American College of Medical Genetics/Association for Molecular Pathology classification as benign/likely benign/variable of unknown significance (VUS)/likely pathogenic/pathogenic. In case of polymorphisms or lack of genetic data, the variants were named as unclassified.A description of the cohort and an analysis of the correlation assessment between clinical data and genetic findings were performed.Results:246 out of 299 (82%) patients with NGS sAID gene panel had clinical data available. 170/246 (69%) were adult patients. The medium age was 48 yo, and the M/F ratio was 2.46. 87/170 (51%) adult patients presented 122 variants involving sAID genes (60/87 patients with a single variant). All the variants out of 7 seven were heterozygous variants.Variants were classified according to ACMG/AMP as follow: pathogenic/probably pathogenic: 22/122 (18%), unknown significance: 74/122 (60.6%), benign/probably benign: 6/122 (4.91%). 20/122 (16.4%) were unclassified variants or polymorphisms.The most frequent variants identified involved MEFV (54/122), NOD2/CARD15 (18/122) and TNFRSF1A (17/122 including 12 p.Arg121Gln variants) genes.37/122 (30%) variants correlated with the clinical picture in 33 patients, allowing to confirm the suspected diagnosis. Among the 122 variants, 7 not previously communicated variants were identified.No somatic variants were found.Conclusion:NGS sAID related gene panel is a useful tool for sAID diagnosis. In this cohort of 170 adult patients from a referral third-level hospital, genetic tests identified sAID related variants in almost half of them.20% of patients who underwent genetic NGS sAID related gene panel studies were finally diagnosed with sAID.The identification of a genetic variant (even pathogenic / likely pathogenic variant) is not diagnostic for sAID if there is not a suggestive clinical picture.Despite genetic findings, a careful evaluation of clinical – genetic correlation is needed to confirm the suspicion diagnosis, especially for low penetrance variants like TNFRSF1A p. Arg121Gln.References:Diagnostic utility of a targeted next-generation sequencing gene panel in the clinical suspicion of systemic autoinflammatory diseases: a multi-center study.
