Abstract
Implications for Practice In this study, 192 (4.9%) kidney tumors that featured NF2 genomic alterations (GA) were found. Among histologic subtypes of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), aggressive variants, such as [...]
Genomic alterations (GA) in NF2 tumor-suppressor gene have been associated with aggressive behavior in kidney tumors. We used comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) to evaluate the frequencies of NF2 GA in histologic subtypes of kidney tumors and co- occurring GA in other genes and biomarkers. Advanced kidney tumors included 1875 clear cell (ccRCC), 405 papillary (pRCC), 108 chromophobe (chRCC), 171 sarcomatoid (sRCC), 61 collecting duct (cdRCC), 49 medullary (mRCC), 134 unclassified (uRCC), 906 urothelial carcinoma of renal pelvis (UC), and 147 Wilms tumors underwent hybrid-capture based CGP to evaluate all classes of GA. 192 (4.9%) of kidney tumors featured NF2 GA which were predominantly structural variant mutations (89%), followed by copy number alterations (9%). Gender and age were similar between NF2-mutant (NF2mut) and NF2-wild type (NF2wt) cohorts with male preponderance. NF2 GA frequency was highest in cdRCC (30%), sRCC (21%), uRCC (15%), and pRCC (12%) while lowest in ccRCC (3%), UC (3%) Wilms tumor (1%), and chRCC (0%). NF2 mutational status was associated with loss of Ch 22 (P Key words: NF2; genomic alteration; kidney tumors; renal cell carcinoma; comprehensive genomic profiling; PD-L1.
