Abstract:
Objective:To investigate gene mutation characteristics of primary central nervous system lymphoma(PCNSL)through whole exome sequencing(WES)to 18 patients with PCNSL.Methods:Tumor tissues from 18 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who were diagnosed with PCNSL in Department of Hematology,Lanzhou University Second Hospital from September 2018 to December 2020 and had normal immune function,no history of HIV or immunosuppressant therapy were collected.High-throughput-based WES was performed on the tumor tissues,with an average sequencing depth of＞100 x.After data processing and bioinformatics analysis of sequencing results,the mutation maps and mutation characteristics of 18 PCNSL patients were obtained.Results:Obvious somatic mutations were detected in all 18 patients.The median number of somatic mutations was 321.Missense mutations were most prominent(accounting for about 90％),and the mutation type was dominated by C＞T(50.2％),reflecting the age-related mutation pattern.Among the top 15 frequently mutated genes,PSD3,DUSP5,MAGEB16,TELO2,FMO2,TRMT13,AOC1,PIGZ,SVEP1,IP6K3,and TIAM1 were the driver genes.The enrichment results of driver gene pathways showed that RTK-RAS,Wnt,NOTCH,Hippo and Cell-Cycle pathways were significantly enriched.The tumor mutation burden was between 3.558 48/Mb and 8.780 89/Mb,and the average was 4.953 32/Mb,which was significantly higher than other cancer research cohorts in the TCGA database.Conclusions:PCNSL occurs somatic missense mutations frequently,mainly point mutations,and the mutation type is mainly C＞T.The driver genes are mainly involved in RTK-RAS,Wnt,NOTCH and Hippo pathways,indicating that the above pathways may be related to the pathogenesis of PCNSL.PCNSL has a significantly high tumor mutation burden,which may explain the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors in PCNSL.
