Abstract
Birth weight is an established risk factor for some pediatric cancers but is dependent on gestational age and sex. Furthermore, it is unclear how associations may differ by infant sex, age at diagnosis, maternal race/ethnicity and maternal nativity status. We examined the association between size for gestation and a spectrum of pediatric cancers registered in the Texas Cancer Registry from 1995 to 2011. We analyzed up to 7547 cases and 37 735 controls. Analyses were conducted using logistic regression. Small-for-gestational age (SGA) and large-for-gestational age (LGA) were significantly associated with several tumors. SGA was associated with hepatic tumors (aOR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.13, 2.74). Conversely, inverse associations were with Hodgkin lymphoma (aOR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.19, 0.87) and soft tissue sarcomas (aOR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.43, 0.97). LGA was associated with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (aOR = 1.37, 95% CI: 1.19, 1.57), Burkitt lymphoma (aOR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.05, 3.45) and germ cell tumors (aOR = 1.55, 95% CI: 1.08, 2.23). Results did not differ when stratified by infant sex. The association with LGA and leukemia was strongest in those diagnosed 1 to 5 and 6 to 10 years. When stratified by maternal race/ethnicity, the association with LGA and neuroblastoma and renal tumors was strongest in children whose mother identified as non-Hispanic/Latina (H/L) Black. Among H/L women, children of Mexican-born women had a stronger association with LGA and leukemia, CNS tumors, neuroblastoma and renal tumors than children of US-born women (aOR range: 1.61-2.25 vs 1.12-1.27). Size for gestation is associated with several pediatric cancers. Associations may differ by age at diagnosis, maternal race/ethnicity and nativity.

[PMID: 36565795 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2022.147128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evidence suggests that ETV6/RUNX1 translocation in pediatric acute lymphocytic leukemia shows geographical variation. Therefore, the present study aimed at unveiling the incidence of ETV6/RUNX1 fusion in pediatric acute lymphocytic leukemia cases of this region using fluorescent in-situ hybridization. Besides, we aimed to determine the incidence of MLL gene rearrangement and the pattern of chromosomal abnormalities in this study group. METHODS Samples from 57 acute lymphocytic leukemia cases of pediatric age group were subjected to fluorescent in-situ hybridization and conventional cytogenetic analysis using standard methods. RESULTS Conventional cytogenetic analysis revealed chromosomal abnormalities in 19.3% cases. The other major chromosomal abnormalities reported were monosomies in 10.5%, hypodiploidy in 7%, marker chromosomes in 3.5% and deletions in 3.5% cases. We found a 44,XX,-7,-18, r(5), i(17q) complex karyotype in one of the cases. Fluorescent in-situ hybridization analysis revealed ETV6/RUNX1 translocation to be present in 28.07% cases and MLL gene rearrangement in 3.5% cases. 12.5% of ETV6/RUNX1 fusion positive cases were found to have a loss of ETV6 allele. Besides, 8.8% cases were found to exhibit a signal pattern suggestive of RUNX1 amplification. ETV6 gene deletion and MLL gene amplification was detected in 3.5% cases each, of our study. CONCLUSIONS Frequency of ETV6/RUNX1 fusion oncogene was found to be higher in pediatric ALL cases of Kashmir region as compared to that reported from other parts of India. Besides, a case was found to have a karyotype viz 44,XX,-7,-18, r(5), i(17q) that has not been reported elsewhere in the childhood ALL.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Conserved Telomere Maintenance Component 1 (CTC1) and Its Association with Leukemia. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11195780. [PMID: 36233645 PMCID: PMC9571731 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11195780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Telomere length (TEL) regulation is important for genome stability and is governed by the coordinated role of shelterin proteins, telomerase (TERT), and CST (CTC1/OBFC1/TEN1) complex. Previous studies have shown the association of telomerase expression with the risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, no data are available for CST association with the ALL. The current pilot study was designed to evaluate the CST expression levels in ALL. In total, 350 subjects were recruited, including 250 ALL cases and 100 controls. The subjects were stratified by age and categorized into pediatrics (1–18 years) and adults (19–54 years). TEL and expression patterns of CTC1, OBFC1, and TERT genes were determined by qPCR. The univariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association of gene expression with ALL, and the results were adjusted for age and sex in multivariable analyses. Pediatric and adult cases did not reflect any change in telomere lengths relative to controls. However, expression of CTC1, OBFC1, and TERT genes were induced among ALL cases. Multivariable logistic regression analyses showed association of CTC1 with ALL in pediatric [β estimate (standard error (SE)= −0.013 (0.007), p = 0.049, and adults [0.053 (0.023), p = 0.025]. The association of CTC1 remained significant when taken together with OBFC1 and TERT in a multivariable model. Furthermore, CTC1 showed significant association with B-cell ALL [−0.057(0.017), p = 0.002) and T-cell ALL [−0.050 (0.018), p = 0.008] in pediatric group while no such association was noted in adults. Together, our findings demonstrated that telomere modulating genes, particularly CTC1, are strongly associated with ALL. Therefore, CTC1 can potentially be used as a risk biomarker for the identification of ALL in both pediatrics and adults.

Abstract
Around 85% of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) are of B-cell origin and characterized by the presence of different translocations including BCR-ABL1, ETV6-RUNX1, E2A-PBX1, and MLL fusion proteins. The current clinical investigations used to identify ETV6-RUNX1 translocation include FISH and fusion transcript specific PCR. In the current study we assessed the utility of IGF2BP1, an oncofetal RNA binding protein, that is over expressed specifically in ETV6-RUNX1 translocation positive B-ALL to be used as a diagnostic marker in the clinic. Further, public transcriptomic and Crosslinked Immunoprecipitation (CLIP) datasets were analyzed to identify the putative targets of IGF2BP1. We also studied the utility of using the mRNA expression of two such targets, MYC and EGFL7 as potential diagnostic markers separately or in conjunction with IGF2BP1. We observed that the expression of IGF2BP1 alone measured by RT-qPCR is highly sensitive and specific to be used as a potential biomarker for the presence of ETV6-RUNX1 translocation in future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of structural abnormalities in high hyperdiploidy (HeH) has been debatable, with few studies that addressed recurrent translocations with concurrent HeH (t-HeH). We aimed at the characterization of HeH cases in pediatric B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients with special emphasis on the structural abnormalities including t-HeH. PATIENTS AND METHODS Our study included all patients diagnosed with HeH over the period from January 2016 to April 2019 presenting to the Pediatric Oncology Department, National Cancer Institute, Cairo University. RESULTS Among 480 de novo B-ALL pediatric patients, HeH was detected in eighty (16.7%) cases with a median age of 5 years. t-HeH was identified in 17/480 (3.5%) cases: 9(1.9%) with t(12;21), 7(1.5%) with t(9;22), and 1(0.2%) with t(4;11). Duplication (1q) was the most prevalent structural abnormality in c-HeH (hyperdiploidy without recurrent translocations) (n = 12,15%). Children ≥10 years or presenting with white blood cells (WBC) ≥50 × 109 /L) had an inferior 3 year-overall survival as compared to younger children (P = .003), and to lower WBC (P = .02). Duplication (1q) was an independent adverse parameter on the disease-free survival (DFS) of c-HeH patients (P = .004). CONCLUSIONS Older age and WBC ≥ 50 × 109 /L were adverse prognostic factors. Duplication (1q) is correlated with lower DFS in c-HeH patients. t-HeH has distinct patterns of chromosomal gain.

Novel GTF2I- PDGFRB and IKZF1- TYW1 fusions in pediatric leukemia with normal karyotype. Exp Hematol Oncol 2019; 8:12.

Abstract
Background Many cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) carry visible acquired chromosomal changes of pathogenetic, diagnostic, and prognostic importance. Nevertheless, from one-fourth to half of newly diagnosed ALL patients have no visible chromosomal changes detectable by G-banding analysis at diagnosis. The introduction of powerful molecular methodologies has shown that many karyotypically normal ALLs carry clinically important submicroscopic aberrations. Case presentation We used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), RNA sequencing, reverse transcription (RT) and genomic polymerase chain reaction (PCR), as well as Sanger sequencing to investigate a case of pediatric ALL with a normal karyotype. FISH with a commercial PDGFRB breakapart probe showed loss of the distal part of the probe suggesting a breakpoint within the PDGFRB locus. aCGH revealed submicroscopic deletions in chromosome bands 5q32q35.3 (about 30 Mb long, starting within PDGFRB and finishing in the CANX locus), 7q34 (within TCRB), 9p13 (PAX5), 10q26.13 (DMBT1), 14q11.2 (TRAC), and 14q32.33 (within the IGH locus). RNA sequencing detected an in-frame GTF2I–PDGFRB and an out-of-frame IKZF1–TYW1 fusion transcript. Both fusion transcripts were verified by RT-PCR together with Sanger sequencing and interphase FISH. The GTF2I–PDGFRB fusion was also verified by genomic PCR and FISH. The corresponding GTF2I–PDGFRB fusion protein would consist of almost the entire GTF2I and that part of PDGFRB which harbors the catalytic domain of the tyrosine kinase. It would therefore seem to lead to abnormal tyrosine kinase activity in a manner similar to what has been seen for other PDGFRB fusion proteins. Conclusions The examined pediatric leukemia is a Ph-like ALL which carries novel GTF2I–PDGFRB and IKZF1–TYW1 fusion genes together with additional submicroscopic deletions. Because hematologic neoplasms with PDGFRB-fusion genes can be treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, the detection of such novel fusions may be clinically important. Since the GTF2I–PDGFRB could be detected only after molecular studies of the leukemic cells, further investigations of ALL-cases, perhaps especially but not exclusively with a normal karyotype, are needed in order to determine the frequency of GTF2I–PDGFRB in leukemia, and also to find out which clinical impact the fusion may have.
