Wu J, Zhou H, Yi X, He Q, Lei T, Tan F, Liu H, Li B. Targeted Deep Sequencing Reveals Unrecognized KIT Mutation Coexistent with NF1 Deficiency in GISTs. Cancer Manag Res 2021; 13:297-306. [PMID: 33469372 PMCID: PMC7811451 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s280174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2020] [Accepted: 12/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose NF1-deficient GISTs account for about 1% of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and are usually considered as a subtype of KIT/PDGFRA wild-type GISTs that have no detectable KIT and PDGFRA mutations. Some KIT/PDGFRA wild-type GISTs actually have cryptic KIT mutations (mKIT). So we investigate whether concurrent mKIT existed in NF1-associated GISTs. Patients and Methods Three independent cohorts were retrospectively analyzed. KIT/PDGFRA wild-type GISTs in Xiangya Hospital between May 2017 and Oct 2019 were investigated by next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach targeted 1021 cancer-related genes regions. GISTs cases in Gene+ dataset from May 2017 to May 2020 were collected from the platform of this company. The genotypes of GISTs in MSKCC cohort were downloaded from cBioPortal. Results A total of 290 cases including 23 KIT/PDGFRA wild-type GISTs in Xiangya Hospital, 136 GISTs in Gene+ database, and 131 GISTs in MSKCC were enrolled. Twenty-six cases have NF1 mutations (mNF1), and 48% (12/26) of NF1-mutated GISTs have concurrent mKIT. Compared with MSKCC (2/10, 20%), a higher ratio of mKIT in NF1-associated GISTs was detected in Xiangya Hospital (3/5, 60%) and Gene+ (7/11, 64%) (p<0.05). No mutation hotspot existed in mNF1. Most of mKIT centered within exon 11 (7/12, 58%) and others including exon 17 (3/12, 25%), exon 9(1/12, 8%), exon 13 (1/12, 8%) and exon 21 (1/12, 8%). No differences in age, gender, and location were detected between NF1-related GISTs with mKIT and those without mKIT. Three GIST cases of type I neurofibromatosis, skin neurofibromas and micro-GISTs (≤1 cm) were devoid of mKIT, but all the mini-GISTs (1~2 cm) and clinic GIST lesions (>2 cm) in two cases harbored mKIT. Conclusion mKIT was not unusual in NF1-associated GISTs, especially in Chinese populations. The gain-of-function mKIT possibly facilitated the progression of NF1-deficient lesions to clinic GISTs, however, the underlying mechanism warrants further studies.

Multiple heterochronic gastrointestinal stromal tumors in the stomach detected 6 years after resection: a case report. Surg Case Rep 2020; 6:48. [PMID: 32146688 PMCID: PMC7060937 DOI: 10.1186/s40792-020-00812-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2020] [Accepted: 02/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background To date, only a few cases of multiple GISTs with different clones in different organs have been published. However, a case of multiple GISTs with different clones occurring in a single organ has never been reported. Case presentation A 41-year-old patient underwent laparoscopic partial gastrectomy for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in 2012. The pathological findings showed high-risk characteristics for recurrence, so he received adjuvant therapy with imatinib for 3 years. In 2018, 3 years after completing the adjuvant therapy, tumor lesions at residual gastric cardia were incidentally identified by follow-up computed tomography (CT). The pathological findings of the tumor biopsy revealed gastric GIST. He underwent secondary laparoscopic partial gastrectomy and was diagnosed with high-risk GIST. Adjuvant therapy with imatinib was restarted immediately. The two gastric GISTs had the same exon 11 mutations in the c-kit gene, but they had different missense mutations. This molecular heterogeneity suggested that they were derived from different origins. Conclusion We reported a multiple heterochronic GIST in the stomach detected 6 years after resection. There may be a possibility that another heterochronic GIST will occur in the remnant stomach in the future, so close follow-up will be needed.
