Abstract
Recurrent somatic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in cancer are largely confined to protein coding genes, and are rare in most pediatric cancers1–3. We report highly recurrent hotspot mutations of U1 spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) in ~50% of Sonic Hedgehog medulloblastomas (Shh-MB), which were not present across other medulloblastoma subgroups. This U1-snRNA hotspot mutation (r.3a>g), was identified in <0.1% of 2,442 cancers across 36 other tumor types. Largely absent from infant Shh-MB, the mutation occurs in 97% of adults (Shhδ), and 25% of adolescents (Shhα). The U1-snRNA mutation occurs in the 5′ splice site binding region, and snRNA mutant tumors have significantly disrupted RNA splicing with an excess of 5′ cryptic splicing events. Mutant U1-snRNA mediated alternative splicing inactivates tumor suppressor genes (PTCH1), and activates oncogenes (GLI2, CCND2), represents a novel target for therapy, and constitutes a highly recurrent and tissue-specific mutation of a non-protein coding gene in cancer.
