Non-invasive detection of urothelial cancer through the analysis of driver gene mutations and aneuploidy

چکیده
Current non-invasive approaches for detection of urothelial cancers are suboptimal. We developed a test to detect urothelial neoplasms using DNA recovered from cells shed into urine. UroSEEK incorporates massive parallel sequencing assays for mutations in 11 genes and copy number changes on 39 chromosome arms. In 570 patients at risk for bladder cancer (BC), UroSEEK was positive in 83% of those who developed BC. Combined with cytology, UroSEEK detected 95% of patients who developed BC. Of 56 patients with upper tract urothelial cancer, 75% tested positive by UroSEEK, including 79% of those with non-invasive tumors. UroSEEK detected genetic abnormalities in 68% of urines obtained from BC patients under surveillance who demonstrated clinical evidence of recurrence. The advantages of UroSEEK over cytology were evident in low-grade BCs; UroSEEK detected 67% of cases whereas cytology detected none. These results establish the foundation for a new non-invasive approach for detection of urothelial cancer.

متن کاملDetection of Mutations in Exons 5 and 8 of Tumor Suppressor Tp53 Gene in Patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Lung Hospitalized in Afzalipour Hospital, Kerman, Iran
Introduction: Despite improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer in the past two decades, it has remained the most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. Among all genes that are mutated in lung cancer, TP53 located on chromosome 17P13/1 has a significant diagnostic and prognostic value. TP53 mutations have been extensively studied in lung cancer and TP53 mutational spectr...
متن کاملDetection of P 53 gene mutations in exons 5 and 8 in patients of familial breast cancer with PCR-SSCP methode.
Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer of women in the world. Although different genetic alteration has been reported in this malignancy, but P 53 gene mutations has more frequency. P 53 gene is one of the most important suppressor genes and it play a central role in breast cancer and detecting of mutations in this gene would be very helpful in understanding of genetic m...

The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility of using an economic and practical method in order to perform non-invasive prenatal testing of thalassemia as a sing gene disorder.Sixteen (16) pregnant mothers in the 11th week of pregnancy who were referred for prenatal diagnosis of thalassemia were selected. The parents had one of IVSII-1, IVSI-5 or FR codon 8/9 mutations. Enrichment of cf...
متن کاملO-45: Quantification of Cell-Free-Fetal-DNAfrom Maternal Plasma for the First Time in Pakistan:Implications for Non-Invasive PrenatalDiagnosis of Genetic Disorders
Background: Current prenatal diagnosis requires invasive testing which carries a 1-4% procedure-related-risk of miscarriage; hence, non-invasive techniques are desired. The recent demonstration of cell-free-fetal-DNA enriched from maternal plasma has opened new possibilities for non-invasive-prenatal-diagnosis of not only genetic-disorders such as β-thalassaemia and haemophilia but also chromos...
