Genetic analysis of parathyroid and pancreatic tumors in a patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 using whole-exome sequencing

Abstract: BackgroundMultiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder characterized by the presence of endocrine tumors affecting the parathyroid, pancreas, and pituitary. A heterozygous germline inactivating mutation in the MEN1 gene (first hit) may be followed by somatic loss of the remaining normal copy or somatic mutations in the MEN1 gene (second hit). Whole-exome sequencing has been successfully used to elucidate the mutations associated with the different types of tu… Show more

“…That chromosome 11 is important for parathyroid pathobiology is already known because the MEN1 gene is located at 11q13 and MEN1 inactivating mutations or loss of heterozygosis at chromosome 11 are the most frequent genomic alteration in PAds. (34) In line with this, we show that chr11-LOH categorizes PAds into two different lncRNA expression classes and MEN1-silencing in PAds-derived cultures increases NEAT1, BC200, HOXA3as, SNHG6, HAR1B, and ZFAS1 lncRNA expression. This observation is confirmed in primary PAd tissues, where tumors with MEN1 gene loss show a general increase of the expression of lncRNAs.…”

“…A heterogeneity among tumors even in the same patient, suggesting that different tumor-specific tumorigenic mechanisms may contribute to the pathogenesis of MEN1 tumors. The present study supports the clinical applicability of the WES strategy to research on multiple tumor samples and blood [9,10].…”

“…So far, the few available NGS studies evaluating the MEN1 gene have applied WES or WGS approaches, confirming the presence of occasional somatic MEN1 mutations in several sporadic tumors beyond biallelic MEN1 inactivation in parathyroid tissues from MEN1 patients (35,36,37,38,39). Germline MEN1 mutations were analyzed in three studies using WES, in a large primary hyperparathyroidism family and in five MEN1 cases (38,39,40). Also, a 22 genes tNGS panel including MEN1 was recently applied to investigate somatic mutations in sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (41).…”
