Purpose: Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) plays a crucial role in ovarian cancer patients who are treated with Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis). It could be defined as a prognosis biomarker. However, many high throughput sequencing methods for evaluating HRD, including HRDetect (WGS 10X), SigMA (WGS 40X or panel 1000X), and scarHRD (WGS 30X), are technically complex, time and data-storage consuming, and costly. Herein, we aimed to develop a low-cost method by low sequencing coverage to identify HRD status for precision medication.

Methods: We utilized ShallowHRD, a software tool to evaluate tumor HRD based on whole genome sequencing (WGS) at low coverage (1X), and established a novel scoring system, ShallowHRD score system.

Results: Compared with negative ShallowHRD status (ShallowHRD score < 15 or BRCA), positive ShallowHRD status (ShallowHRD score ≥ 15 or BRCA) presented favorable survival after being treated with PARPis.

Conclusion: The ShallowHRD status is a good biomarker for predicting prognosis, which could help guide the clinical application of PARPis in ovarian cancer patients by a cost-effective, time and data-storage saving method.

Purpose: Our study aimed to develop and validate a homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) scoring algorithm in the Chinese breast cancer population.

Methods And Materials: Ninety-six in-house breast cancer (BC) samples and 6 HRD-positive standard cells were analyzed by whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Besides, 122 BCs from the TCGA database were down-sampled to ~ 1X WGS.

Background: Low-pass whole-genome sequencing (LP-WGS)-based circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis is a versatile tool for somatic copy number aberration (CNA) detection, and this study aims to explore its clinical implication in breast cancer.

Methods: We analyzed LP-WGS ctDNA data from 207 metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients to explore prognostic value of ctDNA CNA burden and validated it in 465 stage II-III triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy in phase III PEARLY trial (NCT02441933). The clinical implication of locus level LP-WGS ctDNA profiling was further evaluated.

Homologous recombination repair deficiency (HRD) results in a defect in DNA repair and is a frequent driver of tumorigenesis. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) or platinum-based therapies have increased theraputic effectiveness when treating HRD positive cancers. For breast cancer and ovairan cancer HRD companion diagnostic tests are commonly used.
