Prenatal cfDNA Sequencing and Incidental Detection of Maternal Cancer.

N Engl J Med

December 2024

From the Prenatal Genomics and Therapy Section, Center for Precision Health Research (A.E.T., D.W.B.), and the Section on Social Network Methods, Social and Behavioral Research Branch (J.L.), National Human Genome Research Institute, the Women's Malignancies Branch (C.M.A., I.S.G., P.S.R.) and the Cancer Data Science Laboratory (P.S.R.), Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, Radiology and Imaging Sciences, Clinical Center (A.A.M., B.R.), and the Office of the Director, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (D.W.B.), National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, and Leidos Biomedical Research, Frederick (M.P.) - both in Maryland.

Background: Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequence analysis to screen for fetal aneuploidy can incidentally detect maternal cancer. Additional data are needed to identify DNA-sequencing patterns and other biomarkers that can identify pregnant persons who are most likely to have cancer and to determine the best approach for follow-up.

Methods: In this ongoing study we performed cancer screening in pregnant or postpartum persons who did not perceive signs or symptoms of cancer but received unusual clinical cfDNA-sequencing results or results that were nonreportable (i.

Uterine fibroids and non-informative cell-free DNA screening results.

Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol

October 2024

Monash Ultrasound for Women, Melbourne, Australia.

Objective: Uterine fibroids are monoclonal tumors, which are often genetically abnormal and associated with false-positive genome-wide cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening results, particularly when large. It is plausible that fibroids may also increase the risk of cfDNA failure by affecting fetal fraction or due to their genetic anomalies confounding cfDNA algorithms. We aimed to investigate a possible association between fibroids and cfDNA non-informative results.

Papillary renal neoplasm with reverse polarity has low frequency of alterations in chromosomes 7, 17, and Y.

Virchows Arch

August 2024

Department of Anatomic Pathology, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, 3-1-1 Maidashi, Higashi-Ku, Fukuoka, 812-8582, Japan.

In papillary renal neoplasm with reverse polarity (PRNRP), the status of chromosomal copy number alterations, especially chromosomes 7/17 gain and chromosome Y loss, has remained controversial. In the literatures, there is a discrepancy among the results of chromosomal alteration in PRNRP depending on the analytical methods. Here, we comprehensively analyzed the status of chromosomal abnormalities in PRNRP.

The spectrum of myeloid disorders ranges from aplastic bone marrow failure characterized by an empty bone marrow completely lacking in hematopoiesis to acute myeloid leukemia in which the marrow space is replaced by undifferentiated leukemic blasts. Recent advances in the capacity to sequence bulk tumor population as well as at a single-cell level has provided significant insight into the stepwise process of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia. Using models of progression in the context of germ line predisposition (trisomy 21, GATA2 deficiency, and SAMD9/9L syndrome), premalignant states (clonal hematopoiesis and clonal cytopenia of unknown significance), and myelodysplastic syndrome, we review the mechanisms of progression focusing on the hierarchy of clonal mutation and potential roles of transcription factor alterations, splicing factor mutations, and the bone marrow environment in progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma is a rare form of T-cell lymphoma that predominantly emerges from neoplastic proliferation of cytotoxic T cells of γ/δ T-cell receptor-expressing lymphocytes. Isochromosome 7q and trisomy 8 are the most prevalent chromosomal abnormalities associated with hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma, and most patients have mutations in genes related to chromatin remodeling or the JAK/STAT system. Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma can mimic various infectious diseases, immunological conditions, and other malignancies.
