Importance: Comprehensive understanding of the genomic and gene-expression differences between retinoblastoma tumors from patients with bilateral disease may help to characterize risk and optimize treatment according to individual tumor characteristics.
Objective: To compare the genomic features between each eye and a specimen from an orbital relapse in patients with bilateral retinoblastoma.
Design, Setting, and Participants: In this case, 2 patients with retinoblastoma underwent upfront bilateral enucleation. Tumor samples were subjected to genomic and gene-expression analysis. Primary cell cultures were established from both of the tumors of 1 patient and were used for gene-expression studies.
Main Outcomes and Measures: Whole-exome sequencing was performed on an Illumina platform for fresh tumor samples and DNA arrays (CytoScan or OncoScan) were used for paraffin-embedded samples and cell lines. Gene-expression analysis was performed using Agilent microarrays. Germinal and somatic alterations, copy number alterations, and differential gene expression were assessed.
Results: After initial bilateral enucleation, patient 1 showed massive choroidal and laminar optic nerve infiltration, while patient 2 showed choroidal and laminar optic nerve invasion. Patient 1 developed left-eye orbital recurrence and bone marrow metastasis less than 1 year after enucleation. Both ocular tumors showed gains on 1q and 6p but presented other distinct genomic alterations, including an additional gain in 2p harboring the N-myc proto-oncogene (MYCN) in the left tumor and orbital recurrence. Similar copy number alterations between the orbital recurrence and the left eye supported the origin of the relapse, with an additional 11q loss only detected in the orbital relapse. Specimens from patient 2 showed common copy number gains and losses, but further evolution rendered a 2p gain spanningMYCNin the left tumor. For this patient, microarray expression analysis showed differential expression of theMYCNand the forkhead box protein G1 (FOXG1) gene pathways between the left and right tumors.
Conclusions and Relevance: Differential genomic and gene expression features were observed between tumors in 2 patients with bilateral disease, confirming intereye heterogeneity that might be considered if targeted therapies are used in such patients. Chromosomal alteration profile supported the origin of the orbital recurrence from the homolateral eye in 1 patient. Loss in chromosome 11q may have been associated with extraocular relapse in this patient. |
