| Popis | B-cell neoplasms represent a clinically heterogeneous group of hematologic malignancies with considerably diverse genomic architecture recently endorsed by next-generation sequencing (NGS) studies. Because multiple genetic defects have a potential or confirmed clinical impact, a tendency toward more comprehensive testing of diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive markers is desired. This study introduces the design, validation, and implementation of an integrative, custom-designed, capture-based NGS panel titled LYmphoid NeXt-generation sequencing (LYNX) for the analysis of standard and novel molecular markers in the most common lymphoid neoplasms (chronic lymphocytic leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma). A single LYNX test provides the following: i) accurate detection of mutations in all coding exons and splice sites of 70 lymphoma-related genes with a sensitivity of 5% variant allele frequency, ii) reliable identification of large genome-wide (>6 Mb) and recurrent chromosomal aber-rations (>300 kb) in at least 20% of the clonal cell fraction, iii) the assessment of immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor gene rearrangements, and iv) lymphoma-specific translocation detection. Dedicated bioinformatic pipelines were designed to detect all markers mentioned above. The LYNX panel repre-sents a comprehensive, up-to-date tool suitable for routine testing of lymphoid neoplasms with research and clinical applicability. It allows a wide adoption of capture-based targeted NGS in clinical practice and personalized management of patients with lymphoproliferative diseases. |
