Multiplex Detection of Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma Signature Fusion Transcripts and Duplications Using the NanoString nCounter System

Overview
Abstract
Previous studies identified recurrent fusion and duplication events in pediatric low-grade glioma (pLGG). In addition to their role in diagnosis, the presence of these events aid in dictating therapy and predicting patient survival. Clinically, BRAF alterations are most commonly identified using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). However, this method is costly, labor-intensive and does not identify nonBRAF events. Here, we evaluated the NanoString nCounter gene expression system for detecting 32 of the most commonly reported fusion/duplication events in pLGG. The assay was validated on 90 pLGG samples using FISH as the gold standard and showed sensitivity and specificity of 97% and 98%, respectively. We next profiled formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded preserved biopsy specimens from 429 pLGG cases. 171 (40%) of the cases within our cohort tested positive for a fusion or duplication event contained within our panel. These events, in order of prevalence, were KIAA1549-BRAF 16;9 (89/171, 52.0%), KIAA1549-BRAF 15;9 (42/171, 24.6%), KIAA1549-BRAF 16;11 (14/171, 8.2%), FGFR1-TACC1 17;7 (13/171, 7.6%), MYBL1 duplication (5/171, 2.9%), KIAA1549-BRAF 18;10 (4/171, 2.3%), KIAA1549-BRAF 15;11 (2/171, 1.2%), FAM131B-BRAF 2;9 (1/171, 0.6%), and RNF130-BRAF 3;9 (1/171, 0.6%). This work introduces NanoString as a viable clinical replacement for the detection of fusion and duplication events in pLGG.
