Canine Somatic Mutations from Whole-Exome Sequencing of B-Cell Lymphomas in Six Canine Breeds—A Preliminary Study

Canine lymphoma (CL) is one of the most common malignant tumors in dogs. The cause of CL remains unclear. Genetic mutations that have been suggested as possible causes of CL are not fully understood. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) is a time- and cost-effective method for detecting genetic variants tar...

description Canine lymphoma (CL) is one of the most common malignant tumors in dogs. The cause of CL remains unclear. Genetic mutations that have been suggested as possible causes of CL are not fully understood. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) is a time- and cost-effective method for detecting genetic variants targeting only the protein-coding regions (exons) that are part of the entire genome region. A total of eight patients with B-cell lymphomas were recruited, and WES analysis was performed on whole blood and lymph node aspirate samples from each patient. A total of 17 somatic variants (<i>GOLIM4</i>, <i>ITM2B</i>, <i>STN1</i>, <i>UNC79</i>, <i>PLEKHG4</i>, <i>BRF1</i>, <i>ENSCAFG00845007156</i>, <i>SEMA6B</i>, <i>DSC1</i>, <i>TNFAIP1</i>, <i>MYLK3</i>, <i>WAPL</i>, <i>ADORA2B</i>, <i>LOXHD1</i>, <i>GP6</i>, <i>AZIN1</i>, and <i>NCSTN</i>) with moderate to high impact were identified by WES analysis. Through a Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of 17 genes with somatic mutations, a total of 16 pathways were identified. Overall, the somatic mutations identified in this study suggest novel candidate mutations for CL, and further studies are needed to confirm the role of these mutations.
