Integrated fragmentomic profile and 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine of capture-based low-pass sequencing data enables pan-cancer detection via cfDNA

Background: Using epigenetic markers and fragmentomics of cell-free DNA for cancer detection has been proven applicable. Methods: We further investigated the diagnostic potential of combining two features (epigenetic markers and fragmentomic information) of cell-free DNA for detecting various types...

description Background: Using epigenetic markers and fragmentomics of cell-free DNA for cancer detection has been proven applicable. Methods: We further investigated the diagnostic potential of combining two features (epigenetic markers and fragmentomic information) of cell-free DNA for detecting various types of cancers. To do this, we extracted cfDNA fragmentomic features from 191 whole-genome sequencing data and studied them in 396 low-pass 5hmC sequencing data, which included four common cancer types and control samples. Results: In our analysis of 5hmC sequencing data from cancer samples, we observed aberrant ultra-long fragments (220–500 bp) that differed from normal samples in terms of both size and coverage profile. These fragments played a significant role in predicting cancer. Leveraging the ability to detect cfDNA hydroxymethylation and fragmentomic markers simultaneously in low-pass 5hmC sequencing data, we developed an integrated model that incorporated 63 features representing both fragmentomic features and hydroxymethylation signatures. This model achieved high sensitivity and specificity for pan-cancer detection (88.52% and 82.35%, respectively). Conclusion: We showed that fragmentomic information in 5hmC sequencing data is an ideal marker for cancer detection and that it shows high performance in low-pass sequencing data.
