A DNA Damage Response Gene Panel for Different Histologic Types of Epithelial Ovarian Carcinomas and Their Outcomes

DNA damage response (DDR) is important for maintaining genomic integrity of the cell. Aberrant DDR pathways lead to accumulation of DNA damage, genomic instability and malignant transformations. Gene mutations have been proven to be associated with epithelial ovarian cancer, and the majority of the...

description DNA damage response (DDR) is important for maintaining genomic integrity of the cell. Aberrant DDR pathways lead to accumulation of DNA damage, genomic instability and malignant transformations. Gene mutations have been proven to be associated with epithelial ovarian cancer, and the majority of the literature has focused on <i>BRCA</i>. In this study, we investigated the somatic mutation of DNA damage response genes in epithelial ovarian cancer patients using a multiple-gene panel with next-generation sequencing. In all, 69 serous, 39 endometrioid and 64 clear cell carcinoma patients were enrolled. Serous carcinoma patients (69.6%) had higher percentages of DDR gene mutations compared with patients with endometrioid (33.3%) and clear cell carcinoma (26.6%) (<i>p</i> < 0.001, chi-squared test). The percentages of DDR gene mutations in patients with recurrence (53.9 vs. 32.9% <i>p</i> = 0.006, chi-squared test) or cancer-related death (59.2 vs. 34.4% <i>p</i> = 0.001, chi-squared test) were higher than those without recurrence or living patients. In endometrioid carcinoma, patients with ≥2 DDR gene mutations had shorter PFS (<i>p</i> = 0.0035, log-rank test) and OS (<i>p</i> = 0.015, log-rank test) than those with one mutation or none. In clear cell carcinoma, patients with ≥2 DDR gene mutations had significantly shorter PFS (<i>p</i> = 0.0056, log-rank test) and OS (<i>p</i> = 0.0046, log-rank test) than those with 1 DDR mutation or none. In the EOC patients, somatic DDR gene mutations were associated with advanced-stage tumor recurrence and tumor-related death. Type I EOC patients with DDR mutations had an unfavorable prognosis, especially for clear cell carcinoma.
