Abstract
Sporadic synchronous endometrial (ECs) and ovarian cancers (OCs), although clinically considered to be independent primaries, have been shown to be clonally related and likely constitute metastases from each other. We sought to define whether synchronous ECs/OCs in patients with DNA mismatch repair (MMR)-deficiency syndromes would be clonally-related. We subjected synchronous ECs/OCs from four patients (LS3-LS6) with clinically confirmed Lynch syndrome (LS) and one patient with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency syndrome (CMMRD) to massively parallel sequencing targeting 468 cancer-related genes. Somatic mutations, copy number alterations (CNAs), clonal relatedness and clonal decomposition analyses were performed using previously described bioinformatics methods. All synchronous ECs/OCs analyzed were considered independent primaries based on clinicopathologic criteria. Sequencing analysis revealed that the ECs/OCs of three cases (LS2-CMMRD, L3, L4) harbored similar repertoires of somatic mutations and CNAs and were clonally-related. In these three cases, a subset of subclonal mutations in the EC became clonal in the OC, suggesting that the EC was likely the substrate from which the OC developed. LS5’s EC/OC had distinct mutational profiles but shared specific CNAs. In contrast, LS6’s EC/OC harbored distinct somatic mutation and lacked CNAs, consistent with each tumor constituting an independent primary lesion. In LS5 and LS6, PTEN mutations and PTEN loss of protein expression were found to be restricted to the EC. Finally, re-analysis of sequencing data of sporadic synchronous ECs/OCs supported the observations made in the current study that the directionality of progression is likely from the endometrium to the ovary. In conclusion, contrary to sporadic synchronous ECs/OCs, which are almost invariably clonally-related, ECs/OCs simultaneously involving the uterus and ovary in LS patients may represent distinct primary tumors. A subset of MMR-deficiency syndrome-related synchronous ECs/OCs, however, may originate from a single primary tumor at variance with their clinical diagnosis, with the endometrium being the likeliest site of origin.
