ABSTRACTThe cancer genome sequencing has led to important discoveries such as identifying cancer gene. However, challenges remain in the analysis of cancer genome sequencing. One significant issue is that mutations identified by multiple variant callers are frequently discordant even when using the same genome sequencing data. For insertion and deletion mutations, oftentimes there is no agreement among different callers. Identifying somatic mutations involves read mapping and variant calling, a complicated process that uses many parameters and model tuning. To validate the identification of true mutations, we developed a method using k-mer sequences. First, we characterized the landscape of unique versus non-unique k-mers in the human genome. Second, we developed a software package, KmerVC, to validate the given somatic mutations from sequencing data. Our program validates the occurrence of a mutation based on statistically significant difference in frequency of k-mers with and without a mutation from matched normal and tumor sequences. Third, we tested our method on both simulated and cancer genome sequencing data. Counting k-mer involving mutations effectively validated true positive mutations including insertions and deletions across different individual samples in a reproducible manner. Thus, we demonstrated a straightforward approach for rapidly validating mutations from cancer genome sequencing data.

1588 Background: NGS as a high throughput technique is particular valuable for cancer given its ability to detect multiple driver mutations. While reads contain SNVs and short InDels can be mapped to the right position using gatk-like programs, a program designed for germline mutation detection, reads contain long InDels such as EGFR EX19 deletions often wrongly mapped especially when deletions near the ends of the reads. Thus, gatk would not recognize these reads, consequently underestimate the mutation allelic frequency, and even missed out InDels when supporting reads were rare. Methods: Here we present a variation hotspot validation toolkit (VHVT), a validation based method to precisely detect the ultra-low frequency somatic mutations. As far as we know, it is the first specialized somatic mutation detection software. First, reference sequences aimed at the hotspot mutations were assembled, then reads were be mapped to the new assembled reference to precisely distinguish the supporting reads. Moreover, log odds (LOD) and Poisson mathematical model were integrated to control sequencing error, as a result, VHVT can achieve a limitation of detection at 0.01% with sensitivity and specificity above 95% and 99% respectively. In addition, we developed a method to quantitatively assess the performance of variation detection program using standard reference data. By mapping to the reconstructed reference, all supporting reads will be detected in sequencing data, and comparing theses with the number of supporting reads delivered by a program we can define recognition ratio of supporting reads. Results: Our reference standard data showed that VHVT can recognize average 30% more support reads than gatk for EGFR EX19 deletions. In a total 498 NSCLC clinical samples test, VHVT detected actionable mutations in 289 samples. 243 positive mutations were verified (168 by SANGER sequencing, 75 by ddPCR) with concordance rate at 100%. Conclusions: Taken all together, our results demonstrated the robust performance of VHVT for somatic mutation detection and program assessment and thus facilitate the development of personalized cancer therapy.
