e22139 Background: Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors marked by clonal proliferation of myeloid cells with variable marrow changes and clinical findings. Though progress has been made since the discovery of the JAK2V617F mutation, few data exist on the genetic distinction amongst these disorders, or pathogenesis of fibrosis seen in MPNs. Methods: Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) was performed on genomic DNA extracted from marrow aspirate using an Agilent 180K oligonucleotide array platform in order to discover recurrent genetic aberrations, cooperating mutations, and gain insight into the hierarchy of molecular pathogenesis of fibrosis. BM aspirate from 17 pts were analyzed. Copy number alterations (CNAs) were compared to a reference set and mapped to functional genes. Genes with CNA were subjected to gene ontology, pathway and clustering analysis. Results: aCGH yielded copy number gains or losses in 17 out of 17 cases, 11 of which had normal karyotype and/or FISH. Numerous CNAs were identified within genes found in a variety of cellular pathways. In particular, alterations in COL1A1, NFKb and PDGFRb were implicated in this MPN cohort in 12, 8, and 6, pts, respectively. Interestingly, only patients with COL1A1 CNA had aberrancy within NFKb and PDGFRb. The remaining 5 pts had abnormal aCGH, but normal signals at these 3 genes. Conclusions: aCGH is a valuable tool which may be used to distinguish MPNs, particularly when standard testing does not. The presence of the COL1A1 aberration in 12/17 cases edifies evolving study of the role of TGFB superfamily in development of fibrosis and provides potential targets to exploit in the treatment of MPNs. Though aberrations within COL1A1 have not been previously reported in MPNs, a gene fusion involving COL1A1 and PDGFRb is found in 90% of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. The cooperation between these genes is currently under study in a larger cohort of pts with MPNs. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background: Submicroscopic genomic imbalance underlies well-defined microdeletion and microduplication syndromes and contributes to general developmental disorders such as mental retardation and autism. Array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) complements routine cytogenetic methods such as karyotyping and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for the detection of genomic imbalance. Oligonucleotide arrays in particular offer advantages in ease of manufacturing, but standard arrays for single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping or linkage analysis offer variable coverage in clinically relevant regions. We report the design and validation of a focused oligonucleotide-array CGH assay for clinical laboratory diagnosis of genomic imbalance. Methods: We selected >10 000 60-mer oligonucleotide features from Agilent’s eArray probe library to interrogate all subtelomeric and pericentromeric regions and 95 additional clinically relevant regions for a total of 179 loci. Sensitivity and specificity were measured for 105 patient samples, including 51 with known genomic-imbalance events, as detected by bacterial artificial chromosome–based array CGH, FISH, or multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification. Results: Focused array CGH detected all known regions of genomic imbalance in 51 validation samples with 100% concordance and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. The mean SD among log2 ratios of all noncontrol features without copy number alteration was 0.062 (median, 0.055). Clinical testing of another 211 samples from individuals with developmental delay, unexplained mental retardation, dysmorphic features, or multiple congenital anomalies revealed genomic imbalance in 25 samples (11.9%). Conclusions: This focused oligonucleotide-array CGH assay, a flexible, robust method for clinically diagnosing genetic disorders associated with genomic imbalance, offers appreciable advantages over currently available platforms.
