摘要: Abstract Background Tissue genomic heterogeneity (t-HET) in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (OVCA) is related to tissue plasticity, i.e., flexibility adapt adverse molecular environments. Here, we interrogated the presence and clinical relevance of OVCA t-HET. Methods We applied high-depth (>2000×) sequencing on 297 paraffin samples (fallopian tubes, ovaries, intra-abdominal metastases) from 71 treatment-naive who subsequently received first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Based mutation patterns, distinguished genotypes into: no (33/297 samples; 11.1%), stable (173; 58.2%) unstable (91; 30.7%). profiled per patient assessed t-HET 69 patients. Predicted pathogenic mutations refer germline and/or tissues. Results Among all patients, 46 (64.8%) had BRCA1 15 (21.7%) BRCA1/2 disruption (i.e., position-LOH). classified 29 (42%), BRCA1; was observed 64% such (p Conclusions Pathogenic appear necessary but may not be sufficient for establishment associated worse outcome, including disrupted BRCA1/2, which usually considered as a favourable marker. need addressed treatment decisions.
