Abstract:Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a rare subtype of sarcoma, whose genetic basis is poorly understood. We analyzed 69 MFS cases using whole-genome (WGS), whole-exome (WES), and/or targeted-sequencing (TS). Newly sequenced genomic data were combined with additional deposited 116 MFS samples. WGS identified a high number of structural variations (SVs) per tumor most frequently affecting the TP53 and RB1 loci, 40% of tumors showed a BRCAness-associated mutation signature, and evidence of chromothripsis was found in all cases. Most frequently mutated /copy number altered genes affected known disease drivers such as TP53 (56.2%), CDKN2A/B (29.7%), RB1 (27.0%), ATRX (19.5%), and HDLBP (18.9%). Several previously unappreciated genetic aberrations including MUC17, FLG, and ZNF780A were identified in more than 20% of patients. Longitudinal analysis of paired diagnosis and relapse time points revealed a 1.2-fold mutation number increase accompanied with substantial changes in clonal composition over time. This study highlights the genetic complexity underlying sarcomagenesis of MFS.
