Title:
Dissecting the Impact of Mutational Processes on Therapeutic Response in Ovarian Cancer
Report Date:
2022-10-01
Abstract:
High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most lethal gynecological malignancy and while treatment with PARP inhibitors has shown some promise for patients with BRCA1/2 mutations these mutations remain an imperfect predictor for response. Our team has established structural variant-associated mutational processes for patient risk stratification: homologous recombination deficient (HRD) tumors, either associated with BRCA1 mutation-linked duplications (HRD-Dup) or BRCA2 mutation-linked interstitial deletions (HRD-Del), have a better prognosis than homologous recombination proficient tumors, including CDK-12 associated tandem duplications (TD) and foldback inversion (FBI) bearing tumors. Our hypothesis is that these distinct mutational processes confer differential evolutionary capacity on the malignant cells and impact treatment response.
