Abstract

Constitutional polymorphisms in ARID5B are associated with an increased risk of developing high hyperdiploid (HeH; 51–67 chromosomes) pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP ALL). Here, we investigated constitutional and somatic ARID5B variants in 1335 BCP ALL cases from five different cohorts, with a particular focus on HeH cases. In 353 HeH ALL that were heterozygous for risk alleles and trisomic for chromosome 10, where ARID5B is located, a significantly higher proportion of risk allele duplication was seen for the SNPs rs7090445 (p = 0.009), rs7089424 (p = 0.005), rs7073837 (p = 0.03), and rs10740055 (p = 0.04). Somatic ARID5B deletions were seen in 16/1335 cases (1.2%), being more common in HeH than in other... (More)

Constitutional polymorphisms in ARID5B are associated with an increased risk of developing high hyperdiploid (HeH; 51–67 chromosomes) pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP ALL). Here, we investigated constitutional and somatic ARID5B variants in 1335 BCP ALL cases from five different cohorts, with a particular focus on HeH cases. In 353 HeH ALL that were heterozygous for risk alleles and trisomic for chromosome 10, where ARID5B is located, a significantly higher proportion of risk allele duplication was seen for the SNPs rs7090445 (p = 0.009), rs7089424 (p = 0.005), rs7073837 (p = 0.03), and rs10740055 (p = 0.04). Somatic ARID5B deletions were seen in 16/1335 cases (1.2%), being more common in HeH than in other genetic subtypes (2.2% vs. 0.4%; p = 0.002). The expression of ARID5B in HeH cases with genomic deletions was reduced, consistent with a functional role in leukemogenesis. Whole-genome sequencing and RNA-sequencing in HeH revealed additional somatic events involving ARID5B, resulting in a total frequency of 3.6% of HeH cases displaying a somatic ARID5B aberration. Overall, our results show that both constitutional and somatic events in ARID5B are involved in the leukemogenesis of pediatric BCP ALL, particularly in the HeH subtype.
