Abstract

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common form of adult kidney cancer, characterized by the presence of inactivating mutations in the VHL gene in most cases, and by infrequent somatic mutations in known cancer genes. To determine further the genetics of ccRCC, we have sequenced 101 cases through 3,544 protein-coding genes. Here we report the identification of inactivating mutations in two genes encoding enzymes involved in histone modification-SETD2, a histone H3 lysine 36 methyltransferase, and JARID1C (also known as KDM5C), a histone H3 lysine 4 demethylase-as well as mutations in the histone H3 lysine 27 demethylase, UTX (KMD6A), that we recently reported. The results highlight the role of mutations in components of the chromatin modification machinery in human cancer. Furthermore, NF2 mutations were found in non-VHL mutated ccRCC, and several other probable cancer genes were identified. These results indicate that substantial genetic heterogeneity exists in a cancer type dominated by mutations in a single gene, and that systematic screens will be key to fully determining the somatic genetic architecture of cancer.

  • Inactivating mutations and/or reduced expression of JmjC histone demethylases including JARID1C, UTX and JHDM1B/FBXL10 occur in renal cell carcinomas, multiple myeloma, glioblastoma multiforme and several other cancers.

    “Interestingly, inactivating mutations and/or reduced expression of JmjC histone demethylases including JARID1C (Dalgliesh et al, 2010), UTX (van Haaften et al, 2009) and JHDM1B/FBXL10 (Frescas et al, 2007), occur in RCCs, multiple myeloma, glioblastoma multiforme and several other cancers.”

  • Several 2-oxoglutarate-dependent chromatin enzymes, including UTX, JARID1C, and TET2, are targets of inactivating mutations in cancer, making them candidates for pathogenic inhibition by succinate, fumarate, and R-2HG.

    “A number of 2-oxoglutarate-dependent enzymes that act on chromatin are themselves targets of inactivating mutations in cancer, including the UTX H3K27 demethylase (also called KDM6A), JARID1C H3K4 demethylase (KDM5C), and TET2, making them attractive candidates for pathogenically relevant inhibition by succinate, fumarate, and R-2HG (Abdel-Wahab et al., 2009; Dalgliesh et al., 2010; Tefferi et al”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
