The combination of 3' RACE technology with targeted RNA sequencing panel is an efficient tool for molecular diagnostics of biliary tract carcinomas.
The technique 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3 ' RACE) allows for detection of translocations with unknown gene partners located at the 3 ' end of the chimeric transcript. We composed a 3 ' RACE-based RNA sequencing panel for the analysis of FGFR1-4 gene rearrangements, detection of activating mutations located within FGFR1-4, IDH1/2, ERBB2 (HER2), KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA genes, and measurement of the expression of ERBB2, PD-L1, and FGFR1-4 transcripts. This NGS panel was utilized for the molecular profiling of 168 biliary tract carcinomas (BTCs), including 83 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (iCCAs), 44 extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (eCCAs), and 41 gallbladder adenocarcinomas (GBAs). The NGS failure rate was 3/168 (1.8%). iCCAs, but not other categories of BTCs, were characterized by frequent FGFR2 alterations (17/82, 20.7%) and IDH1/2 mutations (23/82, 28%). Other potentially druggable events included ERBB2 amplifications or mutations (7/165, 4.2% of all successfully analyzed BTCs) and BRAF p.V600E mutations (3/165, 1.8%). In addition to NGS, we analyzed microsatellite instability (MSI) using the standard five markers and revealed this event in 3/158 (1.9%) BTCs. There were no instances of ALK, ROS1, RET, and NTRK1-3 gene rearrangements or MET exon 14 skipping mutations. Parallel analysis of 47 iCCA samples with the Illumina TruSight Tumor 170 kit confirmed good performance of our NGS panel. In conclusion, targeted RNA sequencing coupled with the 3 ' RACE technology is an efficient tool for the molecular diagnostics of BTCs.
