Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate chromosomal aberrations in sporadic Japanese papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs), concomitant with the analysis of oncogene mutational status. Twenty-five PTCs (11 with BRAF(V600E), 4 with RET/PTC1, and 10 without mutation in HRAS, KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, RET/PTC1, or RET/PTC3) were analyzed using Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 which allows us to detect copy number alteration (CNA) and uniparental disomy (UPD), also referred to as copy neutral loss of heterozygosity, in a single experiment. The Japanese PTCs showed relatively stable karyotypes. Seven cases (28%) showed CNA(s), and 6 (24%) showed UPD(s). Interestingly, CNA and UPD were rarely overlapped in the same tumor; the only one advanced case showed both CNA and UPD with a highly complex karyotype. Thirteen (52%) showed neither CNA nor UPD. Regarding CNA, deletions tended to be more frequent than amplifications. The most frequent and recurrent region was the deletion in chromosome 22; however, it was found in only 4 cases (16%). The degree of genomic instability did not depend on the oncogene status. However, in oncogene-positive cases (BRAF(V600E) and RET/PTC1), tumors with CNA/UPD were less frequent (5/15, 33%), whereas tumors with CNA/UPD were more frequent in oncogene-negative cases (7/10, 70%), suggesting that chromosomal aberrations may play a role in the development of PTC, especially in oncogene-negative tumors. These data suggest that Japanese PTCs may be classified into three distinct groups: CNA(+), UPD(+), and no chromosomal aberrations. BRAF(V600E) mutational status did not correlate with any parameters of chromosomal defects.Entities:

Figure 1Genome-wide view of detected CNA and UPD.
Twenty-five PTCs (11 with BRAF, 4 with RET/PTC1, and 10 without mutation in HRAS, KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, RET/PTC1, or RET/PTC3) were analyzed using Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0. Green lines: amplifications, red lines: deletions, blue lines: large (≥24.6 Mb) interstitial UPD regions, gray lines: small interstitial UPD regions (at least 10 Mb but no more than 24.6 Mb), orange lines: telomeric regions of UPD. a, Chromosomal view. Each line represents an individual aberration. The extent of the aberration is represented along the length of the chromosome. b, Case (oncogene status)-chromosome plot, which provides at-a-glance view of all aberrations in a single case. The extent of the aberrations is ignored.
Figure 2The degree of genomic instability among three oncogene groups (wild-type, BRAF, and RET/PTC1).
Each dot represents the percentage of altered genome of each case. The length of each genomic alteration (CNA/UPD) was summed, and the total length was divided by 2,858,034,764 bases to calculate the percentage of altered genome. Horizontal line shows mean. T17 case had a highly complex karyotype and was the only case with distant metastasis/recurrence. There was no statistical difference among these groups.
