Assessment of somatic mutations in urine and plasma of Wilms tumor patients
Tumor DNA has been detected in body fluids of cancer patients. Somatic tumor mutations are being used as biomarkers in body fluids to monitor chemotherapy response as a minimally invasive tool.

Tumor DNA has been detected in body fluids of cancer patients. Somatic tumor mutations are being used as biomarkers in body fluids to monitor chemotherapy response as a minimally invasive tool. In this study, we evaluated the potential of tracking somatic mutations in free DNA of plasma and urine collected from Wilms tumor (WT) patients for monitoring treatment response. Wilms tumor is a pediatric renal tumor resulting from cell differentiation errors during nephrogenesis. Its mutational repertoire is not completely defined. Thus, for identifying somatic mutations from tumor tissue DNA, we screened matched tumor/leukocyte DNAs using either a panel containing 16 WT‐associated genes or whole‐exome sequencing (WES). The identified somatic tumor mutations were tracked in urine and plasma DNA collected before, during and after treatment. At least one somatic mutation was identified in five out of six WT tissue samples analyzed. Somatic mutations were detected in body fluids before treatment in all five patients (three patients in urine, three in plasma, and one in both body fluids). In all patients, a decrease of the variant allele fraction of somatic mutations was observed in body fluids during neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Interestingly, the persistence of somatic mutations in body fluids was in accordance with clinical parameters. For one patient who progressed to death, it persisted in high levels in serial body fluid samples during treatment.
