    1. Integrated Genomic Characterization Reveals Novel, Therapeutically Relevant Drug Targets in FGFR and EGFR Pathways in Sporadic Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

      [Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC3923676

      Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predictive

      Justification: Oncogenic: The E384X mutation in ERRFI1 is described as a loss of function mutation that leads to nearly complete loss of function, suggesting its role in tumorigenesis by negatively regulating EGFR activation. Predictive: The presence of the E384X mutation in ERRFI1 was associated with rapid and robust disease regression when treated with erlotinib, indicating its potential as a predictive biomarker for response to EGFR inhibitors.

      Gene→Variant (gene-first): BRCA1(672):E384X

      Genes: BRCA1(672)

      Variants: E384X

    2. Since our study goal was to identify potential therapeutically relevant events, the novel loss of function mutation in ERRFI1 (E384X) detected in Patient 3's metastatic, recurrent/refractory SIC (Table S1) warranted addi

      [Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC3923676 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 16

      Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional

      Justification: Oncogenic: The passage discusses a novel loss of function mutation (E384X) in ERRFI1 that is associated with a patient's metastatic tumor, indicating that this somatic variant contributes to tumor development or progression. Functional: The passage mentions nearly complete loss of function of ERRFI1 due to the E384X mutation, suggesting that this variant alters the molecular or biochemical function of the protein.

      Variants: E384X

    3. In addition to the variations identified in genes acting in EGFR and/or FGFR signaling pathways, we also report multiple sSNVs and copy number variations (CNVs) ( Figure 4 ) in genes such as HDAC1, TP53, MDM2 and AKT1, a

    4. We identified 327 somatic coding mutations, with an average of 55 mutations/tumor (range 34-112), within our cohort ( Table 1 , Figure 1 ). Nonsynonymous single nucleotide variations were the predominant class in all of

      [Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC3923676 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 3

      Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predictive

      Justification: Oncogenic: The variant E384X in ERRFI1 is described as being overexpressed in a tumor, indicating its potential role in tumor development or progression. Predictive: The passage discusses the therapeutic relevance of FGFR2 fusions and their treatment with FGFR inhibitors, suggesting a correlation with response to therapy.

    5. Advanced cholangiocarcinoma continues to harbor a difficult prognosis and therapeutic options have been limited. During the course of a clinical trial of whole genomic sequencing seeking druggable targets, we examined si

      [Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC3923676 Section: ABSTRACT PassageIndex: 1

      Evidence Type(s): Predictive, Oncogenic

      Justification: Predictive: The passage discusses the use of erlotinib, an EGFR kinase inhibitor, in a patient with the ERRFI1 E384X mutation, noting rapid and robust disease regression, indicating a correlation between the variant and response to therapy. Oncogenic: The E384X variant in ERRFI1 is described as a somatic mutation that inactivates a negative regulator of EGFR activation, suggesting its contribution to tumor development or progression.
