    Abstract Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a clonal B-cell malignancy and remains a chronic disease despite improvements in clinical outcomes since the use of targeted therapies. Both clinical and biological parameters are important for determining prognosis. Unlike other mature B-cell lymphomas, translocations involving the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) locus are uncommon in CLL. There have been few case reports of CLL harbouring t(14;18)/IGH::BCL2 and t(14;19)/IGH::BCL3. Here we describe the first two cases of patients with CLL with documented t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGH::MALT1. Both cases in this report were associated with lower-risk biological parameters. Thus, FISH testing for MALT1 in cases with unknown IGH translocation partners in the setting of CLL should be implemented in clinical practice to better define such cases.

    Abstract Context.—: The increasing use of large panel next-generation sequencing technologies in clinical settings has facilitated the identification of pan-cancer biomarkers, which can be diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, or most importantly, actionable.
    Objective.—: To discuss recently approved and emerging pan-cancer and multihistology biomarkers as well as testing methodologies.
    Data sources.—: The US Food and Drug Administration approval documents, National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines, literature, and authors' own publications.
    Conclusions.—: Since 2017, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved genotype-directed therapies for pan-cancer biomarkers, including microsatellite instability, neurotrophic receptor kinases fusions, and high-tumor mutation burden. Both the importance and rarity of these biomarkers have increased the prevalence of genomic profiling across solid malignancies. As an integral part of the management team of patients with advanced cancer, pathologists need to be aware of these emerging biomarkers, the therapies for which they determine eligibility, and the strengths and pitfalls of the available clinical assays.

    Abstract Biallelic inactivation of NF2 represents the primary or sole oncogenic driver event in the vast majority of schwannomas. We report on a four-year-old female who underwent subtotal resection of a right medullary intraparenchymal schwannoma. RNA sequencing revealed an in-frame fusion between exon 5 of YAP1 and exon 2 of MAML2. YAP1-MAML2 fusions have previously been reported in a variety of tumor types, but not schwannomas. Our report expands the spectrum of oncogenic YAP1 gene fusions an alternative to NF2 inactivation to include sporadic schwannoma, analogous to what has recently been described in NF2-wildtype pediatric meningiomas. Appropriate somatic and germline molecular testing should be undertaken in all young patients with solitary schwannoma and meningioma given the high prevalence of an underlying tumor predisposition syndrome. In such patients, the identification of a somatic non-NF2 driver alteration such as this newly described YAP1 fusion, can help ascertain the diagnosis of a sporadic schwannoma.

    Abstract Context.—: Gene editing-based therapies are currently in development in the areas of oncology, inherited disease, and infectious disease. These potentially life-altering therapies are derived from decades of research in both academic and industry settings that developed technologies rooted in principles and products of nature. However, with such technologic developments come many important considerations, including adverse risks, high cost, and ethical questions.
    Objective.—: To educate pathologists about gene editing technologies, inform them of potential indications and risks, outline regulatory and practical issues that could affect hospital-based practice and laboratory testing, and advocate that pathologists need to be present at discussions among industry and regulators pertaining to gene editing-based therapies.
    Design.—: A Gene Editing Workgroup, facilitated by the College of American Pathologists Personalized Health Care Committee and consisting of pathologists of various backgrounds, was convened to develop an educational paper to serve as a stimulus to increase pathologist involvement and inquiry in gene editing therapeutic and diagnostic implementation.
    Results.—: Through multiple discussions and literature review, the workgroup identified potential gaps in pathologists' knowledge of gene editing. Additional topics that could impact pathology and laboratory medicine were also identified and summarized in order to facilitate pathologists as stakeholders in gene editing therapy administration and monitoring and potential use in diagnostics.
    Conclusions.—: Gene editing therapy is a complex but potentially transformative area of medicine. This article serves as an introduction to pathologists to assist them in future discussions with colleagues and potentially identify and alter pathology practices that relate to gene editing.

    Abstract Context.—: Neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) fusion testing has both diagnostic and therapeutic implications for patient care. With 2 tumor-agnostic US Food and Drug Administration-approved tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors, testing is increasingly used for therapeutic decision making. However, the testing landscape for NTRK fusions is complex, and optimal testing depends on the clinicopathologic scenario.
    Objective.—: To compare different NTRK testing methods to help pathologists understand test features and performance characteristics and make appropriate selections for NTRK fusion detection for their laboratory and individual patient specimens.
    Data sources.—: A literature search for NTRK gene fusions and TRK protein was performed, including papers that discussed treatment, testing methodology, and detection or prevalence of fusion-positive cases.
    Conclusions.—: As standard of care in some tumor types, next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel testing is a cost effective and reliable way to detect a broad range of NTRK fusions. The design of the panel and use of DNA or RNA will affect performance characteristics. Pan-TRK immunohistochemistry may be used as a rapid, less expensive screen in cases that will not undergo routine NGS testing, or on specimens unsuitable for NGS testing. Fluorescence in situ hybridization may be appropriate for low-tumor-content specimens that are unsuitable for NGS testing. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction is best suited for monitoring low-level disease of a specific, previously identified target. This information should help laboratories develop a laboratory-specific NTRK testing algorithm that best suits their practice setting and patients' needs.

    Abstract Chromosome translocations involving the RUNX1 gene at 21q22 are recurring abnormalities in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), that is, t(8;21) and t(3;21) and in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with t(12;21). These translocations result in the fusion of RUNX1 with RUNX1T1, MECOM, and ETV6, respectively, and are implicated in leukemogenesis. Here we describe 10 rare RUNX1 fusion gene partners, including six novel fusions, in myeloid neoplasia. Comprehensive molecular testing revealed the partner genes and features of these fusions in all the tested patients, and detected various recurring myeloid related gene mutations in eight patients. In two patients, RUNX1 mutations were identified. Most of these fusions were detected in patients with high-grade MDS and AML with a relatively short survival. Integration of conventional chromosome analysis, FISH testing and molecular genetic studies allow a comprehensive characterization of these rare RUNX1 fusions. Our study may help define myeloid neoplasms with rare and novel RUNX1 translocations and support appropriate patient management.

    Abstract Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome is a cytogenetic hallmark of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Most patients with CML harbor either the e13a2 or e14a2 BCR-ABL fusion product, while a small subset of the cases expresses e1a2 or e19a2 transcripts. We report a patient with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), initially Ph chromosome negative at presentation, with rapid disease progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and appearance of Ph chromosome and BCR-ABL e6a2, a very uncommon fusion transcript. The AML was refractory to treatment with subsequent emergence and dominance of a Ph negative leukemic clone. The patient expired shortly after disease progression.

    Abstract Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based measurable residual disease (MRD) monitoring in post-treatment settings can be crucial for relapse risk stratification in patients with B-cell and plasma cell neoplasms. Prior studies have focused on validation of various technical aspects of the MRD assays, but more studies are warranted to establish the performance characteristics and enable standardization and broad utilization in routine clinical practice. Here, the authors describe an NGS-based IGH MRD quantification assay, incorporating a spike-in calibrator for monitoring B-cell and plasma cell neoplasms based on their unique IGH rearrangement status. Comparison of MRD status (positive or undetectable) by NGS and flow cytometry (FC) assays showed high concordance (91%, 471/519 cases) and overall good linear correlation in MRD quantitation, particularly for chronic lymphocytic leukemia and B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (R = 0.85). Quantitative correlation was lower for plasma cell neoplasms, where underestimation by FC is a known limitation. No significant effects on sequencing efficiency by the spike-in calibrator were observed, with excellent inter- and intra-assay reproducibility within the authors' laboratory, and in comparison to an external laboratory, using the same assay and protocols. Assays performed both at internal and external laboratories showed highly concordant MRD detection (100%) and quantitation (R = 0.97). Overall, this NGS-based MRD assay showed highly reproducible results with quantitation that correlated well with FC MRD assessment, particularly for B-cell neoplasms.
