Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) has been mostly associated with sun exposure, but ionizing radiation is also a known risk factor. It is not clear if the pathogenesis of BCC, namely at a genomic and epigenetic level, differs according to the underlying triggering factors. The present study aims to compare genetic and epigenetic changes in BCCs related to ionizing radiation and chronic sun exposure. Tumor samples from BCCs of the scalp in patients submitted to radiotherapy to treat tinea capitis in childhood and BCCs from sun-exposed areas were analysed through array comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) and methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA) to detect copy number alterations and methylation status of specific genes. Genomic characterization of tumor samples revealed several copy number gains and losses in all chromosomes, with the most frequent gains observed at 2p, 6p, 12p, 14q, 15q, 18q, Xp and Yp, and the most frequent losses observed at 3q, 14q, 16p, 17q, 22q, Xp, Yp and Yq. We developed a statistical model, encompassing gains in 3p and 16p and losses in 14q and 20p, with potential to discriminate BCC samples with sporadic aetiology from BCC samples that evolve after radiothera...Continue Reading
