BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation on circulating tumor DNA correlates with improved survival of patients with ovarian cancer
Methylation of the BRCA1 promoter is an epigenetic gene expression regulator and is frequently observed in ovarian cancer; however, conversion of methylation status is thought to drive disease recurrence. Therefore, longitudinal monitoring of methylation status by liquid biopsy in cell‐free DNA may...

Methylation of the BRCA1 promoter is an epigenetic gene expression regulator and is frequently observed in ovarian cancer; however, conversion of methylation status is thought to drive disease recurrence. Therefore, longitudinal monitoring of methylation status by liquid biopsy in cell‐free DNA may be a predictive marker. In total, 135 plasma samples were collected from 69 ovarian cancer patients before and during systemic treatment. Our liquid biopsy assay could detect down to a single molecule of methylated DNA in a high background of normal DNA (0.03%) with perfect specificity in control samples. We found that 60% of the cancer patients exhibited BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation at one point, although 24% lost hypermethylation during treatment. Multivariate survival analyses indicate that relapses are independent events and that hypermethylation and methylation conversion are independently correlated to longer relapse‐free survival. We present a highly sensitive and specific methylation‐specific quantitative PCR‐based liquid biopsy assay. BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation is frequently found in ovarian cancer and is often reversed upon recurrence, indicating the selection of therapy‐resistant clones and unfavorable clinical outcome. |
