Abstract Text | Cancer drugs often induce dramatic responses in a small minority of patients. We used whole-genome sequencing to investigate the genetic basis of a durable remission of metastatic bladder cancer in a patient treated with everolimus, a drug that inhibits the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling pathway. Among the somatic mutations was a loss-of-function mutation in TSC1 (tuberous sclerosis complex 1), a regulator of mTOR pathway activation. Targeted sequencing revealed TSC1 mutations in about 8% of 109 additional bladder cancers examined, and TSC1 mutation correlated with everolimus sensitivity. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using whole-genome sequencing in the clinical setting to identify previously occult biomarkers of drug sensitivity that can aid in the identification of patients most likely to respond to targeted anticancer drugs. |

TSC1 | V220F | missense | unknown | TSC1 V220F does not lie within any known functional domains of the Tsc1 protein (UniProt.org). V220F has been identified in the scientific literature (PMID: 22923433), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Tsc1 protein function is unknown (PubMed, Nov 2024). |
