Abnormalities in the p16-cyclin D1-CDK4 signalling pathway play a crucial role in the development and progression of AM. However, the CDK4 copy number variations (CNVs) in AM are under-reported. In this study, we investigated CDK4 gene copy number and concurrent molecular changes in a Chinese cohort with AM, to explore CDK4 CNVs and their significance in AM. We examined CDK4 CNVs with fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) in 31 patients with AM. Six patients with CDK4 high-level copy number increase were examined by next-generation sequencing to detect concurrent molecular changes. Using FISH, 12 (12/31, 38.7%) cases showed CDK4 copy number increase, with six (6/31, 19.4%) low-level copy number increase and six (6/31, 19.4%) high-level copy number increase. Five of six CDK4 low-level copy number increase cases were accompanied by polysomy of chromosome 12, while one case was not. Two of six CDK4 high-level copy number increase cases were accompanied by polysomy of chromosome 12, while four cases were not. CDK4 copy number increase was significantly correlated with younger patient age. In six CDK4 high-level copy number increase cases, one case was found to be accompanied by NRAS mutation, one case was accompanied by HER2 mutation, one case was accompanied by BCL2L11 mutation and one case was accompanied by BRAF, HER2 and BCL2L11 mutations. Our study confirmed the presence of CDK4 copy number increase in AM cases. Detecting CDK4 copy number increase by FISH can be reliable in the diagnosis of AM. Some CDK4 copy number increases are the results of polysomy of chromosome 12. CDK4 high-level copy number increase coexists with other pathogenic mutations in AM. CDK4 appears to be a promising target for AM treatment and is expected to be combined with other targeted therapies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19915,"journal":{"name":"Pathology","volume":"57 1","pages":"Pages 34-39"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142546735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
