Scoring AlgorithmFor any marker: If the ratio was ≥0.66 and ≤1.35, then the marker indicated that heterozygosity was present (18q intact) If the ratio is outside this range, then the marker indicated LOH (LOH present)
Case calls: If LOH was present at any of the 5 markers, then the patient’s tumor was called LOH+ (LOH present) The case was called s non-informative for 18q if either the non-tumor sample was not heterozygous for the marker or if DNA amplification failure occurred
CALGB 9581 Tissue Bank
Tumor and normal tissue obtained from CALGB Pathology Coordinating Office
Pathology review, dissection to achieve optimal tumor and normal samples, then DNA extraction by standard methods
Tumors without either MSI-H or loss of expression of MLH1 or MSH2 genotyped to detect 18qLOH using theD18S55 marker
Multiplex PCR using fluorescent dye labeled primers; analysis using 310 Genetic Analyzer with
GeneScan/Genotyper software
Results
Chromosomal location 18q is a common site of loss of heterozygosity in colon cancer
18q contains several genes implicated in tumor progression including: SMAD4 – encodes a nuclear transcription factor mediating TGF- signaling SMAD22 – encodes a gene associated with endodermal differentiation DCC – a site encoding a netrin-1 receptor; loss of expression of DCC protein by immunohistochemistry was associated with poor prognosis in stage II and III colon cancers (Shibata, et al)
A retrospective analysis of tissues from randomized phase III cooperative group trials showed that 18qLOH was associated with significantly worse survival in high risk stage II and III colon cancer patients treated with 5- fluorouracil-based chemotherapy (Watanabe et al). No studies to date have prospectively validated the utility of 18qLOH as a prognostic marker for early stage colon cancer.

Study Cohort
Treatment Trial Result
Primary Objective:To evaluate a panel of prognostic markers
in order to determine the relationship between pre-treatment tumor marker status, overall clinical outcome, and response to MoAb 17-1A
Hypothesis: Patients whose tumors demonstrate 18qLOH will have
poorer study outcomes (DFS and OS) than those whose tumors do not demonstrate 18qLOH
Other markers tested: Microsatellite instability by genotyping and MLH1, MSH2 immunohistochemistry, Crohn’s-like peritumoral
inflammatory cell infiltrate
The original study design called for analysis of tumor DCC expression, which was ultimately not completed due to lack of DCC antibody availability

Preliminary results using D18S55 as a single marker support a role for 18qLOH as a prognostic marker in stage II colon cancer
The high rate of non-informative cases in this series likely results from use of a single 18q marker
Interrogation of 4 additional 18q markers, including D18S58, D18S61, D18S64, and D18S69, is underway.
