Pancreatic cyst fluids (PCFs) enriched in tumor-derived DNA are a potential source of new biomarkers. The study aimed to analyze germinal variants and mutational profiles of cell-free (cf)DNA shed into the cavity of pancreatic cysts.The study cohort consisted of 71 patients who underwent endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration of PCF. Five malignant cysts, 19 intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), 11 mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs), eight serous cystic neoplasms (SCNs), and 28 pseudocysts were identified. The sequencing of 409 genes included in Comprehensive Cancer Panel was performed using Ion Proton System. The mutation rate of the KRAS and GNAS canonical loci was additionally determined using digital PCR.The number of mutations detected with NGS varied from 0 to 22 per gene, and genes with the most mutations were: TP53, KRAS, PIK3CA, GNAS, ADGRA2, and APC. The frequencies of the majority of mutations did not differ between non-malignant cystic neoplasms and pseudocysts. NGS detected KRAS mutations in malignant cysts (60%), IPMNs (32%), MCNs (64%), SCNs (13%), and pseudocysts (14%), with GNAS mutations in 20%, 26%, 27%, 13%, and 21% of samples, respectively. Digital PCR-based testing increased KRAS (68%) and GNAS (52%) mutations detection level in IPMNs, but not other cyst types.We demonstrate relatively high rates of somatic mutations of cancer-related genes, including KRAS and GNAS, in cfDNA isolated from PCFs irrespectively of the pancreatic cyst type. Further studies on molecular mechanisms of pancreatic cysts malignant transformation in relation to their mutational profiles are required.
