(a) Microsatellite analysis of chromosome 11p15 in the WES cohort. All cases with available parental DNA demonstrated selective loss of maternal chromosome 11p15 (n=8, purple). (b) Temporal order of chromosome 11p and 17p cn-LOH and accumulation of SNVs in SJACT002. Scatter plots show MAFs of somatic SNVs and their genomic positions (individual dots) combined with two-dimensional (2D) density plots of AI values of germline heterozygous SNPs in cn-LOH regions of chromosomes 11p (left) and 17p (centre). At right, AI values in cn-LOH regions of chromosomes 11p and 17p were compared with the MAF distribution of somatic SNVs in genome-wide cn-LOH regions. (c) A three-dimensional (3D) scatter plot summarizes the temporal order of cn-LOH of chromosomes 11p and 17p and somatic SNV accumulation in paediatric ACTs. Shown are the median AI values for the chromosome 11p cn-LOH region, the median AI values for the chromosome 17p cn-LOH region and the median MAF of SNVs in genome-wide cn-LOH regions of 14 cases; SJACT002 and SJACT005 are labelled.
