    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: We identified the genomic signature of ocular adnexal lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs), especially ocular adnexal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD), reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS: We included 52 subjects with ocular adnexal LPDs (13 orbital MALT lymphomas, 16 conjunctival MALT lymphomas, 13 IgG4-RODs, 4 RLHs, and 6 DLBCLs) who had been treated at the Tokyo Medical University Hospital from 2008 to 2012. Genomic DNA was extracted from the tumor tissues and subjected to high-resolution single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-A) karyotyping using GeneChip Human Mapping 250K SNP arrays. The array data were investigated using Copy Number Analysis for GeneChips (CNAG) software. RESULTS: In ocular adnexal MALT lymphomas, the most frequent copy number (CN) gain region was trisomy 3 detected in 31% (9/29), followed by trisomy 18 in 17% (5/29), and 6p and 21q in 14% (4/29). The most frequent CN loss regions were 6q and 9p, detected in 7% (2/29). Uniparental disomy was detected on 6q in 14% (4/29), followed by 3q in 10% (3/29). Copy number variations (CNVs) were not detected in IgG4-RODs and RLHs. Conversely, CNVs were more frequent in DLBCLs than in ocular adnexal MALT lymphomas. Copy number variations were detected in 77% (10/13) of orbital MALT lymphomas and in 67% (11/16) of conjunctival MALT lymphomas. CONCLUSIONS: High-resolution single nucleotide polymorphism array is a useful method for discriminating ocular adnexal lymphomas from benign LPDs. The differences in the chromosomal abnormality patterns may reflect the activity of ocular adnexal LPDs.
