BACKGROUND/AIM: Wilms' tumors are pediatric renal tumors that generally have a good prognosis and outcomes. Viral illnesses have been linked to development of neoplasms and should be considered as a factor that could modulate overall survival.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We considered recently developed adaptive immune receptor, genomics and bioinformatics approaches to assess the potential impact of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in Wilms' tumor.
RESULTS: T-cell receptor (TCR) complementarity determining region-3 (CDR3) amino acid sequences from Wilms' tumor specimens represented by the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments dataset were compared with known anti-CMV TCR CDR3s, indicating that cases representing the anti-CMV TCR CDR3s had worse outcomes. Then, a chemical complementarity scoring approach for the Wilms' tumor, TCR CDR3s and a series of CMV antigens further indicated that cases representing a higher chemical complementarity to the CMV antigens had worse outcomes.
CONCLUSION: Overall, we present a potentially novel method to assess CMV infections and identify patients who could benefit from therapies that address such infections.
