PROFIL MUTASI GEN EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR EKSON 21 PADA PASIEN DENGAN KANKER PARU JENIS ADENOKARSINOMA Andika Priamas Nugrahanto, Didik Setyo Heriyanto, Sumadi Lukman Anwar Fakultas Kedokteran, Universitas Gadjah Mada INTISARI LATAR BELAKANG: Kanker paru merupakan penyumbang beban penyakit kanker dan kematian akibat kanker tertinggi di dunia. Adenokarsinoma paru merupakan jenis kanker paru tersering yang biasanya terdiagnosis pada pasien wanita, ras Asia dan bukan perokok. Adenokarsinoma paru sering dikaitkan dengan mutasi gen EGFR. Pada populasi Asia, mutasi gen EGFR terdeteksi paling banyak pada ekson 21. Saat ini pengobatan untuk Adenokarsinoma masih mengandalkan pembedahan dan kemoterapi, yang mempunyai banyak efek samping dan efektifitasnya masih relatif rendah. Dengan ditemukanya targeted therapy untuk mutasi ini, peneliti ingin menganalisis frekuensi mutasi gen EGFR yang sebelumnya belum pernah dilakukan di populasi Indonesia. Dengan demikian, targeted therapy bias digunakan secara efektif pada pasien kanker paru jenis adenokarsinoma. TUJUAN: mengetahui profil mutasi gen EGFR ekson 21 pada pasien kanker paru jenis adenokarsinoma. METODE: Penelitian cross sectional terhadap mutasi gen EGFR pada ekson 21 diantara 30 pasien Adenokarsinoma paru. DNA diekstraksi kemudian dianalisis menggunakan PCR untuk gen EGFR ekson 21, lalu dilanjutkan elektroforesis dan direct sequencing. Data tersebut kemudian disusun dan dianalisis profil mutasinya. HASIL: Peneliti menemukan mutasi EGFR Ekson 21 sebesar 16,667%. Mutasi ekon ini memiliki persebaran usia ≤60 tahun sebanyak 4 orang dan >60 tahun sebanyak 1 orang. Muutasi EGFR ekson 21 ini didominasi jenis kelamin wanita yakni sebanyak 3 orang sementara pria hanya 2 orang. KESIMPULAN: Mutasi gen EGFR Ekson 21 di populasi Indonesia sering ditemunkan pada pasien wanita dan usia <60 tahun. Studi lebih lanjut dengan melibatkan pasien lebih banyak dari wilayah lain di Indonesia dibutuhkan untuk memvalidasi penemuan peneliti. x EXON 21 EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR GENE MUTATION PROFILE IN PATIENT WITH ADENOCARCINOMA LUNG CANCER Andika Priamas Nugrahanto, Didik Setyo Heriyanto, Sumadi Lukman Anwar Faculty of Medicine, Gadjah Mada University ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Lung cancer contributes as one of the most common cancer burden and related mortalilty in the world. Adenocarcinoma lung cancer is the most frequent type of lung cancer that is mostly diagnosed in female, Asian race and non smokers patients. Adenocarcinoma is related to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations incidences. In Asian, EGFR gene mutations are detected mostly in exon 21. Adenocarcinoma treatment nowadays is still using surgery and chemotherapy, which has been related with significant side effects. Effectivity of traditional therapy using surgery and chemotherapy is relatively low in lung cancer. With the invention of targeted therapy for EGFR mutations, we want to analyze about EGFR gene mutation frequency that previously hasn’t been explored in Indonesian population. Therefore, application of targeted therapy can be properly and effectively delivered to lung cancer patients. Objective: to investigate exon 21 EGFR gene mutation profiles in patients with adenocarcinoma lung cancer. Methods: Cross sectional study design was conducted for exon 21 EGFR gene mutation among 30 adenocarcinoma lung cancer pateints. DNA was extracted and then analyzed by using PCR for exon 21 EGFR gene, which later followed by electrophoresis and direct sequencing. The data is compiled and analyzed. Results: We found 16,67% of all adenocarcinoma lung cancer with exon 21 EGFR gen mutations. Those with mutations, 4 subjects were ≤60 years old and 1 subject was >60 years old. Mutations on exon 21 EGFR genes is predominantly female (3 females), compared only 2 males. Conclusion: Mutation of exon 21 EGFR genes in our population were commonly found in female patients and ≤60 years. Further study involving more patients from different Indonesian regions is required to validate our findings. xi
