MYC translocations correspond with focal amplifications and aberrant expression. a Circos plot of MYC translocations in newly diagnosed myeloma (N = 795). The median VAF and frequency of each translocation is denoted by the color and thickness of the line, respectively (see keys bottom left and right). b Genome (GRCh37) plot of the MYC locus showing genes (arrows indicate the direction of transcription; 1: MIR1204, 2: TMEM75, 3: MIR1205, 4: U4, 5: MIR1206, 6: MIR1207), and the location of MYC translocations [t(MYC)]. c Frequency of copy number gains (red) and losses (blue) for all samples (solid line) and those with t(MYC) (dashed line). d A heatmap of copy number across the locus is shown for samples with either a MYC translocation (black) or only a CNA (white) sorted by the location of the MYC translocation, which are superimposed on the heatmap as 10 kb black regions. e ATAC-seq for 6 myeloma cell lines across the locus is shown below (RPM: reads per million). f Venn diagram of samples with a CNA at the MYC locus (dashed gray line), CNA boundary (solid gray line), or MYC translocation (black line). g Gene expression of MYC in samples with RNA-seq data (N = 611) for patients with no MYC alteration (none; N = 382), MYC CNA only (N = 83), MYC translocations to non-immunoglobulin genes [t(other); N = 81], IgH-MYC translocations [t(8;14); N = 27], IgK-MYC translocations [t(2;8); N = 13], and IgL-MYC translocations [t(8;22); N = 25]. ***P < 0.001, analysis of variance with Tukey’s post hoc test. Boxplots show the median and quartiles with the whiskers extending to the most extreme data point within 1.5 times the interquartile range. h Progression-free (PFS; left) and overall survival (OS; right) for patients stratified by MYC structural variant type as in part g. P-values are shown in parenthesis and were calculated using a Cox proportional hazards Wald's test and denote the significance of survival differences relative to myelomas without a detectable MYC structural variant (none).
