Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a molecular signature of mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR), a predictive marker of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy response. Despite its recognized pan-cancer value, most methods only support detection of this signature in colorectal cancer. In addition to the tissue-specific differences that impact the sensitivity of MSI detection in other tissues, the performance of most methods is also affected by patient ethnicity, tumor content, and other sample-specific properties. These limitations are particularly important when only tumor samples are available and restrict the performance and adoption of MSI testing. Here we introduce MSIdetect, a novel solution for NGS-based MSI detection. MSIdetect models the impact of indel burden and tumor content on read coverage at a set of homopolymer regions that we found are minimally impacted by sample-specific factors. We validated MSIdetect in 139 Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) clinical samples from colorectal and endometrial cancer as well as other more challenging tumor types, such as glioma or sebaceous adenoma or carcinoma. Based on analysis of these samples, MSIdetect displays 100% specificity and 96.3% sensitivity. Limit of detection analysis supports that MSIdetect is sensitive even in samples with relatively low tumor content and limited microsatellite instability. Finally, the results obtained using MSIdetect in tumor-only data correlate well (R=0.988) with what is obtained using tumor-normal matched pairs, demonstrating that the solution addresses the challenges posed by MSI detection from tumor-only data. The accuracy of MSI detection by MSIdetect in different cancer types coupled with the flexibility afforded by NGS-based testing will support the adoption of MSI testing in the clinical setting and increase the number of patients identified that are likely to benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. |
