Popis: Background: The synchronous primary right-sided and left-sided colon cancer (sRL-CC) is a peculiar subtype of colorectal cancer. However, the genomic landscape of sRL-CC remains elusive.Methods: Twenty-eight paired tumor samples and their corresponding normal mucosa samples from 14 patients were collected from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from 2011 to 2018. The clinical–pathological data were obtained, and whole-exome sequencing was performed based on formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples of these patients, and then, comprehensive bioinformatic analyses were conducted.Results: Both the lesions of sRL-CC presented dissimilar histological grade and differentiation. Based on sequencing data, few overlapping SNV signatures, onco-driver gene mutations, and SMGs were identified. Moreover, the paired lesions harbored a different distribution of copy number variants (CNVs) and loss of heterozygosity. The clonal architecture analysis demonstrated the polyclonal origin of sRL-CC and inter-cancerous heterogeneity between two lesions.Conclusion: Our work provides evidence that lesions of sRL-CC share few overlapping mutational signatures and CNVs, and may originate from different clones.
