Abstract: A substantial proportion of cancer cases present with a metastatic tumor and require further testing to determine the primary site; many of these are never fully diagnosed and remain cancer of unknown primary origin (CUP). It has been previously demonstrated that epigenomic variations detected in whole-genome bisulfite sequencing data of plasma cell-free DNA can be used to identify its site of origin with limited accuracy. Recently, tissue-specific mutation accumulation pattern were found. We hypothesized that tissue origin of cancer cells can be identified by genomic variations detected from whole genome/exome sequencing data of tumor cells even plasma cell-free DNA. We presented a kernel machine to identify tissue origin based on somatic single nucleotide variations, copy number alterations and mutational signature from whole genome/exome sequencing 5610 cases across 24 cancer types from TCGA. The model achieved 80% of accuracy (79% of the F1 score) and the 88% of top2 accuracy (88% of the top2 F1 score) with 100 replicates of 5-fold cross-validation.
