• The chemotherapeutic CX-5461 is extremely mutagenic and may increase cancer risk

  The chemotherapeutic agent CX-5461 or pidnarulex has been fast-tracked by the US FDA for treatment of BRCA1-, BRCA2-, and PALB2-mutated cancers. It is under investigation in Phase I/II clinical trials. Here we find that although CX-5461 exhibits synthetic lethality in BRCA1-/BRCA2-deficient cells, it also causes extensive, non-selective, collateral mutagenesis in all cells, to magnitudes that exceed known environmental carcinogens, raising public health concerns regarding its potential for promoting secondary cancers.

• Analysis of Papilloma Infiltrating T cells from an Exceptional Responder to Immunotherapy

  This data corresponds to single cell RNA-seq data of TIL from a young woman with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis who was treated with PD-L1 blockade and experienced durable disease control over a 4+ year period. A HPV6 E2-specific, HLA-B*55 restricted TCR was identified and shown to be present in both the immediate post treatment and 4 year TIL, with a gene expression profile indicative of being a tissue resident memory T cell.

• Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics - Digital Health Technologies (RADx-DHT): NIH Digital Health Solutions for COVID-19: SAFER-COVID - Integration of Testing and Digital Health

  SAFER-COVID provides a set of self-management tools to consumers to track symptoms, test results, vaccine record, and environmental factors, such as exposure to others. Consumers may choose to integrate data from wearables and electronic health records (EHR) for self management. These data are used to enable multiple use cases such as return-to-work, activity risk assessment and self-management within SAFER-COVID.DOI: https://rapids.ll.mit.edu/10.57895/cmt5-gh78

• Washington University PDX Development and Trial Center

  This data set is a collection of patient specimens from common and rare cancers that have been developed into patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models at the Washington University PDX Development and Trial Center (WU-PDTC). The goal of the PDTC is to develop and characterize PDX models, gaining insight into tumor biology, and validating biomarkers across all major tumor types. Pre-clinical experiments in these PDX models will be used to advance our ability to predict clinical responses to new molecularly targeted agents under development.

• Landscape of Somatic Mutations in B Lymphocytes Across Human Lifespan

  The accumulation of spontaneous mutations in somatic cells has been implicated as a cause of aging since 1950. Yet, attempts to establish a causal relationship between somatic mutations and aging have been constrained by the lack of methods to directly identify mutational events in primary human tissues. Using a highly accurate single-cell whole-genome sequencing method, we analyzed human B lymphocytes from donors varying in age from birth to over 100 years, studying both genome distribution and functional impact of base substitution mutations.

• Endometrial Cancer Association Consortium - OncoArray Genotypes

  The data come from 9 studies participating in the Endometrial Cancer Association Consortium (ECAC). ECAC data included in this dbGaP submission include OncoArray data from 4486 endometrial cancer cases genotyped at the Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR). Samples were genotyped using the Illumina OncoArray beadchip 500K SNP custom array. Details of the genotyping process and sample selection are included in O'Mara et al, Identification of nine new susceptibility loci for endometrial cancer. Nature Communications (PMID:30093612).

• Next Generation Mendelian Genetics: Kabuki Syndrome

  The ultimate purpose of this research is to identify genes causing hereditary disorders. We are scaling a new approach to identify the candidate genes and gene mutations that underlie rare human Mendelian (a set of primary tenets relating to the transmission of hereditary characteristics from parent to child) diseases by using exome (protein coding segments of DNA) resequencing. The exome sequences of ten unrelated individuals with a diagnosis of Kabuki Syndrome (OMIM: 147920) were obtained by massively parallel DNA sequencing.

• Disease Severity in Familial Dysautonomia

  Familial Dysautonomia (FD) is a developmental and degenerative genetic disease that manifests in the neural crest cells and peripheral nervous system (PNS). Despite all FD patients having the same mutation in IKBKAP, patients present with varying disease severity, ranging from mild to severe. We used the human pluripotent stem cell technology to recapitulate this varying disease severity in the dish. Further, we found that severe, but not mild patients harbor mutations in candidate modifier genes that may contribute to severe disease presentation.

• Bladder Chemotherapy Responders

  Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the standard of care for patients with muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma. Pathologic downstaging to pT0/pTis after neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy is associated with improved survival, and some patients with metastatic disease achieve complete responses to these therapies. However, the molecular determinants of cisplatin response are incompletely understood. We performed whole exome sequencing on tumor and germline DNA from patients with muscle invasive or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who received cisplatin-based chemotherapy to identify somatic mutations that occurred preferentially in cisplatin responders.

• Genome Instability in Mammary Cells of Pathogenic BRCA1/2 Mutation Carriers

  It remains unknown if inherited germline mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer by elevating mutation rate in mammary cells. Here we show, using a single-cell whole genome sequencing approach, that mammary luminal epithelial cells isolated from tissues obtained from preventive mastectomy surgeries in women with a pathogenic BRCA1/2 germline mutation, exhibit a statistically significant, increased mutation frequency as compared to age-matched controls without genetic risk of breast cancer.
