• Metastatic Adult Pancreatoblastoma: Multimodal Treatment and Molecular Characterization of a Very Rare Disease (NCT MASTER)

  Pancreatoblastoma is a rare malignant tumor that occurs predominantly in children. We identified four adult patients with metastasizing pancreatoblastoma at a high-volume German university cancer center which were treated with multimodal therapies between 2013 and 2018. In three cases, we performed a comprehensive molecular analysis that included whole-genome sequencing (WGS) or whole-exome sequencing (WES); transcriptome sequencing was performed in two cases, respectively. Subsequent recommendations of molecularly stratified treatment options were discussed within a dedicated molecular tumor board (MTB) embedded in a precision oncology program (NCT MASTER).

• Targeted sequencing of breast cancers with germline BRCA1/2 mutations

  Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women, where a germline predisposition plays a substantial role. However, the effects of pathogenic germline variants on accompanying breast cancers have not been fully characterized in terms of somatic alterations. We obtained tumor samples from 30 patients with pathogenic germline variants in BRCA2 (n = 25) and BRCA1 (n = 5), as well as an additional 30 patients without pathogenic germline mutations, in which somatic mutations in common breast cancer drivers and CNAs were analyzed using targeted panel sequencing.

• Whole genome sequencing of colon organoid cultures with artificially induced oncogenic mutations

  Using the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system, various oncogenic mutations were introduced in the genome of normal adult stem cells derived from the colon. The resulting clonal cultures were subjected to whole genome sequencing. In addition, the cultures were transplanted in a mouse and the resulting primary and metastatic tumors were also subjected to whole genome sequencing. The initial bulk culture, which was used to generate the mutations, was also whole genome sequenced and served as a reference sample to filter germline variants.

• Sequencing_probands_and_families_with_severe_insulin_resistance_syndromes

  This is an ongoing project and continuation to all the sequencing we have been doing over the last few years. We have some additional families and probands with syndromes of insulin resistance not previously sequenced within uk10k or other core funded projects. We would like to complete the sequencing in all of the good quality families and probands we have, this would require another ~50 samples to be WES sequenced. This cohort has already proven to be a rich source of interesting findings with papers in Science and Nature genetics.

• Genomic analysis of HPV positive versus HPV negative esophageal adenocarcinoma

  High-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) has been implicated in a subset of patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). We therefore hypothesized that HPV associated EAC may have distinct genomic aberrations compared with viral negative esophageal cancer as shown in Head and Neck cancer and cervical cancer. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed to explore the mutational landscape and potential molecular signature of HPV positive versus HPV negative EAC, which includes four hr-HPV-positive and 8 HPV-negative treatment naive fresh-frozen EAC tissue specimens and matched normal tissues.

• Precursor_lesions__clonal_architecture_and_relapse_in_Wilms_nephroblastoma

  Targeted resequencing at high depth (21 genes, 9 chromosomal regions): at least 4 FFPE samples per case and matched germline DNA: •100 cases with detailed outcome data, including 15 cases with tumour relapse (515 samples)•40 cases with matched pre-chemotherapy biopsies (240 samples)•50 nephrogenic rests matched to above cases (50 samples)We expect a proportion (possibly 10%) of cases to be mutationally silent on the above studies, and propose to subsequently carry out integrated whole-genome, methylome and transcriptome studies on matched frozen tissue from these cases

• The_Causes_of_Clonal_Blood_Cell_Disorders_Study___SCOR_Custom

  We took a bone marrow aspirate and peripheral blood samples from a healthy patient aged around 60, and use flow cytometry to isolate 100 HSCs, 50 MEPs, and 50 GMPs. We grew these up into colonies, then whole genome sequenced each colony. Somatic mutations act as a unique barcode for each clone. We have designed a panel for targeted resequencing of the mutations that we find. We are now looking for these mutations in the peripheral blood, to see the dynamics of how HSCs contribute to the peripheral blood in health.

• Acute_Lymphoblastic_Leukemia_Exome_sequencing

  Agilent whole exome hybridisation capture will be performed on genomic DNA derived from 50 Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia samples and matched normal DNA from the same patients. Three lanes of Illumina GA sequencing will be performed on the resulting 100 exome libraries and mapped build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the identification of novel cancer genes. In addition, 500bp, NO_PCR total genomic libraries will be prepared from the same samples and five lanes of Illumina GA sequencing will be analysed to characterise genome wide, somatically acquired structural variation.

• Mapping and phasing of structural variation in patient genomes using nanopore sequencing

  We whole genome sequence 2 patients with congenital abnormalities and known complex de novo chromosomal rearrangements using the Nanopore MinION. We show how we can detect most previoulsy detected de novo rearrangements as well as uncover a few new ones. Furthermore, we perform genome-wide analyses showing the accuracy of SV detection and of phasing, using long reads. The files uploaded here are the whole genome Nanopore data for each of the two patients used, as well as the corresponding whole genome illumina data, used in our comparisons.

• Identification of fusion transcripts by RNA-sequencing and Whole genome sequencing of a METABRIC patient sample

  Fusion transcripts and their exact breakpoints were identified in RNA-seq data (30X) of an ER-,HER2+ breast cancer. DNA-level breakpoints associated with the fusion events were determined by analyzing whole genome sequencing (WGS) data (30X) from the same donor. The RNA-seq and WGS data for this case were generated on the Illumina platform using standard protocols. The patient (MB-0152) derives from the METABRIC cohort for which array based copy number and gene expression data were previously described (EGAS00000000083).
