• Circulating Tumor DNA Sequencing Provides Comprehensive Mutation Profiling for Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors

  Tumor molecular profiling is increasingly important for the diagnosis and clinical management of childhood brain tumors, including diffuse midline glioma (DMG). We established a targeted deep sequencing approach using the TruSight Oncology 500 ctDNA exome panel to detect tumor genomic mutations and copy number variations in circulating tumor DNA from children diagnosed with DMG. In this study, we present the sensitivity, specificity, and clinical implications of our liquid biopsy sequencing approach for tumor genome profiling in children with DMG.

• Small Genomic Insertions Form Enhancers that Misregulate Oncogenes

  ChIP-Seq data from 102 cell lines were processed to identify insertions relative to the human reference genome. To confirm the ability of a computational pipeline to identify insertions that are actually present in these genomes, we PCR-amplified and deeply sequenced regions where insertions were predicted to exist in MOLT4 T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. The current study release makes available sequences of amplicons from a tumor cell genome (MOLT4) where a computational pipeline predicted small insertions from orthogonal data.

• Kids First: Genetic Basis of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

  Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is estimated to occur in at least 1-5% of all children in the USA and is a major public health issue. However, in addition to alcohol, other susceptibility factors, such as maternal or fetal genetic variation, must play a role as not all children prenatally exposed to alcohol are similarly affected. The proposed study will examine the role of genetic susceptibility for FASD. This work will help to inform more effective intervention efforts for this common congenital disorder.

• Metatranscriptomic Sequencing of Pre-Transplant Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Patients

  Children with malignancies, immunodeficiencies, and other life-threatening diseases sometimes receive allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) as a treatment for their disease. The HCT process can be complicated by the development of lung disease from infection, alloreactivity, or other causes. To identify patients at-risk for post-HCT lung disease, this study uses metatranscriptomic RNA sequencing of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) obtained prior to HCT. Sequencing results are associated with the development of post-HCT lung injury.

• Single-Sperm Genome Sequencing of Sperm Donors

  This study performed single-cell DNA sequencing of sperm from 20 presumably fertile sperm donors from a sperm bank. In aggregate, these single-cell sequences yield the genomes of the sperm donors. Original analyses consisted of inferring recombination and aneuploidy from the single-cell sequences. The raw data may be useful for re-processing, investigation of other meiotic phenotypes, and other investigations that would benefit from DNA sequence data deriving from sperm cells. Data can be aggregated by molecular identifier, cellular identifier, or sperm donor.

• Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI): Single-Cell Atlas of NF1 Nerve Sheath Tumors

  The worst outcome of NF1 is the development of the aggressive and highly metastatic malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST), which transform from benign plexiform neurofibroma (PN) and lack effective treatment. In this study, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of 63 clinically annotated NF1-associated peripheral nerve sheath tumors, including 24 PN, 34 premalignant atypical neurofibromas, and 5 MPNSTs. These results improve the ability of identifying high-risk neurofibromas and provide a unique opportunity for early detection of MPNST.

• Characterization of copy number quiet oral cancer

  Copy number quiet head and neck squamous cell carcinoma are a distinct subset with relatively good prognosis. Previous work has indicated this subset is most commonly found in the oral cavity and is highly enriched for HRAS and CASP8 mutations. TP53 mutations are much less common than in CNA-quiet oral cancers. In this study we corroborate the validity of CNA-quiet tumors as a distinct subset in a large OSCC cohort and further chart clinical, genomic, and immunological characteristics of this subset.
