• Genomic Characterization CS-MATCH-0007 Arm P

  The CS-MATCH-0007 protocol is part of a collaboration between the Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG) and the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) to perform whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing using pre-and post-treatment tumor biopsy specimens from patients enrolled on a treatment arm of the NCI-MATCH Clinical Trial (EAY131). The goal of this study is to identify the molecular basis for response and resistance to targeted therapies that are matched to specific genomic alterations found in their cancers. Arm P is one of the treatment sub-protocols within the NCI-MATCH Clinical Trial (EAY131) where patients with PTEN loss by IHC are treated with the drug GSK2636771. This subprotocol is one of the treatment arms included in the CS-MATCH-0007 protocol and will provide specimens for the program including DNA from tumor tissue and whole blood.

• Genetic Analysis of Skin Cells

  Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a form of skin cancer originating from keratinocytes in the skin. They have high mutation burdens, primarily driven by UV-radiation-induced DNA damage. The order in which mutations undergo selection during the evolution of cSCC is not known. A subset of cSCCs grow out of benign neoplasms called actinic keratoses. To better understand the evolution of cSCC, we identified cases of cSCCs adjacent to actinic keratoses. From these cases, we separately microdissected the surrounding normal skin, the actinic keratosis, and the cSCC, and we performed targeted DNA-sequencing on the tissue from each area. We reconstructed tumor phylogenies and performed spatial transcriptomics on the 10X FFPE Visium platform on a subset of cases. Collectively, these studies revealed the mutational and gene expression changes that arise during the evolution of cSCC.

• The Contribution of De Novo Coding Mutations to Meningomyelocele

  Meningomyelocele (MM) is considered a genetically complex disease resulting from the failure of the neural tube to close; a neural tube defect (NTD). Patients display neuromotor disability and frequent hydrocephalus requiring ventricular shunting. A few genes have been proposed to contribute to disease susceptibility, but most risk remains unexplained. 851 MM trios were recruited and we found 187 likely gene disrupting or damaging missense de novo mutations (DNMs) that are estimated to contribute to disease risk. These DNMs collectively define networks including actin cytoskeleton and microtubule-based processes, axon guidance, and histone modification. Gene validation demonstrates partial or complete loss of function, impaired signaling and defective neural tube closure in Xenopus embryos. Our results suggest DNMs make key contributions to MM risk, and highlight critical pathways required for neural tube closure in human embryogenesis. Data for 245 WES trios and 1 quad are available through dbGaP.

• Transgenerational Transmission of Post-Zygotic Mutations Suggests Symmetric Contribution of First Two Blastomeres to Human Germline

  Skin and blood samples were collected from four phenotypically normal individuals (mother, father, and children) from a randomly selected family. Whole genomes of the samples from these individuals were sequenced to a depth of 30X-200X. Sequencing data for the mother was previously analyzed and is available at NDA collection #2961. Sequenced reads from the children and father were aligned to the human reference genome (hg19) generating BAM files for each individual. We used post-zygotic mutations in the mother to trace cell lineages across human generations. Analysis of this family demonstrated that different cell lineages were transmitted to offspring. Coupled with analysis of publicly available data, this result revealed a fundamental difference between soma and germline in lineage allocation and suggested a 50:50 contribution of the first two blastomeres to the germline.

• "Distinct immunometabolic signatures in circulating immune cells define disease outcome in acute-on-chronic liver failure"

  We performed single-cell transcriptomics of PBMC’s from healthy (n= 3), acute decompensated (AD) (n= 3) and Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients. Lay Summary: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) develops in cirrhotic patients and is characterized by an hyper-inflammatory immune state driving multiple organ failure(s). As a paradox, circulating immune cells also show transcription and metabolic evidence of exhaustion, explaining why these patients are often susceptible to secondary infections. We characterized at a transcriptional level all circulating immune cells of ACLF patiens, and specifically unraveled a distinct recovery and non-recovery ACLF signature within the monocyte population. Moreover, these changes were closely linked to metabolic differences within these cells. The described alterations allowed for a robust prediction of recovery and non-recovery of patients at admission to the hospital.

• Estimating the Efficacy of Pharmacogenomics Over a Lifetime

  The goal was to evaluate the potential impact of pharmacogenomic testing on drug prescribing over a lifetime. To address this goal, 300 random patients enrolled in Marshfield Clinic's PMRP biobank with life-long medical records were whole genome sequenced and evaluated for known clinically actionable pharmacogenomic variants as defined by CPIC and FDA. This genomic data was evaluated in the context of extensive longitudinal prescription record data from patient EHR. Results show nearly all (93%) carry a clinically actionable pharmacogenomic variant and 80% with a variant were prescribed approximately three medications on average that may have been impacted because of their variants, the optimal age for pharmacogenomic testing was prior to age 50, but most patients well past their 50s can still benefit from pharmacogenomic testing. Results available include genotype and drug prescribing data.

• Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI): Molecular Characterization Initiative

  The National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) focuses on the critical need to collect, analyze, and share data to address the burden of cancer in children, adolescents, and young adults (AYAs). The Molecular Characterization Initiative (MCI) will further the CCDI's goals by providing access to better diagnostic tests for pediatric and AYA patients. The molecular characterizations of solid tumors, soft tissue sarcomas, and rare diseases are performed in a CLIA-certified setting as results may be used to screen for and/or confirm clinical trial eligibility, direct treatment, or otherwise contribute to the conduct of the trial. The following molecular characterization assays were performed:Tumor/Normal Whole Exome sequencing Methylation arraysArcher fusion panel Deidentified clinical reportsNote: New data will be added periodically, please check the CCDI Hub Explore site for updates.

• ProstOmics: spatial and bulk multi-omics of prostate cancer

  In this ERC-funded ProstOmics project we have used spatial and bulk multi-omics on fresh frozen prostate cancer samples to investigate cancer biology and find for biomarkers to improve patient treatment. All tissue material were collected from prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy who had not received any prior cancer-specific treatment.Of the 498 prostate tissue samples (114 patients) included in our project, 176 samples (N=37 patients) have been analyzed with bulk transcriptomics (RNA-seq). Some of these 176 samples were also analyzed with spatial transcriptomics (n=32, N=8, Visium 10x RNA-seq) and DNA methylomics (n=96, N=24, array). All datasets include metadata for histopathological evaluation. Patient metadata include information of age at surgery, time (months) until reported relapse, pre-surgery PSA and post-surgery T-stage.
