• Timing and trajectory of BCR-ABL1 driven chronic myeloid leukaemia

  Mutation of some genes provide fitness advantages that drive uncontrolled cell proliferation, leading to clinical manifestations of cancer. The discovery of the Philadelphia chromosome in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) provided the very first such genetic link to cancer and the hypothesis that this lesion provided an abnormal growth advantage to cells. However, little is known about the trajectory to CML, the rate of BCR::ABL1 driven clonal expansion, and how this impacts on disease presentation. Here, using whole-genome sequencing of 1013 single-cell-derived colonies from patients with CML, we reconstruct phylogenetic trees of haematopoiesis in 9 patients aged 22 to 81 years at diagnosis. The expected intronic breaks in BCR and ABL1 were not always observed, and out-of-frame exonic breakpoints in BCR, requiring exon skipping to derive BCR::ABL1 fusion transcripts, were noted in several patients. Apart from ASXL1 and RUNX1 mutations, additional somatic mutations in myeloid genes were generally present only in wild-type cells and did not contribute to the CML clone. Using phylogenetic analysis, we infer sustained explosive growth attributed to BCR::ABL1 fusion, with clonal expansions beginning 3-14 years (Cl 2-16 years) before diagnosis and annual growth rates exceeding 70,000% per year in some young patients with the most recent and rapid clonal expansions. Mutation rate was higher in BCR::ABL1-positive cells than in wild-type counterparts, together with markedly shorter telomere lengths, reflecting their excessive cell division history. Clonal expansion rates inferred from phylogenetic trees were in line with mutational signature patterns and telomere attrition, and inversely correlated with the time to diagnosis. Whole genome sequencing of advanced phase CML was characterised by genomic evolution within BCR::ABL1-positive cells. Our findings highlight the oncogenic potency of a single BCR::ABL1 fusion and its capacity to drive fast clonal outgrowth to cancer. These data contrast with the early-in-life, slow, and sequential clonal trajectories typical of most cancers, such as Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms, solid organ malignancies, and patterns of clonal expansion in healthy tissue ageing.

• Whole Genome Sequencing Consortium on Frontotemporal Dementia With Underlying TDP-43 Pathology

  Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is one of the leading causes of dementia in individuals younger than 65 years. The FTLD symptoms of most patients are not yet explained by mutations in the known FTLD genes (C9orf72, GRN, MAPT). Identifying genetic risk associated with the disease is key for developing disease models and new therapeutic avenues. We performed short-read whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on 19 neuropathologically normal individuals and 560 patients with FTLD, including 171 pathologically confirmed FTLD patients, 352 clinically diagnosed FTLD patients, and 37 autosomal dominant FTLD patients. Pathologically confirmed FTLD patients include FTLD with TDP43 inclusions (FTLD-TDP) and FTLD with FUS inclusions (FTLD-FUS), autosomal dominant FTLD patients include GRN (FTLD-TDP GRN) and C9ORF72 (FTLD-TDP C9ORF72) mutation carriers, clinically diagnosed patients include behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), frontotemporal dementia with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FTD-ALS), frontotemporal dementia with corticobasal syndrome (FTD-CBS), semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), and non-fluent variant of primary progressive aphasia (nfvPPA).

• Multiplexed scRNA-Seq Reveals Cellular and Genetic Correlates of SLE

  Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease. Knowledge of circulating immune cell types and cell states associated with SLE remains incomplete. We profiled over 1.2 million PBMCs (160 cases, 98 controls) with multiplexed single-cell RNA-seq (mux-seq). Cases exhibited prominent expression of type-1 interferon-stimulated genes (ISG) in monocytes, reduction of naïve CD4+ T cells that correlated with monocyte ISG expression, and expansion of repertoire-restricted cytotoxic GZMH+ CD8+ T cells. Cell-type-specific expression features accurately predicted case-control status and stratified patients into two molecular subtypes. We integrated dense genotyping data, mapping cell-type-specific cis-eQTLs and linked known and novel SLE-associated variants to cell-type-specific gene expression. These results demonstrate mux-seq as a systematic approach to characterize cellular composition, identify transcriptional signatures, and annotate genetic variants associated with SLE.

• Kids First: Whole Genome Sequencing Studies of Multiplex Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip/Palate Families

  Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCLP) is a common birth defect that affects approximately 135,000 newborns worldwide, and imposes significant medical, psychosocial and financial burdens to affected individuals and their families. Genetic variation in numerous genes has been associated with NSCLP, however the exact mechanisms by which they contribute to the condition remain largely unknown. Here, we will use whole genome sequencing and robust analytical approaches to systematically evaluate the causes of NSCLP in 923 individuals from large multigenerational families.

• Single Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Studies of Fibrosis in Prospective Registry in IBD Study at MGH and GI Disease and Endoscopy Registry

  Stricturing disease or fibrosis is a common complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), often requiring surgical intervention. This process is caused by the abnormal deposition of extracellular matrix in the context of inflammation, and thus involves crosstalk between multiple cell types including fibroblasts and immune cells. To understand the cellular interactions involved in fibrosis, we performed single cell and spatial transcriptomic analyses of biopsy or resection samples from IBD patients, diverticulitis patients or controls.For single cell analyses, intestinal samples were processed within three hours of collection by first stripping the epithelial layer with EDTA and then enzymatically digesting the underlying tissue. Cells from both the epithelial and tissue fractions were separately loaded in two channels on a 10x Chromium controller and libraries were generated with the 3'v3 Chemistry pipeline before sequencing on an Illumina sequencer. The resulting sequence data was demultiplexed and analyzed with the CellRanger pipeline to generate raw fastq files and processed gene-count matrices for each sample.For spatial transcriptomic analyses, intestinal resection samples were snap frozen in OCT (optimal cutting temperature embedding medium). Blocks were cut into 10μm sections in a cryostat and transferred to a 10x Genomics Visium slide v1. Spatially barcoded libraries were prepared according to manufacturer's instructions and sequencing on an Illumina sequencer. The resulting sequence data was processed with the SpaceRanger pipeline to generate fastq files and processed barcode-count matrices. Using the samples deposited here, we defined 68 fine-grained cell types across the ileum and colon of control and fibrotic intestinal tissues. We show that intestinal strictures were characterized by increased immune cells - including IgG+ plasma cells and CCR7hiCD4+ T cells - and inflammatory fibroblasts. We also define the transcriptional differences associated with fibrosis, with inflammatory fibroblasts in particular showing broad changes in gene expression. Spatial transcriptomics showed that key subsets colocalize within diseased tissues and identified additional populations such as interstitial cells of Cajal and enteric neurons. Further, we mapped gene expression onto intestinal biogeography, finding that known genetic risk loci are enriched within discrete spatial modules, defined by the presence of inflammatory fibroblasts and lymphoid follicles. Altogether, our datasets chart the key transcriptomic and cellular networks in stricturing CD and highlight the spatial organization of multicellular genetic risk factors.

• Sequencing of 3D Organoids Derived From Colorectal Cancer Patients

  This study focuses on the whole-exome sequencing (WES) of patient-derived organoids (PDOs) established from colorectal cancer (CRC) tumors collected at Columbia University. CRC remains a major cause of cancer-related mortality due to its metastatic progression and resistance to therapy. To model CRC at the patient level, we generated 3D organoid cultures from primary and metastatic tumors, preserving their genetic and phenotypic characteristics. The study cohort consists of 9 CRC patients with microsatellite-stable adenocarcinomas from the ascending, transverse, and descending colon, as well as the rectum, with differentiation statuses ranging from well to moderate and moderate-poor. Notably, for one patient, we generated organoids from both the primary tumor and matched liver metastases, allowing for a comparative analysis of tumor evolution. PDOs were derived from these tumors and subjected to WES at early passage to profile somatic mutations, copy number variations, and other genomic alterations to identify mutational signatures. Mutations identified in the PDOs were cross-referenced and confirmed with mutational data from the Columbia Solid Tumor Panel, which was conducted on all tumor tissues prior to organoid establishment. Molecular technologies employed include next-generation sequencing (NGS) for WES, enabling high-resolution characterization of the genomic landscape of CRC PDOs. WES of PDOs allowed us to classify tumor samples based on oncogenic mutations and mutation types, with a specific focus on PIK3CA. Notably, the efficacy of PI3Kα-specific pharmacologic inhibitors in suppressing organoid growth was dependent on the mutational status of KRAS and PIK3CA, underscoring the importance of genomic context in therapeutic response. The dataset available through dbGaP includes raw WES data from CRC PDOs.
