• Somatic inflammatory gene mutations accumulate in human ulcerative colitis epithelium

  We performed whole exome sequencing and targeted sequencing of ulcerative colitis with/without colitis associated neoplasm and healthy indivisuals. The aim of this study was to calculate the influence of inflammation and age on a count of genetic mutations in colonic epithelium, and to identify the specific signal pathways on which the significant genetic mutations accumulating in ulcerative colitis patients' colonic epithelium.

• Genome sequence comparison of human iPS cell lines

  We performed whole genome sequencing analysis on human iPSC lines to understand the impact of genetic variations on clonal epigenetic variations.

• Clonal structure and oncogenic potential of liver cirrhosis tissues.

  Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrently develops in cirrhotic liver composed of numbers of regenerative nodules (RNs). The biologic or genetic basis of RNs for hepatocarcinogenesis remains unclear at present. Thus, to uncover the basis of cirrhotic liver for multicentric tumorigenesis, we investigated the oncogenic potential of RNs in LC tissues using multi-omics analysis.

• Elucidation of molecular mechanism of NAFLD-HCC

  We analysed the somatic mutation profile of 69 genes with recurrent genetic alterations reported in HCC using surgically-resected tumor tissues of non-viral HCC patients.

• Whole genome sequence: cardiomyopathy, 1 myotonic dystrophy patient

  In this study, we analyzed the genomic information by whole genome sequencing using peripheral blood samples from patients with various cardiovascular diseases including severe heart failure to identify genetic variants related to the pathology of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose is to elucidate the underlying mechanism and develop new therapeutic interventions for cardiovascular disease.

• Impact of germline pathogenic variants in 27 cancer-predisposing genes on the risk of lymphoma

  The application of advanced molecular technology has significantly expanded lymphoma classification, allowing risk stratification and treatment optimization. Limited evidence suggests the presence of a genetic predisposition in lymphoma, indicating the potential for better individualized clinical management based on a novel lymphoma classification. Herein, we examined the impact of germline pathogenic variants in 27 cancer-predisposing genes with lymphoma risk and explored the clinical characteristics of pathogenic variant carriers. This study included 2,066 lymphoma patients and 38,153 cancer-free controls from the Japanese population. Following quality control of sequencing data, samples from 1,982 lymphoma patients and 37,592 controls were further analyzed. Sequencing data of controls were obtained from JGAD000721. Germline pathogenic variants in some cancer-predisposing genes were associated with a high risk of lymphoma. Furthermore, germline pathogenic variants in these genes were especially associated with the higher risk of a certain subtype. These results would provide novel insights concerning monogenic form into lymphoma classification. Some lymphoma patients may benefit from surveillance and targeted treatment like other neoplasms.

• Whole-genome-sequencing and Whole-exome-sequencing in Myopathy

  To identify the genetic cause and modifiers of Myopathy, we performed Whole-genome-sequencing and Whole-exome-sequencing of Myopathy patients.

• Comprehensive genetic analysis of pediatric germ cell tumors

  Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are relatively rare tumors in children. Previous studies showed that adult testicular GCTs had some genomic alterations, but genetic basis of pediatric GCTs is still to be elucidated. We applied DNA methylation array analysis, whole-transcriptome sequencing, targeted capture sequencing, and SNP array analysis to fifty-one GCT samples.

• Development of cell lines and mouse models of bone and soft tissue sarcoma to establish novel treatment

  Malignant giant-cell tumors are extremely rare bone sarcomas that transform from conventional giant-cell tumors during long periods of treatment. We have applied the culture methods and succeeded in establishing patient-derived organoids (PDO) of rare sarcomas. This study aimed to investigate the genomic characteristics of our established novel organoids from human malignant giant-cell tumors. The developed tumors with xenograft were genomically analyzed to compare their characteristics with those of the original tumors. Genetic changes over time throughout treatment were analyzed, and the genomic status of the established organoid was confirmed. Next generation sequencing revealed that the established organoids lacked the H3-3A G34W mutation. The xenografted organoids of the malignant giant-cell tumor had phenotypes genetically similar to those of the original tumor. The established organoids were confirmed to be derived from human malignant giant-cell tumors. In summary, the present study demonstrated a novel organoid model of a malignant giant-cell tumor that was genetically confirmed to be a malignant transformed tumor. Our organoid model could be used to elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of a malignant giant-cell tumor and develop novel treatment modalities.

• Research for candidate genes of splenic epidermoid cyst

  Splenic epidermoid cyst is a very rare benign tumor-like lesion filled with fluid or semi-fluid material. It occurs mostly in 2nd or 3rd decades of life with some female dominance. Most cases are asymptomatic and the clinical symptoms are dependent on the size of the cyst. Exome re-sequencing is an efficient strategy to selectively sequence the protein-coding regions of the genome, and has increasingly been used to identify novel genetic variants underlying Mendelian diseases. In this study, exome re-sequencing of 8 Japanese patients with splenic epidermoid cyst were conducted.
