Genome and transcriptome sequence data from a cerebellar glioma patient

Genome and transcriptome sequence data from a cerebellar glioma patient, generated as part of the BC Cancer Agency's Personalized OncoGenomics (POG) study

Dataset EGAD00001010982

Low Coverage Whole Genome Sequencing from high grade osteosarcoma

This dataset contains the WGS of 35 samples (high grade osteosarcoma). All cases were reviewed by an expert bone pathologist and have a tumour content of 50% minimum. Paired-end libraries from fresh frozen tumour samples were prepared using the Agilent SureSelectXT HumanV5 kit for whole-genome sequencing (WGS). These were sequenced together with a tumour complementary DNA on an Illumina HiSeq2500 (paired-end 100 bp). Sequencing reads were mapped to the GRCh37 human reference genome using HISAT2

A developmental cell atlas of the human thyroid gland - WGS

The thyroid gland produces hormones essential for health from embryogenesis to adulthood. Thyroid disorders, including congenital hypothyroidism and thyroid carcinoma, are prevalent and pose significant health challenges. Congenital hypothyroidism often results from thyroid dysgenesis or impaired hormone synthesis, is particularly prevalent in trisomy 21 (T21), while thyroid carcinoma is the most frequent endocrine malignancy, affecting both paediatric and adult populations. Understanding the molecular basis of these conditions requires deeper insights into fetal thyroid development. We generated a spatiotemporal atlas of the human thyroid during early pregnancy, revealing key cell types, including hormone-producing thyrocytes. Thyroid follicular cells are heterogeneous, with two functional cell states (fTFC1, fTFC2) that persist into adulthood, with fTFC2 characterised by elevated PAX8 expression. We demonstrated that T21 thyroids displayed dysgenesis with disrupted follicular morphology, and altered extracellular matrix interactions, and that the fTFC2 signature was enriched in paediatric papillary thyroid cancer compared to adults. These findings uncover thyrocyte heterogeneity across the lifespan, advancing understanding of thyroid development and disease.

Whole genome sequencing of retinoblastoma reveals the diversity of rearrangements disrupting RB1 and uncovers a treatment related mutational signature

Background: The development of retinoblastoma is thought to require pathological genetic changes in both alleles of the RB1 gene. However, cases exist where RB1 mutations are undetectable suggesting alternative pathways to malignancy. Methods: We applied comprehensive whole genome sequencing (WGS) and transcriptomics to sporadic retinoblastomas derived from twenty patients attending our clinic, contrasting these results to that obtained through customary clinical testing. We sought RB1 and other driver mutations, investigated mutation burden, mutational signatures and phylogenetic relatedness in one case of bilateral retinoblastoma. Results: At least one RB1 mutation was identified in all retinoblastomas. We confirmed RB1 mutations previously identified by clinical screening, identified three new RB1 mutations and provided clarity to the mechanism behind a further six mutations. Eight tumours carried structural rearrangements involving RB1 ranging from relatively simple to extremely complex rearrangement patterns, including a chromothripsis-like pattern in one tumour. Potential driver mutations included mutations in BCOR (5/20) and amplification of MYCN (2/20) and MDM4 (1/20). We show that RB1 mutations are not mutually exclusive of MYCN amplifications, and further reveal that all tumours demonstrate increased MYCN expression suggesting a universal role in retinoblastoma tumorigenesis. Bilateral tumours obtained from one patient harboured conserved germline but divergent somatic RB1 mutations, indicating independent evolution. In-keeping with previous WGS of paediatric cancers, the mutation burden in retinoblastomas was extremely low. Mutational signature analysis showed a predominance of signatures associated with cell division and an absence of ultraviolet-related DNA damage. In a tumour exposed to chemotherapy prior to enucleation, a profound platinum-related mutational signature was observed. Conclusions: WGS provides a complete picture of the genomic landscape of retinoblastomas, allowing the discovery of mutations otherwise undetected by conventional clinical screening approaches. The presence of at least one RB1 mutation in all retinoblastomas and the relative paucity of driver mutations in other genes suggests mutations beyond RB1, MYCN and BCOR are rare. Whilst most RB1 mutations are identifiable by clinical screening, the increased resolution and ability to detect otherwise elusive rearrangements of RB1 by WGS, confirming whether they are somatic or germline, has important repercussions on clinical management and advice on recurrence risks.
