• Adenoma development in familial adenomatous polyposis and MUTYH‐associated polyposis: somatic landscape and driver genes

  Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and MUTYH‐associated polyposis (MAP) are inherited disorders associated with multiple colorectal adenomas that lead to a very high risk of colorectal cancer. The somatic mutations that drive adenoma development in these conditions have not been investigated comprehensively. In this study we performed analysis of paired colorectal adenoma and normal tissue DNA from individuals with FAP or MAP, sequencing 14 adenoma whole exomes (eight MAP, six FAP), 55 adenoma targeted exomes (33 MAP, 22 FAP) and germline DNA from each patient.

• Integrated genomic analyses reveal molecular correlates of clinical response and resistance to atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma

  Atezolizumab (anti–programmed death-ligand 1 [anti-PD-L1]) and bevacizumab (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor [anti-VEGF]) combination therapy has become the new standard of care in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. However, potential predictive biomarkers and mechanisms of response and resistance remain less understood. We report integrated molecular analyses of tumor samples from 358 patients enrolled in the GO30140 phase 1b or IMbrave150 phase 3 trials who were treated with atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab, atezolizumab alone, or sorafenib. Pre-existing immunity assessed by high expression of CD274 (PD-L1 mRNA), T-effector signature, and intratumoral CD8+ T cell density were associated with response and better clinical outcomes with the combination treatment. Less clinical benefit was associated with high regulatory T cell (Treg) to effector T-cell ratio and high expression of oncofetal genes such as GPC3 and AFP. Improved outcomes from the combination vs atezolizumab alone appeared to be associated with high expression of KDR (VEGFR2), Treg, and myeloid inflammation signatures, indicating anti-VEGF may contribute by targeting these axes. These findings were further validated by transcriptome analysis of paired pre- and post-treatment biopsies, in situ analysis by multiplex IHC and digital pathology, and in vivo study of an immunogenic hepatocellular carcinoma mouse model. Our findings highlight that anti-VEGF therapy might augment antitumor immunity and enhance anti–PD-L1 immunotherapy by targeting VEGF-mediated angiogenesis, Treg proliferation, and myeloid cell inflammation. Furthermore, our study identified candidate biomarkers for predicting response and resistance to anti–PD-L1 and anti-VEGF combination therapy.

• Integrative molecular analysis of pediatric Anaplastic large cell lymphoma reveals subtypes with distinct immune suppression signatures.

  Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a peripheral T-cell lymphoma accounting for 10–15% of all childhood lymphomas. While more than 90% of the ALCL cases contain ALK-rearrangement, these tumors possess significant inter-tumor molecular heterogeneity that contributes to distinct morphologic differences and clinical impact. To gain insight into the molecular heterogeneity within ALK+ ALCL, we performed whole-exome sequencing, RNA-sequencing, and methylome analysis of 42 primary pediatric ALK+ ALCL patients. Our data showed that ALK+ALCLs was subclassified into two subtypes based on ALK gene expression, methylation profiles, and somatic mutation patterns. ALK-low samples had more highly methylated gene regions while enriched with immune infiltration. ALK-high samples were enriched with somatic copy number alteration and high expression of MYC and PD-L1. These data indicate that ALK expression, somatic mutations, and aneuploidy status are negatively associated with immune infiltration, stipulating that ALK expression status might be associated with resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors.

• Recurrent COPA mutation drives R-spondin-independent Wnt activation in intestinal tumors

  The majority of intestinal tumors harbor mutations in canonical Wnt pathway genes such as APC, whereas the lack of such alterations in a subset of tumors implies alternative tumorigenic routes. Here, we identify recurrent in-frame deletion in COPA, frequently co-occurring with USP9X truncating mutation, in small intestinal adenoma and adenocarcinoma. Patient-derived and CRISPR-engineered small intestinal organoids carrying COPA in-frame deletions exhibit R-spondin-independent yet Wnt ligand-dependent growth, maintaining LGR5 expression without canonical Wnt drivers. Mechanistically, COPA mutation stabilizes frizzled co-receptor LRP6 irrespective of R-spondin, sustaining Wnt pathway activation under growth factor-restricted conditions. USP9X loss further potentiates this phenotype. Unlike canonical Wnt pathway members, COPA encodes the alpha-subunit of coatomer complex I, which engages in vesicle trafficking with little prior linkage to intestinal tumorigenesis. Our findings establish COPA mutation as a novel and atypical intestinal tumor driver and implicate USP9X loss as a cooperating lesion.

• Ancestry and somatic profile predict acral melanoma origin and prognosis – WXS

  Acral melanoma, which is not ultraviolet (UV)-associated, is the most common type of melanoma in several low- and middle-income countries including Mexico. Latin American samples are significantly underrepresented in global cancer genomics studies, which directly affects patients in these regions as it is known that cancer risk and incidence may be influenced by ancestry and environmental exposures. To address this, we characterise the genome and transcriptome of 123 acral melanoma tumours from 92 Mexican patients, a population notable because of its genetic admixture. Compared with other studies of melanoma, we found fewer frequent mutations in classical driver genes such as BRAF, NRAS or NF1. While most patients had predominantly Amerindian genetic ancestry, those with higher European ancestry had increased frequency of BRAF mutations and a lower median number of structural variants. The tumours with activating BRAF mutations have a transcriptional profile more similar to cutaneous non-volar melanocytes, suggesting that acral melanomas in these patients may arise from a distinct cell of origin compared to other tumours arising in these locations. KIT mutations were found in a subset of these tumours, and quadruple wild-type samples (non BRAF/NRAS/NF1/KIT) differed from mutated samples in their structural genomic profile and overall and recurrence-free survival patterns. Transcriptional profiling defined three expression clusters; these characteristics were associated with recurrence-free and overall survival. We highlight potential novel low-frequency drivers, such as PTPRJ, NF2 and RDH5. Our study enhances knowledge of this understudied disease and underscores the importance of including samples from diverse ancestries in cancer genomics studies.

• Whole-genome sequencing in 14 cases and whole-exome sequencing in 90 cases of Chinese ESCC

  Esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers and the sixth leading cause of cancer death worldwide1. Approximately 70% of the global esophageal cancers occur in China and over 90% histopathological forms of this disease are esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)2-3. Currently, there are limited clinical approaches for early diagnosis and treatment for ESCC, resulting in a 10% 5-year survival rate for the patients. Meanwhile, the full repertoire of genomic events leading to the pathogenesis of ESCC remains unclear. Here we show a comprehensive genomic analysis in 158 ESCC cases, as part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) Research Projects (http://icgc.org/icgc/cgp/72/371/1001734). We conducted whole-genome sequencing in 14 ESCC cases and whole-exome sequencing in 90 cases.
