• Multimodal cell-free DNA whole-genome TAPS is sensitive and reveals specific cancer signals

  This study presents a methodology for detecting circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) using deep whole-genome TET-Assisted Pyridine Borane Sequencing (TAPS), a less destructive alternative to bisulphite sequencing. The method enables simultaneous analysis of genomic and methylomic data for multi-cancer detection and monitoring minimal residual disease. In a diagnostic accuracy study across various cancer types, it achieved 85.3% sensitivity and 88.8% specificity, with validation done using matched tumour biopsies. Additionally, in silico validation showed strong discrimination at low ctDNA levels. The approach also successfully tracks tumour burden and ctDNA shedding from precancerous lesions post-treatment, making it ready for further clinical testing.

• NHLBI TOPMed: Chicago Initiative to Raise Asthma Health Equity (CHIRAH)

  The CHIRAH project was a community-based study of the factors associated with asthma morbidity in the African American population. CHIRAH evaluated the role of various variables (biologic/environmental, psychologic/behavioral, and socioeconomic) on asthma morbidity and the function of changes in these variables on asthma morbidity in a longitudinal fashion. This involved collection of a cohort-based on school screening which was sampled to include similar numbers of underprivileged and non-underprivileged subjects which roughly equally represented self-reported African Americans and self-reported non-African Americans. Subjects were followed up every 3 months of this cohort over the course of 2 years.

• Diversity of U1 small nuclear RNAs and Evaluation of Diagnostic Methods for their Mutations

  U1 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) mutations are recurrent non-coding alterations found in various malignancies, including medulloblastoma, yet their identification has proven challenging due to their repetitive nature. To establish a robust DNA-based, and RNA-based method for detecting U1 snRNA mutations, we performed targeted DNA sequencing using our original gene panel for medulloblastoma and RNA-sequencing. As an RNA-based method, we developed a random forest classifier employing splicing patterns which were massively altered as a result of U1 snRNA mutations. By using both methods, we successfully detected U1 snRNA mutation in five DNA samples and four RNA samples.

• Genetic mutation profiling of lymphomas arising in the uterine cervix and vagina

  Follicle center lymphoma (FCL) of the lower female genital tract (LFGT) is a rare lymphoma, with fewer than 20 cases reported to date. Since the genetic features of FCL of the LFGT have not been well characterized, we aimed to identify genetic alterations in this tumor through whole-exome sequencing or targeted gene panel analysis. Genomic DNA was extracted from a frozen tissue sample obtained from a surgically resected uterine cervical tumor. Whole-exome sequencing was performed using the Illumina NovaSeq X Plus platform. Library preparation was conducted with the SureSelect Human All Exon V6 kit, and sequencing was carried out with 150 bp paired-end reads.

• Whole exome sequencing of familial MDS, Two patients

  Although several causal genes of familial myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) have been identified, the genetic landscape and the molecular pathogenesis are not totally understood. To explore novel driver genes and their pathogenetic significance, we performed whole exome sequence analysis of two individuals from a familial MDS pedigree and several candidate single-nucleotide variants were identified. Knockdown screening revealed that downregulation of a candidate gene enhanced colony forming capacity of primary murine bone marrow (BM) stem/progenitor cells. Our results indicate that a familial MDS-associated germline mutation in the candidate gene induces accumulation of DNA double-strand breaks, possibly through impaired PCNA polyubiquitination.

• Genomic DNA analysis for malignant mesothelioma from the patients of Japan and USA.

  Malignant mesotheliomas (MMs) are highly aggressive adult malignancies and exposure to asbestos is the major factor involved in MM pathogenesis. It is desirable for a better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of MM will lead to more specific and effective targeted therapies. In addition it is reported that germline mutation in a specific gene (ex. BAP1) associates familial MMs, and new candidate markers to determine a subject?s predisposition to MM and for early detection need to be identified. Analysis of genomic DNA from MM tumors and reference peripheral blood from Japan and USA are ongoing to find the common genomic characters beyond race.

• Heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension - new genetic findings and environmental triggers

  Whole exome seqeuncing data were analysed for a total of 13 family members of five heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (HPAH) families to identify a disease causing variant. In a first step, variants only present in affected family members and absent in healthy relatives of the respective family were selected. Subseqeuntly, due to incomplete penetrance of genes in PAH, the analysis was extended to variants present both in affected and healthy individuals. Heterozygous variants were primarily investigated followed by homozygous, compound heterozygous, and bi-allelic variants of interest. This study led to the identification of rare deleterious variants in three out of five families.

• Genomic analysis Nasopharyngeal cancer through whole exome sequencing and whole genomic sequencing.

  Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a squamous-cell carcinoma and has remarkable ethnic and geographic distribution, with a high prevalence in southern China, southeast Asia, northern Africa and Alaska. Although there are previous studies implicated NF-κB pathway play an important role in NPC. Newer research also found several important cellular processes and pathways in NPC, including chromatin modification, ERBB-PI3K signaling and autophagy machinery. Put these studies together, although, NPC is still poorly understood at the genetic level. Here we determined the mutational landscape of 553 cases with NPC using whole-genomic and whole-exome sequencing. These approaches revealed a distinct mutational signature and significantly mutated genes.

• Volasertib preclinical activity in high-risk hepatoblastoma

  Relapsed and metastatic hepatoblastoma represents an unmet clinical need with limited chemotherapy treatment options. In a chemical screen, we identified volasertib as an agent with in vitro activity, inhibiting hepatoblastoma cell growth while sparing normal hepatocytes. Volasertib targets PLK1 and prevents the progression of mitosis, resulting in eventual cell death. PLK1 is overexpressed in hepatoblastoma biopsies relative to normal liver tissue. As a potential therapeutic strategy, we tested the combination of volasertib and the relapse-related hepatoblastoma chemotherapeutic irinotecan. We found both in vitro and in vivo efficacy of this combination, which may merit further preclinical investigation and exploration for a clinical trial concept.

• Inter and intra - tumor heterogeneity in Colorectal Cancer

  We used high depth massive parallel sequencing analyses to study 27 CRC (colorectal cancer) patients, with a total of 97 tumors (both primary and matched metastases) in addition to healthy control samples. We found inter-tumor concordance for coding mutations; in contrast, gene copy numbers were found to be highly discordant between primary tumors and metastases as validated by fluorescent in-situ hybridization. in a further step, we dissected a single tumor into 68 spatially defined samples and sequenced them separately. Here we identify evenly distributed coding mutations in APC and TP53 in all tumor areas, yet highly variable gene copy numbers in numerous genes.

• Molecular response of AML blasts to Aza-treatment.

  Azacytidine (Aza) treatment is effective in some patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Clinical observations suggest that DNMT3A-mutant patients represent a subgroup of AML patients that responds particularly well to Aza-treatment. Data coming from a mouse model support this finding and we have already generated molecular data suggesting a molecular pathway involved in Aza-response in DNMT3A-mutant AML patients. We now aim to validate these findings in primary AML-blasts. To this end, we have FACS-sorted blasts from patients with AML prior to and under Aza-treatment and plan to correlate pre-treatment as well as on-treatment methylomes to clinical Aza-response.

• Genetics and transcriptomes of pediatric B cell precursor leukemia with gain of chromosome 21

  Down syndrome (DS, constitutive trisomy 21) children have a 27-fold increased risk of developing B-ALL (DS-ALL), face a worse outcome due to treatment-related morbidities, and an increased rate of relapses compared to other children. This highlights the need to better understand the mechanisms of DS-associated leukemogenesis to develop more adapted treatment. In this study, we characterized the genetic and transcriptomic landscapes of DS-ALL and found a high incidence of somatic mutations leading to RAS/MAPK pathway activation in DS-ALL, as seen in other pediatric B-ALL presenting somatic gains of the chromosome 21 (B-ALL+21).

• Methylation-based classification of human mesenchymal chondrosarcoma

  We applied methylome and copy number profiling to a set of 45 well characterized MCS cases to evaluate their potential diagnostic value. Notably, the findings were reproducible also when analysing the round cell and cartilaginous component separately. Furthermore, four outliers were identified by methylome profiling for which the diagnosis had to be revised. Methylome profiling represents a sensitive, specific and reliable tool to support the diagnosis of MCS, particularly if only the round cell component is obtained in a biopsy and the diagnosis is not suspected. It can furthermore aid in confirming the diagnosis in case RNA sequencing for the HEY1::NCOA2 fusion transcript is not available.
