• A higher ctDNA fraction decreases survival in regorafenib-treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients

  The predictive effect of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment is still highly discussed. The primary objective of this study was to investigate a possible prognostic/predictive value of ctDNA under regorafenib treatment. This prospective multicenter translational biomarker phase II pilot study enrolled 30 metastatic CRC patients (67% men, 33% women) treated with regorafenib. ctDNA was assessed in plasma before treatment start and at defined time points during administration. Measurement of tumor fraction as well as mutation and copy number analysis of CRC driver genes were performed by next generation sequencing approaches. Multivariate analyses for survival and treatment efficacy were adjusted to age, gender and ECOG. Disease control rate was 30%. Median tumor fraction at baseline was 18.5% (0-49.9). Mutations in CRC driver genes or genes involved in angiogenesis were identified in 25 patients (83.3%). KRAS mutations were detected in 13 out of 14 KRAS positive tumors, in three patients without KRAS mutation in the respective tumor acquired mutations as a consequence of prior anti-EGFR treatment were detected. In a subset of patients, novel occurring mutations or focal amplifications were detected. A tumor fraction of 5% and higher at baseline was significantly associated with a decreased OS (p=0.022; HHR 3.110 (95%CI: 1.2-8.2). ctDNA is detectable in a high proportion of mCRC patients. Higher ctDNA levels are associated with survival among regorafenib treatment. Moreover, our data highlight the benefit of a combined evaluation of mutations and somatic copy number alterations (SCNA) in advanced cancer patients.

• A Machine Learning Tool Integrating Circulating Cell-Free DNA Methylation with Clinical Variables for Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Liver Graft Pathology

  Liver Transplant Recipients (LTRs) with elevated liver enzymes can develop graft injury due to various etiologies, such as T-cell mediated rejection (TCMR) and NASH (NASH-LT). While liver biopsy is the gold standard method for diagnosis of graft pathology, it is invasive and is associated with risks. The goal of our study was to develop a Machine Learning (ML) tool integrating clinical variables with methylation patterns on circulating DNA in plasma as a non-invasive diagnostic tool of graft injury. We generated methylation profiles of circulating DNA in a pilot study of 43 LTRs (11 NASH-LT, 19 TCMR, and 13 Control-LT), and developed an L2 multinomial logistic regression ML approach across 101 bootstrapped models to distinguish between the graft conditions. NASH was associated with distinctive methylation patterns on genes involved in fatty acid metabolism, while methylation of platelet-derived growth factors was identified in patients with TCMR. Our ML model achieved a mean multi-classification accuracy of 0.91, with mean specificity and sensitivity of 0.94 and 0.91, respectively. The model was found to be particularly adept at detecting TCMR and Control-LT, with true positive rates (TPRs) of 95% and 90%, and areas under the curve (AUROC) of 0.992 and 0.985, respectively. For NASH-LT, the models achieved a performance with a TPR of 82% and an AUROC of 0.991. These preliminary results suggest that our newly developed ML tool, leveraging cell-free DNA methylation and clinical variables, is a promising non-invasive classifier of graft pathology.

• A Case-Controlled Study for Genotype-Phenotype Associations in Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

  This is a multi-centre, case-controlled study to develop a dataset containing 1000 MS cases and 1000 matched controls and to associate DNA sequence (allelic) variations with MS phenotypes. Study subjects were enrolled through a prospective effort initiated in 2003. Three MS clinical centres were involved in subject recruitment and biological specimen collection using identical inclusion/exclusion criteria, two in Europe (Vrije Universiteit Medical Center, Amsterdam; and University Hospital Basel) and one in the US (University of California San Francisco). This study recruited subjects of northern-European ancestry with a diagnosis of MS (McDonald et al., 2001), with dissemination in time and space. Patients with Clinically Isolated Syndromes (CIS) were also included if they fulfilled 3 of the 4 Barkhof criteria for dissemination in space as per application of the McDonald criteria (McDonald et al., 2001). While recruitment predominantly included subjects with a relapsing onset of MS, individuals with all clinical subtypes of the disease participated, including clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), relapsing remitting MS (RRMS), secondary progressive MS (SPMS), primary progressive MS (PPMS), and progressive relapsing MS (PRMS). The control group consisted of unrelated individuals, primarily spouses/partners, friends, and other volunteers. Control subjects were of northern-European ancestry and matched as a group, proportionally with cases according to age (±5 years) and gender. A familial history or current diagnosis of MS as well as a relation to another case or control subject were considered exclusionary for this group. Protocols were approved by the Committees on Human Research at all Institutions and informed consent was obtained from all participants prior to participation in the study. Primary Study Objective:To identify DNA sequence variations (genotype) and flanking sequences that are associated with clinical factors (phenotype) which differ between study subjects with and without MS. Secondary Study Objectives: To develop a clinical dataset including quantitative measures of 1000 well-characterized cases with MS, and 1000 ethnically matched controls. To identify other genotype-phenotype associations in MS study subjects such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of disease burden and/or severity. To identify or confirm candidate surrogate markers of neurodegeneration using a variety of techniques including biochemical assays, blood transcriptome analysis, plasma proteomics and MRI*. GenotypingGenotyping of the complete dataset was performed at the Illumina facilities using the Sentrix® HumanHap550 BeadChip. *MRI results are not available on dbGaP.

• Bevacizumab plus erlotinib in advanced solid cancers with Krebs cycle gene mutations: A multicenter phase II study

  Targeting aberrant metabolism in tumors with alterations in genes encoding Krebs cycle enzymes, a central component of glucose metabolism, is a promising therapeutic strategy. These tumors rely on aerobic glycolysis and promote VEGF-dependent angiogenesis; furthermore, EGFR signaling enhances aerobic glycolysis. This phase 2 trial evaluated bevacizumab and erlotinib in patients with solid tumors harboring Krebs cycle gene mutations.

• Determining off-target effects of splice-switching antisense oligonucleotides using short read RNAseq in neuronally differentiated human induced pluripotent stem cells

  Neuronal cells derived from female healthy control hiPSC lines LUMCi003-A, LUMCi003-B and LUMCi023-A were transfected with in total four different splice-switching AONs targeting three different human transcripts. Untransfected samples as well as samples transfected with a scrambled AON were included as controls. Three days after transfection, RNA was isolated for sequencing using Illumina Novaseq6000 in order to perform differential gene expression analysis and differential splicing analysis to determine off-target effects. Sequencing was performed in two batches: one containing the samples from cell line LUMCi003-A and the other containing cell lines LUMCi003-B and LUMCi023-A.
