• Somatic mutations and clonal dynamics in healthy and cirrhotic human liver

  Chronic liver injury predisposes to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, but how somatic mutations accumulate in liver disease is unexplored. We sequenced whole genomes of 400 microdissections of 100-500 hepatocytes from 5 normal and 6 cirrhotic livers. Compared to normal liver, cirrhotic liver had higher mutation burden, especially structural variants, including chromothripsis. Cirrhotic nodules were oligoclonal; sometimes entirely derived from a single, recent common ancestor. Clonal expansions millimeters in diameter occurred in cirrhosis in the absence of known driver mutations. Endogenous mutational processes predominated, although signatures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and aristolochic acid exposure occurred in some samples. Up to 10-fold within-patient variation in activity of exogenous signatures existed between adjacent cirrhotic nodules, with both clone-specific and microenvironmental forces shaping this heterogeneity. Synchronous hepatocellular carcinomas drew from the same repertoire of mutational signatures as background cirrhotic liver, but with higher burden. Somatic mutations chronicle the exposures, toxicity, regeneration and clonal structure of liver tissue as it progresses from health to disease.

• Alcohol Dependence: Sequencing from Multiplex Families

  Two multiplex for alcohol dependence family studies were initiated based on the gender of a pair of probands. Ascertainment of a pair of AD probands was used to increase the density of alcohol dependence within the family. Identification of male (Cognitive and Personality Factors in Relatives of Alcoholics Family Study) and female (Biological Risk Factors in Female Alcoholics Family Study) alcohol dependent probands was accomplished by identifying an alcohol dependent proband while in treatment in a substance abuse treatment facility in Pittsburgh and surrounding communities who provided contact information for a sibling whom he/she thought might be interested in participating. The studies had identical ascertainment requirements. DNA was banked for all willing participants.

• Immune Profiles Study

  This study assesses glioma patient blood methylation longitudinally beginning pre-surgery through other clinically important timepoints. Progression and survival are studied in relation to methylation derived immunologic profiles and other characteristics. For this study, patients scheduled for surgery at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) for a possible newly diagnosed glioma (grades 2-4) or recurrent grade 2/3 glioma were consented and enrolled. Patients had blood collected pre-surgery and, if the pathology results confirm a glioma, every few weeks or months during their treatment (up to 30 total timepoints). Blood immunomethylomic profiles were measured at these timepoints to assess associations with glioma patient outcomes, clinical measures, other known prognostic markers, and imaging characteristics.

• Development and Validation of Patient-Derived Xenografts from Fibrolamellar Carcinoma Human Tissue

  We developed and validated Patient-Derived Xenografts (PDX) of Fibrolamellar Carcinoma human tissue from surgical resections. Human tissues from primary liver tumor, recurrent liver, and liver metastases were implanted into NOD-SCID-Gamma (NSG) mice (Jackson laboratories) and monitored for tumor growth. Some of the original tissues were frozen for further analysis including RNA sequencing. Tumors that grew were then harvested and passaged into additional mice. Some tumor tissues from the PDX samples were frozen for RNA-Seq analysis. The PDX was validated by histologic, transcriptomic and proteomic analysis. The RNA-Seq analysis was performed on original tissue samples including primary liver tumor, recurrent liver, liver metastases, normal liver, and the derived PDX.

• Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) Imputation Reference Dataset

  We have built a new resource for imputation of SNPs for existing and future genome-wide association studies (GWAS), known as the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) Reference Set. The first build of the data set includes 728 cancer-free individuals of European descent from three large prospectively sampled studies, 98 African-American individuals from the Prostate, Lung, Colon, and Ovary Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO), 74 Chinese individuals from a Chinese clinical trial in Shanxi, China (SHNX), and 349 unrelated individuals from the HapMap Project (see Molecular Data Section for details on arrays used). The final harmonized dataset includes 2.8 million autosomal polymorphic SNPs on 1,249 subjects after rigorous quality control metrics were applied.

• Sequencing data of tumor tissue obtained from GANNET53 study patients

  The GANNET53 clinical trial evaulated novel treatment options for ovarian cancer patients with platinum-resistant relapse. Archival fresh-frozen paraffin embedded tissue was available from 131 of the 133 enrolled patients. NGS sequencing aimed at assessing the mutational spectrum of key ovarian cancer genes (with a focus on TP53), and their relevance for therapy resistance. From available FFPE samples, DNA was extracted and NGS sequenced using the SureSeq™ Ovarian Cancer Panel and the NGS Library Preparation kit covering all exons of 7 key ovarian cancer genes BRCA1, BRCA2,TP53, PTEN, ATM, ATR, NF1 for single nucleotide variants (SNV) and indels. Finally, sequence data from 118 individual FFPE tumor tissue samples were generated.

• MYOSEQ project

  The MYOSEQ project focuses on the application of next generation sequencing, in particular whole exome sequencing (WES), in a large cohort of patients with unexplained limb‐girdle weakness (LGW). Focusing on undiagnosed patients with a clearly defined clinical phenotype enables increased diagnostic rates for known genes (in particular Pompe disease, GNE related pathologies and other known LGMD subtypes) in this cohort, while the use of WES provides scope both for new gene discovery and for additional research into disease modifiers and genotype‐phenotype correlation with substantial cost effectiveness. The LGW patient cohort was collated by Newcastle University in collaboration with clinical centers across Europe. The sequencing was performed at the Broad Institute and jointly analyzed with Newcastle University.

• Identification of four new susceptibility loci for testicular germ cell tumour, including variants near GAB2, GSPT1 and ZFPM1

  Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple risk loci for testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT), revealing a polygenic model of disease susceptibility strongly influenced by common variation. To identify further SNPs associated with TGCT we conducted a multistage GWAS with a combined dataset of >25,000 individuals (6,059 cases and 19,094 controls). We identified new risk loci for TGCT at 3q23 (rs11705932, TFDP2, P = 1.5 x 10-9), 11q14.1 (rs7107174, GAB2, P = 9.7 x 10-11), 16p13.13 (rs4561483, GSPT1, P = 1.6 x 10-8) and 16q24.2 (rs55637647, ZFPM1, P = 3.4 x 10-9). We additionally present detailed functional analysis of these loci, identifying a statistically significant relationship between rs4561483 risk genotype and increased GSPT1 expression in TGCT patient samples. These findings provide additional support for a polygenic model of TGCT risk and further insight into the biological basis of disease development.

• Ultra-Low-Pass Whole Genome Sequencing of Cell-Free DNA for Large B-Cell Lymphoma

  While deep targeted DNA sequencing of liquid biopsies has shown prognostic utility in large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), the routine clinical adoption of these assays remains limited due to their high costs. Here, leveraging a well-annotated cohort of encompassing both frontline and relapsed/refractory (R/R) LBCL, we profiled patient plasma samples with two complementary modalities – ultra-low-pass whole genome sequencing (ulpWGS) and deep targeted DNA sequencing, the former being a cost-effective method to profile large scale chromosomal abnormalities and estimate tumor burden. Our findings revealed a strong association of high cell-free tumor burden by both genomic profiling modalities with established measures of tumor burden and patient survival. Notably, the associations with survival remained statistically significant after accounting for international prognostic index scoring. Furthermore, we showed that del(17p) in circulating tumor DNA as detected by ulpWGS was strongly associated with TP53 mutation status and predicted for significantly inferior patient outcome in frontline but not R/R LBCL patients. Our study demonstrates that ulpWGS can provide robust prognostic biomarkers for both frontline and R/R LBCL, highlighting its broad applicability for risk stratification.

• Low-coverage whole genome sequencing for a highly selective cohort of severe COVID-19 patients

  Background Despite advances in identification of genetic markers associated to severe COVID-19, the full genetic characterisation of the disease remains elusive. Imputation of low-coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS) has emerged as a competitive method to study such disease-related genetic markers as they enable genotyping of most common genetic variants used for genome wide association studies. This study aims at exploring the potential use of imputation in lcWGS for a highly selected severe COVID-19 patient cohort. Findings We generated an imputed dataset of 79 variant call format (VCF) patient files using the GLIMPSE1 tool, each containing, on average, 9.5 million single nucleotide variants. The validation assessment of imputation accuracy yielded a squared Pearson correlation of approximately 0.97 across sequencing platforms, showing that GLIMPSE1 can be used to confidently impute variants with minor allele frequency up to approximately 2% in Spanish ancestry individuals. We conducted a comprehensive analysis on the patient cohort, examining hospitalisation and intensive care utilisation, sex and age-based differences, and clinical phenotypes using a standardised set of medical terms specifically developed to characterise severe COVID-19 symptoms for this cohort. Conclusion This dataset highlights the utility and accuracy of lcWGS imputation in the study of COVID-19 severity, setting a precedent for other applications in resource-constrained environments. The methods and findings presented here may be leveraged in future genomic projects, providing vital insights for health challenges like COVID-19.
