• Cergentis FFPE-TLC sequencing of colorectal carcinoma

  In this study, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded targeted locus capture (FFPE-TLC) sequencing is used as a novel technology for targeted detection of tumor-specific genomic structural variants (SVs) in the primary tumor of 29 colorectal cancer patients with metastatic disease. The tumor region was macrodissected and sequenced for 29 patients, and the "normal" region of the same slide was macrodissected and sequenced for 8 of these patients. SVs were found in the common fragile site (CFS)-associated genes MACROD2, PRKN, FHIT and WWOX as well as SVs caused by three LINE transposable elements. Tumor-specificity of selected SVs was independently verified by droplet digital PCR of tumor tissue DNA and their applicability as plasma circulating tumor DNA biomarkers was demonstrated. This dataset contains the hg19 reference alignment of the FFPE-TLC sequences for all 29 colorectal cancers and 8 adjacent normals.

• Acral Melanoma PDXs from the admixed Brazilian Population- Tumour RNA expression data - htseq count files

  Files containing the read counts obtained with obtained with HTSeq for all the genes in Ensembl v103 annotation for GRCh38 human reference genome. This dataset contains the files for all Tumour samples. Acral melanoma (AM) is an aggressive melanoma subtype with limited therapeutic options and poor outcomes. In non-European descent and admixed populations, like in Latin America, it can account for a significant proportion of cutaneous melanoma cases. Here, we performed comprehensive genomic and functional profiling of AM from a uniquely diverse Brazilian cohort. Whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing was performed on both tumours and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) samples. The PDX were obtained from a comprehensive collection of patient-derived xenograft (AM-PDX) models that we established which faithfully retained the histopathological and genomic features of the original tumours.

• Mutant KIT as imatinib-sensitive target in metastatic sinonasal carcinoma (H021)

  Sinonasal carcinomas (SNCs) comprise various rare tumor types that are characterized by marked histologic diversity and largely unknown molecular profiles, yet share an overall poor prognosis owing to an aggressive clinical course and frequent late-stage diagnosis. The lack of effective systemic therapies for locally advanced or metastatic SNC poses a major challenge to therapeutic decision making for individual patients. Here, we used whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing to identify a KIT exon 11 mutation (c.1733_1735del, p.578_579del) as actionable target in a patient with metastatic SNC whose tumor, despite all diagnostic efforts, could not be assigned to any known SNC category and was refractory to multimodal therapy. Molecularly guided treatment with imatinib resulted in a dramatic and durable response with remission of nearly all tumor manifestations, indicating a dominant driver function of mutant KIT in this tumor. This observation highlights the potential of unbiased genomic profiling for uncovering the vulnerabilities of individual malignancies, particularly in rare and unclassifiable tumors, and underscores that KIT exon 11 mutations represent tractable therapeutic targets across different histologies.H021

• NRG1 Fusions in KRAS Wild-type Pancreatic Cancer (H021)

  We used whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing to identify clinically actionable gene fusions in young adults with KRAS wild-type (KRASwt) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). These alterations included recurrent NRG1 rearrangements predicted to drive PDAC development through aberrant ERBB receptor-mediated signaling, and pharmacologic ERBB inhibition resulted in clinical improvement and remission of liver metastases in two patients with NRG1-rearranged tumors that had proved resistant to standard treatment. Our findings demonstrate that systematic screening of KRASwt tumors for oncogenic fusion genes will substantially improve the therapeutic prospects for a sizeable fraction of PDAC patients.

• Stratifying and Targeting Pediatric Medulloblastoma through Genomics

  In this project, genomic analyses of pediatric medulloblastoma samples, obtained through the international medulloblastoma consortium, will be performed. RNA and miRNA expression profiles of 1000 samples, representing all four subgroups (Wnt, Shh, Group C, and D), will be studied to identify novel subtypes within each subgroup. The resulting subtype-specific expression profiles will support the development of reliable and robust biomarkers to more accurately and reliably classify medulloblastomas for treatment in clinical trials. For that purpose, two assays will be developed: an antibody-based immunohistochemical assay and an orthogonal nucleic acid-based hybridization assay. Additional genomic DNA analysis of the 300 high risk subgroup cases will support the discovery of subgroup specific somatic mutations in order to inform current clinical trials of targeted therapies, and to identify genes and pathways already targeted in other diseases. Such therapies could be rapidly transitioned to Phase II trials in medulloblastoma. Furthermore, the discovery of somatic mutations could be used for developing as well as validating specific biomarkers. The project team will also try to identify risk factors that predispose children to this type of cancer.

• Ultra-deep Error-corrected Sequencing of Peripheral Blood for Clonal Hematopoiesis in Patients Undergoing AAA Surgery

  Patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery were enrolled to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of clonal hematopoiesis. Peripheral blood was collected at the time of surgical admission using PAXgene DNA tubes. Genomic DNA was extracted and subjected to ultra-deep error-corrected targeted sequencing using a custom gene panel covering recurrent clonal hematopoiesis-associated genes. Sequencing libraries were prepared following established protocols and sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq X system. The resulting dataset includes paired-end FASTQ files for each participant, enabling high-sensitivity detection of somatic variants down to low variant allele frequencies. This study provides a comprehensive sequencing resource for evaluating clonal hematopoiesis in AAA patients.

• Metastatic Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Tumor Purity Assessment from Whole Exome Sequencing Data

  As molecular medicine wields greater and greater influence on cancer patient care, including therapeutic selection, it becomes increasingly important to understand the power and deficiencies of computational tools used in decision making processes. Here we use a set of unselected metastatic colorectal tumor samples in a head-to-head comparison between the calculation of stromal content by a board certified pathologist, versus that derived from whole exome sequencing and purity assessment by a variety of common computational methods. We find that in about 1/2 of the samples the computational methods each do a poor job of assessing the percent stromal contamination, and as a result, tumor variant allele frequencies (VAFs) are low or undetected, whereas analysis of organoids derived from the same tumors yielded much higher VAFs in keeping with their lower stromal content. The whole exome sequence of our samples is available via dbGaP, accession phs003059.v1.p1.

• Human CD4+ T cells regulate peripheral immune responses in rheumatoid arthritis via IGFL2

  To elucidate the role of the immunoregulatory mechanisms of human CD4+ T cells, we analyzed CD4+ T cells in PBMC, synovium and synovial fluid using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). We identified insulin-like growth factor (IGF) like family member 2 (IGFL2), an evolutionary novel paralogous inflammatory factor found exclusively in primates. ScRNA-seq of RA synovium showed that IGFL2 is specifically expressed by CD4+ T cells, predominantly within peripheral helper T (Tph) cells, with upregulation correlating to disease severity. IGFL2 promotes TGF-��-induced CXCL13 production in CD4+ T cells. In addition, IGFL2 activates NF-��B signaling and induces monocyte gene signatures associated with pathogenic macrophages from RA synovial tissue, including CXCL10 and CXCL9. Notably, blood IGFL2 protein levels significantly correlate with RA disease severity and effectively discriminate RA patients. These findings highlight the substantial involvement of IGFL2 in RA pathogenesis, emphasizing how human CD4+ T cells exert pleiotropic regulation of local immune responses via this novel primate-specific soluble factor.

• Novel paediatric case of a spinal high-grade astrocytoma with piloid features in a patient with Noonan Syndrome

  Noonan Syndrome (NS) is associated with an increased risk of low-grade central nervous system tumours in children but only very rarely associated with high-grade gliomas. Here we describe the first reported case of a spinal high-grade astrocytoma with piloid features (HGAP) in a child with NS. This case was a diagnostic and treatment dilemma, prior to whole-genome germline and tumour sequencing, tumour transcriptome sequencing and DNA methylation analysis. The methylation profile matched strongly with HGAP and sequencing identified somatic FGFR1 and NF1 variants and a PTPN11 germline pathogenic variant. Therapeutic targets were identified but also alterations novel to HGAP such as differential expression of VEGFA and PD-L1. The germline PTPN11 finding has not been previously described in individuals with HGAP.  This case underscores the power of precision medicine from a diagnostic, therapeutic and clinical management perspective, and describes an association between HGAP and NS which has not previously been reported.

• Integrated genetic and epigenetic analysis defines novel molecular clusters in rhabdomyosarcoma

  Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood. To unravel the genetic/epigenetic basis of RMS, we studied 60 RMS cases using whole exome/transcriptome sequencing, copy number (CN) profiling, and DNA methylome analysis. Based on DNA methylation patterns, RMS was clustered into 4 distinct subtypes, which exhibited remarkable correlation with mutation/CN profiles, histological phenotypes, and clinical behaviors. A1 and A2 subtypes, especially A1, largely corresponded to alveolar histology with frequent PAX3/7 fusions and alterations in cell cycle regulators. In contrast, mostly showing embryonal histology, both E1 and E2 subtypes were characterized by high frequency of CN alterations and/or allelic imbalances, FGFR4/RAS/AKT pathway mutations and PTEN mutations/methylation and in E2, also by p53 inactivation. Despite generally poor prognosis in RMS, patients in E1 cluster exceptionally showed excellent prognosis. Our results highlight the close relationship between DNA methylation status and gene mutations and biological behavior in RMS.

• Super enhancers define regulatory subtypes and cell identity in neuroblastoma - RNA-seq

  Half of the children diagnosed with neuroblastoma have high-risk disease, disproportionately contributing to overall childhood cancer-related deaths. In addition to recurrent gene mutations, there is increasing evidence supporting the role of epigenetic deregulation in disease pathogenesis. Yet, comprehensive cis-regulatory network descriptions from neuroblastoma tissues are lacking. Here, using genome-wide H3K27ac profiles across 60 neuroblastomas, covering the different clinical and molecular subtypes, we identified four major super enhancer-driven epigenetic subtypes and their underlying master regulatory networks. Three of these subtypes recapitulated known clinical groups, namely MYCN amplified, MYCN non-amplified high-risk and MYCN non-amplified low-risk neuroblastomas. The fourth subtype, exhibiting mesenchymal characteristics, shared features with multipotent Schwann cell precursors, was induced by RAS activation and enriched in relapsed disease. Notably, CCND1, a disease essential gene, was regulated by both mesenchymal and adrenergic regulatory networks converging on distinct super-enhancer modules. Together, this reveals subtype-specific super-enhancer regulation in neuroblastoma.

• Molecular profiling of metastatic uveal melanoma

  Metastatic uveal melanoma is less well understood than its primary counterpart, has a distinct biology compared to skin melanoma and lacks effective treatments. Here we genomically profile metastatic tumors and infiltrating lymphocytes. BAP1 alterations were overrepresented and occurred in 29/32 of cases. An outlier tumor had high mutational burden associated with UV-damage. CDKN2A deletions also occurred, which are rarely present in primaries. We profiled recurrent copy number alterations associated with metastasis and performed a focused knockdown screen on overexpressed targets. We investigated the role of BAP1 by reintroducing a functional allele into a deficient patient-derived cell line, revealing a broad shift towards a transcriptomic subtype associated with better prognosis. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were in several cases tumor-reactive, but expression of the immune checkpoint receptors TIM-3, TIGIT and LAG3 was abundant. This study represents the largest whole-genome analysis of uveal melanoma to date and presents an updated view of the metastatic disease.

• Single-cell RNA-seq of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of late stage severe COVID-19 patients

  COVID-19-induced ‘acute respiratory distress syndrome’ (ARDS) is associated with prolonged respiratory failure and high mortality, but the mechanistic basis of lung injury remains incompletely understood. Here, we analyzed pulmonary immune responses and lung pathology in two cohorts of patients with COVID-19 ARDS using functional single cell genomics, immunohistology and electron microscopy. We describe an accumulation of CD163-expressing monocyte-derived macrophages, that acquired a profibrotic transcriptional phenotype during COVID-19 ARDS. Gene set enrichment and computational data integration revealed a significant similarity between COVID-19-associated macrophages and profibrotic macrophage populations identified in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. COVID-19 ARDS was associated with clinical, radiographic, histopathological, and ultrastructural hallmarks of pulmonary fibrosis. Exposure of human monocytes to SARS-CoV-2, but not Influenza A virus or viral RNA analogs, was sufficient to induce a similar profibrotic phenotype in vitro. In conclusion, we demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 triggers profibrotic macrophage responses and pronounced fibroproliferative ARDS.

• Whole genome sequencing of EBV Associated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

  Interplay between EBV infection and acquired genetic alterations during nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) development remains vague. Here we report a comprehensive genomic analysis of 70 NPCs, combining whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of microdissected tumor cells with EBV oncogene expression to reveal multiple aspects of cellular-viral co-operation in tumorigenesis. Genomic aberrations along with EBV-encoded LMP1 expression underpin constitutive NF-κB activation in 90% of NPCs. A similar spectrum of somatic aberrations and viral gene expression undermine innate immunity in 79% of cases and adaptive immunity in 47% of cases; mechanisms by which NPC may evade immune surveillance despite its pro inflammatory phenotype. Additionally, genomic changes impairing TGFBR2 promote oncogenesis and stabilize EBV infection in tumor cells. Fine-mapping of CDKN2A/CDKN2B deletion breakpoints reveals homozygous MTAP deletions in 32-34% of NPCs that confer marked sensitivity to MAT2A inhibition. Our work concludes that NPC is a homogeneously NF-κB-driven and immune-protected, yet potentially druggable, cancer.

• ESR1 mutations in tamoxifen-associated endometrial cancer versus spontaneous arisen endometrial tumors

  An increased incidence of endometrial cancer has been described for patients that have received tamoxifen to treat breast cancer. Using samples from endometrial tumors, isolated from surgivcal specimens of patients who previously received tamoxifen treatment for breast cancer, we aimed to identify whether there are specific somatic mutations enriched in this population, relative to endometrial tumors from the general population. For this, WES was performed on matched endometrial tumors and healthy tissue (n=21).
