• Gastric Cancer Genetic Analysis of Metastasis

  To identify candidate drivers involved in oncogenesis and tumor evolution, we conducted an extensive genome sequencing analysis of metastatic progression in diffuse gastric cancer. This involved a comparison between a primary tumor from a Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer Syndrome proband and its subsequent recurrence as an ovarian metastasis.

• Metaplastic breast cancer in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 and somatic loss of heterozygosity

  Targeted genetic sequencing was performed on a 41-year-old female with metaplastic breast cancer (MBC) and neurofibromatosis type I (NF1). A custom panel capturing 279 cancer related genes was used to identify a germline pathogenic SNV in NF1, as well several other somatic alterations.

• Development of Precision Neoadjuvant-Adjuvant Therapies

  In clinical trials assessing neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy plus next-generation androgen receptor axis inhibitors, a subset of patients fail to demonstrate a complete pathologic response following treatment and radical prostatectomy. We performed exome and transcriptome analyses on laser capture microdissected foci of residual tumor from these patients.

  Study phs001399

• Molecular Characterization of Clinical Renal Tumors

  We performed comprehensive molecular profiling of renal tumors, including whole exome sequencing and transcriptome sequencing, derived from patient samples. This project additionally explores mechanisms of response and resistance to existing and emerging therapies in this disease, as well as mechanisms of tumor evolution in the context of treatment.

• Familial Exome Sequencing in Rare Pediatric Phenotypes

  To discover novel candidate genes associated with rare Mendelian phenotypes, we will conduct individual genomic and phenotypic characterization using genome-wide array, pedigree exome sequencing, candidate genotyping, and pertinent clinical testing to define phenotype. Pedigrees included in this submission will have a variety of clinical pathological phenotypes.

• Human Responses to Influenza Vaccination

  The data consist of the DNA sequences of antibody gene rearrangements from peripheral blood human B cells of subjects vaccinated with trivalent seasonal influenza or monovalent pandemic H1N1 vaccine. Multiple replicate libraries of immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangements were prepared from each subject for each time point.

• Genetics of Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy

  This grant proposal continues to expand our understanding of the clinical presentation of Fuchs corneal dystrophy, and its underlying genetic basis, which will lead to the development of better therapeutic models and treatment for a common corneal dystrophy that affects 4% of the US population over age 40.

• Role of Genetic Factors in the Pathogenesis of Lung Disease

  Three individuals with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) underwent evaluation for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)-associated mucocutaneous and internal findings. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of cutaneous findings was used to confirm clinical suspicion for mosaic TSC in individuals with LAM. Mosaic mutations in TSC2 were found in these three individuals.

• RNAseq of Sjögren's Syndrome and Healthy Volunteers' Salivary Glands

  Mechanistic genetic and inflammatory endpoints were studied to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms of Sjögren's syndrome. Transcriptomic studies allowed the exploration of molecular alterations that might cause or influence the studied salivary gland pathology and potentially elucidate druggable pathways for intervention.

• Refractory Cancer (RC) Program

  The Refractory Cancer (RC) Program will investigate the underlying genomic hallmarks involved in the observed inferior response to treatment of certain tumor types. Comprehensive genomic characterization will be performed utilizing the NCI CCG Genome Characterization Pipeline. Subsequent genomic data will be hosted at the NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) (https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/).
