• Methylation Biomarkers can Distinguish Pleural Mesothelioma from Healthy Pleura and other Pleural Pathologies

  Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is a rare cancer type. This study developed a methylation-based biomarker assay to distinguish PM from healthy pleura and other pleural conditions. By analyzing methylation data, 744 hypermethylated CpG sites specific to PM were identified and validated with high accuracy. Using the bisulfite-free IMPRESS technique, the assay was further validated in a diverse cohort, showing strong performance in distinguishing tumoral from non-tumoral samples and PM from pleural metastases. These findings support the assay’s potential as a robust diagnostic tool for PM.

• Somatic copy number alterations profiling in non-small cell lung cancer and their correlation with clinical efficacy in first-line treatment

  Genomic data from FFPE tumor samples of 258 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), profiled by shallow whole-genome sequencing (sWGS) at 1x. The study aimed to characterize somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) and SCNA burden to assess their clinical relevance for patient stratification across different first-line treatments.

• Genomic platform specific polygenic risk scores impact breast cancer risk stratification

  Background: At present, there is no consensus on which genotyping platform should serve as the standard for clinical polygenic risk score (PRS) implementation. Previous studies have compared the overall performance and concordance of different genotyping and sequencing technologies; however, these analyses have generally averaged the results over the whole genome. We evaluated differences in a 313-variant breast cancer PRS (PRS313) across genomic platforms and their impact on risk stratification. Methods: We compare PRS313 derived from genotyping arrays (Global Screening Array [GSA], OncoArray-500K [OncoArray], Global Diversity Array [GDA], custom Axiom_PrecipV1 array [ThermoFisher]) and low-coverage genome sequencing (lc-WGS) in 2 cell lines and 92 individuals. Probes are designed for all variants on ThermoFisher (success rate: 259/313). Sanger sequencing profiles indels. Concordance of high-risk classification (PRS313scoresum > 0.6) across platforms is assessed using Kappa statistics. Results: In saliva samples, indel concordance with Sanger sequencing varies widely (Kappa: 0.007-1.000). PRS313-ThermoFisher is predictable from other platforms using linear models, despite systematic differences. Greater agreement is observed between arrays with high imputation overlap (e.g., GDA ~ GSA slope=0.986). Agreement in high-risk classification before mean correction is moderate (Fleiss's Kappa=0.552) and improves after mean correction (Kappa=0.650). Arrays with similar designs show higher agreement before mean correction (Kappa=0.745). Mean correction narrows high-risk proportions from 4-45% to 15-21%. Overall, 26 of 92 samples are classified as high risk on at least one platform, but only 7 are high risk across all. When restricting to identical variants across all platforms for PRS313 calculation, the corresponding number of high-risk individuals are 24 and 11. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that platform-specific variability can influence PRS313 estimates to potentially reclassify individuals around clinically relevant thresholds.

• Target bisulfite sequencing of endometrial cancer

  This study aims to investigate epigenetic alterations in the HLA-A locus in endometrial cancer. Targeted bisulfite sequencing was performed to evaluate DNA methylation status of the HLA-A region in a cohort of endometrial cancer samples. The resulting data were used to assess the association between HLA-A methylation and tumor immune microenvironment. These findings contribute to understanding the role of epigenetic regulation of antigen presentation in endometrial cancer.

• Genomic subtypes and cellular phenotypes of high-grade endometrial carcinoma

  Based on the mechanism of carcinogenesis, endometrial cancer (EC) is classified into two major types, Type I and Type II. Type I EC is characterized by G1/G2 histology, accounting for about 80% of all uterine carcinomas. On the other hand, Type II EC, which often develops after menopause, is estrogen-independent and consists of serous and clear cell carcinomas. G3 EC is often classified as a Type II EC, but the pathogenesis is thought to be a mixture of estrogen-dependent and estrogen-independent carcinogenesis. We will conduct an integrative genomic analysis to clarify the pathogenesis of Type II EC and redefine its classification by combining genomic status with cell phenotypes reflected in gene expression profiles.
