• Rare germline variants in patients with personal and family history of colorectal cancer

  A double primary colorectal cancer (CRC) in a familial setting signals a high risk of CRC. In order to find novel high/moderate penetrance CRC susceptibility genes, we performed whole-exome sequencing on germline blood samples of seven familial cases from Poland with a double primary CRC.

• Expression quantitative trait loci influence DNA damage-induced apoptosis in cancer

  Dataset with eQTL and e2QTL metadata. The analyses were performed using CD8+ T cells from 461 healthy European participants stimulated with high doses of 5 different carcinogens to induce early apoptosis. These include Methyl-methanesulfonate (MMS), tert-butyl-hydroperoxide (TBOOH), benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE), 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide (HC) and UVC radiation.

• WES data from primary CRCs tissues in ctDNA positive patients

  Whole exome data from primary colorectal cancer tissue samples were analysed in patients where mutations where found in circulating tumour DNA. DNA was extracted from FFPE blocks and exome libraries were prepared using the KAPA HyperPlus Kit (Roche diagnostics)

• WES data from primary CRC

  Whole exome sequencing from ffpe samples DNA was extracted from FFPE tissue samples from colorectal cancer biopsies. Exome libraries where prepared using the KAPA Hyper Plus Kit (Roche Diagnostics) followed by target enrichment by hybridisation capture using the Roche Hyper Exome Kit. Sequenced on NovaSeq6000 to generated 2x 151 paired-end reads.

  Dataset EGAD50000000781

• SMPaeds PanelSeq of tumour tissue

  Deep sequencing of a targeted panel of 92 paediatric cancer related genes or 233 pan-cancer related genes for both relapse/archival disgnostic tumour tissue and germline DNA from whole blood cell pellet. Tumour tissue was sequenced to approximately 400X coverage and germline DNA was sequences to aproximately 100X coverage.

• Transplant Outcomes in Aplastic Anemia (TOAA): GWAS and Whole Exome Sequence Data

  The TOAA study is a research collaboration between the National Cancer Institute and the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. The study aims to identify molecular predictors of outcomes after hematopoietic cell transplant in patients with severe aplastic anemia.

• Single-cell RNA sequencing of human skin tumors (BCC, SCC and Melanoma)

  Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a key role in cancer progression and treatment outcome. Here, we elucidate the yet unresolved intra-tumoral CAF variety in three skin cancer types at molecular and spatial single-cell resolution in a large cohort. We show that two out of three CAF subtypes contribute to tumor immune surveillance with distinct mechanisms. Matrix CAFs (mCAFs) ensheath tumor nests and synthesize extracellular-matrix to prevent T cell invasion. Immunomodulatory CAFs (iCAFs), which express proinflammatory and immunomodulatory factors, are only detected in high abundance in aggressive tumors. Strikingly, iCAFs but not tumor cells are (apart from immune cells) the exclusive cell type producing chemokines and, thus, play a key role in immune cell recruitment and activation. Mechanistically, we show that cancer cells transform adjacent healthy fibroblasts into cytokine-expressing iCAFs, which subsequently recruit immune cells and modulate the immune response. In conclusion, targeting CAF variants holds promise for improved efficacy of immunotherapy.

• Base-excision repair pathway shapes 5-methylcytosine deamination signatures in pan-cancer genomes

  Transition of cytosine to thymine in CpG dinucleotides is the most frequent type of mutation in cancer. This increased mutability is commonly attributed to spontaneous deamination of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), which is normally repaired by the base-excision repair (BER) pathway. However, the contribution of 5mC deamination in the increasing diversity of cancer mutational signatures remains poorly explored. Here, we integrate mutational signatures analysis in a large series of tumor whole genomes with lineage-specific epigenomic data to draw a detailed view on 5mC deamination in cancer. We uncover tumor type-specific patterns of 5mC deamination signatures in CpG and non-CpG contexts. We demonstrate that the BER glycosylase MBD4 preferentially binds to open chromatin domains, which correlates with lower mutational burden in these domains. We validate our findings by modelling BER deficiencies in isogenic cell models. Overall, we establish MBD4 as the main actor responsible for 5mC deamination repair in humans.
