• CML_blast_phase_rearrangement_screen

  Genomic libraries (500 bps) will be generated from total genomic DNA derived from 10 Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in blast phase samples and subjected to a total of two lanes of 50 bp, paired end sequencing on the llumina HiSeq. Paired reads will be mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the generation of genome wide copy number information, and the identification of novel rearranged cancer genes and gene fusions

• SCAT_osteosarcoma_sequencing

  Agilent whole exome hybridisation capture will be performed on genomic DNA derived from 50 osteosarcoma cancers and matched normal DNA from the same patients. Three lanes of Illumina GA sequencing will be performed on the resulting 100 exome libraries and mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the identification of novel cancer genes

• RNASeq of PDX and CDX tumours treated with ADC

  Enapotamab vedotin (EnaV), an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting AXL, effectively targets tumors that display insensitivity to immunotherapy and/or tumor-specific T cells in several melanoma and lung cancer models. Mechanistically, EnaV treatment induced an inflammatory response and immunogenic cell death in tumor cells, and promoted induction of a memory-like phenotype in cytotoxic T cells. Combining EnaV with tumor-specific T cells proved superior to any treatment alone in models of melanoma and lung cancer, and increased ICB benefit in models otherwise insensitive to anti-PD-1 treatment.

• Mutations conferring differential treatment response in breast cancer

  Poor prognosis primary breast cancer patients usually receive cytotoxic chemotherapy as a component of treatment, but despite this aggressive therapy recurrences remain common. Improved understanding of chemoresistance pathways would allow better stratification of chemotherapy using predictive markers, and may allow therapeutic inhibition of resistance mechanisms in order to chemosensitise tumours. We aimed to identify molecular pathways that define chemoresponse using the novel approach of examining the selection exerted by neoadjuvant chemotherapy on sub-clonal somatic mutational profiles of cancer cells.

• Whole genome, transcriptome and methylome profiling enhances actionable target discovery in high-risk paediatric cancer

  Zero Childhood Cancer is a precision medicine program to benefit children with poor-outcome, rare, relapsed or refractory cancer. Utilising tumour and germline whole genome sequencing (WGS) and RNA sequencing (RNAseq) across 252 tumours from high-risk paediatric cancer patients, we identified 968 reportable molecular aberrations (39.9% in WGS and RNAseq, 35.1% WGS-only, 25.0% RNAseq-only). 93.7% of patients had at least one germline or somatic aberration, 71.4% had therapeutic targets and 5.2% had a change in diagnosis. WGS identified pathogenic cancer-predisposing variants in 16.2% of patients. In 76 CNS tumours, methylome analysis confirmed diagnosis in 71.1% and contributed to a change of diagnosis in two cases (2.6%). To date 43 patients have received a recommended therapy, 38 of whom could be evaluated. A small but encouraging proportion of 31% showed some evidence of clinical benefit. Comprehensive molecular profiling resolved the molecular basis of virtually all high-risk cancers, which in some cases has significant clinical impact.

• Non_Tumour_Renal_Cell_Line_Sequencing

  Genomic libraries (500 bps) will be generated from total genomic DNA derived from commomon epithelial cancer samples and subjected to total of eight lanes of 37 bp, paired end sequencing on the llumina GA. Paired reads will be mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the generation of genome wide copy number information, and the identification of novel rearranged cancer genes and gene fusions.

  Testing library production.Genomic libraries (500 bps) will be generated from total genomic DNA derived from commomon epithelial cancer samples and subjected to paired end sequencing on the llumina plateforms. Paired reads will be mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the generation of genome wide copy number information, and the identification of novel rearranged cancer genes and gene fusions.

• Test_of_PCR_library_method_on_whole_genmoe_samples

  We will sequence 2 whole genome pairs which have had the libraries prepared with a PCR step. The resulting sequence will be compared to teh same samples which have had sequence obtain using a no_PCR library method. the sequence obtained in this experiment may or may not be used in conjunction with the other sequence obtain for these samples in the search for novel cancer mutations.

• Whole exome sequencing on primary retinoblastoma tissues and matching lymphocyte DNA.

  Retinoblastoma is a rare childhood cancer initiated by RB1 mutation or MYCN amplification, while additional alterations may be required for tumor development. However, the view on single nucleotide variants is very limited. To better understand oncogenesis, we determined the genomic landscape of retinoblastoma. We performed exome sequencing of 71 retinoblastomas and matched blood DNA. Next, we determined the presence of single nucleotide variants, copy number alterations and viruses. Aside from RB1, recurrent gene mutations were very rare. Only a limited fraction of tumors showed BCOR (7/71, 10%) or CREBBP alterations (3/71, 4%). No evidence was found for the presence of viruses. Instead, specific somatic copy number alterations were more common, particularly in patients diagnosed at later age. Recurrent alterations of chromosomal arms often involved less than one copy, also in highly pure tumor samples, suggesting within-tumor heterogeneity. Our results show that retinoblastoma is among the least mutated cancers and signify the extreme sensitivity of the childhood retina for RB1 loss. We hypothesize that retinoblastomas arising later in retinal development benefit more from subclonal secondary alterations and therefore, these alterations are more selected for in these tumors. Targeted therapy based on these subclonal events might be insufficient for complete tumor control.
