• HipSci RNA sequencing for embryonic stem cell control lines

  The HipSci project brings together diverse constituents in genomics, proteomics, cell biology and clinical genetics to create a UK national iPS cell resource and use it to carry out cellular genetic studies. In this sub-study we perform RNA sequencing on commercially available embryonic stem cell lines as control samples against which to compare HipSci's iPS cell lines.

• Single cell RNA sequencing of bone marrow mononuclear cells

  Bone marrow aspirates were obtained from patients with relapsed/refractory large B cell lymphoma (rrLBCL), mononuclear cells isolated by ficoll density-gradient centrifugation, and loaded onto a 10X Chromium for single cell RNA-sequencing using 5’ chemistry without prior cryopreservation. Healthy donor bone marrow mononuclear cells were obtained from healthy allogeneic stem cell transplant donors and analyzed following viable cryopreservation.

• Genome Sequencing of Circulating Tumor Cells for Minimally Invasive Molecular Characterization of Multiple Myeloma Pathology

  ​​Multiple Myeloma (MM) develops from well-defined precursor stages known as Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) and Smoldering MM (SMM); however, invasive bone marrow (BM) biopsy limits screening and monitoring strategies for patients. In this study, we enumerated circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from patients with precursor and overt diseases, and developed a novel approach, MinimuMM-seq, which enables detection of translocations and copy number abnormalities through whole-genome sequencing of highly pure CTCs. In a cohort of 51 patients, 24 with paired BM, we applied our method MinimuMM-seq and detected 100% of clinically reported BM biopsy events. The next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay could replace molecular cytogenetics by Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) for diagnostic yield and risk classification. In 8 patients we could apply MinimuMM-seq on serially collected samples to track and monitor major clones in peripheral blood. We describe clonal evolution and shifting dynamics of subclones over time, as well as in between blood and marrow compartments. All whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data generated in this study will be made accessible through dbGaP.

• Whole-genome and transcriptome versus panel sequencing in precision oncology: A translational-clinical comparison

  Precision oncology offers new cancer treatment options. While the use of whole-genome (WGS) and transcriptome (TS) sequencing remains often confined to specific clinical programs, molecular analysis with gene panels is more common clinical practice. Methods: Twenty patients with rare or advanced tumors sequenced by WGS/TS within the DKFZ/NCT/DKTK-MASTER program from 2015 to 2020 (MASTER 1) were additionally sequenced with the TSO500 DNA and TST170 RNA Assay by Illumina. Original Molecular Tumor Board (MTB) therapy recommendations (TR) were juxtaposed with TR from NGS panel data analysis (comparison 1). To mitigate temporal differences between the two sequencings, WGS/TS was bioinformatically reanalyzed (MASTER 2), and new TR were again compared (comparison 2). Results: In comparison 1, 47.1% of the MASTER 1’s TR and 62.8% of the panel’s TR were identical, as were 45.9% of the TR of MASTER 2 and 54.9% of the panel in comparison 2. In both MASTER 1 and MASTER 2, 26.5% and 36.1% of TR, respectively, relied on Biomarkers (BM) which were not covered by the panel. Eight of the ten MTB-derived therapy implementations were also supported in the panel, the two remaining ones being based on BM absent from the panel. Conclusions: About half of the TR in WGS/TS and panel sequencing were identical. Around a third of TR issued by WGS/TS were based on BM which are not covered by the panel, leading to therapy implementations. The presented data underscores the clinical value of comprehensive molecular analyses in individuals with advanced cancers.

• Gene-Specific RNA Sequencing in PLCG2-Associated Immune Dysregulation with Cold Urticaria

  This study utilized gene-specific RNA-sequencing of PLCG2 to screen for disease causing in-frame exon-skipping transcripts of PLCG2 in a collection of 9 subjects with cold urticaria, 2 subjects with known PLCG2-associated antibody deficiency and immune dysregulation (PLAID)-causing deletions of PLCG2 (positive controls) and 3 healthy subjects (negative controls). Full length cDNA of PLCG2 was generated using gene specific reverse transcription of peripheral blood mononuclear cell RNA. The full length PLCG2 cDNA was used as the template to create Illumina sequencing libraries. To identify the underlying genetic basis for the exon-skipping transcripts, trio-based whole genome sequencing was performed for probands in whom in-frame exon-skipping transcripts of PLCG2 were identified.

• TRACERx NSCLC, multiregion sequencing of the first 100 tumors

  BACKGROUND TRACERx (TRAcking Cancer Evolution through therapy (Rx)) is a prospective cohort study designed to investigate intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) in relation to clinical outcome, and to determine the clonal nature of driver events and evolutionary processes in early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Multiregion high-depth whole-exome sequencing (M-seq) was performed on 100 early stage NSCLC tumors resected prior to systemic therapy. A total of 327 tumor regions were sequenced and analyzed to define evolutionary histories, obtain a census of clonal and subclonal events, and assess the relationship between ITH and recurrence-free survival (RFS). RESULTS Widespread ITH was observed for both somatic copy number alterations (median 48% [0.03-88%]) and mutations (median 30% [0.5-93%]). Driver mutations in EGFR, MET, BRAF and TP53 were almost always clonal. However, heterogeneous driver alterations occurring later in evolution were found in over 75% of tumors and were common in PIK3CA, NF1 and genes involved in chromatin modification and DNA response and repair. Genome doubling and ongoing dynamic chromosomal instability (CIN), illustrated by mirrored subclonal allelic imbalance, were identified as causes of ITH resulting in parallel evolution of driver copy number events, including amplifications of CDK4, FOXA1, and BCL11A. Elevated copy number heterogeneity was associated with shorter RFS (HR=4.9, P=0.00044), which remained significant in a multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS ITH mediated through CIN, rather than point mutational heterogeneity, was associated with increased risk of relapse, supporting its value as a prognostic predictor, and the need to target this high-risk phenotype.

• Single-cell Kinnex sequencing of Alzheimer's disease isoform profile

  Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, yet its molecular causes remain incompletely understood. RNA diversity in part arising from dysregulated splicing may contribute to AD pathogenesis; however, the ability to interrogate the resulting full-length isoforms in single brain cells has been technologically limited. Here we report the use of PacBio Kinnex long-read sequencing combined with 10X Genomics single-cell preparations to identify both annotated and unannotated RNA isoforms. Eight AD and seven non-diseased post-mortem human brains yielded ~70,000 single nuclei showing diverse, differentially expressed, and switched transcripts in multiple genes. Cell-type-specific isoform expression and variants with intra-exonic junctions associated with reverse transcriptase-mediated somatic gene recombination were also detected. Novel isoforms, including CHI3L1 and SEPTIN4, were altered in AD. Kinnex sequencing of RNA isoforms from single nuclei detected vast isoform diversity amongst brain cell types, representing an under-explored element in AD and other brain disorders.

• Identification of gene mutations and fusion genes in patients with Sézary Syndrome

  Sezary syndrome (SS) is a leukemic form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) with an aggressive clinical course. The goal of our study is to understand the genetic basis of the disease by looking for driver gene mutations and fusion genes in 15 erythrodermic patients with circulating Sezary cels, fourteen of them fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of SS. Peripheral blood samples were collected for each patient and CD4+ T-lymphocytes and Granulocytes were isolated. DNA and RNA was extracted for matched normal and tumor materials. Whole exome sequencing was performed on matched normal and tumor tissues of 12 patients and RNA sequencing was performed on 10 patients. For 7 of these patients, we have both exome as well as RNA sequencing data. In this study, we present a complex genomic landscape of Sezary syndrome with several point mutations, copy number variations and fusion events which could contribute to the pathogenesis of SS.
