• RNA-sequencing of six Pilocytic astrocytoma tumors

  Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) is the most common pediatric brain tumor. A recurrent feature of PA is deregulation of the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway most often through KIAA1549-BRAF fusion, but also by other BRAF- or RAF1-gene fusions and point mutations (e.g. BRAFV600E). These features may serve as diagnostic and prognostic markers, and also facilitate development of targeted therapy. The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic alterations underlying the development of PA tumor in six cases, and evaluate methods for fusion oncogene detection. Using a combined analysis of RNA sequencing and copy number variation data we identified a new BRAF fusion involving the 5’ gene fusion partner GTF2I (7q11.23), not previously described in PA. The novel GTF2I-BRAF 19-10 fusion was found in one case, while the other five cases harbored the frequent KIAA1549-BRAF 16-9 fusion gene. Comparing fusion detection methods, Fluorescence in situ hybridization with BRAF break apart probe was the most sensitive method for detection of the two different BRAF rearrangements (GTF2I-BRAF and KIAA1549-BRAF). Our finding of a novel BRAF fusion in PA further emphasis the important role of B-Raf in tumorigenesis of these tumor types. Also, the growing list of BRAF/RAF gene fusions suggests these to be informative tumor markers in molecular diagnostics, which could guide future treatment strategies.

• Genetic Susceptibility and Biomarkers of Platinum-Related Toxicities

  The Platinum Study is an R01-funded, multicenter study of testicular cancer survivors that characterizes both long-term cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (CisIPN) and cisplatin-associated ototoxicity, i.e., permanent, bilateral hearing loss. We collected data abstracted from medical records (e.g., cumulative cisplatin dose), conducted audiometric examinations, and administered self-report questionnaires, which included CisIPN symptoms.

• Targeted Illumina sequencing of 3399 plasma cfDNA samples and 1988 leukocyte DNA samples from 1995 metastatic prostate cancer patients

  Blood samples were collected from eight clinical trials and a British Columbia-based biobank. All plasma cfDNA and leukocyte DNA samples were processed with uniform methodology, and underwent targeted sequencing using a custom hybridization capture panel and Illumina instruments. Four different generations of custom hybridization capture panel were used, all providing coverage of the complete coding regions of 72 prostate cancer genes, and later panel generations also providing exhaustive coverage of the AR locus (including introns and flanking regulatory regions), as well as a genome-wide SNP grid for copy number analysis.

• Dataset of 2485 CD8 T cells from non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients in context of BCG treatment

  FASTQ files from scRNAseq (smartseq2 protocol) from 2485 CD8 T cells from 4 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients who received BCG treatment (induction treatment of 6 weekly instillations). Concerning the 'phenotype' column in metadata : pre-treatment samples include tumor samples ('Tumor') and normal adjacent bladder tissue ('Extratumor'). For post-treatment samples : no residual tumor was found in the bladder of the 4 patients after the BCG treatment . The post-treatment samples with 'Tumor' as phenotype denote samples from macroscopically suspect zones, but with microscopically no tumor detected.

• Three large nuclear families in which a single child per family was diagnosed with cancer

  We collected saliva samples from three nuclear families having 4, 5, and 7 children, respectively. One child in each nfamily had been diagnosed with a pediatric tumor, and neither parent had been diagnosed with cancer. Diagnoses included Wilms tumor, low-grade astrocytoma, and Burkitt’s lymphoma, respectively. We used whole-genome sequencing to profile normal cells from each family member and a linked-read technology.

• Molecular characterization of invasive lobular carcinoma

  Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common histological subtype of breast cancer accounting for 10-15% of cases. ILC differs from invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC)with respect to epidemiology, histology, and clinical presentation. Moreover, ILC is lesssensitive to chemotherapy, more frequently bilateral, and more prone to form gastrointestinal, peritoneal, and ovarian metastases than IDCs. In contrast to IDC, the prognostic value ofhistological grade (HG) in ILC is controversial. One of the three major components of histological grading (tubule formation) is missing in ILC which hinders the process of gradingin this histological subtype and results in the classification of approximately two thirds of ILC as HG 2.Over the last decade, a number of gene expression signatures have shed light onto breast cancer classification, allowing breast cancer care to become more personalized. Withrespect to the management of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, several gene expression signatures provide prognostic and/or predictive information beyond what is possible with current classical clinico-pathological parameters alone. Nevertheless, most studies using gene expression signature have not considered different histologic subtypesseparately. Recently, a comprehensive research program has elucidated some of the biological underpinnings of invasive lobular carcinoma. Genetic material extracted from 200 ILC tumor samples were studied using gene expression profiling and identified ILCmolecular subtypes. These proliferation-driven gene signatures of ILC appear to have prognostic significance. In particular, the Genomic Grade (GG) gene signature improved upon HG in ILC and added prognostic value to classic clinico-pathologic factors. In addition this study demonstrated that most ILC are molecularly characterized as luminal-A (~75%)followed by luminal-B (~20%) and HER2-positve tumors (~5%). Moreover, we investigated the prognostic value of known gene signatures/ gene modules in the same cohort of ILC. As a second step within the scope of this project, we aim to investigate the interactionsbetween somatic ILC tumor mutations to observed transcriptome findings. To this end, we aim to perform somatic mutation analysis for the ILC tumors for which Affymetrix gene expression profiling is available. To this end, we will use a gene screen assay, which specifically interrogates the mutational status of a few hundreds of cancer genes. We believe that this pioneering effort will be fundamental for a tailored treatment of ILC withimprovement in patients' outcome.
