• A Randomized Multi-Institutional Phase II Trial of Everolimus as Adjuvant Therapy in Patients with Locally Advanced Squamous Cell Cancer of the Head and Neck

  This genomic study was an analysis of DNA samples from subjects enrolled in a randomized, interventional, parallel assignment trial of everolimus versus placebo in advanced Head and Neck Cancer. Next Generation Sequencing was performed on samples obtained from primary tumors before treatment. The purpose was to evaluate potential associations between intervention, mutations and outcomes.

• Inhibiting DNA Methylation Causes an Interferon Response in Cancer via dsRNA Including Endogenous Retroviruses

  We show that DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTis) upregulate immune signaling in cancer through the viral defense pathway and re-expression of epigenetically silenced endogenous retrovirus. In melanoma patients treated with an immune checkpoint therapy, high viral defense signature expression in tumors significantly associates with durable clinical response and DNMTi treatment sensitizes to anti-CTLA4 therapy in a pre-clinical melanoma model.

• BRCA1 secondary splice-site mutations

  BRCA1 splice isoforms d11 and d11q can contribute to PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance by splicing-out mutation-containing exons, producing truncated, partially-functional proteins. However, the clinical impact and underlying drivers of BRCA1 exon skipping remain undetermined. We analyzed nine ovarian and breast cancer patient derived xenografts (PDX) with BRCA1 exon 11 frameshift mutations for splice isoform expression and therapy response.

• Constrained hypermutation and absence of TERT promoter mutations in Lynch syndrome-associated urothelial cancer

  Lynch syndrome is a hereditary condition characterized by defective DNA mismatch repair and high incidence of several cancers, including urothelial cancers (UC) of the upper urinary tract and bladder. We set out to study the somatic landscape of LS-associated urothelial cancer (LS-UC) by analyzing 41 surgical tumor samples and 3 urine DNA samples from 34 LS-UC patients.

• Familial_Thrombocytosis_germline_exome_sequencing

  Agilent whole exome hybridisation capture will be performed on genomic DNA derived from 3 relatives from a family with multiple affected familial thrombocytosis (FT) patients. Germline DNA from 2-4 patients affected with FT will be used to prepare libraries and sequenced in one lane of HiSeq sequencing, mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the identification of novel cancer genes.

• Mixed_Leukemia_Rearrangement_Screen

  Genomic libraries will be generated from total genomic DNA derived from Mixed Leukemia and MPD samples and subjected to total of eight lanes of 37 bp, paired end sequencing on the illumina 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.

• ET_Exome

  Agilent whole exome hybridisation capture will be performed on genomic DNA derived from 50 Essential Thrombocythemia Myeloproliferative Disease samples and matched normal DNA from the same patients. Samples will be multiplexed in one lane of Illumina HiSeq. Sequencing to a coverage of at least 30x will be performed and mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the identification of novel cancer genes.

• 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.

• Expression-Based Subtypes Define Pathologic Response to Neoadjuvant Immune-Checkpoint Inhibitors in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

  Checkpoint immunotherapy (CPI) has increased survival for some patients with advanced stage bladder cancer (BCa). However, most patients do not respond. Here, we characterized the tumor and immune microenvironment in pre- and post-treatment tumors from the PURE01 neoadjuvant pembrolizumab immunotherapy trial, using a consolidative approach that combined transcriptional and genetic profiling with digital spatial profiling.

• Genomic Evolution of Breast Cancer Metastasis and Relapse

  Recurrent breast cancer is almost universally fatal. We characterize 170 patients locally relapsed or distant metastatic cancers using massively parallel sequencing. We identify that the relapse-seeding clone disseminates late from the primary tumor. TP53 and AKT1 appear to be enriched in ER-positive cancers predisposed to relapse. Mutation acquisition continues at relapse as the same mutation signatures continue to operate and new signatures, such as that caused by radiotherapy appear de novo. In 49% of cases we identify drivers mutations private to the relapse and these are sampled from a wider range of cancer genes, including SWI-SNF complex and JAK-STAT signaling.
