• Somatic mutation in edited cholangiocyte organoids

  Primary human cells cultured in organoid format have great promise as potential regenerative cellular therapies. However, their immunogenicity and mutagenic profile remain unresolved, impeding effective long-term translation to the clinic. In this study we report, for the first time, the generation of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-I and HLA-II knock-out human expandable primary cholangiocyte organoids (PCOs) using CRISPR-Cas9 as a potential ‘universal’ low-immunogenic therapy for bile duct disorders. HLA-edited PCOs (ePCOs) displayed the same phenotypic and functional characteristics as parental unedited PCOs. Despite minimal off-target edits, duplex sequencing approaches demonstrated that ePCOs and PCOs acquire mutations in culture at similar rates, but without evident selection for cancer-driver mutations. ePCOs induced reduced T cell-mediated immunity and donor-dependent NK cell cytotoxicity in vitro and evaded cytotoxic responses with increased graft survival in humanized mice in vivo. Our findings have important implications for assessment of safety and immunogenicity of primary cell-derived organoid cellular therapies.

• Systemic mutagen exposures reported by normal kidney cell genomes - matched normal samples (whole-genome sequencing)

  Lifestyle, environmental and other exposures to exogenous mutagens generate somatic mutations in normal human cells in vivo and increase cancer risk. However, the global repertoire of exogenous mutagen exposures is uncertain. Using single-molecule duplex sequencing of normal kidney (n=319) and blood (n=272) samples from 10 countries, we show that kidney proximal tubule cells exhibit higher mutation rates than most normal cell types despite low cell division rates. Compared to cells from kidney glomeruli, medulla, distal tubules, or peripheral blood, proximal tubule cells show marked enrichment of mutational signatures due to the exogenous carcinogenic mutagens, aristolochic acids, and of several signatures of unknown causes. The results suggest the existence of multiple, common, systemically circulated mutagens affecting human populations and indicate that the genomes of kidney proximal tubule cells report such exposures with high sensitivity.

• A practical guide for mutational signature analysis in hematological malignancies

  Analysis of mutational signatures is becoming routine in cancer genomics, with implications for pathogenesis, classification, prognosis, and even treatment decisions. However, the field lacks a consensus on analysis and result interpretation. Using whole-genome sequencing of multiple myeloma (MM), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute myeloid leukemia, we compare the performance of public signature analysis tools. We describe caveats and pitfalls of de novo signature extraction and fitting approaches, reporting on common inaccuracies: erroneous signature assignment, identification of localized hyper-mutational processes, overcalling of signatures. We provide reproducible solutions to solve these issues and use orthogonal approaches to validate our results. We show how a comprehensive mutational signature analysis may provide relevant biological insights, reporting evidence of c-AID activity among unmutated CLL cases or the absence of BRCA1/BRCA2-mediated homologous recombination deficiency in a MM cohort. Finally, we propose a general analysis framework to ensure production of accurate and reproducible mutational signature data.

• Rapid detection of expanded short tandem repeats in personal genomics using hybrid sequencing.

  Long expansions of short tandem repeats (STRs); i.e., DNA repeats of 2-6 nucleotides, are associated with some genetic diseases. Cost-efficient high throughput sequencing can quickly produce billions of short reads that would be useful for uncovering disease-associated STRs. However, enumerating STRs in short reads remains largely unexplored because of the difficulty in elucidating STRs much longer than 100 bp, the typical length of short reads. We propose ab initio procedures for sensing and locating long STRs promptly by utilizing the frequency distribution of all STRs and paired-end read information. We validated the reproducibility of this method using biological replicates and used it to locate an STR associated with a brain disease (SCA31). Subsequently, we sequenced this STR site in eleven SCA31 samples using SMRT? sequencing (Pacific Biosciences), determined 2.3-3.1 kb sequences at nucleotide resolution, and revealed that (TGGAA)- and (TAAAATAGAA)-repeat expansions determined the instability of the repeat expansions associated with SCA31. Our method could also identify common STRs, (AAAG)- and (AAAAG)-repeat expansions, which are remarkably expanded at four positions in an SCA31 sample. This is the first proposed method for rapidly finding disease-associated long STRs in personal genomes using hybrid sequencing of short and long reads.

• Comprehensive genomic analysis of colorectal cancer with microsatellite instability

  Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) colorectal cancers (CRCs) account for 10?15% of all CRCs. MSI-H CRC is characterized by a large number of somatic insertions/deletions (indels) resulting from either mutations within or the silencing of genes involved in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system. A subset of MSI-H CRCs is associated with Lynch syndrome (LS), which is caused by germline MMR gene mutations, leading to hereditary cancer predisposition. Other than frequent somatic mutations in BRAF, the transformation mechanisms underlying MSI-H CRC are largely unknown. Here, genomic DNA from 149 MSI-H CRC specimens was analyzed using whole-exome sequencing, and 93 of these samples were subjected to genome-wide DNA methylation analysis. Furthermore, transcriptome sequencing was conducted on 111 samples. Genomic/epigenomic analyses identified three subgroups within our cohort: (1) MSI-H CRCs with silenced MLH1 that share frequent indels, a specific mutation/copy number alteration profile and promoter DNA methylation; (2) LS-associated MSI-H CRCs with MMR genes containing germline mutations; and (3) the remaining MSI-H CRCs with frequent somatic disruptive mutations of MLH1 or MSH2. Unexpectedly, only the first group was found to frequently carry fusion-type protein kinases (15% of this group and 9.9% of all MSI-H CRCs) that are promising therapeutic targets. Thus, MSI-H CRCs can be classified into three subgroups with distinctive genomic as well as epigenomic statuses, probably reflecting the oncogenic processes of these cancers. Fusion-type kinases are enriched in MSI-H CRCs, shedding new light on potential treatment strategies.

• MYO5B mutations in Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma promote cancer progression

  Identification of additional cancer-associated genes and secondary mutations driving the metastatic progression in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) is important. We recently reported novel recurrent nonsynonymous mutations in the MYO5B gene in metastatic PPGL. Here, we explored the functional impact of these MYO5B mutations, and analyzed MYO5B expression in primary PPGL tumor cases in relation to mutation status.Immunohistochemistry and mRNA expression analysis in 30 primary PPGL tumors revealed an increased MYO5B expression in metastatic compared to non-metastatic tumor cases. In addition, subcellular localization of MYO5B protein was altered from cytoplasmatic to membranous in some metastatic tumors, and the strongest and most abnormal expression pattern was observed in a PGL case harboring a MYO5B:p.G1611S mutation. Mutation analysis of additional PPGL tumors revealed additional, and hence recurrent, mutations in the paralog MYO5A. Three missense mutations in MYO5B were functionally studied using site directed mutagenesis and stable transfection into human neuroblastoma cells (SK-N-AS) and embryonic kidney cells (HEK293 cell line). Functional analysis of the mutants verified a significant increased proliferation rate in all MYO5B mutated clones (p.L587P, p.G1611S, and p.R1641C). The two somatically derived mutations p.L587P and p.G1611S were also found to increase the migration rate, and all three mutants affected intracellular transport by increased transferrin uptake. Downstream expression analysis of MYO5B mutants demonstrated a transcriptional activation of genes involved in glucose metabolism, proliferation, homeostasis, and migration. Our study validates the functional role of novel MYO5B mutations in proliferation and migration, and suggest the MYO5-pathway to be involved the malignant progression of PPGL tumors.

• Rare germline sequence variants, copy number variations, expression alterations, methylation variations and disease susceptibility in familial melanoma

  Although a number of high-risk melanoma genes have been identified, they account for melanoma risk in less than 40% of melanoma-prone families. The major goals of our research are to identify novel high-penetrance genes for familial melanoma in melanoma-prone families without known mutations and to identify modifier factors, including genetic and epigenetic, in melanoma-prone families with and without known major mutations. We are using whole exome sequencing to identify additional high-risk susceptibility genes and using targeted sequencing to follow up on the top genes in additional family members and in population-based melanoma cases and controls. We are also using RNASeq to investigate genome-wide allele-specific expression and eQTLs in these families to identify genes with expression alteration, which will provide additional information for gene discovery. In addition, we also conducted genome-wide copy number variation (CNV), methylation, and miRNA expression profiling analyses in our melanoma families with the goal of identifying genetic and epigenetic factors as disease modifiers.

• WES in HCCOs with varying Doxorubicin resistance

  We aimed to identify somatic mutations that could explain the resistance to Doxorubicin. Therefor, we purified Exomes from liver biopsies and HCC organoids using Agilent SureSelectXT (clinical research exome, HS2 V8, or Human all Exon V6 Cosmic) and performed WES. Matched non-tumoral liver biopsies served as the control for germline mutations. 12 of these samples were previously reported. Sequence reads were aligned to the reference human genome GRCh38 using Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA, v0.7.17). Duplicate removal, base quality adjustment, mutation calling (Mutect2, intervals: SureSelectXT_HS_V8_S33266340, germline-recourse: gnomad.exomes.r2.1.1.sites.liftover_grch38, Panel-of-Normal: 1000g_pon.hg38), filtering of Mutect calls, and functional annotation (Funcotator, funcotator_dataSources.v1.7.20200521g) were performed using the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK, v4.4) according to the Broad Institute best practices in Somatic short variant discovery workflows. Mutations with a functional annotation of Deletion, Insertion, Non-stop, Splice-Site, Start-Codon and Missense mutations were kept. A list of 43 commonly mutated genes in HCC was analyzed in the HCC organoids [TCGA, Comprehensive and Integrative Genomic Characterization of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

• FetalQuant-SD: Accurate quantification of fetal DNA fraction by shallow-depth sequencing of maternal plasma DNA

  Noninvasive prenatal testing using massively parallel sequencing of maternal plasma DNA has been rapidly adopted in clinical use worldwide. Fetal DNA fraction in a maternal plasma sample is an important parameter for accurate interpretations of these tests. However, there is a lack of methods involving low-sequencing depth and yet would allow a robust and accurate determination of fetal DNA fraction in maternal plasma for all pregnancies. In this study, we have developed a new method to accurately quantify the fetal DNA fraction by analysing the maternal genotypes and sequencing data of maternal plasma DNA. Fetal DNA fraction was calculated based on the proportion of non-maternal alleles at single-nucleotide polymorphisms where the mother is homozygous. This new approach achieves a median deviation of 0.6% between predicted fetal DNA fraction and the actual fetal DNA fraction using as low as 0.03-fold sequencing coverage of the human genome. We believe that this method will further enhance the clinical interpretations of noninvasive prenatal testing using genome-wide random sequencing.
