• The Nurses' Health Study (NHS) GWAS of Mammographic Density

  The Nurses' Health Study is an on-going prospective cohort study of women that was initiated in 1976. This specific study was part of a larger study to advance our knowledge of breast cancer etiology, expand the current knowledge of mammographic density, and clarify the relationship between mammographic density and breast cancer risk. We conducted a nested case control study of breast cancer among women who provided a blood sample. We then targeted our mammogram collection to participants that were selected as part of this nested case-control study (i.e. those who had provided a blood sample). The mammogram closest to the date of blood draw (~1989-1990) was used. We assessed mammographic breast density from digitized film images using a computer assisted thresholding method (Cumulus). The women in this study were genotyped using the Illumina Omni Express Platform.

• Korean Young Age Diffuse Gastric Cancers

  The incidence of diffuse gastric cancers (DGC) remains steadily high, but relatively small numbers of DGCs have been evaluated with whole exome sequencing (WES). Clinicopathological features of DGC vary according to age, but the molecular basis for these variations is unclear. To identify genomic alteration in this unique subset of gastric cancers, whole exome and SNP6 analyses were performed using frozen cancer tissue. The same analyses were also performed using blood of the same patients.

• Improved T Cell Immunity Following Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Ovarian Cancer

  This study characterized the evolution of the peripheral immune cell function and composition across the course of standard of care platinum and taxane chemotherapy in ovarian cancer using bulk and single cell transcriptomic approaches. Serial blood samples were collected from ten patients with advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer treated with chemotherapy. Single cell sequencing was performed on five patients' samples collected before the initiation of chemotherapy and after the third cycle of chemotherapy.

• Whole-exome sequencing profiling of patients with metastatic prostate cancer at VHIO

  Metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) is enriched for homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene alterations, which have prognostic and predictive value. Routine clinical implementation of next-generation sequencing (NGS) is still limited. We investigated the association between genomic and functional loss of HRR, using NGS and a RAD51 immunofluorescence (RAD51-IF) iprimary or metastatic biopsies from patients with stage IV prostate cancer. Whole-exome sequencing was pursued for paired tumor-normal samples.

• Identification of mutations and structural rearrangements in plasma DNA form metastatic prostate cancer patients

  In this study we analysed patients with metastatic prostate cancer to scan their tumor genomes noninvasively in plasma DNA. We enriched 1.3 Mbp of seven plasma DNAs (4 CRPC cases: CRPC1-3 and CRPC5; 3 CSPC cases: CSPC1-2 and CSPC4) including exonic sequences of 55 cancer genes and 38 introns of 18 genes, where fusion breakpoints have been described using Sure Select Custom DNA Kit.

• Mapping genetic effects on cell type-specific chromatin accessibility using single nucleus ATAC-seq

  Gene regulation is highly cell type-specific and understanding the function of non-coding genetic variants associated with complex traits requires molecular phenotyping at cell type resolution. In this study we performed single nucleus ATAC-seq (snATAC-seq) and genotyping in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 13 individuals. We mapped chromatin accessibility QTLs (caQTLs) in each immune cell type and sub-type in a subset of 10 samples of European genetic ancestry.

• Breast RNA Sequencing

  We propose to definitively characterise the somatic genetics of breast cancer through generation of comprehensive catalogues of somatic mutations in breast cancer cases by high coverage genome sequencing coupled with integrated transcriptomic and methylation analyses.

• RNA-Sequencing of cervical cancers

  We used RNA sequencing of 81 cervical cancer specimens to developed an immune-based gene expression signature to predict distant metastasis in cervical cancer patients treated with RT/cisplatin. Our 55-gene risk score, validated across independent cohorts, was strongly linked to higher rates of metastasis and lower survival. The score also correlated with higher copy-number alteration and a less immune-responsive tumor microenvironment, indicating its potential in identifying high-risk patients and informing targeted therapies.
