• Origins and timing of emerging lesions in advanced renal cell carcinoma

  Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with venous tumor thrombus (VTT) arising from the primary tumor occurs in ~10% of cases and is thought to represent more advanced disease. RCC with VTT and distant metastasis provides unique opportunities to examine the origins and relative timing of tumor lesion emergence and to identify molecular correlates with disease state. We performed multi-region exome and RNA sequencing analysis of a clinical cohort of 16 RCC patients with VTT, with eight patients also having sequenced metastasis, to examine which genomic alterations, biological pathways, and evolutionary processes contribute to VTT and metastasis, and to ask whether metastasis typically arises directly from VTT or is independent of VTT.

• Genomic profiling of IBC

  We collected matched pretreatment blood and tumor samples from 19 patients with primary TN-IBC enrolled in a phase II clinical trial (NCT02876107). Patients were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) or the anti-EGFR antibody panitumumab (PmAb) plus NAC (PmAb/NAC). We conducted whole-exome sequencing, RNA sequencing, and CIBERSORT analyses for these TN-IBC samples and compare the genetic and molecular profiles with similarly analyzed stage III TN-non-IBC patient samples. We also compared the genetic and molecular characteristics of TN-IBC in patients who had a pathologic complete response (pCR) to NAC or PmAb/NAC treatment, a suitable surrogate endpoint for IBC, with those who did not have pCR (non-pCR).

• Using NGS to Sequence Whole Genomes to Identify Genes Underlying ALS

  Our ALS Consortium - a partnership of clinicians, basic scientists, geneticists, and computational biologists from 48 institutions (4 of which are industry partners) across 5 countries - establishes a framework to apply whole genome sequencing (WGS) and functional genomics to the study of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Because ALS-causing mutations tend to be of moderate impact and are relatively rare in the population (reviewed in Al-Chalabi et al., 2017, PMID: 27982040), identification of new mutations require several thousand samples, which need to be obtained from multiple sites (even the busiest ALS clinics see only 200-400 patients per year). ALS Consortium is using genomics technologies to study the causes and mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disease, and the contribution of various cell types within the brain and spinal cord. Much of this work is done and continues to be done in collaboration with the members of the NYGC ALS Consortium.

• Targeted Mutational Analysis of Intestinal T-cell Lymphomas, Using a Customized Targeted Amplicon Panel on the Ion Torrent PGM

  Intestinal T-cell lymphomas (ITCL) are rare, aggressive T-cell lymphomas that are composed primarily of enteropathy-associated lymphomas Type 1 and type 2, and a small fraction of cases not classifiable as EATL that are classified as peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise classifiable. The molecular pathogenesis of these rare lymphomas is largely unknown. We studied a series of 34 ITCL cases using a combination of amplicon based targeted next generation sequencing and pyrosequencing for mutations in 34 genes previously reported to be mutated in other types of T-cell lymphomas and other genes known to have significant roles in normal T-cell proliferation. We identified a high percentage of cases with mutations in JAK/STAT signaling pathway members, and also in RAS family members. Notably, we did not detect GNAI-2 mutations in our North American cases of EATL type 2 by targeted pyrosequencing, which had been reported previously in Asian cases.
