• Whole-genome sequencing of rare disease patients in a national healthcare system

  Most patients with rare diseases do not receive a molecular diagnosis and the aetiological variants and mediating genes for more than half such disorders remain to be discovered. We implemented whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in a national healthcare system to streamline diagnosis and to discover unknown aetiological variants, in the coding and non-coding regions of the genome. In a pilot study for the 100,000 Genomes Project, we generated WGS data for 13,037 participants, of whom 9,802 had a rare disease, and provided a genetic diagnosis to 1,138 of the 7,065 patients with detailed phenotypic data. We identified 95 Mendelian associations between genes and rare diseases, of which 11 have been discovered since 2015 and at least 79 are confirmed aetiological. Using WGS of UK Biobank1, we showed that rare alleles can explain the presence of some individuals in the tails of a quantitative red blood cell (RBC) trait. Finally, we reported 4 novel non-coding variants which cause disease through the disruption of transcription of ARPC1B, GATA1, LRBA and MPL. Our study demonstrates a synergy by using WGS for diagnosis and aetiological discovery in routine healthcare.

• Deciphering Intratumoral Molecular Heterogeneity in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma with a Radiogenomics Platform

  Intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) challenges the molecular characterization of clear cell renal cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) with percutaneous biopsies and is a confounding factor in selection of molecular-targeted versus immune-based therapy. Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging can noninvasively assess the spatial landscape of the entire tumor. To validate MRI for ITH assessment, we implemented a radiogenomic platform through a systematic imaging based co-localization approach for multi region tissue acquisition from single tumors. We investigated if the spatial changes in imaging can predict the molecular changes using transcriptome and histopathological correlatives. Our study confirmed imaging heterogeneity as a predictor of molecular heterogeneity in ccRCC.

• The evolutionary landscape of colorectal tumorigenesis

  The genetic events that cause colorectal adenomas to progress to carcinomas remain largely undetermined. Using multi-region genome/exome sequencing of 24 benign and malignant colorectal tumours, we probe the evolutionary fitness landscape occupied by these neoplasms. Unlike carcinomas, advanced adenomas frequently harbour sub-clonal driver mutations, hence lack selective sweeps, and have relatively high genetic heterogeneity. Carcinomas are distinguished from adenomas not by nucleotide-level mutations (drivers or burden), but by widespread aneusomies that are usually clonal and often accrue in a “punctuated” fashion. Adenomas evolve across an undulating fitness landscape, whereas carcinomas occupy a sharper fitness peak, probably owing to stabilising selection.

• Genome Wide Association Study:GR@ACE Stage I

  The Genome Research program at Fundacio ACE (GR@ACE, Barcelona, Spain), represents a new effort to study Alzheimer's Disease susceptibility. The GR@ACE study comprises 7,409 unrelated individuals. 4,120 AD cases were diagnosed at Fundació ACE Memory Clinic (Barcelona, Spain). 3,289 Controls were obtained from three collections (Fundació ACE, Barcelona; DNA National Biobank, Salamanca and HU Valme, Seville). Genotyping was carried out using the 815K Axiom Spain Biobank array (Affymetrix.) in the Spanish national center for genotyping (CEGEN, Santiago de Compostela, Spain). After genotyping, an extensive quality control was conducted, including re-sampling, gender match, stratification, relatedness, heterozygosity, differential missingness and HWD analyses.

• Chracterising_cellur_pathways_underlying_CD3_CD28_activation_of_human_CD4__cells

  We devised an approach to disentangle the TCR and CD28 pathways upon stimulation in naive and memory primary human CD4+ T cells (Tcons) in response to defined stimulatory signals. Sorted Tcons were activated using a titration of anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 in combination as well as individually. As a control we cultured cells in the same conditions but without the stimuli. In total, we defined seven conditions from four individuals for sequencing. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Predicting brain tumor recurrence: development and validation of a DNA-methylation based nomogram in meningioma

  Our work is the first to demonstrate the transformative utility of integrating clinical and molecular factors for use beyond simple classification into the realm of individualized prognostication for any brain tumor. Using our developed and validated tools that are publicly available, clinicians will be able combine clinical and molecular factors to determine an individualized probability of recurrence for patients with meningiomas. This represents a major advance in the field of personalized medicine for neuro-oncology, and the use of this tool can help clinicians overcome one of the most challenging limitations we face when treating patients with meningiomas.

• University of Michigan Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research (CSER)

  Overview. The personalization of therapy for cancer will require molecular characterization of unique and shared genetic aberrations. In particular, patients who have a sarcoma or other rare cancers and are candidates for clinical trials could potentially benefit by identifying eligibility for "targeted" drugs based on the "actionable" genes in their specific tumor. Growing technological advances in genomic sequencing has now made it possible to consider the use of sequence data in a clinical setting. For instance, comprehensive testing that includes whole exome and transcriptome sequencing may identify biomarkers for predictive or prognostic purposes and thereby inform treatment choices and prevention strategies. Thus, the translation of high throughput next generation sequencing would support a "personalized" strategy for cancer. However, the translation of clinical sequencing bears unique challenges including identifying patients who could benefit, developing informed consent and human subjects protections, outlining measurable outcomes, interpreting what results should be reported and validated, and how results should be reported. In addition, we know very little about how patients and clinicians will respond to the potentially confusing and overwhelming amount of information generated by genomic sequencing, and we lack model processes for clinically evaluating and presenting these data. For the promise of our innovative biotechnologies to be realized, "translational genomics" research that evaluates genomic applications within real-world clinical settings will be required. This proposal brings together expertise at the University of Michigan including clinical oncology, cancer genetics, genomic science/bioinformatics, clinical pathology, social and behavioral sciences, and bioethics in order to implement this clinical cancer sequencing project. Three integrated Projects have the following themes: Project 1) "Clinical Genomic Study" will identify patients with a rare cancer (i.e., 15 out of 100,000 individuals per year) who are eligible for clinical trials, consent them to the study, obtain biospecimens (tumor tissue, germline tissue), store clinical data, and assemble a multi-disciplinary Sequencing Tumor Board to deliberate on return of actionable or incidental genomic results; Project 2) "Sequencing & Analysis" will process biospecimens and perform comprehensive sequencing and analysis of tumors to identify point mutations, copy number changes, rearrangements/gene fusions, and aberrant gene expression; Project 3) "Ethics & Psychosocial Analysis" will observe the expert review process for evaluating sequence results and will examine the clinician and patient response to the informed consent process, delivery of genomic sequence results, and use of genomic results.
