• Mutational Landscape of MCPyV-Positive and MCPyV-Negative Merkel Cell Carcinomas

  Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin most commonly found on the sun-exposed skin of older Caucasian adults. Roughly one-third of patients with MCCs die of the disease; therefore, MCC is the most lethal skin cancer on a case-by-case basis. 49 cases were studied, and putative cancer driver gene mutations and tumor antigens in both MCPyV-negative and MCPyV-positive MCCs were identified.

• Germline Sequencing for Aggressive Prostate Carcinoma

  This study aims to elucidate the genetic determinants of susceptibility to aggressive prostate carcinoma. To this end, germ line whole exome sequence has been generated from patients with aggressive prostate cancer. Whole genome sequence for a representative subset of tumors from patients whose cancer was resistant to primary therapy is included as well. This deep genomic interrogation will allow the identification of rare, functionally disruptive variants that may play a role in disease progession and response to treatment.

• Modelling Multi-Dimensional ClinOmics for Precision Therapy of Children and Adolescent Young Adults with Relapsed and Refractory Cancer: A Report from the Center for Cancer Research

  The Center for Cancer Research (CCR), of the intramural NCI undertook a multidimensional clinical genomics study of children and adolescent young adults with relapsed and refractory cancers who were enrolled on other therapeutic trials to determine the feasibility of a genome guided precision therapy protocol in these patients.Note: NCIPM001blood - This sample was previously submitted with study phs002207, with sample ID NCIPM001blood_E and SRR ID SRR18544311.

• Circulating cell-free and extracellular vesicles-derived microRNA as prognostic biomarkers in patients with early-stage NSCLC: results from RESTING study

  Lung cancer, especially non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), has high mortality rates. Early-stage NSCLC shows a 50% relapse rate post-surgery, with most recurrences occurring within two years and a 5-year survival of only 30%. This study focuses on the prognostic value of circulating miRNAs in surgically treated ES-NSCLC patients, aiming to assess their predictive accuracy and compare them to standard prognostic factors.

• Intratumoral Heterogeneity and Clonal Evolution Induced by HPV Integration

  The human papillomavirus (HPV) genome is integrated into host DNA in most HPV-positive cancers, but the consequences for chromosomal integrity are unknown. We used continuous long-read sequencing of oropharyngeal cancers and cervical cancer cell lines to resolve structural variation induced by HPV. We discovered a previously undescribed form of structural variation, "heterocateny," characterized by diverse, interrelated, and repetitive patterns of concatemerized virus and host DNA segments within a cancer.

• Genomic Signatures of Intestinal Metaplasia in Six Countries with Varying Incidence of Stomach Cancer

  Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a pre-cancerous condition associated with gastric cancer (GC), a deadly malignancy with varying geographic incidence. Performing a genomic analysis of over 1,500 IM samples from six countries, we identified 46 significantly mutated genes. We observed IM driver genes associated with high-risk populations and worse prognosis (ARID1A), members of the KRAS/MAPK signalling pathway (KRAS, BRAF, MAP2K1, MAP3K1, MAP2K4, NF1), and altered mucosal immunity (PIGR).

• WGS of peripheral blood leukocytes from patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome

  We performed whole genome sequencing on 84 LFS family members from 47 families: 22 with wildtype TP53 and 62 with variant TP53. The variant TP53 cohort consists of 49 individuals who developed cancer and 13 individuals who remain cancer-free; 34 were from 13 families with 2-4 individuals sequenced within a given family and the remaining 28 had no family members sequenced. The wildtype cohort consists of 14 individuals who developed cancer and 8 individuals who are cancer-free, from 6 families.

• Copy-number signatures and mutational processes in ovarian carcinoma

  This study contains the data underlying our approach for copy-number signature identification in high-grade serous ovarian cancer. The samples studied are part of the BriTROC-1 consortium, a national study into relapsed high-grade serous ovarian cancer. The dataset consists of shallow-whole genome sequencing of 300 samples from 143 patients with match tagged-amplicon sequencing of TP53. The study also contains deeper whole-genome sequencing of 48 cases.

• Genomic study of an AT-AML

  Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T) is caused by biallelic mutations in ATM and confers predisposition to cancer, with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) being rarely observed. We investigated an AML arising in an A-T patient for secondary genetic events by performing whole exome sequencing of serial samples over the disease course. AML samples were compared to a reference "germline" sample from a much earlier time point. Goldgraben et al 2020, Pediatric Blood & Cancer

• Investigation of a method for generating cells for regenerative medicine using comprehensive nucleic acid analysis of iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes.

  Regenerative medicine for heart failure is expected to restore cardiac function by using human iPS cells (hiPSCs). In our laboratory, it was shown that transplantation of cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from hiPSCs into a pig model of myocardial infarction improves the disease condition. However, the instability of differentiation efficiency and tumorigenicity after transplantation are still issues to be resolved. We attempt to identify and analyze the genes and DNA methylation associated with the induction of differentiation of hiPSCs into CMs with the aim of achieving stable induction of CMs differentiation. Furthermore, we aim to analyze genes involved in tumorigenesis in CMs, and to develop a predictive marker for tumorigenesis to ensure the safety of cells before transplantation.
