• Mutational analysis of an oligoprogressive sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma treated with an immune checkpoint inhibitor.

  In this study, we describe a patient diagnosed with metastatic sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma that showed a remarkable tumor response to Nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, followed by an oligoprogression. Molecular analysis of the primary tumor in addition to a bone and brain metastasis was performed and we were able to identify driver genetic alterations indicating a possible role in the tumorigenesis process besides some alterations that may be associated with metastasis.

• Nuclease deficiencies alter plasma cell-free DNA methylationprofiles (Human)

  The effects of DNASE1L3 or DNASE1 deficiency on cfDNA methylation was explored in plasma of mice deficient in these nucleases and in DNASE1L3-deficient humans. Compared to wildtype cfDNA, cfDNA in Dnase1l3-deficient mice was significantly hypomethylated, while cfDNA in Dnase1-deficient mice was hypermethylated. The cfDNA hypomethylation in Dnase1l3-deficient mice was due to increased fragmentation and representation from open chromatin regions (OCRs) and CpG islands (CGIs). These findings were absent in Dnase1-deficient mice.

• Whole exome sequencing in patients with ALS and concomitant FTD lacking the C9orf72 repeat expansion

  Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are part of a clinical, pathological and genetic continuum. The purpose of the present study was to assess the mutation burden that is present in ALS and/or FTD known disease-causing genes in 54 patients (16 with available postmortem neuropathological diagnosis) with concurrent ALS and FTD (ALS/FTD) not-carrying the C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat expansion, the most important genetic cause in both diseases.

• Distinct genomic profile and specific targeted drug responses in adult cerebellar glioblastoma

  Only a few studies have reported the molecular characteristics of adult cerebellar glioblastoma (C-GBM), a subtype comprising 1% of glioblastoma cases located within the infratentorial brain region due to the rarity. By identifying genomic profiles from 19 adult C-GBM samples, we revealed the genetic intertumoral heterogeneity in C-GBM as well as distinct genomic characteristics from those of supratentorial glioblastomas (S-GBMs), emphasizing the need of individualized therapies for C-GBM patients.

• Comparative genomics research for Chinese colorectal cancer

  In order to clarify the mechanisms of genesis and development of colorectal carcinoma, in this study, we performed comparative genomics research in Chinese colorectal cancer at various clinical stage via whole exon sequencing or whole genome sequencing. Comparative bioinformatical analysis was perform to find the difference on somatic single-nucleotide variants, short insert/deletion variants, genomic structural variants, and copy number variants between cancer tissue and normal tissue, or among cancer tissues at various clinical stages.

• Molecular characterization of endothelial cells under conditions associated with hematopoietic niche formation in humans

  Using a combinatory approach of cell purification and transcriptomics, we identify a subset of endoglin-expressing endothelial cells enriched in human bone marrow during fetal ontogeny and regeneration after chemotherapeutic injury. Comprehensive transcriptional characterization by massive parallel RNA sequencing of these cells revealed a remarkable phenotypic and molecular similarity to murine H endothelium as well as activation of pathways and angiocrine factors implicated in hematopoiesis, osteogenesis and angiogenesis.

• Circulating tumor cell copy-number heterogeneity in ALK-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer resistant to ALK inhibitors

  Gatekeeper mutations are identified in only 50% of the cases at resistance to Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are relevant tools to identify additional resistance mechanisms and can be sequenced at the single-cell level. Here, we provide in-depth investigation of copy number alteration (CNA) heterogeneity in phenotypically characterized CTCs at resistance to ALK-TKIs in ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer.

• scRNA_seq_of_circulatory_immune_cells_from_Crohn_s_disease_patient_blood

  Whole blood from Crohn's disease patients with active inflammation in the terminal ileum was depleted of red blood cells and partially depleted of granulocytes before single cell sequencing using 10X genomics 3'v3 kit followed by Illumina sequencing (HS4000 and NovaSeq) This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Deep intronic homozygous variation in PSMC3 causes a syndromic neurosensory disorder combining deafness and cataract

  The association of congenital deafness and early-onset cataracts inherited as a recessive trait is a rare combination described in only a few syndromes with very few genes identified to date. We propose that the PSMC3 proteasome subunit dysfunction leads to a novel human syndrome that includes early-onset cataracts and deafness and suggest that Rpt5 plays a major role in inner ear and lens development.

• Multi-omics profiling of paired primary and recurrent glioblastoma patient tissues

  Despite maximal therapy with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients have a median survival of only 15 months. Almost all patients inevitably experience symptomatic tumor recurrence. A hallmark of this tumor type is the large heterogeneity between patients and within tumors itself which relate to failure of standardized tumor treatment. In this study, tissue samples of paired primary and recurrent GBM tumors were investigated to identify individual factors related to tumor progression.
