• Genetic Landscape of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Defined by Exome Sequencing on Chinese Patient Cohort and Cell Lines

  Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide. To define the genetic landscape of ESCC, whole exome sequencing was performed on 113 pairs of tumor and normal DNA samples collected from Chinese individuals with treatment-naive primary ESCC, along with 8 cell lines, including 7 from KYSE series ESCC cell lines and one immortalized esophageal squamous epithelial cell line Het-1A.

• Myelodysplastic_Syndrome_Follow_Up_Series

  Agilent whole exome hybridisation capture was performed on genomic DNA derived from MDS and matched normal DNA from the same patients. Next Generation sequencing performed on the resulting exome libraries and mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the identification of novel cancer genes. Now we aim to discover the prevalence of our findings using bespoke pulldown methods and sequencing the products from a larger set of patient DNA.

• Recent genetic history of Denmark

  The "Where Are You From?" project explores the extent to which recent and more distant historical events left their mark on the genetic structure of the current Danish population. The project's ultimate goal is to gain insights into the historical complexity of Denmark from the genetic perspective. To this goal, a data set consisting of approximately 800 high school students from across Denmark was used to run an extensive genetic analysis.

• Whole_genome_sequencing_of_a_Grem1_mutant_human_tumour

  The BMP antagonist Grem1 has been shown to be associated with a rare human polyposissyndrome (HMPS). We have shown that there is a 40KB duplication on chrom 15 found insome patients with HMPS. Traditional serrated adenomas (rare sporadic polyps) share somemorphological features with HMPS polyps and it has long been hypothesised that they are thesporadic version of HMPS polyps. We have obtained of one of theselesions and in this project we aim to characterise this tumour.

• Whole genome sequencing of ASD quartet families

  Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is genetically heterogeneous with >100 susceptibility genes known. We used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 85 quartet families (two parents and two ASD-affected siblings) to comprehensively examine mutation characteristics. Our results emphasize using WGS to maximize the detection of all classes of mutations potentially involved in autism, and to enable the interpretation of that data in confirmatory and predictive diagnosis in different individuals in a family.

• cis-eQTL mapping of human pancreatic islets

  The intersection of genome-wide association analyses with physiological and functional data indicates that variants regulating islet gene transcription influence type 2 diabetes predisposition and glucose homeostasis. However, the specific genes through which these regulatory variants act remain poorly characterized. In this study, we generated eQTL data from human islet samples to establish the extent to which this allowed us to identify candidate effector transcripts at GWAS loci for T2D and glycemic traits.

• 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.

• Carcinoma of the oral tongue (OTSCC) genomic landscape characterisation

  Carcinoma of the oral tongue (OTSCC) is the most common malignancy of the oral cavity, characterized by frequent recurrence and poor survival. The last three decades has witnessed a change in the OTSCC epidemiological profile, with increasing incidence in younger patients, females and never-smokers. Here, we sought to characterize the OTSCC genomic landscape and to determine factors that may delineate the genetic basis of this disease, inform prognosis and identify targets for therapeutic intervention.
