• Singapore Adult Metabolism Study - Phase 2 (SAMS2)

  Singapore Adult Metabolism Study - Phase 2 (SAMS2) was an interventional study where hundreds of donors aged 21-45 were recruited to participate in a 16-week weight loss program. Study individuals selected (see below for more detailed selection standards) were sedentary (exercise 1 or fewer times a week), obese or overweight with a body fat mass greater than 24% and a BMI between 23-35 kg/m2. For this study, we adjusted BMI definition for Asian population, based on the WHO Consultation 2002, and the BMI cut-off is 23 kg/m2 for overweight and 27.5 kg/m2 for obese. The weight loss program included a combination of dietary interventions, structured exercise sessions, and additional physical activity performed in participants' own time. Energy and protein requirements were calculated based on each participant's weight, height, and physical activity level, with the goal of achieving a 40% calorie deficit. Participants' calorie intake was tracked using food recalls and questionnaires. Additionally, subjects attended structured exercise sessions at least three times per week, supervised by a coach. Each session consisted of 90 minutes of aerobic and strength training exercises, designed to burn approximately 500 kcal per session. To monitor daily physical activity, participants wore pedometers throughout the study. In total, the exercise sessions (500 kcal per session) and daily physical activity (targeting an additional 500 kcal) were aimed at achieving a total caloric expenditure of 2000 kcal per week. We collected clinical data and skeletal muscle biopsies from 54 overweight/obese Asian individuals before and after a 16-week lifestyle intervention, which resulted in an average ~10% weight loss, accompanied by a ~30% increase in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Improvements were observed in 118 of 252 clinical traits and six blood lipids. Transcriptomic analysis of paired skeletal muscle biopsies identified 505 differentially expressed genes enriched in mitochondrial function and insulin sensitivity. Thousands of muscle-specific e/sQTLs were detected pre- and post- intervention, including hundreds of lifestyle-responsive e/sQTLs. Notably, approximately 4.2% of eQTLs and 7.3% of sQTLs showed Asian specificity. Joint analysis with GWAS identified 16 putative metabolic risk genes. Our study reveals gene-by-lifestyle interactions and how lifestyle modulates gene regulation in skeletal muscle.

• Systems genetics in human endothelial cells identifies non-coding variants modifying enhancers, expression, and complex disease traits

  Identification of causal variants and mechanisms underlying complex disease traits in humans requires strategies to locate and fine-map functional regulatory variants in disease-relevant cell types. To discover functional regulatory variants in primary aortic endothelial cells (ECs) from humans, we collected genetic, transcriptomic, and four epigenomic phenotypes in a population of 153 human donors representing individuals of both sexes and three major ancestries. We found thousands of EC eQTLs that were not present in GTEx at all ranges of effect sizes, indicating novel functional variants not observable from tissue data. We performed several epigenetic assays across 53 donors' EC to enable molecular QTL mapping, which included chromatin accessibility, histone modification, and transcription factor binding of proteins ERG and NF-kB/p65 in two activation states. We discovered over 3000 regulatory elements where cis-regulatory variants associated to significant differences in epigenetic marks. Co-localization with our eQTLs, TF motif mutations, and 3D confirmation capture data in ECs enabled our discovery of hundreds of high-confidence functional regulatory elements that perturb endothelial molecular phenotypes. Furthermore, this set of variants is enriched at GWAS loci for Coronary Artery disease and other disease traits, with some SNPs demonstrating pleiotropic effects. Together, our dataset and analytical approach provide the genetics and vascular biology communities with specific variants affecting EC biology and serves as a proof-of-principle for how to detect functional regulatory variants in human cells with relevance to complex traits.

• The evolution of hematopoietic cells under cancer therapy

  Chemotherapies may increase mutagenesis of healthy cells and change the selective pressures in tissues thus influencing their evolution. However, their contributions to the mutation burden and clonal expansions of healthy somatic tissues are not clear. Here, exploiting the mutational footprint of some chemotherapies, we explore their influence on the evolution of hematopoietic cells. Cells of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) secondary to treatment with platinum-based drugs showed the mutational footprint of these drugs, indicating that non-malignant blood cells received chemotherapy mutations. No trace of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) mutational signature was found in AML secondary to exposure to 5FU, suggesting that cells establishing the AML were quiescent during treatment. Using the platinum-based mutational signature as a barcode, we determined that secondary AMLs began their clonal expansion after the start of the cytotoxic treatment. Its absence in clonal hematopoiesis cases is consistent with a clonal expansion that predates the exposure to the cytotoxic agent.

• Detecting and tracking circulating tumour DNA copy number profiles during first line chemotherapy in oesophagogastric adenocarcinoma

  DNA somatic copy number aberrations (SCNAs) are key drivers in oesophago-gastric adenocarcinoma (OGA). Whether minimally invasive SCNA analysis of circulating tumour (ct)DNA can predict treatment outcomes and reveal how SCNAs evolve during chemotherapy is unknown. We investigated this by low-coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS) of ctDNA from 30 patients with advanced OGA prior to first-line chemotherapy and on progression.

• The genomic landscape of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia

  Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer and arises from B- or T-lineage lymphocyte precursors. ALL comprises dozens of subtypes, and genomic analyses have largely been performed within these subtypes. Here we analyze pediatric ALL genomes across all subtypes, including 768 whole genomes, 1,729 exomes, and 1,889 transcriptomes in 2,754 patients. Most ALL subtypes harbor 4 or more driver alterations per sample, similar to adult cancers, despite low mutation burdens. Hyperdiploid B-ALL copy gains are likely acquired early and synchronously, with copy gains occurring before ultraviolet-induced mutations. By contrast, ultraviolet-induced mutations precede copy gains in iAMP21 B-ALL. Overall, we identified 378 putative ALL driver genes. Most driver alterations vary in prevalence across ALL subtypes, with B-ALL enriched for Ras and B-lineage-related alterations, and T-ALL enriched for PI3K, JAK, and cell cycle alterations. Most B-ALL (54.3%) and T-ALL (51.2%) samples bear at least one rare driver gene alteration (present in less than 2% of samples), including 30 putative novel cancer driver genes associated with ubiquitination, SUMOylation, non-coding, and other functions. Known or novel alterations associated with poor outcomes in specific subtypes include TBL1XR1 alterations in ETV6-RUNX1 patients, CREBBP in Ph-like-CRLF2, SETD2 in hyperdiploid, and PTEN in TAL1 patients. Intriguingly, DUX4 and KMT2A subtypes separate into CEBPA/FLT3- or NFATC4-expressing subgroups with potential clinical implications. Together, these results deepen understanding of ALL etiology and outcomes, and facilitate ALL model development.

• Deciphering the genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic landscapes of pre-invasive lung cancer lesions to determine prognosis

  Background: Lung carcinoma-in-situ (CIS) lesions are the pre-invasive precursor to lung squamous cell carcinoma. However, only half progress to invasive cancer in three years, while a third spontaneously regress. Whether modern molecular profiling techniques can identify those pre-invasive lesions that will subsequently progress and distinguish them from those that will regress is unknown. Methods: Progressive and regressive CIS lesions were laser-captured and their genome, epigenome and transcriptome interrogated. We analysed 83 progressive lesions, 41 regressive and 33 normal epithelial control samples. DNA methylation and gene expression profiles were further validated using publicly available lung cancer data. Results: Somatic mutation burden was higher in progressive lesions than regressive CIS lesions, across base substitutions, rearrangements, and copy number changes. Driver mutations were present in both progressive and regressive CIS lesions, but were more numerous in progressive cases. Progressive and regressive CIS lesions had distinct epigenomic and transcriptional profiles, with a strong chromosomal instability signature. Gene expression, methylation and copy number profiles can all predict accurately which CIS lesions will progress to lung cancer. Conclusion: Pre-invasive CIS lesions that will subsequently progress to invasive lung cancer can be distinguished from those that will regress using molecular profiling. Progression is associated with a strong chromosomal instability signature. These findings inform the development of novel therapeutic targets.

• Sequencing of Coding and Non-coding Regions in Primary Breast Cancers and Patient-matched Controls

  Genomic analysis of tumor samples has led to the identification of hundreds of cancer genes based on the presence of mutations in protein-coding regions. By contrast, much less is known about cancer-causing mutations in non-coding regions. Here, we performed deep sequencing in 360 primary breast cancers and developed computational methods to identify significantly mutated promoters. Clear signals were found in the promoters of four genes. FOXA1, a known driver of hormone-receptor positive breast cancer, harbors a mutational hotspot in its promoter that leads to overexpression through increased E2F binding. RMRP and NEAT1, two non-coding RNA genes, carry mutations that alter protein binding to the promoter and impact expression levels. Overall, our study shows that recurrent mutations in or near gene promoters in cancers have functional consequences. Power analyses indicate that more such genes remain to be discovered through deep sequencing of adequately sized patient cohorts.

• Mutational Mechanisms in Multiply Relapsed Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

  Pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is marked by low mutational load at initial diagnosis, which increases at relapse. To determine which processes are active in (relapsed) ALL and how they behave during disease progression before and after therapy, we performed whole genome sequencing on tumor samples of 29 multiply relapsed ALL patients. Mutational load increased upon relapse in 28 patients and every subsequent relapse in 22 patients, with UV-like damage, APOBEC activity, reactive oxygen species, thiopurine-associated damage and an unknown therapy component driving mutagenesis. Thiopurines were the most prominent source of new mutations in relapse, affecting over half of the studied patients and causing potential relapse-driving mutations in multiple patients. Mutational processes often affected patients over longer time periods, but could also occur in isolated events, suggesting the requirement of additional triggers. Our data pose mutational processes as prominent secondary drivers with an important role in ALL development and progression.

• Precision Medicine for ABCA4 Disease: Modifier Alleles

  Genetic variation affecting the structure and function of the ABCA4 protein gives rise to a broad collection of genetically and clinically heterogeneous diseases, collectively known as ABCA4 disease, which are characterized by both phenotypic overlap and variable penetrance and expressivity. These include autosomal recessive Stargardt disease, cone-rod dystrophy, occult maculopathy, bull's eye macular dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa-like retinal dystrophy, etc. Some phenotypic variation can be attributed to variability of highly penetrant ABCA4 mutations; however, much of the heterogeneity cannot be explained by ABCA4 mutations alone. The concept of Precision Medicine requires, by definition, identification of all genetic variation contributing to specific disease phenotypes. The main goal of this study is to identify all genetic variation resulting in phenotypes compatible with ABCA4 disease, which, in addition to biallelic disease-causing variants in the ABCA4 locus, include cis- and trans-acting modifiers and mutations in genes other than ABCA4.The study was carried out by performing whole exome sequencing (WES) of affected individuals to identify causal and modifying genetic variation for patients with macular dystrophies compatible with ABCA4 disease. All samples were sequenced with the IDT's Exome Research Panel Version 1 with SeqCap EZ Exome v2 and SeqCap EZ Exome v3 capture kits. Samples were sequenced on Illumina next-generation sequencing machines (San Diego, CA, USA) using DRAGEN Bio-IT Platform v. 2.5.1 (Illumina) to align reads to the Genome Reference Consortium Human Build 37, calling variants in accordance with the Genome Analysis Tool Kit (GATK, v.4.0.2.1) Best Practices Workflow, using ATAV (v.7.0.16) variant-calling pipeline. Variants for analysis were restricted to the consensus coding sequencing public transcripts (CCDS release 20) plus 2 base pair (bp) intronic extensions. Variants were annotated using ClinEff (DnaMiner) with Ensembl-HGRCh37.73 annotations.This set of WES data from unrelated patients of different racial and ethnic backgrounds can be stored and shared through dbGaP. These data provide information on frequencies of disease-causing variants in genes other than ABCA4 in patients with macular dystrophies. These also provide frequencies of selected pathogenic and none-pathogenic variants in different ethnicities.

• A Single-Cell and Spatial Atlas of Early Human Olfactory Development

  The human nasal region is a complex structure derived from neural crest and placodal lineages, but its development remains poorly understood due to limited fetal tissue access and its intricate architecture. To address this, we created a single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomic atlas of the human fetal nasal region using tissue from 10 fetuses between 7 and 12 post-conceptional weeks. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) revealed 34 distinct cell types, including epithelial, cartilaginous, immune, neuronal, glial, muscular, and vascular cells. By integrating snRNA-seq with multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH), we tracked dynamic changes in cell composition and gene expression over time in the olfactory epithelium (OE) and surrounding nasal regions. We identified novel markers of olfactory sensory neuron development and key pathways regulating epithelial patterning and OE morphogenesis. Notably, we observed early molecular signatures consistent with the "one neuron-one receptor" model, with spatially organized expression of 171 olfactory receptor genes. Together, this study presents the first integrated molecular and spatial framework of early human nasal development. It offers an unprecedented molecular blueprint of olfactory system formation and serves as a foundational resource for embryologists and developmental biologists studying sensory neurogenesis, epithelial patterning, and congenital disorders.

• Genomic Tumor Correlates of Clinical Outcomes Following Organ-Sparing Chemoradiation Therapy for Bladder Cancer

  Bladder preservation with trimodality therapy (TMT), consisting of transurethral tumor resection followed by chemoradiation, is an alternative to radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), but molecular determinants of response are poorly understood. Patients with cT2-T4aN0M0 MIBC treated with definitive-intent chemoradiation as part of TMT were retrospectively identified from a single institution between 1986-2015. Pre-treatment Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tumors from 76 MIBC patients were subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES). Our integrated analysis yielded insights into molecular features associated with favorable long-term response to TMT, including alterations in DNA damage response genes. Of these, mutations in ERCC2, a DNA helicase in the nucleotide excision repair pathway, were significantly associated with improved long-term outcomes after TMT, particularly in patients who received concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

• National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III (NESARC-III)

  The National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III (NESARC-III) is a nationally representative cross-sectional survey of the U.S. general population, which was sponsored by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and conducted in 2012-2013. The NESARC-III's target population was the U.S. noninstitutionalized civilian population, 18 years and older, including residents of selected group quarters (e.g., group homes, workers' dormitories). Multistage probability sampling was used to randomly select respondents. Primary sampling units (PSUs) were individual counties or groups of contiguous counties, secondary sampling units (SSU) comprised groups of Census-defined blocks, and tertiary sampling units were households within SSUs. Finally, eligible adults within sampled households were randomly selected. Hispanics, Blacks, and Asians were oversampled and resulted in a total of 36,309 respondents. All respondents provided informed consent for survey participation. Data were adjusted for oversampling and screener - and person-level nonresponse, then weighted through post-stratification to represent the US civilian population based on the 2012 American Community Survey. These weighting adjustments were found to compensate adequately for nonresponse. Interviewer field methods involved initial structured home study, in-person training, ongoing supervision, and random respondent callbacks to verify data. The NESARC-III collected information on alcohol and drug consumption, alcohol use disorder, other substance use disorders (e.g., nicotine, cannabis and opioid), and associated physical and psychiatric adverse consequences. In addition to a full array of sociodemographic characteristics such as race/ethnicity, gender, age, risk and environmental factors including adverse childhood experiences (e.g., sexual, physical abuse and neglect) and family history for alcohol, drug use disorders and other psychiatric disorders (e.g., mood, anxiety, personality disorders and PTSD) were included (phenotypic variables=4,320). As part of the NESARC-III, 22,848 informative samples were genotyped on Affymetrix Axiom Exome Array consisting of 319,283 SNPs and 103,404 custom-selected SNPs Array (refer to the SNP annotation file). The latter array was selected based on the addiction associated genes, the results of 5 GWAS of alcohol and other psychiatric disorders, and animal models with addiction phenotypes. After filtering out poor quality SNPs using the standard Affymetrix pipeline there are 295,218 SNPs in the NESARC-III genetic data. The 22,848 subjects in this study were all deeply and consistently phenotyped via structured diagnostic interview. Controls group can be selected for specific disorders from a pool of all samples. Here are numbers of cases for major DSM-5 mental disorders in NESARC-III genetic data: Alcohol use disorder (7,075); Nicotine use disorder (6,641); Drug use disorder (2,570); Major depressive disorder (5,214); Persistent depression(1,429); Bipolar I (543); Anxiety disorders (4,226); PTSD (1,674); Personality disorders (4,014); Eating Disorders (457).

• Human Dicer is required for cell-intrinsic immunity to self-dsRNA

  Self-derived double-stranded RNAs (self-dsRNAs) can activate cell-intrinsic innate immune responses and contribute to autoinflammation. We uncover an essential role for human Dicer in innate immune responses to self-dsRNA. Loss of Dicer disrupts RIG-I-like receptor-dependent type I interferon (IFN-I) induction and activation of both the PKR and OAS1-3/RNAse L pathway in conditions where self-dsRNA accumulates, such as cells lacking ADAR1, PNPase, hnRNPC, or MPP8. In contrast, Dicer does not affect the IFN-I response triggered by exogenous dsRNA. Dicer interacts with LGP2, G3BP1, and Staufen1 and loss of these proteins similarly impairs IFN-I induction by self-dsRNAs. Depletion of Dicer and G3BP1 reduces the accumulation of immunostimulatory self-dsRNAs, while depletion of Dicer and Staufen1 prevents MDA5 oligomerization. We conclude that Dicer regulates self-dsRNA availability and sensing, aided by G3BP1 and Staufen1, respectively. Our findings highlight a non-canonical role for Dicer in innate immune activation by self-dsRNA and pinpoint new drug targets in autoinflammatory disorders.

• Whole Exome and Transcriptome Sequencing in Sporadic ALS

  Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a fatal and devastating neurodegenerative disorder that causes the progressive death of upper and lower motor neurons. Although many efforts have been done to elucidate molecular factors involved in the onset and progression of the disorder, the causes of ALS are yet unknown and undefined. Transcriptome studies, based mostly on microarrays, have revealed multiple perturbations of the motor neuron function, supporting the current idea that several cellular events contribute to the pathobiology of the disease, including mitochondrial dysfunction, enhanced apoptosis, glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity, free radical injury, protein misfolding, abnormal calcium metabolism and altered axonal transport. In the present study, we have deeply sequenced the whole transcriptome of ventral horns of the human lumbar spinal cord from matched control and ALS post-mortem donors. Whole exome sequencing from the same donors has also been performed to exclude known genetic variants associated to the familiar form of ALS. In addition, to characterize the ALS transcriptome we have sequenced the RNA fraction at low molecular weight in the same tissues and individuals. Genomic and transcriptomic reads have been generated using the Illumina HiSeq2000 sequencer.

• Clinical relevance of somatic copy-number alterations in plasma circulating tumor DNA from advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients treated with osimertinib

  Background: Somatic copy-number alterations (SCNAs) are associated with drug resistance in patients with advanced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The purpose of our study was to assess the clinical relevance and development of genome-wide SCNAs in plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) under osimertinib therapy.Methods: We included 43 patients with advanced EGFR T790M-positive lung adenocarcinoma who were treated with osimertinib after progression under previous EGFR-TKI therapy. We performed genomic profiling of ctDNA in plasma samples from each patient obtained pre-osimertinib and after patients developed resistance to osimertinib. SCNAs were detected by shallow whole-genome plasma sequencing and EGFR mutations were assessed by droplet digital PCR.Results: SCNAs in resistance-related genes (rrSCNAs) were detected in 10 out of 39 (25.6%) evaluable patients before start of osimertinib. The presence of rrSCNAs in plasma before initiation of osimertinib therapy was associated with a lower response rate to osimertinib (50% versus 86%, p=0.02) and was an independent predictor for shorter progression-free survival (adjusted HR 3.26, 95% CI 1.37-7.75, p=0.008) and overall survival (adjusted HR 2.41, 95% CI 1.09-5.34, p=0.03).Conclusions: Genomic profiling of plasma ctDNA is clinically relevant and affects the efficacy and clinical outcome of osimertinib. Our approach allows comprehensive assessment of SCNAs in plasma samples of lung adenocarcinoma patients and may help to guide genotype-specific therapeutic strategies in the future.

• DNA methylation-based classification of sinonasal tumors [Proteomics data]

  The diagnosis of sinonasal tumors is challenging due to a heterogeneous spectrum of various differential diagnoses as well as poorly defined, disputed entities such as sinonasal undifferentiated carcinomas (SNUCs). In this study, we apply a machine learning algorithm based on DNA methylation patterns to classify sinonasal tumors with clinical-grade reliability. We further show that sinonasal tumors with SNUC morphology are not as undifferentiated as their current terminology suggests but rather reassigned to four distinct molecular classes defined by epigenetic, mutational and proteomic profiles. This includes two classes with neuroendocrine differentiation, characterized by IDH2 or SMARCA4/ARID1A mutations with an overall favorable clinical course, one class composed of highly aggressive SMARCB1-deficient carcinomas and another class with tumors that represent previously misclassified adenoid cystic carcinomas. The repository includes the raw mass spectrometry-based proteomics data

• Whole Exome Sequencing of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

  We performed massively parallel whole exome sequencing of 55 primary tumor samples from patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and matched normal tissue. We identified recurrent mutations in genes that are well known to be functionally relevant in DLBCL, as well as in genes for which a functional role in DLBCL has not been previously suspected. Significantly mutated genes include MYD88, CARD11, EZH2, CREBBP, as well as MEF2B, MLL2, BTG1, GNA13, ACTB, P2RY8, PCLO and TNFRSF14. Analysis of somatic mutations in patients with DLBCL also revealed that BCL2 mutations commonly occur in patients with BCL2/IgH rearrangements as a result of somatic hypermutation normally occurring at the IgH locus. The BCL2 point mutations are primarily synonymous, likely caused by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID)-mediated somatic hypermutation, and those non-synonymous mutations that are observed tend to be found outside of the functionally important BH domains of the protein, suggesting that strong negative selection against BCL2 loss-of-function mutations is at play. We further identified genes with mutations that are likely to be functionally relevant despite being mutated at a low rate. These genes include KRAS, BRAF and NOTCH1 as likely drivers of DLBCL pathogenesis in some patients.In order to facilitate additional in vitro and in vivo analyses of the discrete molecular clusters and associated targeted therapies in preclinical models, we also performed our subtyping analysis on 28 Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) cell lines. We performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on these cell lines to capture structural variants (SVs), from which we obtained full genetic characterization and segregation of these cell lines into our previously defined molecular clusters by DLBclass assignment. These analyses are available in an interactive DLBclass portal available to the public. Our data provide an unbiased view of the landscape of mutations in DLBCL. These data may point towards new targets for the treatment of DLBCL.
