• An autoinflammatory RIG-I variant causing Singleton-Merten Syndrome associates with small non-coding Y-RNAs

  The RNA sensor RIG-I performs a critical role in surveying the cytoplasm for the presence of viral nucleic acids and initiating the downstream anti-viral type I interferon pathway. Through recognition of specific features, such as the presence of a 5’ di/triphosphate motif or highly structured base-paired regions, RIG-I effectively differentiates between RNA of viral- and self-origin. In Singleton-Merten syndrome (SMS), gain-of-function variants in RIG-I lead to a breakdown in this surveillance system and results in aberrant sensing of self-RNAs and deleterious upregulation of type I interferons. The identity of the self-RNAs binding to gain-of-function RIG-I mutants has remained elusive and would provide a greater understanding of the aetiology of SMS. Here we used an infrared individual-nucleotide resolution UV-crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (irCLIP) approach to determine the RNA profile bound to a previously characterised ATPase-deficient SMS variant, RIG-IC268F. irCLIP identified a broad array of self-RNAs, primarily those transcribed by RNA polymerase III, that were bound to RIG-I. Subsequent native RNA immunoprecipitation confirmed a prominent and specific interaction between RIG-IC268F and Y-RNAs, a family of four structurally similar non-coding RNAs. Manipulation of Y-RNAs alone by targeting either Y-RNA transcripts or Y-RNA stabilising proteins was insufficient to negate RIG-I induce interferon, hinting at a broader profile of RNA polymerase III-derived RNAs being influential in driving the sterile activation of gain-of-function RIG-I variants.

• C3 SNPs and outcome after lung transplantation

  Background: Development of chronic rejection is still a severe problem and causes high mortality rates after lung transplantation (LTx). Complement activation is important in the development of acute rejection (AR) and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, with C3 as a key complement factor. Methods: Since a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the C3 gene (rs2230199) is associated with long-term outcome after solid organ transplantation, we investigated this SNP in relation to LTx. In addition, we looked at local production of C3 by analyzing bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of LTx patients using isoelectric focusing (IEF). Results: We demonstrated the presence of C3 in BALF and showed that this is produced by the donor lung based on the genotype of SNP rs2230199. We also analyzed donor and patient SNP configurations and observed a significant association between the SNP configuration in patients and episodes of AR during 4-years follow-up. Survival analysis showed a lower AR-free survival in homozygous C3 slow patients (p=0.005). Furthermore, we found a significant association between the SNP configuration in donors and BOS development. Patients receiving a graft from a donor with at least one C3 fast variant for rs2230199 had an inferior BOS-free survival (p=0.044). Conclusions: In conclusion, our data indicate local C3 production by donor lung cells. In addition, a single C3 SNP present in recipients affects short-term outcome after LTx, while this SNP in donors has an opposite effect on long-term outcome after LTx. These results could contribute to an improved risk stratification after transplantation.

• Somatic mutations predict an aggressive phenotype in meningioma but do not drive grade progression

  A subset of meningiomas progress in histopathological grade and drivers of progression are poorly understood. We aimed to identify somatic mutations and copy number alterations (CNAs) associated with grade progression in a unique matched tumour dataset. Utilising a prospective database, we identified 10 patients with meningiomas that had undergone grade progression and for whom matched pre- and post-progression tissue (n=50 samples) was available for targeted next-generation sequencing. Mutations in NF2 were identified in 4/10 patients, 94% were non-skull base tumours. In one patient, three different NF2 mutations were identified in four tumours. NF2 mutated tumours showed large scale CNAs, with highly recurrent losses in 1p, 10, 22q, and frequent CNAs on chromosomes 2, 3 and 4. There was a correlation between grade and CNAs in a subset of patients. In two patients with sphenoid wing Grade III tumours without detected NF2 mutations, a STAT6-NAB2 inversion was identified. Two patients with tumours without detected NF2 mutations showed a combination of loss and high gain on chromosome 17q. Mutations in SETD2, TP53, TERT promoter and NF2 were not uniform across recurrent tumours and did not correspond with grade progression. Meningiomas that progress in grade generally have a mutational profile already detectable in the pre-progressed tumour, suggesting an aggressive phenotype . CNA profiling shows frequent alterations in NF2 mutated tumours compared to non NF2 mutated tumours and the pattern of CNAs may be associated with grade progression in a subset of cases.

• Accurate mutation detection in leukemia by re-sequencing a cancer gene set

  With the advent of whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing, high-quality catalogs of recurrently mutated cancer genes are becoming available for many cancer types. Increasing access to sequencing technology, including bench-top sequencers, provide the opportunity to re-sequence a limited set of cancer genes across a patient cohort with limited processing time. Here, we re-sequenced a set of cancer genes in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) using the Roche/454 technology coupled with Nimblegen sequence capture. First, we investigated how a maximal sensitivity and specificity of mutation detection can be achieved through a benchmark study. We tested nine combinations of different mapping and variant-calling methods, varied the variant calling parameters, and compared the predicted mutations with a large independent validation set obtained by capillary re-sequencing. We found that the combination of two mapping algorithms, namely BWA-SW and SSAHA2, coupled with the variant calling algorithm Atlas-SNP2 yields the highest sensitivity (95%) and the highest specificity (93%). Next, we applied this analysis pipeline to identify mutations in a set of 58 cancer genes, in a panel of 18 T-ALL cell lines and 15 T-ALL patient samples. We confirmed mutations in known T-ALL drivers, including PHF6, NF1, FBXW7, NOTCH1, KRAS, NRAS, PIK3CA, and PTEN. Interestingly, we also found mutations in several cancer genes that had not been linked to T-ALL before, including JAK3. Finally, we re-sequenced a small set of 39 candidate genes and identified recurrent mutations in TET1, SPRY3 and SPRY4. In conclusion, we established an optimized analysis pipeline for Roche/454 data that can be applied to accurately detect gene mutations in cancer, which led to the identification of several new candidate T-ALL driver mutations.

• Family Genomics of Congenital Heart Defects

  The study identified the causal mutation in a five-generation pedigree harboring a cardiac septal defect. The inheritance pattern is consistent with an autosomal dominant mutation with high penetrance. We performed whole-genome sequencing (Complete Genomics) on 21 individuals in the pedigree, of which 11 individuals are affected. We identified a single gene, GATA4, as primarily responsible for this cardiac phenotype in this pedigree.

• Microenvironment subtypes and association with tumor cell mutations and antigen expression in follicular lymphoma

  Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a B-cell lymphoma with a complex tumor microenvironment that is rich in non-malignant immune cells. We applied single-cell RNA-sequencing to characterize the immune microenvironment of FL. This provides a classification framework of the FL microenvironment, their association with FL genotypes and antigen presentation, and informs different potential immunotherapeutic strategies.

• Allogeneic induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell-derived cartilage transplantation for articular cartilage damage in knee joints: a phase I, first-in-human study

  Damaged articular cartilage seldom heals due to a limited capacity for self-repair, frequently leading to osteoarthritis. Regenerative interventions are expected to heal the damage. We have recently established a method to produce cartilage from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in a clinically applicable process. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the safety including tumorigenesis and the subsequence efficacy of allogeneic iPSC-derived cartilage transplantation into damaged areas of knee articular cartilage.

• Analysis of the Genetic Basis of Height in Large Jewish Nuclear Families

  This is a family based study of the genetic basis of height, which focused on very large nuclear families (10 siblings or more, average of 12), all from a founder (Jewish) population. All participants have completed their growth. This study design increases the frequency of some genetic variants that are rare in a cosmopolitan population but segregate in our cohort. Participants were genotyped with a ~630,000 SNP array (Affymetrix Axiom Biobank), and their standing height, sitting height and arm span were measured with high accuracy (±0.1 cm, with 4 technical repeats). All genomic coordinates refer to genome build hg19.

• Merkel Cell Carcinoma Tissue and Data Repository

  Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer with increasing incidence in the United States. In this study we performed the first whole genome sequencing of three Merkel cell carcinomas with their matched normal tissues for somatic variant calling. From these data we describe the likely mechanism of Merkel cell polyomavirus integration and focal host genomic amplifications in two tumors and the dominance of UV-mediated mutagenesis in a virus-negative tumor. We also performed poly-A RNA sequencing on a total of six Merkel cell carcinomas to address expression differences between virus-positive and virus-negative MCC.

• Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program in Bladder Exstrophy, Epispadias, Complex (BEEC)

  Urogenital anomalies account for 20-30% of prenatally detected structural defects. Bladder Exstrophy Epispadias Complex (BEEC) describes a subset of anomalies with a spectrum of developmental defects ranging from a mild form of epispadias, to classic bladder exstrophy, to omphalocele, exstrophy, imperforate anus, spinal anomalies (OEIS) complex. Patients with BEEC suffer substantial morbidity and mortality due to impaired genito-urinary dysfunction. The etiology of BEEC is largely unknown. Elucidating the underlying genetic component is critical to gaining a better understanding of the developmental signaling pathways and is likely the first step to developing targeted therapy.

• Enabling sensitive and precise detection of ctDNA through somatic copy number aberrations in breast cancer

  Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) extracted from peripheral blood has emerged as a crucial biomarker source in oncology research. To enhance the detection of somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), we developed eSENSES, a 2Mb breast cancer-targeted NGS panel. It includes 15,000 genome-wide SNPs, 500 focal SNPs in breast cancer driver regions, and exons from 81 commonly altered genes, alongside a custom computational approach. eSENSES provides a reliable, powerful and cost-effective tool for monitoring disease progression and guiding therapeutic decisions in breast cancer patients.

• INfluenza Vaccine to Effectively Stop Cardio Thoracic Events and Decompensated Heart Failure (INVESTED)

  INVESTED was planned as a large, adequately powered, multicenter trial to assess the cardiopulmonary benefit of high- compared with standard-dose influenza vaccine in a high-risk cardiovascular population. In contrast to more complex interventions in patients with cardiac disease, the major potential benefits of this intervention are a) the ease of administration, b) low cost, c) 100% vaccination adherence and d) well established and extremely low risk. This trial, if positive, has the potential to substantially impact a major population attributable CV risk, change practice, and inform health policy by boosting utilization of influenza vaccination.

• The_Causes_of_Clonal_Blood_Cell_Disorders_Study___SCOR

  We will take a bone marrow aspirate and peripheral blood samples from a healthy patient aged around 60, and use flow cytometry to isolate 100 HSCs, 50 MEPs, and 50 GMPs. We will grow these up into colonies, then whole genome sequence each colony. Somatic mutations will act as a unique barcode for each clone. We will then design a panel for targeted resequencing of the mutations that we find. It will then be possible to look for these mutations in the peripheral blood over several years, to see the dynamics of how HSCs contribute to the peripheral blood in health.

• Congenital_anosmia_1

  Congenital anosmias can be complete (the lack of a sense of smell) or specific (the inability to detect specific smells). To date, only a single recessive gene underlying complete anosmia has been identified. Here we sequenced the exomes of 10 individuals from a single family, including three with complete anosmia, across three generations to identify the genetic basis of congenital anosmia in this family. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• A spatiotemporal cancer cell trajectory underlies glioblastoma heterogeneity

  Abstract: Cancer cells display highly heterogeneous and plastic states in glioblastoma, an incurable brain tumour. However, how these malignant states arise and whether they follow a tractable cellular trajectory across tumours is poorly understood. Here, we generated a deep single cell and spatial multi-omic atlas of human glioblastoma that pairs transcriptomic, epigenomic and genomic profiling of 12 tumours across multiple regions. We identify that glioblastoma heterogeneity is driven by spatially-patterned transitions of cancer cells from developmental-like states towards those defined by a glial injury response and hypoxia. This cancer cell trajectory regionalizes tumours into distinct tissue niches and manifests in a conserved manner across tumours as well as genetically distinct tumour subclones. Moreover, using a new deep learning framework to jointly map cancer cell states and clones in situ, we show that tumour subclones are finely spatially intermixed through glioblastoma tissue niches. Finally, we show that this cancer cell trajectory is intimately linked to myeloid heterogeneity and unfolds across regionalised myeloid signalling environments. Our findings define a stereotyped trajectory of cancer cells in glioblastoma and unify glioblastoma tumour heterogeneity into a tractable cellular and tissue framework.

• Genetic contributions of lupus nephritis in a multi-ethnic cohort of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

  Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and it occurs at a much higher rate in patients that are not of European descent. The purpose of this study is to identify genetic variants contributing to the risk of LN in a multi-ethnic cohort of SLE patients. We used a comprehensive genome-wide screen and 1244 SLE patients from 5 different ethnic groups. In genome-wide gene-based and candidate SNP analyses, we found distinct genes and pathways, and established risk SNPs associated with lupus nephritis for each ethnic group. This study represents progress in elucidating the genetic underpinnings driving LN among SLE patients of different ethnic groups.

• Longitudinal Multi'omics of the Human Microbiome in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBDMDB)

  Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), affect millions of individuals worldwide. The Integrative Human Microbiome Project (HMP2) characterized a total of 132 CD, UC and non-IBD patients across a year to generate longitudinal molecular profiles of host and microbial activity during this time frame. A total of 2,965 stool, biopsy and blood specimens were produced and analyzed from this cohort. A comprehensive view of the gut microbiome's functional dysbiosis during IBD activity was derived from analyzed samples each providing a different window into disease activity. The study's resources, results and data are available through the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Multi'omics Database (IBDMDB) provide the most comprehensive description of host and microbial activities in IBD to date.

• Single Cell Analysis of Pulmonary Fibrosis

  Pulmonary fibrosis is a heterogenous syndrome in which fibrotic scar replaces normal lung tissue. We performed massively parallel single-cell RNA-Seq on lung tissue from eight lung transplant donors and eight patients with pulmonary fibrosis. Combined with in situ RNA hybridization, with amplification, these data provide a molecular atlas of disease pathobiology. We identified a distinct, novel population of profibrotic alveolar macrophages exclusively in patients with fibrosis. Within epithelial cells, the expression of genes involved in Wnt secretion and response was restricted to non-overlapping cells. We identified rare cell populations including airway stem cells and senescent cells emerging during pulmonary fibrosis. Analysis of a cryobiopsy specimen from a patient with early disease supports the clinical application of single-cell RNA-Seq to develop personalized approaches to therapy.
