• Somatic mutations and single cell transcriptomes reveal the root of malignant rhabdoid tumours

  Like many childhood cancers, malignant rhabdoid tumours (MRT) are thought to arise from aberrant foetal development. Although MRT predominantly exhibit a mesenchymal phenotype, it has been suggested that the foetal root of MRT lies in neural crest development. Here, we combine phylogenetic analyses of MRT, single cell mRNA assays, and functional experiments in patient-derived MRT organoids, to define the embryological origin of MRT and explore therapeutic avenues that may drive MRT differentiation. Phylogenetic analyses from the distribution of somatic mutations revealed that MRT were related to neural crest-derived, but not to mesodermal tissues, providing direct evidence of the neural crest origin of MRT in humans. In MRT organoids, reversal of the principal driver event underpinning MRT, SMARCB1 loss, induced differentiation along mesenchymal pathways. Together, these findings placed MRT cells on a developmental trajectory of neural crest to mesenchyme conversion, and defined the transcriptional changes underpinning MRT differentiation. Searching perturbation databases for agents that mimic these mRNA changes, we identified HDAC and mTOR inhibition as potential differentiation agents. Treatment of MRT organoids with this drug combination induced proliferation arrest with transcriptional changes akin to SMARCB1 re-expression. Our study defines the embryological root of MRT and proposes a differentiation treatment for this often fatal childhood cancer.

• 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.

• GoNL aligned sequence data in BAM format.

  We mapped the data to the UCSC human reference genome build 37 using BWA 0.5.9-r16. We first mapped each read pair separately using bwa aln. Then we used bwa sampe to map the paired reads together to a BAM9 file. The BAM file was then sorted by genomic position and indexed using PicardTools-1.32 SortSam. To prevent PCR artifacts from influencing the downstream analysis of our data, we used Picard to mark the duplicate reads, which were ignored in downstream analysis. We used GATK IndelRealigner on our data around known indels (from 1KG Pilot). The IndelRealigner creates all possible read alignments using the source and computes the likelihood of the data containing the indel based on the read pileup. Whenever the maximum likelihood contains an indel, the reads are realigned accordingly. Each base is associated with a phred-scaled base quality score. Calibration of Phred scores is crucial as they are used in some of the downstream analysis models. We used GATK to recalibrate the base qualities with respect to (i) the base cycle, (ii) original quality score, and (iii) dinucleotide context. To minimize issues stemming from mapping problems around indels, we decided to undergo a second round of indel realignment using the GATK IndelRealigner by family rather than by individual. For this second round, we considered two sources of possible indels: 1KG Phase 1 indels and indels aligned by BWA in the GoNL data.

• A Genomic Approach to Warfarin Dose Prescription in Admixed Caribbean Hispanics

  Warfarin is an oral anticoagulant and one of the most used drugs in the world accounting for up to 1.5% of prescriptions globally. Warfarin inhibits vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 (VKORC1), an enzyme responsible for the vitamin K recycling that is required for the activation of clotting factors. Warfarin is prescribed at an average dose of 5 mg/day for most of the indications but significant inter-patient variability has been observed. Single nucleotide variations at the VKORC1 (GeneID: 79001) and CYP2C9 (GeneID: 1559) genes alone explain from 28 to 35% of variability in warfarin dose requirements and up to 56% when clinical factors (age, gender, body surface area, diabetes and heart valve) are incorporated into regression analysis. However, genetic-guided dosing algorithms are mostly derived from studies in Europeans. The objective of the present study was to identify genetic polymorphisms that can explain variability in warfarin dose requirements among Caribbean Hispanics of Puerto Rico. VKORC1 (GeneID: 79001) and CYP2C9 (GeneID: 1559), the most important genetic predictors of warfarin response, were sequenced using Next Generation sequencing. Other candidate genes in DMET Plus Assay were assessed to identify genetic variants with relevance in warfarin dose requirements among Puerto Ricans. Our study used the Extreme Discordant Phenotype approach to perform a case-control association analysis that were confirmed with univariate and conditioned regressions. Accordingly, patients were stratified based on stable warfarin doses as sensitive (<4 mg/day), control (4-6 mg/day) and resistant (>6 mg/day). Genetic variants associated with warfarin response among the study cohort were used to perform a multivariate regression analyses to develop a genetic-guided dosing algorithm tailored for Puerto Ricans. The CYP2C9rs2860905 SNP was found to be strongly associated with warfarin dose requirements in Puerto Ricans. The CYP2C9 rs2860905 SNP tags four haplotypes that represent the trihybrid admixture of Puerto Ricans. Therefore, haplotypes harboring the rs2860905 variant are more informative in predicting warfarin dose among Puerto Ricans than the common single segregating SNPs (i.e., CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3) relevant to Europeans. DMET Plus array confirmed the strong association of VKORC1 (GeneID: 79001) and CYP2C9 (GeneID: 1559) with warfarin dose requirements, but also identified other polymorphisms in CES2 (GeneID: 8824) and ABCB1 (GeneID: 5243) associated with warfarin resistance (>6 mg/day). Ancestry analysis showed that Puerto Ricans from Veteran Affairs Caribbean Healthcare System (VACHS) using warfarin had higher Native American proportions than Puerto Ricans from the 1000 Genomes project; however, this difference was not significant. Incorporation of rs2860905 in a regression model (R2=0.60 MSE=0.38) that also included additional genetic predictors (i.e., VKORC1-1639G>A; CYP2C9 rs1856908; ABCB1 rs10276036; CES2 rs4783745) and non-genetic factors (i.e., hypertension, diabetes and age) showed better prediction of warfarin dose requirements than CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 combined (partial R2=0.132 versus 0.023 and 0.007, respectively, p<0.001). Interestingly, deep vein thrombosis and diabetes were found associated with high warfarin dose requirements among Puerto Ricans. Our results support the use of CYP2C9 rs2860905 along with other genetic markers [e.g., VKORC1(GeneID: 79001 )] and clinical covariates to predict warfarin dose in Puerto Ricans. Although our findings need further replication, this study contributes to the field of Pharmacogenetics and to improve anticoagulation therapy among Puerto Ricans.

• Incentives and Case Management to Improve Cardiac Care: Healthy Lifestyle Program (HeLP)

  Data Access NOTE: Please refer to the “Authorized Access” section below for information about how access to the data from this study.Objectives: The HeLP study assessed how early case management, financial incentives contingent on cardiac-rehabilitation attendance, or both impacted adherence to cardiac rehabilitation among patients with lower socioeconomic status (SES) who had a cardiac-rehabilitation-qualifying diagnosis. Background:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. Regular attendance at cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is the number one recommendation for patients who have experienced a recent cardiac event. CR is a secondary prevention outpatient program involving an individually tailored structured exercise program along with counseling and encouragement regarding lifestyle changes to reduce the recurrence of major cardiac events.Despite the benefits of CR attendance, enrollment and adherence to the program are low. This is particularly true of individuals of lower socioeconomic status (SES), who also generally suffer a higher burden from CVD on account of higher-risk cardiac profiles. As these profiles are the result of modifiable behavior targeted by CR (i.e., smoking, obesity, lack of physical activity), methods of increasing CR attendance among this population are necessary.Case management and financial incentives contingent on CR attendance are two potential strategies for addressing this issue. Previous studies have shown how trained case managers can support and assist patients with attending CR and improving their cardiac health, and how financial incentives can promote various types of health-related behavior. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate how these two interventions, individually and in tandem, fared at improving CR adherence among individuals of lower SES specifically. Participants:A total of 314 participants were screened, and 209 were randomized. All consented to have their data shared for research purposes. Design:Eligible patients were approached either while still in the hospital or during initial visits to CR. After obtaining informed consent, clinical and demographic characteristics (i.e., age, sex, education, race and ethnicity, smoking status, and CR-qualifying diagnosis) and depressive symptoms were collected. Participants then were randomized 2:3:3:3 to usual care (UC), case management starting in hospital (CM), financial incentives for attending CR (FI), or financial incentives plus case management (FICM). For all participants regardless of condition, an appropriate referral for CR was confirmed after randomization. Over the course of the study participants completed three assessments – one at intake, one after four months, and one after one year. Clinical (i.e., cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, and cardiac-related quality of life) and sociocognitive (i.e., Beck Depression Inventory, Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment, and Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function) measures were obtained at each assessment. Participants randomized to the UC condition were contacted weekly by study staff for adverse event checks, but received no additional intervention. Participants randomized to the CM condition were immediately assigned a case manager. Case managers met with their participants, usually within 24 hours of consent while they were still in the hospital, to introduce themselves during an initial check-in. Within the first week of consent they completed a longer, more thorough initial needs assessment with their participant and established behavioral goals. For the next 16 weeks, case managers met with their participants at least once a week, typically over the phone, to discuss progress on these goals and address any problems or barriers that had arisen. Case managers also were available via phone outside of these regular meetings during normal working hours and Saturday mornings. Participants randomized to the FI condition could earn money for completing an initial CR orientation and attending CR sessions. Twenty dollars could be earned for completing the CR orientation session. CR attendance was reinforced on an escalating schedule starting at $10. Payments increased by $2 for each successive session attended, and capped out at a maximum of $40 per session. Unexcused absences resulted in the incentives for that session not being earned, and the potential earnings for the next scheduled session being reset to $10. Successful participation of two consecutive sessions following the reset resulted in the incentives being returned to the amount prior to the reset. In total, participants could earn $1220 for attending the initial orientation and all 36 sessions of CR. The primary outcome of interest was the percentage of participants who completed at least 30 sessions of CR. Secondary outcomes included the number of sessions completed, cardiorespiratory fitness (peak VO2 and estimated metabolic equivalents (METs)), body composition (waist circumference and BMI), depression scores, and both general and cardiac-related qualify of life. Conclusions:The two interventions involving financial incentives (i.e., financial incentives alone and financial incentives plus case management) significantly improved CR adherence compared to usual care. Subsequent analyses revealed that the combination of financial incentives and case management led to greater improvements in CR attendance than financial incentives alone.
