• Detection and localization of surgically resectable cancers with a multi-analyte blood test

  Earlier detection is key to reducing cancer deaths. Here we describe a blood test that can detect eight common cancer types through assessment of the levels of circulating proteins and mutations in cell-free DNA. We applied this test, called CancerSEEK, to 1,005 patients with clinically detected cancers of the ovary, liver, stomach, pancreas, esophagus, colorectum, lung, or breast. CancerSEEK tests were positive in a median of 70% of the eight cancer types. The sensitivities ranged from 69% to 98% for the detection of five cancer types (ovary, liver, stomach, pancreas, and esophagus) for which there are no screening tests available for average-risk individuals. The specificity of CancerSEEK was > 99%: only 7 of 812 healthy controls scored positive. In addition, CancerSEEK localized the cancer to a small number of anatomic sites in a median of 83% of the patients.

• Molecular Sub-grouping of CNS-PNET

  In our study we aimed to define CNS-PNET subgroups. We performed Expression, Genotyping and/or Immunohistochemistry on 142 samples from 20 worldwide centers. Using these techniques, we have identified three molecular subgroups with distinct expression and copy number patterns, as well as, unique clinical characteristics. Specifically, these molecular subgroups were distinguished by primitive neural (group 1), oligoneural (group 2), and mesenchymal lineage (group 3) gene-expression signatures with differential expression of cell-lineage markers LIN28 and OLIG2. Our report underscores the importance of concerted, collaborative efforts to study large retrospective cohorts of tumours and patients to accelerate biological and ultimately therapeutic studies of rare tumours. The outcome of such a collaboration allowed us to identify LIN28 and OLIG2 as promising diagnostic and prognostic molecular markers for CNS PNET that warrant further assessment in prospective clinical trials.

• MuTHER_adipose_tissue_small_RNA_expression

  We investigate the naturally occurring variation of small RNA expression in conjunction with genetic and gene expression variation. We shall assess the variation in subabdominal fat tissue small RNA levels in 168 unrelated MuTHER individuals. Using gene expression data from the same samples, we can survey how much the small RNA expression contributes to the variance in gene expression profiles. We can also take advantage of the high density genotyping data on these samples to identify genetic associations of small RNA expression levels, and the downstream effect of the genetic variants in small RNA sequence. Previous small RNA sequencing efforts have also extended the repertoire of small RNAs, and we hope to potentially find additional small RNAs active in adipose tissue biology. Altogether, the project should provide an exciting view into small RNA biology in humans, and lead to development of new methodology for analysis of molecular phenotype data.

• A proteogenomic atlas of the human neural retina

  The human neural retina is enriched for alternative splicing, and it is estimated that more than 10% of variants associated with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) alter splicing. Previous research mainly used short-read RNA-sequencing techniques to investigate retina-specific splicing and splicing factors. However, this technique provides limited information about transcript isoforms. To gain a deeper understanding of the human neural retina and its isoforms, we generated a proteogenomic atlas that combines PacBio long-read RNA-sequencing data with mass-spectrometry and whole-genome sequencing data from three healthy human neural retina samples. About one third of the nearly 60,000 transcript isoforms were novel, and ten novel peptides that confirmed novel isoforms were detected. This study highlights the importance of studying tissue-specific transcriptomes in greater detail to better understand tissue-specific regulation and to identify disease-causing variants.

• Clonally heritable gene expression imparts a layer of diversity within cell types

  Cell types can be classified according to shared patterns of transcription. Non-genetic variability among individual cells of the same type has been ascribed to stochastic transcriptional bursting and transient cell states. Using high coverage single cell RNA profiling, we asked whether long-term, heritable differences in gene expression can impart diversity within cells of the same type. Studying clonal human lymphocytes and mouse brain cells, we uncovered a vast diversity of heritable gene expression patterns among different clones of cells of the same type in vivo. We combined chromatin accessibility and RNA profiling on different lymphocyte clones to reveal thousands of regulatory regions exhibiting interclonal variation which could be directly linked to interclonal variation in gene expression. Our findings identify a source of cellular diversity, which may have important implications for how cellular populations are shaped by selective processes in development, aging and disease.

• Evolutionary Trajectories of Small Cell Lung Cancer under Therapy

  Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the deadliest human cancers with a five-years survival rate of less than 7%. The standard of care for extensive-stage SCLC consists of systemic treatment with platinum and etoposide, recently combined with PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). SCLC patients show high sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy, followed by rapid recurrence, which distinguishes SCLC from most human cancers. Unfortunately, second-line treatment with other chemotherapeutics or immunotherapy is only marginally effective, and patients ultimately succumb to their disease. We performed whole exome sequencing, whole genome sequencing and transcriptome sequencing of multiple tumor regions from 65 patients with SCLC. We determined tumor phylogenies at diagnosis and throughout chemotherapy and immunotherapy by multi-region sequencing of 160 tumors from 65 patients, to thus decipher the evolutionary processes underlying the remarkable sensitivity of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) to chemotherapy.

• Whole exome sequencing reveals the mutational spectrum of testicular germ cell tumours

  Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common cancer in young men. Here we perform whole exome sequencing of 42 TGCTs to comprehensively study the mutational profile of TGCT. The mutation rate is uniformly low in all of the tumours (mean 0.5 mutations per megabase [Mb]) as compared to the common cancers, consistent with the embryological origin of TGCT. In addition to expected copy number gain of chromosome 12p and mutation of KIT we identify recurrent mutations in the tumour suppressor gene CDC27 (11.9%). Copy number analysis reveals recurring amplification of the spermatocyte development gene FSIP2 (15.3%) and a 0.4Mb region at Xq28 (15.3%). Two treatment-refractory patients are shown to harbour XRCC2 mutations, a gene strongly implicated in defining cisplatin resistance. Our findings provide further insights into genes involved in the development and progression of TGCT.

• Capture Hi-C identifies the chromatin interactome of colorectal cancer risk loci

  Multiple regulatory elements distant to their targets on the linear genome can influence the expression of a single gene through chromatin looping. Chromosome conformation capture implemented in Hi-C allows for genome-wide agnostic characterization of chromatin contacts. However, detection of functional enhancer-promoter interactions is precluded by its effective resolution that is determined by both restriction fragmentation and sensitivity of the experiment. Here we have developed a capture Hi-C (cHi-C) approach to allow an agnostic characterisation of these physical interactions on a genome-wide scale. Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with complex diseases often reside within regulatory elements and exert effects through long-range regulation of gene expression. Applying this cHi-C approach to 14 colorectal cancer risk loci has allowed us to identify key long-range chromatin interactions in cis and trans involving these loci.

• DNA methylation and somatic mutations converge on cell cycle and define similar evolutionary histories in brain tumors

  The evolutionary history of tumor cell populations can be reconstructed from patterns of genetic alterations. In contrast to the stability of genetic events, epigenetic states are reversible and sensitive to the microenvironment, prompting the question whether epigenetics can be similarly used to discover tumor phylogeny. We examined the spatial and temporal dynamics of DNA methylation in a cohort of low-grade gliomas and their patient-matched recurrences. Genes upregulated through promoter hypomethylation during malignant progression to high-grade glioblastoma were enriched in cell cycle function, evolving in parallel with genetic alterations that deregulate the G1/S cell cycle checkpoint. Moreover, phyloepigenetic relationships robustly recapitulated phylogenetic patterns inferred from somatic mutations. These findings highlight widespread co-dependency of genetic and epigenetic events throughout brain tumor evolution.

• Pilot study for Illumina TST170 NGS panel on cutaneous T cell lymphoma samples

  A number of genomic studies using next generation sequencing (NGS) techniques have attempted to understand the underlying genetic basis of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and found alterations in genes that are involved in T-cell activation, NF-kB and JAK-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathways. 8 diagnostic skin biopsy samples (2xplaque, 6xtumour) on FFPE blocks were selected from 8 MF patients (stage IB:n=1, IIB:n=6, IVA2:n=1). An H&E was performed in order to assess percentage of tumor cells, viable cells, necrosis and immune infiltration, to determine the number of slides required for NGS. Freshly cut unstained slides were manually macrodissected prior to DNA and RNA extraction. Targeted deep sequencing was performed using panel of 170 genes associated with common solid tumours (Illumina TruSight Tumour 170 NGS panel). VCF files generated via the Illumina’s Basespace platform.
