• Molecular Signature of Saudi Thyroid Cancer Using whole exome sequencing

  In Saudi Arabia, thyroid cancer ranked second only to breast cancer among females, eleventh among males and this increased incidence is prevalent in other Gulf Council Countries also. Differentiated thyroid cancer, which includes papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and follicular subtypes, accounts for 90% of all thyroid malignancies. Currently, there are no clinical or molecular diagnostic tools to predict recurrence and aggressiveness of a subset of PTC. With the goal of better understanding the pathobiology of thyroid carcinogenesis we will use Whole Exome Sequencing to decipher the molecular and genetic signature of Saudi PTC based on International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) Guidelines. The study will provide a better understanding of PTC and should have important clinical implications in the development of new and better strategies for targeted therapeutic intervention for the treatment of Saudi Arabian PTC

• multi-OMICs study of a pair of infant monozygotic twins with concordant B-cell ALL

  B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-cell ALL) is the most common cancer in childhood. Studying identical twins with B-cell ALL provides a unique and tractable model for deciphering the developmental timing of pre- and post-natal mutations contributing to clonal evolution. To date, this has mainly focused on major cytogenetic subgroups of childhood B-cell ALL, including MLL fusions, ETV6-RUNX1, hyperdiploidy, and BCR-ABL1. However, formal demonstration of the prenatal origin and “backtracking” the natural history of the leukemia remains understudied in “B-other”/Normal Karyotype (NK) B-cell ALL. To characterize the genetic and the epigenetic landscape of this particular leukemia subtype, we performed whole genome DNA-, B-cell receptor (BCR)-, and DNA bisulfite-sequencing on a pair of 8-month-old monozygotic twins diagnosed with concordant “B-other”/NK B-cell ALL.

• Cancer and germline exomes consisting of FASTQ paired-end reads from melanoma and lung cancer samples

  Efforts to precisely identify tumor human leukocyte antigen presented peptides (HLAp) capable of mediating T cell based tumor rejection still face important challenges. Recent reports suggest that non-canonical cancer HLAp could be immunogenic but their identification requires highly sensitive and accurate mass-spectrometry (MS)-based proteogenomics approaches. Here, we present a MS-based analytical pipeline that can precisely characterize the non-canonical HLAp repertoire, incorporating whole exome sequencing, bulk and single cell transcriptomics, ribosome profiling, and a combination of two MS/MS search tools. This approach results in the accurate identification of hundreds of shared and tumor-specific non-canonical HLAp. Albeit often at low levels and in distinct subpopulations of cells, numerous non-canonical HLAp are shared across tumors. This analytical platform holds great promise for the discovery of novel cancer antigens for cancer immunotherapy.

• Glioblastoma initiating cells are sensitive to histone demethylase inhibition due to epigenetic deregulation

  Tumor-initiating cells are a subpopulation of cells that have self-renewal capacity to regenerate a tumor. Here, we identify stem cell-like chromatin features in human glioblastoma initiating cells (GICs) and link them to a loss of the repressive histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) mark. Increasing H3K9me3 levels by histone demethylase inhibition led to cell death in GICs but not in their differentiated counterparts. The induction of apoptosis was accompanied by a loss of the activating H3 lysine 9 acetylation (H3K9ac) modification and accumulation of DNA damage and downregulation of DDR genes. Upon knockdown of histone demethylases KDM4C and KDM7A both differentiation and DNA damage was induced. Thus, the H3K9me3-H3K9ac equilibrium is crucial for GIC viability and represents a chromatin feature that can be exploited to specifically target this tumor subpopulation.

• Genetic makeup of agnospheres

  Agnospheres are cultures of cancer stem cells isolated from tissue biopsies from patients with Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUPs). The latter is a lethal malignancy (median survival <1 year), representing approximately the 3% of all cancers, and characterized by metastatic dissemination in the absence of a primary tumor recognizable by a standardized protocol including thorough body imaging and histopathological analysis. Agnospheres are long-term propagated in culture and, after subcutaneous injection into immunocompromised mice, they display high tumorigenicity and quickly reproduce the clinical presentation of the original tumor, featuring a multi-organ metastatic pattern and poorly differentiated histology. The goal of the project is to analyse the mutational profile of agnospheres in detail, as to verify its correspondance with that of the original tumors. Genetic information will be exploited to investigate the genetic drivers of the CUP phenotype, in particular the hypermetastatic ability and the differentiative block.

• Genetic landscape of inherited retinal dystrophies affected cases in Spain

  Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), defined by dysfunction or progressive loss of photoreceptors, are disorders characterized by elevated heterogeneity, both at the clinical and genetic levels. Our main goal was to address the genetic landscape of IRD in a Spanish cohort of patients. A retrospective hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out on IRD affected individuals, referred for genetic testing from all the Spanish autonomous communities. Clinical, demographic and familiar data were collected from each patient, including family pedigree, age of appearance of visual symptoms, presence of any systemic findings and geographical origin. Genetic studies were performed to all families with available DNA using different molecular techniques. Our study provides the general landscape for IRD in Spain and our results have important implications for genetic diagnosis, counselling and new therapeutic strategies to both the Spanish population and other related populations.

• Transcriptome sequencing of Gingivo-buccal Cancer : ICGC-India Project_Batch05

  Transcriptome Sequencing of Gingivo-buccal Cancer: ICGC-India ProjectAs a part of the ICGC, India has undertaken genomic studies on gingivobuccal cancer of the oral cavity, which is the most prevalent form of cancer among men in India. There are various known environmental (life-style) correlates of this cancer, the most important of which are tobacco chewing and HPV infection. Transcriptome sequencing of paired RNA samples – isolated from the tumor and adjacent normal tissues of 28 patients – have been performed. Detailed clinical characterization of the patients, collection of data on demographic and environmental exposures, and isolation of DNA samples from adjacent normal and tumor tissues collected from each patient are being done at the Advanced Centre for Research, Treatment and Education on Cancer, Mumbai. Sequencing is being performed at the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics, Kalyani.

• Novel mutations in TOP2A in gliomas

  High grade gliomas (HGGs) are aggressive, primary brain tumors with poor clinical outcomes. To better understand glioma pathobiology and find potential therapeutic susceptibilities, we designed a custom- panel 664 cancer- and epigenetics-related genes and employed targeted next generation sequencing to study the genomic landscape of somatic and germline variants in 182 glioma samples of different malignancy grades. Besides known alterations in TP53, IDH1, ATRX, EGFR genes, we found several novel variants that can be potential drivers in gliomas. In four patients from the Polish glioma cohort, we identified a novel recurrent mutation in the TOP2A gene coding for Topoisomerase 2A in glioblastomas (GBM, WHO grade IV gliomas). The mutation results in a substitution of glutamic acid (E) 948 to glutamine (Q) of TOP2 A and we predicted this E948Q substitution may affect DNA binding and a TOP2A enzymatic activity.

• Rare coding variants in lupus risk genes

  Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the prototypic systemic autoimmune disease. It is thought that many common variant gene loci of weak effect act additively to predispose to common autoimmune diseases, while the contribution of rare variants remains unclear. Here we describe that rare coding variants in lupus-risk genes are present in most SLE patients and healthy controls. We demonstrate the functional consequences of rare and low frequency missense variants in the interacting proteins BLK and BANK1, which are present alone, or in combination, in a substantial proportion of lupus patients. The rare variants found in patients, but not those found exclusively in controls, impair suppression of IRF5 and type-I IFN in human B cell lines and increase pathogenic lymphocytes in lupus-prone mice. Thus, rare gene variants are common in SLE and likely contribute to genetic risk.

• Mutational signatures of environmental carcinogens in human tissue organoids

  Whole genome sequencing of human tumours has revealed distinct patterns (signatures) of mutations that provide clues to the causative origins of cancer. Some signatures have been attributed to endogenous processes, some to exogenous agents, while a substantial proportion are of unknown origin. Generation of mutational signatures induced in experimental systems can verify the signature assignments and shed light on their origins and mechanisms. We have investigated mutational signatures of environmental carcinogens in human tissue organoid cultures. These 3-dimensional systems retain some of the architecture and functions of the organs from which they are derived, affording the opportunity to observe the effects of carcinogens in both target and non-target organs. There was a lesser requirement for an exogenous metabolizing system, as the cultures were, in most cases, capable of activating test agents. Duplex sequencing eliminated PCR amplification errors from mutational profiles and removed the need to clone carcinogen-treated cultures. Gastric, colon, liver, pancreas and kidney organoids were exposed to benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), aristolochic acid (AAI) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP). All four agents induced single-base substitution (SBS) signatures, BaP and AAI induced double-base substitution (DBS) signatures and indel (ID) signatures, and PhIP also induced an ID signature. These signatures were the same in all five organoid types, although there were quantitative differences. A further 13 environmental carcinogens were investigated in human gastric organoids, and signatures were obtained for seven of them: ethylnitrosourea (ENU), methylazoxymethanol acetate (MAM), N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MMNG), potassium bromate, glycidamide, styrene oxide and propylene oxide, providing additional insights into processes underlying the causes of human cancer.

• SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study - Genetic Risk Score

  Genetic risk scores (GRS) quantify polygenic disease risk into a single measure and can aid in disease classification. GRS studies have focused primarily on adult populations of recent European ancestry. We aimed to assess the utility of GRS in classification of diabetes type among racially/ethnically diverse youth in the United States. We used data from SEARCH baseline visits and follow up visits for which key data elements were available. 2260 participants are included. Phenotypic Data to be submitted here include: Self-reported sex, race and ethnicity Diabetes type determined by provider Etiologic diabetes type T1D (antibody positive, or antibody negative/missing and insulin sensitive) T2D (antibody negative and insulin resistant) Diabetes duration (years) Age at diagnosis (years) Measures from baseline, SEARCH 3 (follow-up) and SEARCH 4 (follow-up): Age Height Weight Waist circumference HbA1c Fasting/non-fasting glucose C-peptide Triglycerides HDL LDL Systolic Blood Pressure Diastolic Blood Pressure Measures from SEARCH 3 and 4:Arterial stiffness as characterized by PWVRetinopathy Measures from SEARCH 4 only: LV structure and diastolic function measurements from echocardiogram GAD autoantibody IAD autoantibody ZnT8 autoantibody We performed genotyping using the Illumina Multi-Ethnic Global Array (MEGA) array with 1,697,069 genotyped variants including 748,291 with minor allele frequency <0.01. Genotyping and preliminary quality control checks were performed at the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine. After additional quality control, 2,238 samples and 900,743 variants remained for analyses. Samples genotyped on the MEGA array were categorized using SEARCH etiologic type and consisted of predominantly type 1 diabetes cases (n=2,051) but also those with other diabetes (n=133 type 2 diabetes, n=52 other diabetes including monogenic diabetes; genetic confirmation with either a genetic clinical test or test performed as an ancillary study to SEARCH). The median reported age at DNA collection was 11.2 years (interquartile range 7.6 – 14.1) with a minimum age of 1.9 years and maximum of 21.9 years. We used additional data genotyped on the Affymetrix 500K imputation scaffold chip with 239,279 genotyped variants. This cohort consisted of predominantly type 2 diabetes cases (n=417) but also those with type 1 (n=104), and other diabetes types (n=16). After additional quality control, 537 samples and 235,967 variants remained. The median reported age at collection was 11.2 years (quartile range 8.1 – 14.2) with a minimum of 2.0 years and a maximum of 21.1 years. About 100 type 2 diabetes cases were also genotyped using the MEGA chip to ensure concordance between the data sets and facilitate strand alignment between the two chips before genotypic imputation. The data sets had n=230,228 genotyped variants in common and concordance between the genotypes was high (mean correlation r2 for SNPs used in GRS=0.95). We used the 1000 Genomes reference panel to impute each data set separately, resulting in a total of 34.5M and 27.8M well-imputed variants (r2>0.8) for the MEGA and Affymetrix data sets respectively. We combined high quality imputed variants for analysis.
