• Whole exome sequencing data for paired non-serous endometrial and ovarian carcinomas from 27 patients with concurrent tumours.

  Introduction: Concurrent non-serous endometrial and ovarian tumours are often managed clinically as two separate primary tumours, but almost all exhibit evidence of a genomic relationship. Methodology: This study investigates the extent of relatedness using whole exome sequencing, which was performed on paired non-serous endometrial and ovarian carcinomas from 27 patients with concurrent tumours in a cohort with detailed clinicopathological annotation. Four whole exome sequencing-derived parameters (mutation, mutational burden, mutational signatures and mutant allele tumour heterogeneity scores) were used to develop a novel unsupervised model for the assessment of genomic similarity to infer genomic relatedness of paired tumours. Results: This novel model demonstrated genomic relatedness across all four parameters in all tumour pairs. Mutations in PTEN, ARID1A, CTNNB1, KMT2D and PIK3CA occurred most frequently and 24 of 27 (89 %) tumour pairs shared identical mutations in at least one of these genes, with all pairs sharing mutations in a number of other genes. Ovarian endometriosis, CTNNB1 exon 3 mutation, and progression and death from disease were present across the similarity ranking. Mismatch repair deficiency was associated with less genomically similar pairs. Discussion: Although there was diversity across the cohort, the presence of genomic similarity in all paired tumours supports the hypothesis that concurrent non-serous endometrial and ovarian carcinomas are genomically related and may have arisen from a common origin. Keywords: Co-existing; Concurrent; Endometrial carcinoma; Genomics; Mutation; Ovarian carcinoma; Paired tumours; Tumour mutational burden.

• Genetic analysis of patients with Inherited Retinal Dystrophies (IRDs) using next generation sequencing to identify the causative variants

  Genetic analysis of patients with Inherited Retinal Dystrophies (IRDs) was carried out by performing Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS). The main purpose of this study is to identify simple and complex mutations responsible for IRD in patients. WGS was performed on selected affected and unaffected individuals using the Illumina HiSeqX10. The reads were aligned to human genome 19 (hg19) and variant calling was performed using Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK). The genotyping quality of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and indels was assessed using the variant quality score recalibration approach implemented in GATK. Copy number variations (CNVs) were called using Genome STRiP and SpeedSeq. This large set of whole genome sequencing data from different ethnicity can be stored and shared through dbGaP. This data could serve as a source for checking frequencies of variants or the pathogenicity of selected variants in different ethnicities.

• Polygenic Risk Score for the Prediction of Breast Cancer Is Related to Lesser Terminal Duct Lobular Unit Involution of the Breast

  The Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank (KTB) at the Indiana University Simon Cancer Center is an annotated biobank, which has recruited healthy women who provided demographic, lifestyle, and cancer-related information via self-administered questionnaire, blood samples and normal breast tissues. H&E slides of the normal breast tissues were scanned for image analysis and a pathologist measured the number of terminal duct lobular units (TDLUs) ("TDLU count"). The acini count per TDLU was quantified using the TDLU analyzer software. In this analysis, we computed the recently developed polygenic risk score (PRS) based on 313 common variants for the prediction of breast cancer and related this PRS to TDLU count and acini count per TDLU. We did this for the overall PRS, the ER-positive PRS and the ER-negative PRS.

• Anorexia Nervosa Genetics Initiative (ANGI)

  The Anorexia Nervosa Genetics Initiative (ANGI) is an international collaboration that recruited individuals with a lifetime history of anorexia nervosa from the United States (US), Australia/New Zealand (ANZ), Sweden (SE), and Denmark (DK). Matched controls, with no history of eating disorders, were also recruited from the US, SE, and DK. Recruitment avenues included national registers (SE, DK), treatment centers (US, ANZ, SE, DK), and social and traditional media (US, ANZ, SE). Participants provided blood samples and clinical information. Diagnoses were based on DSM-IV or ICD-10 criteria (amenorrhea was not required). Genotype data are available for 12,918 participants. *NOTE: Denmark data cannot be shared openly but require prior and individual permission by the data owner: The Head of the National Center for Register Based Research Aarhus, DK. Genotyping of samples from Denmark was completed using the Illumina PsychArray (data not supplied).

• University of Texas at Austin (UTA) Histone Modification and Gene Expression Profiling in 9 Primary Glioblastoma Multiforme, 2 Anaplastic Astrocytomas and Two Meningiomas

  The primary goal of this study was to collect and analyze genomic data from primary glioblastoma multiforme tumors. Our collaborators at St David's Medical Center (SDMC) obtained informed consent from patients undergoing surgery to remove a tumor in the brain. After consent was obtained, specimens were removed from the operating suite and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Tumors were analyzed if they were a grade III (anaplastic astrocytoma) or grade IV glioma (glioblastoma multiforme). Tumors were transported from SDMC to UT Austin, then weighed and homogenized. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed for 7 proteins in each tumor (histone modifications H3K4me3, H3K4me1, H3K9ac, H3K9me3, H3K27ac, H3K27me3, and the multifunctional insulator binding protein CTCF) and no-antibody input was also sequenced. An aliquot of tumor material was set aside for isolation of total RNA.

• Somatic L1 Retrotransposition in Colorectal Tumors

  The purpose of this study is to ascertain the locations of somatic LINE-1 retrotransposition events in human colon tumor samples by pooling multiple tumor samples from different patients and performing a targeted resequencing assay (Ewing and Kazazian, Genome Research 2010) to sequence the 3' flanking regions of all insertions in the pooled sample. The result is compared to the result of applying the same method to pooled normal samples from the same patients as were used in the pooled tumor sample and selecting sites that show an insertion in the tumor but not in the normaltissue and do not correspond to any known non-reference LINE-1 insertion allele. The selected sites are then validated by site-specific PCR and capillary sequencing to confirm that they represent LINE-1 insertions and to obtain breakpoint sequences.

• Genomic Predictors of Response to Immune Checkpoint Therapy

  Immune checkpoint therapies, including monoclonal antibodies to programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic % lymphocyte associated protein-4 (CTLA-4), yield durable clinical responses across many tumor types, including metastatic melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, predictors of response to these therapies in RCC are still unknown. Genomic characterization of large clinical cohorts of patients treated with anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 agents in melanoma and NSCLC have suggested that high mutational burden, high neoantigen burden, and high expression of certain genes in pre-treatment tumors may be associated with patient response to these therapies. In this study, we sought to investigate genomic predictors of response to anti-PD1 therapy in metastatic RCC in two independent clinical cohorts using whole exome and whole transcriptome sequencing.

• Circulating Tumor DNA in Intermediate Risk Rhabdomyosarcoma

  In this study, we evaluated circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a biomarker in the serum of 124 patients with newly diagnosed intermediate risk rhabdomyosarcoma (IR RMS) from the Children's Oncology Group (COG) biorepository. In addition to pre-treatment serum, we also analyzed matched tumor tissue and germline in a subset of patients. We profiled samples using ultra-low passage whole genome sequencing (ULP-WGS) and a new custom hybrid-capture sequencing assay, Rhabdo-Seq, to detect copy number alterations, rearrangements, and single nucleotide variants. We found that patients with detectable ctDNA at diagnosis had significantly worse outcomes than those without detectable levels of ctDNA. Our study demonstrates that baseline ctDNA detection is feasible and prognostic in IR RMS. The ULP-WGS and targeted next-generation sequencing (Rhabdo-Seq and TranSS-Seq) data are available in this study.

• Functionally-defined Therapeutic Targets in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)

  Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is a universally fatal childhood cancer. Here, we performed a chemical screen in patient-derived DIPG cell cultures along with RNAseq expression analysis and integrated computational modeling to identify potentially effective therapeutic strategies. Panobinostat, among the more promising agents identified, demonstrated efficacy in pontine orthotopic xenograft models of both H3K27M and histone WT DIPG. These data suggest the potential utility of specific drug combinations and provides evidence of in vivo treatment efficacy of the multi-histone deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat. We are depositing to dbGaP deep sequencing whole exome data for 22 patient tumor samples and 13 matched normals, along with RNAseq data for 12 patient tumor samples and 6 normal pediatric brain tissue samples. In addition, we are depositing 22 RNAseq samples from DIPG cell lines before and after panobinostat treatment.

• The CHOP Pediatric Genetic Sequencing (PediSeq) Project : Applying Genomic Sequencing in Pediatrics

  The purpose of this research study is to learn more about newer types of genetic testing called whole exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing. Current genetic testing usually examines one gene or a few genes at a time. Exome and genome sequencing allow us to test most of a person's genes at one time with a single test. This testing might identify the reason for a person's unexplained condition or diagnosis. We hope this study will help us identify the best methods for: Educating patients and families about exome and genome sequencing Analyzing exome and genome sequencing data to identify results relevant to patients Giving results to families in a clear, appropriate, and informative manner The current data only includes WES for 159 samples. The WGS samples for 20 samples will be uploaded in the near future.
