• A Phase I/II Trial of T Cell Receptor Gene Therapy Targeting HPV-16 E7 for HPV-Associated Cancers

  This is a phase I clinical trial testing the safety and efficacy of gene-engineered T cells expressing a T-cell receptor targeting an HLA-A*02:01-restricted epitope of HPV-16 E7 (E7 TCR T cells) in patients with metastatic HPV-16+ epithelial cancers. A total of 12 patients were treated. The maximum tested dose was tolerated. Side effects were most consistent with the expected toxicities of the lymphocyte-depleting conditioning regimen and high-dose aldesleukin. Six of the 12 patients demonstrated objective clinical responses. Translational studies of the infused T cell characteristics did not correlate strongly with clinical response. Genomic defects in the targeted peptide-HLA complex did demonstrate definitive mechanisms of resistance in some patients.

• Pan Cancer Investigation of Human Leukocyte Antigen Loss of Heterozygosity

  Cancer cells can escape immune recognition through human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loss of heterozygosity (LOH) which results in deletion of HLA alleles, causing a reduction in presentation of tumor neoantigens. Despite its influence on immunotherapy response, few methods exist to detect HLA LOH, and accuracy of the approaches is poorly defined. Here, we present DASH (Deletion of Allele-Specific HLAs), a machine learning-based algorithm developed to detect HLA LOH from paired tumor-normal sequencing data. Using DASH to characterize HLA LOH in 610 patients across 15 cancer types, we found that 18% of patients had loss of heterozygosity in at least one HLA allele, suggesting the HLA LOH is a widespread, and potentially key immune resistance strategy in multiple cancers.

• Next Generation Mendelian Genetics: Malignant Hyperthermia

  Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a genetic disorder that causes a profound metabolic derangement following exposure to certain anesthetics. While approximately half of all cases are associated with ryanodine receptor-1 gene (RYR1) mutations, many cases have an unknown genetic cause. We sought to identify rare variants in novel MH candidate genes by sequencing the protein-coding regions of the genomes of individuals whose disease was either ruled in or out by the gold-standard diagnostic test. We also carefully selected individuals from well-characterized families to use gene-sharing information and maximize efficiency in the study design. Exome sequencing has helped identify the causes of over a dozen Mendelian disorders, has high power at low sample sizes, and is cost-efficient compared to whole-genome sequencing.

• CAGE Profiling of ncRNAs in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Reveals a Strong Activation of Retroviral LTR Promoters in Virus-Induced Tumors

  The ncRNA transcriptome of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is largely unexplored. We used CAGE to characterize transcription start sites across different etiologies of human HCCs with emphasis on ncRNAs. Here we report that retroviral LTR promoters, expressed in healthy tissues such as testis and placenta but not liver, are widely activated in HCC. Despite HCC heterogeneity, a subset of LTR-derived ncRNAs were more than 10-fold up-regulated in the vast majority of samples. HCCs with a high LTR activity mostly had a viral etiology, were less differentiated and showed higher risk of recurrence. CAGE enabled us to build a promoter map for HCC, which uncovers a new layer of complexity in HCC genomics.

• Development of Computational Approaches for Cell Hashing in scRNA-Seq

  As a test of cell overloading after cell hashing, a sample of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from a single subject was separated into naive T cells, memory T cells, and non-T cell PBMC populations using fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). Each population was separated into two technical replicates, then stained with BioLegend TotalSeq-A antibodies. All 6 samples were pooled, then loaded into 6 wells of a 10X Genomics Chromium 3' RNA-seq v3 chip at increasing cell counts: 16,000 (k), 24k, 32k, 48k, 64, and 80k cells per well. We also included a single sample that was not hashed or pooled, as well as a single sample that was stained with hashing antibodies, but not pooled in two separate wells.

• Identification of Recurrent NAB2-STAT6 Gene Fusions in Solitary Fibrous Tumor by Integrative Sequencing

  Transcriptome sequencing of solitary fibrous tumors / hemangiopericytomas from a variety of anatomic sites revealed recurrent gene fusions between two genes, NAB2 and STAT6. All SFTs examined exhibited an in-frame fusion transcript encoding a fusion protein containing the EGR1 interaction domain of NAB2 with the transcriptional activation domain of STAT6. Functional testing of the fusion alleles confirmed the conversion of the wt NAB2 repressor into a transcriptional activator. A range of individual fusion junctions can be detected by next-generation sequencing acro the sample set, highlighting the suitability of this method in the diagnostic characterization of SFTs. This study indentified the pathognomonic alteration in solitary fibrous tumors and illuminates a pathway towards targeted therapeutics for this cancer.

• Resistance to Latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection in South Africa: Immunologic Profiling

  Despite significant exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), some humans remain uninfected, as defined by persistently negative immune sensitization tests (tuberculin skin test, TST; interferon gamma release assays, IGRA). To explore mechanisms of natural resistance to Mtb infection, we profiled tissues from highly-exposed Mtb contacts from South Africa. The cohort in this submission were gold miners in South Africa who had worked in the mining industry ≥ 15 years with presumed high Mtb exposure, based on extreme tuberculosis incidence rates and high prevalence of latent Mtb infection (Chihota et al. 2022, PMID: 35302992; Ntshiqa et al. 2021, doi: 10.12688/gatesopenres.13191.1). TST and IGRA testing were performed at enrollment of gold miners, some of whom remained available for repeat testing at 12 months.

• Center for Common Disease Genomics (CCDG) - Cardiovascular: BioImage Cohort

  The genetic basis of cardiovascular disease in individuals of non-European ancestry remains largely unknown. Availability of ethnically diverse study populations is essential to fully investigate the underlying causes of disease. The BioImage Study enrolled adults aged 55-80 in a prospective observational study. Subjects had no prior history of cardiovascular disease, but were identified to be at intermediate to high risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular events (PMID: 25790876). The recruiting target was a cohort with similar demographics to the US population in terms of race and ethnicity. Produced as part of the NHGRI Centers for Common Disease Genomics, this study contains whole genome sequence data and variant calls from 922 African American participants of the BioImage Study.

• Drug Resistant Hypertension in African Americans' Exome

  Resistant hypertension is defined as blood pressure that remains above goal in spite of the concurrent use of 3 antihypertensive agents of different classes or the concurrent use of 4 or more antihypertensive agents regardless of control. Its diagnosis is important for the identification of patients who are at high risk of having reversible causes of hypertension and/or patients who, because of persistently high blood pressure levels, may benefit from special diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. Resistant hypertension represents an extreme phenotype, thus, it has been predicted that genetic factors could play a larger role than for the general hypertensive population. Genetic assessments of patients with resistant hypertension have been limited. The current study assayed the exome of 91 African American patients with treatment resistant hypertension.

• Transcriptomic Analysis of Pluripotent Stem Cell-Based Model of Human Amniogenesis

  The amniotic epithelium is the innermost layer of the amniochorionic membrane that physically divides the maternal and fetal environments. Amniogenesis is initiated during implantation in humans. In implanting blastocysts, the pluripotent epiblast cells undergo apical-basal polarization to form a cyst with a central lumen, the future amniotic cavity. This event is followed by the fate transition of pluripotent epiblast cells at the uterine-proximal pole of the cyst to squamous amniotic ectoderm, forming a sharp boundary between amnion and pluripotent epiblast portions of the cyst. To enable mechanistic investigations into amnion fate progression, several in vitro models based on human pluripotent stem cells were recently developed. In this study, transcriptomic features of human pluripotent stem cell-derived amniogenesis models were examined.

• Gene-Specific RNA Sequencing in PLCG2-Associated Immune Dysregulation with Cold Urticaria

  This study utilized gene-specific RNA-sequencing of PLCG2 to screen for disease causing in-frame exon-skipping transcripts of PLCG2 in a collection of 9 subjects with cold urticaria, 2 subjects with known PLCG2-associated antibody deficiency and immune dysregulation (PLAID)-causing deletions of PLCG2 (positive controls) and 3 healthy subjects (negative controls). Full length cDNA of PLCG2 was generated using gene specific reverse transcription of peripheral blood mononuclear cell RNA. The full length PLCG2 cDNA was used as the template to create Illumina sequencing libraries. To identify the underlying genetic basis for the exon-skipping transcripts, trio-based whole genome sequencing was performed for probands in whom in-frame exon-skipping transcripts of PLCG2 were identified.

• Mapping Genotypes to Chromatin Accessibility Profiles in Single Cells

  In somatic tissue differentiation, chromatin accessibility changes govern priming and precursor commitment towards cellular fates1–3. Therefore, somatic mutations likely alter chromatin accessibility patterns, as they disrupt differentiation topologies leading to abnormal clonal outgrowth. However, defining the impact of somatic mutations on the epigenome in human samples is challenging due to admixed mutated and wild-type cells. To chart how somatic mutations disrupt epigenetic landscapes in human clonal outgrowths, we developed Genotyping of Targeted loci with single-cell Chromatin Accessibility (GoT-ChA). This high-throughput platform links genotypes to chromatin accessibility at single-cell resolution, across thousands of cells within a single assay. We applied GoT-ChA to CD34+ cells from myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) patients with JAK2V617F-mutated hematopoiesis.

• APOBEC Mutagenesis, Kataegis, Chromothripsis in EGFR-Mutant Osimertinib-Resistant Lung Adenocarcinomas

  Expanding on studies investigating apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like (APOBEC) mutagenesis in histological transformation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant lung cancers, it has been hypothesized that mutational signature analysis may help better understand acquired resistance to targeted therapies. Using mutational signature analysis in Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTK) driven lung adenocarcinomas, more specifically EGFR mutant lung cancer, APOBEC dominant mutational signatures were noted more frequently in subclonal post Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) treatment biospecimen samples and in the presence of large-scale genomic rearrangements. This is hypothesized to be due to the pressure of treatment with TKIs; a fact that should be further explored and can be potentially manipulated in order to overcome drug resistance.

• C-MACH reduced-representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS)

  Umbilical cord blood (CB) has been commonly used as an epigenetic surrogate of fetuses. Here, we propose umbilical cord tissue (UC) as an alternative surrogate for epigenetic studies on fetuses. To explore the feasibility to examine UC epigenome by deep sequencing, we determined CpG methylation profiles of human postnatal UC by reduced representation bisulfite sequencing. We compared DNA methylomes between UC and CB. To investigate the effect of folate during pregnancy on fetal DNA methylation, we compared fetal UC DNA methylation between low and high levels of maternal plasma folate. Our study suggests that UC is useful as an alternative surrogate for studying environmental effects on DNA methylation in human fetuses, compensating CB by providing additional information about epigenetic regulation of genes.
