• Ethiopia_Genome_Project__high_coverage_

  The Ethiopian area stands among the most ancient ones ever occupied by human populations and their ancestors. Particularly, according to archaeological evidences, it is possible to trace back the presence of Hominids up to at least 3 million years ago. Furthermore, the present day human populations show a great cultural, linguistic and historic diversity which makes them essential candidate to investigate a considerable part of the African variability. Following the typing of 300 Ethiopian samples on Illumina Omni 1M (see Human Variability in Ethiopia project, previously approved by the Genotyping committee) we now have a clearer idea on which populations living in the area include the most of the diversity.This project therefore aims to sequence the whole genome of 300 individuals at low (4-8x) depth belonging to the six most representative populations of the Ethiopian area to produce a unique catalogue of variants peculiar of the North East Africa. Furthermore 6 samples (one from each population) will also be sequenced at high (30x) depth to ensure full coverage of the diversity spectrum.The retrieved variants will be of great help in evaluating the demographic dynamics of those populations as well as shedding light on the migrations out of Africa.

• Detection of cancers three years prior to diagnosis using plasma cell-free DNA

  A major goal of early cancer detection is to identify subclinical disease when the tumor burden is low, so that treatments are more effective. But how early can cancers be detected prior to clinical signs or symptoms? This question can be answered only through the evaluation of participants whose clinical course has not been altered by the study itself. We here describe such an evaluation, performed on prospectively collected plasma samples from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, including 26 participants diagnosed with cancer and 26 matched controls. At the index time point, eight of these 52 participants scored positively with a multicancer early detection (MCED) blood test. All eight of these participants were diagnosed with cancer within 4 months after blood collection. In six of these 8 participants, we were able to assess an earlier plasma sample collected 3.1 to 3.5 years prior to clinical diagnosis. In four of these six participants, the same mutations detected by the MCED test could be identified, but at 8.6 to 79-fold lower levels. These results demonstrate that it is possible to detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) more than three years prior to clinical diagnosis, and provide benchmark sensitivities required for the success of ctDNA-based tests for this purpose.

• Swarm Learning to identify COVID-19, tuberculosis and leukemia patients based on blood transcriptomes

  Identification of patients with life-threatening diseases including leukemias or infections such as tuberculosis or COVID-19 is an important goal of modern precision medicine. However, there is an increasing divide between what is technically possible and what is allowed because of privacy legislation. We have recently illustrated that classical machine learning can identify leukemia patients based on their blood transcriptomes. To facilitate integration of any omics data from any data owner world-wide without violating privacy laws, we here introduce Swarm Learning (SL), a decentralized machine learning approach uniting edge computing, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain and privacy protection without the need for a central coordinator thereby going beyond federated learning. To illustrate its feasibility, using more than 12,000 transcriptomes from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and more than 2,000 peripheral blood transcriptomes we demonstrate that SL of omics data distributed across different individual sites leads to disease classifiers that outperform those developed at individual sites. Yet, SL completely protects local privacy regulations by design. We propose this approach to noticeably accelerate the introduction of precision medicine.

• Identification of biomarkers of response to preoperative talazoparib monotherapy in treatment naïve gBRCA+ breast cancers

  Germline mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 exist in ~2-7% of breast cancer patients, which has led to the approval of PARP inhibitors in the advanced setting. We have previously reported a phase II neoadjuvant trial of single agent talazoparib for patients with germline BRCA pathogenic variants with a pathologic complete response (pCR) rate of 53%. As nearly half of the patients treated did not have pCR, better strategies are needed to overcome treatment resistance. To this end, we conducted multi-omic analysis of 13 treatment naïve breast cancer tumors from patients that went on to receive single-agent neoadjuvant talazoparib. We looked for biomarkers that were predictive of response (assessed by residual cancer burden) after 6 months of therapy. We found that all resistant tumors exhibited either the loss of SHLD2, expression of a hypoxia signature, or expression of a stem cell signature. These results indicate that the deep analysis of pre-treatment tumors can identify biomarkers that are predictive of response to talazoparib and potentially other PARP inhibitors, and provides a framework that will allow for better selection of patients for treatment, as well as a roadmap for the development of novel combination therapies to prevent emergence of resistance.
