• Whole Exome DNA Sequencing of matched brain tumor-normal pairs

  Illumina HiSeq sequence data (with >80x coverage) were aligned to the hg19 human reference genome assembly using BWA (Li and Durbin, 2009); duplicate reads were removed from the final BAM file. No realignment or recalibration was performed.The whole exome sequencing data of 20 SHH medulloblastomas from phs000504.v1.p1 dataset has been used in our study on SHH medulloblastomas: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/gap/cgi-bin/study.cgi?study_id=phs000504.v1.p1

• Efficacy of two different FGFR-inhibitors in a patient with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma harboring an FGFR2 mutation

  Cholangiocarcinomas (CCAs) is a type of cancer with few effective systemic therapies. Elucidation of the molecular landscape of the disease from genomic studies based on next generation sequencing (NGS) has contributed to the introduction of new targeted therapies. One of these treatments consists of a class of small molecules that target members of the FGFR family of receptor tyrosine kinases. These drugs are effective and have been approved for cholangiocarcinomas with fusions or rearrangements of FGFR genes. In contrast, the role of these inhibitors in cholangiocarcinomas with mutations in FGFR genes is less well defined. We report here a patient with a cholangiocarcinoma bearing a FGFR2 p.Ser252Trp mutation. The patient was treated with two different FGFR inhibitors, as the first caused ocular toxicity. She obtained clinical benefit from both. This case illustrates the efficacy of FGFR inhibitors on cholangiocarcinoma with specific point mutations. This is the first case to report the clinical benefit of these drugs in FGFR2 p.Ser252Trp mutation. Clinical benefit can be sustained, as seen in our patient. Our case also shows that FGFR inhibitors-induced adverse effects, such as ocular toxicities, may not recur after re-challenge with an alternative drug of the same class.

• CUT&RUN-sequencing identifies PTK7 as a direct Wnt target in patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids

  The aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling by APC mutations is a hallmark of colorectal cancer (CRC), but targeting Wnt signaling therapeutically has proven challenging. Deciphering the molecular effects of mutant APC-driven Wnt activation is crucial to enable the discovery of novel therapeutic targets. Here, we employ CUT&RUN-sequencing in patient-derived CRC organoids derived from two donors to dissect the transcriptional regulation by β-catenin in CRC. This analysis identified several genes of interest for CRC development as potential β-catenin target genes. Among these, we characterize PTK7, a co-receptor of the Wnt pathway and stem cell marker, as a main transcriptional target of β-catenin in CRC. We confirm that the expression of PTK7 is directly regulated by β-catenin in a comprehensive panel of CRC models. We demonstrate that APC mutations introduced by CRISPR/Cas9 result in the upregulation of PTK7 expression in human colon organoids, underlining the relevance of this upregulation during CRC carcinogenesis. Finally, we show that PTK7 promotes proliferation in CRC models without definitively affecting canonical Wnt signaling. Together, these results suggest that PTK7, which can be potentially targeted by existing drugs, is a Wnt target gene that contributes to oncogenic growth in CRC.

• Host whole genome variations are associated with neurocognitive outcome in survivors of pediatric medulloblastoma

  Host whole genome analysis is a promising source of predictive information for long-term morbidity in cancer survivors. However, studies on genetic predictors of long-term outcome, particularly neurocognitive function following chemoradiation in pediatric oncology are limited. In the present study, we evaluated variations in host whole genome single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their association with cognitive outcome. Whole-genome SNP analysis of host peripheral blood was conducted on 22 medulloblastoma long-term survivors, of whom 18 completed neuropsychological testing. First, unsupervised consensus clustering of the most variable SNPs within 409 genes involved in DNA repair was performed. Discrete variant groups were identified, although they were not associated with cognitive outcome, suggesting that variations in genes corresponding to a single functional group may be insufficient to predict long-term outcome alone. In support of this interpretation, unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis using disease-associated gene variants by cognitive impairment status yielded two distinct variant clusters comprised of 36 variants, 34 of which were in noncoding regions. These findings illustrate for the first time that cognitively impaired survivors have a distinct variant profile compared to other medulloblastoma survivors. Future research in larger cohorts is needed to validate host genome predictors of cognitive impairment that may impact clinical management.
