• Bleomycin Induced Pneumonitis cohort of the Exceptional Responders Program of the Garvan Institute of Medical Research

  Bleomycin is a cytotoxic antibiotic and forms a key component of the curative-intent chemotherapy regimens for germ cell tumours (GCT) and lymphoma. However, the drug can be associated with a range of lung toxicity, including idiosyncratic inflammation termed bleomycin induced pneumonitis (BIP), which can lead to irreversible interstitial fibrosis and death. This study aims to identify germline genomic changes associated with BIP in patients receiving bleomycin as treatment for GCT or lymphoma, who develop clinically significant BIP despite low predicted risk based on absence of traditional risk factors.

• Neuroblastoma Smart-Seq2 Single Nuclei Sequencing Data

  Heterogeneity of tumors, including the presence of resistant clones, represents a great challenge for high-risk neuroblastoma (NB). Currently, there are no treatments that address cancer heterogeneity. Classification of bulk tumors and corresponding predictions are poor and too general. Understanding heterogeneity will provide critical insight for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies. In this study, we collected 10 human neuroblastoma tumor samples and performed whole-transcriptome profiling at single-nucleus resolution using SMART-Seq2 technology. This approach enables comprehensive characterization of transcriptional diversity within individual tumors, allowing us to identify distinct cellular subpopulations.

• Primary breast tumor heterogeneity through therapy

  We performed whole-exome sequencing on multiple regions (n=2-3) from four primary untreated breast tumors (n=1 HER2+, n=2 ER+/HER2-, n=1 triple-negative), as well as matched normal. We also performed whole-exome sequencing on one region from the pre-treatment diagnostic core biopsy and multiple regions (n=2-6) from the post-treatment surgical specimen for five HER2+ primary breast tumors, as well as matched normal; all were treated with combination chemotherapy and trastuzumab. Analysis of these specimens allows characterization of breast tumor heterogeneity and clonal evolution.

• The molecular landscape of glioma in patients with Neurofibromatosis 1.

  Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common tumor predisposition syndrome in which glioma is one of the most prominent tumor type. Gliomagenesis in NF1 results in heterogeneous spectrum of tumors, from low grade to high grade glioma, occurring during the entire patient lifespan. In this study, we present the molecular landscape of low- and high-grade glioma in children and adults affected by NF1 (NF1-glioma). 59 tumor samples from 56 NF1-glioma patients with 43 matched normal were profiled with Whole Exome Sequencing, DNA Methylation array (31 tumors) and RNA sequencing (29 tumors).

• Transcriptomic analysis of the Phase 3 COMPARZ clinical trial

  Metastasis remains the main reason for renal cell carcinoma (RCC)-associated mortality. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) impart clinical benefit for most RCC patients but the determinants of response are poorly understood. We report an integrated genomic and transcriptomic analysis of metastatic clear cell RCC (ccRCC) patients treated with TKI therapy and identify predictors of response. Patients in the COMPARZ phase III trial received first-line sunitinib or pazopanib with comparable efficacy. Microarray-based transcriptomic analyses with results from Next-gen genomic analyses of targeted genes revealed distinct molecular subgroups associated with response and survival.

• The_Causes_of_Clonal_Blood_Cell_Disorders_Study___SCOR

  We will take a bone marrow aspirate and peripheral blood samples from a healthy patient aged around 60, and use flow cytometry to isolate 100 HSCs, 50 MEPs, and 50 GMPs. We will grow these up into colonies, then whole genome sequence each colony. Somatic mutations will act as a unique barcode for each clone. We will then design a panel for targeted resequencing of the mutations that we find. It will then be possible to look for these mutations in the peripheral blood over several years, to see the dynamics of how HSCs contribute to the peripheral blood in health.

• Chracterising_cellur_pathways_underlying_CD3_CD28_activation_of_human_CD4__cells

  We devised an approach to disentangle the TCR and CD28 pathways upon stimulation in naive and memory primary human CD4+ T cells (Tcons) in response to defined stimulatory signals. Isolated memory and naïve T cells were activated using anti-CD3, anti-CD28 or both in combination. As a control we cultured cells in the same conditions but without the stimuli. We carried Chipmentation using the H3K27ac antibody on 200,000 cross-linked cells. 1) This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• PAS Pedigrees: Identification of novel genetic variants contributing to cardiovascular disease in pedigrees with premature atherosclerosis.

  The heritability of CVD has been estimated to be between 40 and 55%. Due to the low MAF, PAS-causing mutations cannot be identified by indirect genotyping because their presence cannot be inferred from common haplotypes, as has been done successfully to uncover common risk variants by GWAS. It has been shown by Ng et al that the causative gene for rare syndromes can be unequivocally identified by sequencing the exomes of only four cases and eight controls. We expect exome sequencing to result in a high number of mutations and non-causitive coding variants.

• 502 present-day genotypes included in the '137 ancient human genomes from across the Eurasian steppe' publication

  For thousands of years, the Eurasian steppe has been a centre for human migrations and cultural changes. To understand its population history following the Bronze Age migrations, 137 ancient humans were sequenced. These ancient DNA sequences were notably compared to the genetic data of present-day populations from Eurasia. Besides already published data, 502 individuals currently living in Inner Asia and Jordania were sampled and newly genotyped on diverse DNA-arrays. These new data, merged as a single dataset of 242,406 autosomal SNPs, are included in the present ENA study.

• CCND1-negative MCL

  A subset of CCND1-negative mantle cell lymphoma MCL (CCND1- MCL) has been recognized, and around half of them harbor CCND2 translocations. To identify other potential mechanisms driving MCL pathogenesis we investigated CCND1− MCL by by whole genome/exome sequencing. We identified a cryptic insertion of IGK and IGL enhancer regions near the CCND3 gene in three cases. Specific FISH probes detected 10 additional cryptic IGK juxtapositions to CCND3 (6 cases) and CCND2 (4 cases). In conclusion, virtually all CCND1-/SOX11+ MCL carry CCND2/CCND3 rearrangement with IG genes, including cryptic IGK/L enhancer regions not detected with currently used FISH probes.

• Microsatellite unstable colorectal cancers

  Immune escape has been recognised as one of the hallmarks of cancer. Overcoming this immunomodulatory process by tumour cells has become a major therapeutic target. Here we utilize organoid technology to study immune-cancer interactions and assess immunomodulation by colorectal cancer (CRC). Transcriptional profiling and flow cytometry revealed that organoids maintain differential expression of immunomodulatory molecules present in primary tumours. Finally, we established a method to model antigen-specific epithelial cell killing and cancer immunomodulation in vitro using CRC organoids co-cultured with cytotoxic T cells. Our method may serve as a first step to rebuilding the tumor microenvironment in vitro.

• NRG1 Fusions in KRAS Wild-type Pancreatic Cancer (H021)

  We used whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing to identify clinically actionable gene fusions in young adults with KRAS wild-type (KRASwt) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). These alterations included recurrent NRG1 rearrangements predicted to drive PDAC development through aberrant ERBB receptor-mediated signaling, and pharmacologic ERBB inhibition resulted in clinical improvement and remission of liver metastases in two patients with NRG1-rearranged tumors that had proved resistant to standard treatment. Our findings demonstrate that systematic screening of KRASwt tumors for oncogenic fusion genes will substantially improve the therapeutic prospects for a sizeable fraction of PDAC patients.

• Genome-wide Ancestry and Demographic History of African-Descendant Maroon Communities from French Guiana and Surname.

  The transatlantic slave trade (TAST) was the largest forced migration in world history. However, the origins of the enslaved Africans and their admixture dynamics remain unclear. To investigate the demographic history of African-descendant Marron populations, we generated genome-wide SNP data (4.3 million markers) from 107 individuals from three African-descendant populations in South America, as well as 124 individuals from six west African populations to complement underrepresented African data sets. Our study sheds additional light on the demographic consequences of the TAST and illustrates how genetic data can complement historical sources.

• T-cell reconstitution after reduced dose ATLG induction in kidney transplant recipients

  Pre-sensitized kidney transplant recipients have a higher risk for rejection following kidney transplantation and therefore receive a lymphodepletional induction therapy with anti human T-lymphocyte globulin (ATLG). The time course of lymphocyte reconstitution with regards to overall and donor-reactive T-cell receptor (TCR) specificity remains elusive. In this study we aimed to describe the TCR repertoire in a reduced dose ATLG regimen making it possible to evaluate shifts in the shape of the immune repertoire and to detect the reappearance of donor-reactive T-cells following reduced lymphodepletional induction therapy.

• Integrative analysis of non-small cell lung cancer patient-derived xenografts identifies unique proteotypes associated with patient outcomes

  Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Only a fraction of NSCLC harbour actionable driver mutations and there is an urgent need for patient-derived model systems that will enable the development of new targeted therapies. NSCLC and other cancers display profound proteome remodelling compared to normal tissue that is not predicted by DNA or RNA analyses. We generated NSCLC patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) that recapitulate the histology and molecular features of primary NSCLC. Here, we completed whole exome sequencing on 122 NSCLC PDXs.

• molecular profiles of serum-derived extracellular vesicles in high-grade serous ovarian cancer

  Patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) who have no visible residual disease (R0) after primary surgery have the best clinical outcomes, followed by patients who undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and have response enabling interval cytoreductive surgery. Clinically useful predictive biomarkers for such distinctions are still lacking. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been recognized as liquid biopsy-based biomarkers for early cancer detection and disease surveillance in other disease settings. In this study, we performed extensive molecular characterization of serum-derived EVs and correlated them with therapeutic outcomes in patients with HGSC.

• AML FLT3 TCR study

  We identified a T-cell receptor (TCR) reactive to the recurrent FLT3 D835Y mutation in the tyrosine-kinase domain frequently expressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To validate the TCRs' elimination efficacy of leukemic cells, we transplanted human AML cells with FLT3 D835Y mutation into NSG-SGM3 mice and treated either with TCR FLT3 D835Y redirected T cells, or control TCR (TCR 1G4). After treatment, we performed flow sorting of human AML cells from the mice (mCD45-hCD45+hCD3-hCD19-) and compared to primary AML blasts (hCD3-hCD19-) and primary T cells (hCD3+hCD8+orhCD4+hCD19-hCD33-) by whole-exome sequencing.

• The mutational landscape of normal human endometrial epithelium - Additional Samples

  All normal somatic cells are thought to acquire mutations but understanding of the rates, patterns, causes and consequences of somatic mutation in normal cells is limited. Uterine endometrium adopts multiple physiological states over a lifetime and is lined by a gland-forming epithelium. Whole genome sequencing of normal endometrial glands from women aged 19 to 81 years showed them to be clonal cell populations derived from recent common ancestors, with total mutation burdens that increase with age at ~29 base substitutions/year and which are many-fold lower than endometrial cancers. Normal endometrial glands frequently carry driver mutations in cancer genes. Driver mutation burdens increase with age and correlate negatively with parity. Phylogenetic trees of normal endometrial glands constructed using whole genome sequences indicated that clones with drivers often originate during the first decades and spread to colonise the endometrial epithelial lining. The results show that driver mutation landscapes differ between normal cell types, perhaps shaped by differences in normal tissue physiology, and suggest that the procession of neoplastic changes leading to endometrial cancer is initiated early in life.
