• Population whole-genome bisulfite sequencing across two tissues highlights environment as principal source of human methylome variation

  The study includes whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) on 34 adipose(7 MZ pairs, 6 DZ pairs and 8 singletons) and 27 blood (7 MZ pairs, 6 DZpairs and 1 singleton) DNA samples derived from a total of 43 female twinsbelonging to the MuTHER/TwinsUK cohort. We generated 11.5 billion 100bppaired-end reads covering 2.3 Tera-basepairs (Tbp) ofsequence using the Illumina HiSeq2000 or 2500 systems. Applying standardalignment methods and filters we obtain a mean genome coverage of 6.3-fold(range: 1.0- to 12.9-fold) for adipose and 8.7-fold (range: 0.7- to29.0-fold) for blood.

• CONSERTING: integrating copy number analysis with structural variation detection

  We developed Copy Number Segmentation by Regression Tree in Next Generation Sequencing (CONSERTING), a novel algorithm for detecting somatic copy number alteration (CNA) using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data. CONSERTING performs iterative analysis of segmentation by read depth change and localized structural variation detection to achieve high accuracy and sensitivity. Analysis of 43 pediatric and adult cancer genomes revealed novel oncogenic CNAs, complex re-arrangements and subclonal CNAs missed by alternative approaches. This study contains all data for "CONSERTING: an accurate method for detecting somatic DNA copy number alterations in whole genome sequencing data", which was previously split between EGAS00001001202 and EGAS00001001050.

• Molecular phenotyping of MCA/ID patients to improve diagnosis

  De novo structural variants are frequently identified in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, but the genes driving their phenotypes are often unknown. In this study we performed Whole Genome Sequencing, RNA-sequencing and ATAC-sequencing on samples of 51 patients with intellectual disability and/or multiple congenital anomalies and their biological parents (when available). The goals of the study were to gain more insights in the molecular consequences of (complex) genomic rearrangements and to improve the genetic diagnosis of patients carrying such rearrangements. Data is divided in four separate datasets based on type of source material and data access restrictions due to consent.

• Rapid response of APC/TP53/KRAS mutated stage IV colorectal cancer under FOLFIRI + Bevacizumab detected by liquid biopsy: a case report

  In our non-interventional liquid biopsy study, a male patient in his fifties diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer and polytope liver metastases rapidly progressed after completing chemotherapy and deceased 8 months after diagnosis. Retrospective cell free DNA testing showed that the APC/TP53/KRAS major clone responded quickly after 3 cycles of FOLFIRI + Bevacizumab. Retrospective exome sequencing of pre-chemotherapy and post-chemotherapy tissue samples including metastases confirmed that the APC/TP53/KRAS and other major clonal mutations (GPR50, SLC5A, ZIC3, SF3A1 and others) were present in all samples. After the last chemotherapy cycle,

• Volasertib preclinical activity in high-risk hepatoblastoma

  Relapsed and metastatic hepatoblastoma represents an unmet clinical need with limited chemotherapy treatment options. In a chemical screen, we identified volasertib as an agent with in vitro activity, inhibiting hepatoblastoma cell growth while sparing normal hepatocytes. Volasertib targets PLK1 and prevents the progression of mitosis, resulting in eventual cell death. PLK1 is overexpressed in hepatoblastoma biopsies relative to normal liver tissue. As a potential therapeutic strategy, we tested the combination of volasertib and the relapse-related hepatoblastoma chemotherapeutic irinotecan. We found both in vitro and in vivo efficacy of this combination, which may merit further preclinical investigation and exploration for a clinical trial concept.

• GWAS Results from Danjou et al, Nature Genetics 2015

  We report genome-wide association study results for the levels of A1, A2 and fetal hemoglobins, analyzed for the first time concurrently. Integrating high-density array genotyping and whole-genome sequencing in a large general population cohort from Sardinia, we detected 23 associations at 10 loci. Five signals are due to variants at previously undetected loci: MPHOSPH9, PLTP-PCIF1, ZFPM1 (FOG1), NFIX and CCND3. Among the signals at known loci, ten are new lead variants and four are new independent signals. Half of all variants also showed pleiotropic associations with different hemoglobins, which further corroborated some of the detected associations and identified features of coordinated hemoglobin species production.

• CASCADE metastatic melanoma study

  In this study we analyse the evolution of human melanoma from early to late disease in patients by sampling their tumours at multiple sites and times. Whole exome and genome sequencing data from tumour samples reveals only limited gain of point mutations generally, with net mutational loss in some metastases. In contrast, melanoma evolution is dominated by whole genome doubling and large-scale aneuploidy, in which widespread loss of heterozygosity sculpts the burden of point mutations, neoantigens and structural variants even in treatment-naïve and primary cutaneous melanomas in some patients. These results imply that dysregulation of genomic integrity is a key driver of selective clonal advantage during melanoma progression.

• Comprehensive Deep Sequencing Atlas in HCC tumors

  Establishment of a comprehensive deep sequencing atlas focused on Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) tumors, employing Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), RNA Sequencing (RNAseq), and Whole Exome Sequencing (WES). The atlas aims to unravel the intricate genetic landscape of HCC, providing a detailed characterization of genomic alterations, transcriptomic profiles, and key mutations associated with this liver cancer. The integration of WGS, RNAseq, and WES data offers a holistic perspective, facilitating a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving HCC pathogenesis. The resulting atlas serves as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and the broader scientific community, contributing to advancements in HCC diagnostics, prognostics, and therapeutic interventions.

• Single-cell profiling of neoantigen-specific T cells in lung cancers treated with neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade

  We study the expression profile of MANA-specific T cells, we used the MANA functional expansion of specific T cells (MANAFEST) assay in neoadjuvant anti-PD-1-treated lung cancers and applied their T cell receptor’s (TCR) complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) as a “barcode” to track and analyze their transcriptional programs in the tumor microenvironment using single cell TCR sequencing coupled with single cell RNA sequencing. We revealed distinct phenotype for MANA- and virus-specific clones in TIL and adjacent normal lung, regardless of response. MANA-specific T cells show features that drive the differences between responders and non-responders.

• Durvalumab Plus Tremelimumab Alone or in Combination with Low-Dose or Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Refractory to Previous PD(L)-1 Therapy: an Open-Label, Multicentre, Randomised, Phase 2 Trial

  Brief SummaryThis randomized phase II trial studies the side effects of durvalumab and tremelimumab and to see how well they work with or without high or low-dose radiation therapy in treating patients with colorectal or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with durvalumab and tremelimumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving durvalumab and tremelimumab with radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with colorectal or non-small cell lung cancer.Detailed DescriptionPRIMARY OBJECTIVES:I.
