• Genomic Analysis of Extra-Nodal Natural Killer/T-Cell Lymphoma (ENKTCL)

  In this study, we performed extensive genetic profiling on 209 extra-nodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) nasal-type cases, including 174 Chinese from four hospitals in China, and 31 Hispanic and 4 Caucasian patients from City of Hope and Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. All of the cases were reviewed by experienced hematopathologists to confirm diagnosis. Written informed consents from patients were reviewed and approved by the institutional review board of each institution. We deposited targeted exon sequencing data of a selected 333-gene panel on the ENKTCL cases in dbGaP. DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues with an AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE Kit. A custom platform (Agilent SureSelect) was used to capture target exons from genomic DNA of ENKTCL tumors. DNA was fragmented to 200bp using a Covaris S220 Focused-ultrasonicator and was end-repaired and ligated to Illumina adaptors with a KAPA Hyper Prep Kit. Ligated products were purified and amplified with a 7-cycle PCR. Exome capture from the PCR products was performed using a SureSelect Target Enrichment Kit. The captured exomes were further amplified with an 8-cycle PCR and purified for cluster generation using the cBot cluster generation system with a HiSeq PE Cluster Kit V4. 100bp paired-end reads were generated from an Illumina HiSeq 2500 system with a HiSeq SBS Kit V4.

• The Spatio-Temporal Evolution of Multiple Myeloma from Baseline to Relapse-Refractory States

  In multiple myeloma, the spatio-temporal evolution patterns of cancer cells in the bone marrow remain largely unknown. Here, we applied spatial-longitudinal sequencing, including a total of 179 samples collected from 25 patients during a follow-up of up to 14 years. Our study highlights focal bone lesions (FL) as hotspots of tumor evolution and provides possible explanations for their negative prognostic impact. We show a close phylogenetic relationship between baseline FL and relapse clones. In patients with ≥3 FDG-PET-positive FL at diagnosis, relapse was driven by multiple distinct sub-clones, whereas in other patients, a single-cell expansion was typically seen (p<0.01). Applying imaging-guided sampling, we identified a novel evolutionary pattern with unique treatment-resistant sub-clones at distinct locations. We observed multiple selective clonal sweeps, resistant clones that can be hidden over years, and epigenetic modifier mutations as a new class of relapse aberrations. Here we show that imaging can enhance tumor evolution studies and response assessment. The sophisticated evolution mechanisms in myeloma and presence of single cells that can drive relapse even after 10 years of remission suggest that a prerequisite for curative therapies would be to overcome not only tumor heterogeneity but also dormancy.

• Novel Gene-Environment Regulatory Circuit in Chamber-Specific Growth of Perinatal Heart

  We report a case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and lactic acidosis in a 3-year-old female. Cardiac and skeletal muscle biopsies exhibited mitochondrial hyperplasia with decreased complex VI activity. Whole exome sequencing identified compound heterozygous variants, p.Arg333Trp and p.Val119Leu, in TSFM, a nuclear gene that encodes a mitochondrial translation elongation factor, resulting in impaired oxidative phosphorylation and juvenile hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

• Intercepting Progression from Pre-Invasive to Invasive Lung Adenocarcinoma

  An improved understanding of the biology of lung cancer is needed to intercept the disease at an early point in its progression. In this project we have used multidimensional methods to profile the tumor microenvironment (TME) and to determine the crosstalk between cancer cells and the TME in pre-invasive to invasive human lung non-solid adenocarcinomas. Comparative analysis of the cellular and molecular events associated with the distinct histological stages will lead to identification of the critical events triggering progression and thereby identify targets to intercept disease progression. The data being submitted represents the genomic profiles of patient samples with pre-invasive and invasive human lung adenocarcinomas.

• Dissecting Cell Composition and Drug Sensitivity in Human Adenoid Cystic Carcinomas (ACCs)

  The study reports the results of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and whole-exome sequencing (WES) experiments performed on malignant cells isolated by flow cytometry from seven patient-derived xenograft (PDX) lines established from human Adenoid Cystic Carcinomas (ACCs). Of these seven lines, five are characterized by well differentiated histology (ACCX5M1, ACCX6, ACCX14, ACCX22, SGTX6) and two by solid histology (ACCX9, ACCX11). Analysis by scRNA-seq of the well-differentiated PDX line ACCX22 led to identification of cell-surface markers (CD49f, KIT) that enabled the differential purification of the two major cellular components contained in well-differentiated ACCs: myoepithelial-like (CD49f-high/KIT-negative) and ductal-like (CD49f-low/KIT-positive) cells. The study reports the analysis by RNA-seq and WES of purified preparations of myoepithelial-like and ductal-like cells from well-differentiated PDX lines (ACCX5M1, ACCX6, ACCX14, ACCX22, SGTX6) and of ductal-like (CD49f-low/KIT-positive) cells from solid PDX lines (ACCX9, ACCX11).

• Genetic Analysis of Limb Malformation Disorders: Miller Syndrome Sequencing Study (LMD-MS)

  The overall goal of this project is to investigate the etiology and pathogenesis of malformations (i.e., birth defects) of the limb, concentrating on abnormalities of limb patterning such as limb deficiency/duplications and multiple congenital contractures. The exome sequences of two siblings and two unrelated individuals were obtained by massively parallel DNA sequencing. The four individuals were affected with Miller syndrome (OMIM: 263750). Additionally, the whole-genome sequences of a family of four were obtained with the method of Complete Genomics Incorporated (CGI). The two offspring were both affected with Miller syndrome and is the same sibling pair mentioned previously from whom exome sequences were also obtained.

• Longitudinal Studies of Patients with Familial Platelet Disorder with Associated Myeloid Malignancy (FPDMM)

  FPDMM (OMIM #601399) is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by defective megakaryocytic development, thrombocytopenia, platelet functional defects, and a life-long risk of developing hematological malignancies. FPDMM is caused by germline mutations in the RUNX1 gene, which encodes a master regulator of hematopoiesis. The overall lifetime risk of hematological malignancies in FPDMM patients is 35 - 45%. It is hypothesized that mutations in other genes cooperate with the germline RUNX1 mutations for leukemia development. However, it is not clear which genes need to be mutated for leukemia to develop and which biomarkers or clinical tests can be used to predict which patients will progress to leukemia. Likewise, there are no treatments and/or preventative measures that can reduce or stop disease progression except for stem cell transplantation, which is not available for all patients and may be associated with significant complications. To address these questions, we launched a longitudinal natural history study of patients associated with RUNX1 germline mutations at the NIH Clinical Center in early 2019 (Trial Registration ID: NCT03854318). The goals of this study are to: (1) perform comprehensive longitudinal phenotyping of FPDMM patients to document the full spectrum of both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic manifestations of the disease; and (2) perform extensive genomic analyses of FPDMM patient samples to identify cooperating genomic variants, which may confer growth advantage that leads to clonal expansion of affected hematopoietic cells that may serve as the precursor to malignancies. The data available through dbGaP include exome sequencing and RNA-seq data from these patients. Diverse germline mutation types were identified in the RUNX1 gene, including splice site mutations and large deletions, in addition to nucleotide substitutions and small indels. Somatic mutations, especially in genes associated with clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), were found in a substantial proportion of FPDMM patients who were leukemia-free. The findings suggest that the genomes in these patients are prone to somatic mutations and monitoring the dynamic changes of these somatic mutations prospectively may provide a way to predict progression to malignancies.

• Exome sequencing of autosomal recessive progressive external ophthalmoplegia (arPEO)

  Progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) is an inherited mitochondrial disease that follows either autosomal dominant or recessive forms of inheritance (adPEO or arPEO). AdPEO is a genetically heterogeneous disease and several genes including POLG1 and C10orf2/Twinkle have been identified as responsible genes. On the other hand, POLG1 was the only established gene causing arPEO with mitochondrial DNA deletions. We previously reported a case of PEO with unidentified genetic etiology. The patient was born of a first-cousin marriage. Therefore, the recessive form of inheritance was suspected. To identify the disease causing variant in this patient, we subjected the patient's DNA to whole-exome sequencing and narrowed down the candidate variants using public data and runs of homozygosity analysis.

• Very Low Tumor Mutation Burden Identifies Inflamed Recurrent Glioblastomas Responsive to Cancer Immunotherapy

  A subset of available tumors (with matched blood) from patients enrolled in a phase I clinical trial testing a recombinant poliovirus, published by Desjardins et al. NEJM 2018 (PMID:29943666), were analyzed by whole exome sequencing and RNA-seq. It was discovered that low tumor mutation burden correlated with survival outcome, and also discovered that low tumor mutation burden correlated with higher inflammatory gene signatures by RNA-seq.
