• Zanidatamab in Patients with Early Stage HER2-positive Breast Cancer: The NeoZanHER Phase 2 Single-Arm Open-Label Trial

  Strategies are needed to avoid chemotherapy in early stage HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BC). We conducted a neoadjuvant therapy trial with zanidatamab, a dual HER2-directed bispecific antibody, in patients with 1-3 cm, node-negative HER2+ BC. Primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR). Secondary endpoints were radiographic response by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. US and MRI, pathologic response by residual cancer burden (RCB), rate of adverse events, feasibility of accrual and biomarkers of response. Fifteen patients with HER2 IHC 3+, and 5 with HER2 IHC 2+/ISH+ BC were enrolled. Patients received zanidatamab 20 mg/kg every 2 weeks for 6 (n=11) or 10 doses (n=9). Fourteen patients also received endocrine therapy. At 6 weeks, there was a significant decrease in tumor size and volume. At surgery, six patients (30%) had pCR, meeting the prespecified pCR target, and four had limited RCB (RCB-1; 20%). Treatment was well tolerated. All patients with pCR had HER2 IHC 3+ tumors, ERBB2 amplification on WES, PAM50 HER2-high subtype, and a trend towards higher HER2 mRNA expression (p=0.06). In conclusion, de-escalation to HER2-targeted therapy alone may be feasible. Further research is needed to refine patient selection.

• I-BCT-1 (Improved Breast Cancer Therapy) - WES

  A prospective, randomized neoadjuvant study that evaluates DNA-based biomarkers to identify breast cancer patients most likely to benefit from carboplatin (Cb). While Cb improves outcomes in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), responses vary, and its role in aggressive hormone receptor–positive breast cancer (HR+BC) remains uncertain. Patients (N = 187) with early, high-risk, HER2-negative cT2-4 tumors received 12 weekly paclitaxel with or without Cb, followed by four cycles of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide. Transcriptomic analysis data for the tumor samples in this study is available in the matching Study titled I-BCT-1 (Improved Breast Cancer Therapy) - WXS.

• Subtype-specific mutational landscapes in core-binding factor AML identify recurrent ZBTB7A alterations in t(8;21) AML

  This study investigates subtype-specific mutational profiles in core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) using whole-exome sequencing. The dataset includes 16 patients with CBF-AML, comprising 11 patients with t(8;21) and 5 patients with inv(16). The study also evaluates recurrent ZBTB7A alterations in t(8;21) AML.

• DLGG sequencing

  NGS panel based sequencing of disseminated pediatric low-grade glioma (DLGG). This is a dataset from the international DLGG consortium of patients from 0-44 years of age at diagnosis, and diagnosed between 1988-2024. Sequencing was done at the Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto, Canada). The goal of this study was to define the genetic drivers in DLGG and compare them to non-disseminated pediatric low-grade gliomas.

• Genetic landscape of kidney failure in Israel

  Kidney failure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and a substantial fraction of cases has an underlying monogenic cause that often remains undiagnosed. This study aimed to characterise the genetic landscape of kidney failure and to estimate the diagnostic yield of exome sequencing in a nationwide cohort of dialysis-treated patients in Israel. Proband exome sequencing was performed and variants were interpreted according to ACMG/AMP guidelines to identify molecular diagnoses in known kidney disease genes.

• UK10K_NEURO_ASD_FI

  In the UK10K project we propose a series of complementary genetic approaches to find new low frequency/rare variants contributing to disease phenotypes. These will be based on obtaining the genome wide sequence of 4000 samples from the TwinsUK and ALSPAC cohorts (at 6x sequence coverage), and the exome sequence (protein coding regions and related conserved sequence) of 6000 samples selected for extreme phenotypes. Our studies will focus primarily on cardiovascular-related quantitative traits, obesity and related metabolic traits, neurodevelopmental disorders and a limited number of extreme clinical phenotypes that will provide proof-of-concept for future familial trait sequencing. We will analyse directly quantitative traits in the cohorts and the selected traits in the extreme samples, and also use imputation down to 0.1% allele frequency to extend the analyses to further sample sets with genome wide genotype data. In each case we will investigate indels and larger structural variants as well as SNPs, and use statistical methods that combine rare variants in a locus or pathway as well as single-variant approaches.These samples are a subset of a nationwide collection of Finnish autism spectrum disorder (ASD) samples. The samples have been collected from Central Hospitals across Finland in collaboration with the University of Helsinki. The samples consist of 93 individuals with a diagnosis of autistic disorder or Asperger syndrome from 36 families with at least two affected individuals. Of these individuals, 16 can be genealogically connected to form two large pedigrees originating from Central Finland, suggesting possible genetic risk factors shared identical by descent within the pedigrees. All diagnoses are based on ICD-10 and DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for ASDs. Additional phenotypic data is available for a subset of the individuals.For further information with regard to this cohort please contact Aarno Palotie (Aarno.palotie@helsinki.fi).

• Exome-sequencing identifies new oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes recurrently altered in hepatocellular carcinoma

  Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy. High-resolution copy number analysis of 125 tumors of which 24 were subjected to whole-exome sequencing identified 135 homozygous deletions and 994 somatic gene mutations with predicted functional consequences. We identified new recurrent alterations in 4 genes (ARID1A, RPS6KA3, NFE2L2 and IRF2) not previously described in HCC. Functional analyses demonstrated tumor suppressor properties for IRF2 whose inactivation, exclusively found in hepatitis B virus related tumors, leads to impaired TP53 function. Alternatively, inactivation of proteins involved in chromatin remodeling was frequent and predominant in alcohol related tumors. Moreover, activation of the oxidative stress metabolism and inactivation of RPS6KA3 were new pathways associated with WNT/beta-catenin activation, thereby suggesting a cooperative effect in tumorigenesis. This study shows the dramatic somatic genetic diversity in HCC, it reveals interactions between oncogene and tumor suppressor gene mutations markedly related to specific risk factors.
