• Cas9-targeted-based long-read sequencing for genetic screening of RPE65 locus

  In order to compare sequencing performance of different technologies in a specific locus, we sequenced blood samples of five inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) patients harboring a monoallelic variant in RPE65 that remained uncharacterized with: 1) Clinical exome targeted sequencing (CES), 2) whole genome sequencing (WGS), and 3) Long-read sequencing on a MinION platform where CRISPR-Cas9 guide RNA probes were designed to target a 31 kb region including the entire RPE65 locus.

• Genome Landscape of Primary Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

  The purpose of the Australian ICGC Pancreatic Cancer Genome Sequencing Initiativestudy is to identify the common driving mutations underlying the initiation anddevelopment of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma in a large cohort of pancreatic cancerpatients (n=350). Matched genome sequences will be generated from normal tissue(duodenum) and resected primary tumour tissue in each patient using exome andwhole genome sequencing. The complete repertoire of somatic mutations will bedetermined (substitutions, indels, copy number changes and structural changes).Where possible, matched transcriptome sequencing will also be carried out todetermine locus activity, which mutations are actively expressed and whichrearrangements give rise to gene-fusion transcripts.

• RNA-seq, WGS and WES of Hepatocellular carcinomas, enriched in fibrolamellar carcinomas

  DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion is a specific driver event in fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC), a rare subtype of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurring in adolescents and young adults. In older patients, molecular determinants of HCC with mixed histological features of HCC and FLC (mixed-FLC/HCC) remain to be discovered.This study aims to molecularly caracterize mixed fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (mixed FLC/HCC) within the molecular liver tumors diversity, in respect of pure FLC and different HCC subtypes. This study reunites WGS data (n=3, Tumoral/Non-Tumoral pairs), WES data (n=43, Tumoral/Non-Tumoral pairs) and RNAseq data (n=66, Tumoral only). On a trascriptomic level, most of the mixed-FLC/HCC RNAseq clustered in a robust subgroup of tumors all showing mutation or translocation inactivating BAP1 that codes for the BRCA1 associated protein-1.

• Machine learning to detect the SINEs of cancer

  We previously described an approach called RealSeqS to evaluate aneuploidy in plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) through the amplification of ~350,000 repeated elements with a single primer. We hypothesized that an unbiased evaluation of the large amount of sequencing data obtained with RealSeqS might reveal other differences between plasma samples from patients with and without cancer. This hypothesis was tested through the development of a novel machine-learning approach called Alu Profile Learning Using Sequencing (A-PLUS) and its application to samples from 5108 individuals, 2037 with cancer and the remainder without cancer. Samples from cancer patients and controls were pre-specified into four cohorts used for: 1) model training, 2) analyte integration and threshold determination, 3) validation, and 4) reproducibility. A-PLUS alone provided a sensitivity of 40.5% across 11 different cancer types in the Validation Cohort, at a specificity of 98.5%. Combining A-PLUS with aneuploidy and 8 common protein biomarkers detected 51% of 1167 cancers at 98.9% specificity. We found that part of the power of A-PLUS could be ascribed to a single feature – the global reduction of AluS sub-family elements in the circulating DNA of cancer patients. We confirmed this reduction through the analysis of another independent dataset obtained with a very different approach (whole genome sequencing). The evaluation of Alu elements therefore has the potential to enhance the performance of several methods designed for the earlier detection of cancer.

• Epigenetic Biomarkers of Aging

  The aim of the study was to discover new epigenetic biomarkers of aging. We used a genome-wide screen for genetic loci showing consistent changes of DNA methylation with progressive aging. Blood DNA samples from 19 apparently healthy individuals aged 22-80 years obtained from the NINDS repositories were analyzed for DNA methylation using Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing. We followed the New England Biolabs (NEB) protocol for methylated adaptors as described previously. Briefly, 1 microgram of genomic DNA was spiked with 100 picograms of lambda phage DNA as the unmethylated standard and digested with MspI endonuclease at C’CGG sites. Ends of restriction fragments were filled in, 3’-dA tailed and methylated adaptors were ligated to the ends of restriction fragments. Bisulfite treatment using the Epitect kit (Qiagen) followed. Bisulfite-converted libraries were amplified using EpiMark Taq DNA polymerase (NEB) and primers with dual barcode indices. The libraries were pooled and sequenced on Illumina HiSeqX instrument using paired end reads of 150 bases. We used Bismark v0.23.1 to align the sequences to hg19 human genome assembly. We used methylKit v1.22.0 to analyze differential methylation in individuals of different ages.

• Microbiomic and immunogenic biomarkers of adjuvant chemotherapy efficacy in stage III colorectal cancer

  The standard treatment for stage III colorectal cancer (CRC) is surgery, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (AC). However, the efficacy of AC is limited, and approximately 30% of patients experience recurrence. Therefore, easily assessable molecular biomarkers that can predict response to AC are needed. Here, we aimed to identify predictive biomarkers of response to AC using tumor transcriptomic data. Tumor specimens from 253 patients who underwent surgery for stage III CRC between 1997 and 2019 were analyzed using RNA sequencing. Transcriptional subtyping and analyses of gut microbiome, immune cell fractions, and T-cell receptor (TCR) were performed to identify factors associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients treated with or without AC. Of 253 patients, 118 (46.6%) received AC. Twenty phyla and 799 species of the microbiomes were identified, among which Fusobacteria were identified in 247 patients (97.6%). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis of patients who received AC showed that intratumoral Fusobacterium and M1 macrophage abundance and diversity of TCR alpha and delta (TRAD) were independently associated with RFS. Fusobacterium and M1 macrophage abundance, and TRAD diversity were associated with the response to AC, suggesting that these factors could serve as biomarkers for personalized treatment in stage III CRC.

• The Immune Microenvironment Shapes Transcriptional and Genetic Heterogeneity in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

  Tumor microenvironment (TME) and somatic mutations drive progression of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Integrated bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of paired peripheral blood (PB) and lymph node (LN) samples from patients with treatment-naïve CLL showed upregulation of oncogenic processes in LN attributable to a minor population of activated tumor cells. A 10-gene tumor signature derived from this population was positively correlated with activated CD4+ T cells and M2 macrophages in the TME. Whole exome sequencing of paired PB and LN samples showed subclonal expansion in LN in some patients. In remaining patients with clonal stability between PB and LN, a T-cell inflamed TME was detected by RNA-seq. These data connect the TME with molecular events in the evolution of CLL.This cohort was later augmented with whole exome sequencing for 15 additional CLL samples. In an integrative analysis of genetic, transcriptomic, and epigenetic data, including the data from this study, we built new models to improve CLL patient prognostication.

• Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC): Multi-Ethnic ImmunoChip Study

  Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by an autoimmune attack that destroys the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells and is driven by diverse genetic and environmental factors. Between 8-100 chromosome regions are known to contain variants that alter T1D risk, substantially fewer than many other common diseases. Less is known about the contribution of T1D risk alleles in non-European populations, despite recent increases in T1D diagnoses in multiple non-European ancestry groups. To address these gaps in T1D genetics, we doubled the sample size from the previous largest T1D association study, genotyped ancestrally diverse T1D cases, controls, and affected families with the Illumina ImmunoChip array, and imputed additional variants using a large haplotype reference panel. After quality filtering, a total of 61,427 participants and 140,333 genotyped ImmunoChip variants were included in analysis, providing dense coverage in 188 autosomal regions ("ImmunoChip regions") and sparse genotyping in other regions of the genome. Each participant was assigned to one of five ancestry groups using k-means clustering of ImmunoChip genotype principal components: European (EUR, N = 47,319), African Admixed (AFR, N = 4,290), Finnish (FIN, N = 6,991), East Asian (EAS, N = 588) and Other Admixed (AMR, N = 2,239). In total, 16,159 T1D cases, 25,386 controls (unrelated) and 6,143 trio families (i.e., an affected child and both parents) were genotyped and included in association analyses. Imputation with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) multi-ethnic reference panel was used to improve discovery power and fine-mapping resolution. After imputation, the number of variants in ImmunoChip regions with imputation R-squared > 0.8 and MAF > 0.005 in each ancestry group was 322,084 (AFR), 166,274 (EUR), 163,612 (FIN), 137,730 (EAS) and 188,550 (AMR). Imputed genotypes were compared in the same participants who have whole genome sequencing data, resulting in high concordance. Unrelated cases and controls (N = 41,545) were analyzed initially, assuming an additive inheritance model. T1D trio families (N = 6,143 trios, some trio families were multiplex and analyzed as multiple trios) were analyzed separately, with meta-analysis of case-control and trio results used for discovery of regions associated with T1D (p < 5×10-8). Summary-level data at each SNP (genotype and imputed) for type 1 diabetes (outcome) are provided in dbGaP.

• Integrative genomic analysis identifies key pathogenic mechanisms in primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma

  Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) represents a clinically and pathologically distinct subtype of large B-cell lymphomas. Furthermore, molecular studies, including global gene expression profiling, have provided evidence that PMBL is more closely related to classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Although targeted sequencing studies have revealed a number of mutations involved in PMBL pathogenesis, a comprehensive description of disease-associated genetic alterations and perturbed pathways is still lacking. Here, we performed whole-exome sequencing of 95 PMBL tumors to inform on oncogenic driver genes and recurrent copy number alterations. The integration of somatic gene mutations with gene expression signatures provides further insights into genotype-phenotype interrelation in PMBL. We identified highly recurrent oncogenic mutations in the JAK-STAT and NF-kB pathways, and provide additional evidence of the importance of immune evasion in PMBL (CIITA, CD58, B2M, CD274, PDCD1LG2). Our analyses highlight the IRF-pathway as a putative novel hallmark with frequent alterations in multiple pathway members (IRF2BP2, IRF4, IRF8). In addition, our integrative analysis illustrates the importance of JAK1, RELB and EP300 mutations driving oncogenic signaling. The identified driver genes were significantly more frequently mutated in PMBL as compared to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, whereas only a limited number of genes were significantly different between PMBL and cHL, emphasizing the close relationship between these entities. Our study, performed on a large cohort of PMBL, highlights the importance of distinctive genetic alterations for disease taxonomy with relevance for diagnostic work-up and therapeutic decision-making.

• Relapse series of two Pediatric ALL patients

  In this proof of principle study, we performed whole genome sequencing of two cases with multiple relapses in order to investigate whether groups of mutations separated in time show distinct mutational signatures. In patient 1, who experienced two relapses, the analysis unraveled a continuous interplay of aberrant AID/APOBEC-associated activities. Patient 2 had three relapses. We identified episodic mutational processes at diagnosis and first relapse leading to mutations resembling UV light-driven DNA damage, and thiopurine-associated damage at first relapse.
