• The Contribution of De Novo Coding Mutations to Meningomyelocele

  Meningomyelocele (MM) is considered a genetically complex disease resulting from the failure of the neural tube to close; a neural tube defect (NTD). Patients display neuromotor disability and frequent hydrocephalus requiring ventricular shunting. A few genes have been proposed to contribute to disease susceptibility, but most risk remains unexplained. 851 MM trios were recruited and we found 187 likely gene disrupting or damaging missense de novo mutations (DNMs) that are estimated to contribute to disease risk. These DNMs collectively define networks including actin cytoskeleton and microtubule-based processes, axon guidance, and histone modification. Gene validation demonstrates partial or complete loss of function, impaired signaling and defective neural tube closure in Xenopus embryos. Our results suggest DNMs make key contributions to MM risk, and highlight critical pathways required for neural tube closure in human embryogenesis. Data for 245 WES trios and 1 quad are available through dbGaP.

• Transgenerational Transmission of Post-Zygotic Mutations Suggests Symmetric Contribution of First Two Blastomeres to Human Germline

  Skin and blood samples were collected from four phenotypically normal individuals (mother, father, and children) from a randomly selected family. Whole genomes of the samples from these individuals were sequenced to a depth of 30X-200X. Sequencing data for the mother was previously analyzed and is available at NDA collection #2961. Sequenced reads from the children and father were aligned to the human reference genome (hg19) generating BAM files for each individual. We used post-zygotic mutations in the mother to trace cell lineages across human generations. Analysis of this family demonstrated that different cell lineages were transmitted to offspring. Coupled with analysis of publicly available data, this result revealed a fundamental difference between soma and germline in lineage allocation and suggested a 50:50 contribution of the first two blastomeres to the germline.

• Recurrent CLTC::SYK fusions and CSF1R mutations in juvenile xanthogranuloma of soft tissue

  In this study, the genomic landscape of extracutaneous juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) was analyzed. By leveraging the Dutch Nationwide Pathology Databank (Palga), tumor samples were obtained from different academic medical centers in the Netherlands. The study was approved by the Palga Scientific Council and Privacy Committee (LZV-2016-183) and the Institutional Review Board of Leiden University Medical Center (B19.074). In addition, the study was approved by the Biobank and Data Access Committee of the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology (PMCLAB2024.0512). Provided are whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) data of 3 histiocytic tumors with CLTC::SYK fusions. WTS was performed in the routine workflow of the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology (as described in Hehir-Kwa, et al. JCO Precis Oncol 2022). RNA was derived from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissue (n=1) or from frozen tumor tissue (n=2).

• Whole-genome sequencing of BRCA-mutant breast cancer patient samples from tumour, germline tissue and plasma

  The use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to profile mutational signatures presents a non-invasive opportunity for understanding cancer mutational processes. In this study we developed MisMatchFinder, a liquid biopsy approach for mutational signature detection using low- coverage whole-genome sequencing of ctDNA. Through analysis of plasma samples across multiple different cancers, we demonstrated that MisMatchFinder accurately infers single-base and doublet-base substitutions as well as indels to enhance detection of ctDNA and clinically relevant mutational signatures. This study contains fastq files from whole-genome sequencing of temporally matched tumour (fresh frozen biopsies), blood germline and plasma samples collected from a BRCA1-mutant breast cancer patient to directly compare mutation signature analysis using gold-standard tumour-germline paired variant calling with our novel ctDNA-based method (MisMatchFinder).

• Transcriptomic profiles of tumor samples from patients with stage I-III TNBC treated with anthracycline-taxane chemotherapy plus fasting-mimicking diet plus/minus metformin in the context of the BREAKFAST trial (NCT04248998)

  BREAKFAST is a randomized, non-comparative, phase II trial enrolling stage I-III (cT>1cm) TNBC pts treated with neoadjuvant doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide q3w for 4 cycles, followed by weekly paclitaxel for 12 cycles. Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive: CT + triweekly 5-day FMD cycles (arm A), or CT + FMD + daily metformin (1700 mg) (arm B). The primary study objective was to investigate if one or both experimental treatments were able to increase pCR rates when compared to anthracycline-taxane CT alone according to historical data. Secondary/exploratory endpoints included biomarker analyses based on tumor transcriptomics analyses. Specifically, we collected fresh-frozen tumor samples at baseline and 14-21 days after the first treament cycle and we analyzed the RNA-seq profiles to identify early predictors of treatment activity.

• Methylation-Based Immune Deconvolution in Prostate Cancer Patients Before and After Radical Prostatectomy

  To explore whether surgical treatment for prostate cancer leads to long-term immune changes, we conducted a pilot study of n=11 prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy. We also included n=8 patients managed with active surveillance as a comparison group. We examined intra-individual changes in circulating immune cell subsets using serial blood samples collected pre- and approximately 6-months post-prostatectomy, and from matched time points for the patients managed on active surveillance. Immune cell subsets were deconvoluted using genome-wide methylation data. We observed no meaningful changes in circulating immune cell subsets in either patient group, suggesting that any surgery-induced immune changes to the circulating immune profile may not be long-lasting. The genome-wide methylation data from the two time points will be made available through dbGaP.

• Immune Determinants of Resistance to PD-1 Blockade in Renal Cell Carcinoma

  We performed an integrated bulk and single-cell transcriptomic analysis of tumors from 102 advanced renal cell carcinoma patients enrolled in a phase II clinical trial of frontline nivolumab (NCT03117309) to investigate determinants of response to anti-PD1 monotherapy. The present study includes 112 archival or pre-treatment tumors of clear cell and non-clear cell histologies from 90 patients that underwent bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). For 76 patients, 74 of whom had matched RNA-seq, whole exome sequencing (WES) was also performed on tumor samples as well as matched peripheral blood. Additionally, 19 fresh tumor samples from 17 patients, including pre and post-treatment samples and mixed histologies, were locally cryopreserved and centrally processed for single cell RNA (scRNA-seq) and TCR (scTCR-seq) sequencing. 7 patients had matched scRNA/scTCRseq, RNAseq, and WES.

• Next Generation Sequencing to Predict Risk of Events from Coronary Artery Disease

  Coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI) remain the leading cause of death worldwide and in the US. In recent years, clinical studies that considered intermediate phenotypes (phenotypic or genomic data isolated between DNA and the main disease phenotype) have greatly enhanced our understanding of complex traits like CAD by enabling inference of biological networks from the combination of genetic and genomic datasets isolated from disease-relevant tissue(s). The NGS-PREDICT study used whole transcriptome sequence data generated from primary macrophages derived in vitro from venous blood that was obtained from CAD cases and non-CAD controls. This study provided a valuable resource for the validation of biomarkers identified in STARNET NGS data from macrophages obtained from patients with and without CAD. It also can be used as a reference dataset for the study of metabolic syndrome as well as other systemic inflammatory diseases.

• Prospective Investigation of Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis (PIOPED-BioLINCC)

  Data Access NOTE: Please refer to the “Authorized Access” section below for information about how access to the data from this accession differs from many other dbGaP accessions. Objectives: To determine the sensitivities and specificities of ventillation/perfusion (V/Q) lung scans for acute pulmonary embolism (PE).Participants: A total of 1487 participants were enrolled.Conclusions: Almost all participants with pulmonary embolism had abnormal scans of high, intermediate, or low probability, but so did most without pulmonary embolism. Only in a minority of participants did the clinical assessment combined with the V/Q scan interpretation improve the overall chance of reaching a correct diagnosis of acute PE. Although a high probability scan usually indicated the presence of PE, only a small number of participants with PE had a high probability scan. Reference: PIOPED Investigators, 1990, PMID: 2332918.

• Immediate Postoperative Minimal Residual Disease Detection with MAESTRO Predicts Recurrence and Survival in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Treated with Surgery

  We selected 24 patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who were surgically treated. MAESTRO, our ultrasensitive, tumor-informed, mutation enrichment sequencing assay, was applied in a pooled format (MAESTRO-Pool) to plasma samples collected from these patients at baseline (pre-op) and postoperatively. We show that detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) 1 to 9 days after surgery is associated with significantly worse survival. Many plasma samples also had tumor fractions detected below 100 parts-per-million, the detection limit for first-generation commercial assays, highlighting the need for more sensitive ctDNA assays. Here we provide whole genome sequencing of matched tumor biopsy and normal germline DNA from 24 patients that were used to identify somatic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) to be tracked using our MAESTRO-Pool assay.
