• Circulating Tumor DNA Sequencing Provides Comprehensive Mutation Profiling for Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors

  Tumor molecular profiling is increasingly important for the diagnosis and clinical management of childhood brain tumors, including diffuse midline glioma (DMG). We established a targeted deep sequencing approach using the TruSight Oncology 500 ctDNA exome panel to detect tumor genomic mutations and copy number variations in circulating tumor DNA from children diagnosed with DMG. In this study, we present the sensitivity, specificity, and clinical implications of our liquid biopsy sequencing approach for tumor genome profiling in children with DMG.

• Whole-Genome Sequencing Reveals Complex Genomic Features Underlying Anti-CD19 CAR T-Cell Treatment Failure in Lymphoma

  We performed Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) on 100 tumor and matched germline samples from 49 CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-19)-treated diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. We found that the presence of complex structural variants, APOBEC (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide) mutational signatures, and genomic damage from reactive oxygen species predict CAR-19 resistance. BAM files will be available through dbGaP.

• Genomic Analysis of Nucleic Acid Sequences from Pancreatic Cancer

  Our study aims to perform multi-omics analysis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. We performed dual single-cell RNA sequencing and whole genome sequencing on fresh tumor specimens and dual bulk RNA-sequencing and 16S amplicon sequencing on frozen tumor specimens to identify human and non-human nucleic acid sequences. Additionally, we identified microbial sequences and found that bacterial taxonomic profiles from the same sample strongly correlated across technologies.

• Mayo Clinic Adult Diffuse Glioma Illumina OncoArray SNP data

  These data are from adult diffuse glioma subjects genotyped on the Illumina OncoArray. Data from this study were used for case control association studies and developing polygenic risk scores.

• Metastatic Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Tumor Purity Assessment from Whole Exome Sequencing Data

  As molecular medicine wields greater and greater influence on cancer patient care, including therapeutic selection, it becomes increasingly important to understand the power and deficiencies of computational tools used in decision making processes. Here we use a set of unselected metastatic colorectal tumor samples in a head-to-head comparison between the calculation of stromal content by a board certified pathologist, versus that derived from whole exome sequencing and purity assessment by a variety of common computational methods. We find that in about 1/2 of the samples the computational methods each do a poor job of assessing the percent stromal contamination, and as a result, tumor variant allele frequencies (VAFs) are low or undetected, whereas analysis of organoids derived from the same tumors yielded much higher VAFs in keeping with their lower stromal content. The whole exome sequence of our samples is available via dbGaP, accession phs003059.v1.p1.

• Whole Exome Sequencing of Calcitonin Producing Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (CT-pNENs) Indicates a Unique Molecular Signature

  Calcitonin-producing pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (CT-pNENs), which can mimic clinical and laboratory features of medullary thyroid carcinoma, are an extremely rare clinical entity with approximately 60 cases reported worldwide. The molecular profile of CT-pNENs is not yet known. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on tumor and corresponding serum samples of five patients with increased calcitonin serum levels and histologically proven calcitonin-positive CT-pNENs. cBioPortal analysis and gene enrichment analysis with DAVID were performed to validate candidate genes. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect protein expression of MUC4 and MUC16 in CT-pNEN specimens. Common somatic mutations of pNENs like MEN1, ATRX and PIK3CA were identified in cases of CT-pNENs. New somatic SNVs in ATP4A, HES4, and CAV3 have not yet been described in CT-pNENs. Pathogenic germline mutations in FGFR4 and DPYD were found in three of five cases. Mutations of CALCA (calcitonin) and the corresponding receptor CALCAR were found in all five tumor samples, but none of them resulted in clinical or protein sequelae. All five tumor cases showed single nucleotide variations (SNVs) in MUC4, and four cases showed SNVs in MUC16, both of which were membrane-bound mucins. Immunohistochemistry showed protein expression of MUC4 and MUC16 in one case each, and the liver metastasis of a third case was double positive for MUC4 and MUC16. The homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) score of all tumors was low.CT-pNENs have a unique molecular signature compared to other pNEN subtypes, specifically involving the FGFR4, DPYD, MUC4, MUC16 and the KRT family genes. However, these WES data from only five cases must be interpreted with caution because causal interpretation of the mutational landscape in CT-pNENs is difficult. Further research is needed to explain differences in pathogenesis compared with other pNENs. In particular, multi-omics data such as RNASeq, methylation, and whole genome sequencing could be informative.

• Phenotypic Signatures of Circulating Neoantigen-Reactive CD8+ T Cells in Patients with Metastatic Cancers

  Following enrichment of neoantigen-reactive T cells using pHLA tetramers or cell-surface markers, we performed single-cell sequencing (RNA-seq and TCR-seq) of circulating CD8+ T cells from metastatic cancer patient samples (Melanoma, Colorectal, and Breast cancer). In samples from previously studied patients, we identified cells bearing neoantigen-reactive T cell receptors and were able to study their phenotypic program. By studying the circulating neoantigen-reactive T cell program, a gene-signature was derived to identify neoantigen-reactive T cells from blood samples prospectively.

• Urothelial Cancer - Genomic Analysis to Improve Patient Outcomes and Research (UC-GENOME): A Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN)-Led Collaborative Research Pilot Study

  UC-GENOME is a real-world cohort of patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). The study consisted of two co-equal aims: 1) to provide targeted DNA sequencing for clinical decision making at no cost to patients; and 2) to create a resource for collaborative translational science including a clinically annotated biobank. The submitted data represents the foundational analysis of 218 patients accrued at 7 academic medical centers. The analysis includes 176 patients with both targeted DNA sequencing and RNA sequencing. The genomic data was combined with clinical variables to model response to chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Due to additional sharing restrictions, data from one site can be found in phs003094.

• Single Cell RNA-Sequencing in Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma

  This study of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma aimed to profile individual malignant and stromal cells in treatment-naive head and neck adenoid cystic carcinoma, with or without metastatic cervical lymph nodes. Clinical and pathologic information was collected on all patients, in addition to a fresh biopsy sample from the primary tumor and/or metastatic lymph node at the time of initial surgery. A fresh biopsy sample from a matched local recurrence was also collected for a single unique patient. Biopsy specimens were processed for single cell RNA-seq. A total of ~1,700 single cells from seven participants were included in the final dataset.

• Multi-Modal Single-Cell and Whole-Genome Sequencing of Small, Frozen Clinical Specimens

  Clinical application of single-cell sequencing technologies has been hampered by their need for quick processing of relatively large, fresh specimens. Here, we benchmarked the performance of a new technique for single-cell sequencing from snap-frozen clinical samples, vs. sequencing from fresh samples, on 5 samples from cutaneous melanoma brain metastasis, 6 samples from NSCLC brain metastasis, and 3 from uveal melanoma primary tumor. Additionally, we performed frozen sample sequencing of 20 uveal melanoma liver metastasis samples, and 3 cutaneous melanoma extracranial metastasis samples. Finally, for selected groups of the above-mentioned samples, we also performed TCR sequencing, SlideSeqV2 spatial transcriptomics, ultra-shallow whole-genome sequencing, and whole-exome sequencing, to present a comprehensive multi-modal profiling of all datasets.
