• Whole Genome Profiling to Detect Schizophrenia Methylation Markers

  Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a devastating psychiatric disorder. The aim of this study was to detect DNA methylation (5meC) profiles in whole blood associated with SCZ. The sample consisted of schizophrenia cases and controls selected from national population registers in Sweden. We employed MBD protein-based enrichment of the methylated DNA fraction, followed by single end sequencing (50 bp reads) on the SOLiD platform. To improve methylome-wide coverage we used an existing protocol variant, which increases the relative number of fragments from CpG poor regions. To analyze the data, we used an analysis pipeline described elsewhere7, that was designed specifically for MBD-seq and included alignment, quality control (QC) of reads and samples, coverage calculations for the 26,752,702 autosomal CpGs in the reference genome using a non-parametric estimate of the fragment size distribution, an in silico experiment to identify CpGs in loci with alignment problems, a 2-stage adaptive algorithm to combine data from correlated adjacent CpG sites in "blocks", principal component analysis (PCA), association testing, bioinformatics annotation and network analysis. After QC, 1459 subjects with on average 32.4 million high quality reads remained. Association testing was performed on 4.3 million high quality blocks after regressing out possible assay related technical artifacts, sex/age, and unmeasured confounders through the PCA components.

• Bone Microarchitecture

  Osteoporosis affects more than 28 million people in the United States and the lifetime risk for osteoporosis-related morbidity is higher than a woman's combined risk for breast cancer, endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer. Health care expenditures for osteoporotic patients in this country are currently nearly 13 billion dollars per annum and are predicted to increase markedly in the next decades due the aging of the population; therefore, it is important to understand the factors that contribute to bone strength and fracture risk. With the advent of skeletal imaging modalities such as high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), it is now possible to study the genetics of more highly refined peripheral skeletal microarchitecture phenotypes. Because these refined phenotypes have not been measured in many cohort studies, this project was a collaborative effort to include almost all the existing data on HR-pQCT of the radius and tibia, and genetics from around the world. Cohorts involved in the discovery included: 1) Framingham Osteoporosis Study, 2) Mayo Clinic cohort; 3) Geneva Retirees cohort; 4) OFELY cohort from Lyon France; 5) STRAMBO cohort from Lyon France; 6) Swedish Male cohorts. Replication cohorts undergoing de novo genotyping include: 1) QUALYOR cohort from Lyon France; 2) CaMOS cohort from Canada. Other than the Framingham cohort and the Swedish male cohorts, all discovery cohorts underwent genome wide genotyping with the Affymetrix Axiom Biobank array that had common variants along with exome content based on the early findings from the Exome Sequencing Project. All genotype data from the discovery cohorts were then imputed using the Haplotype Reference Consortium reference panel. Variants for replication genotyping using the Kasp technology were selected based on novelty compared with previously identified loci using DXA phenotypes, minor allele frequency, underlying LD structure within a locus, and likelihood of a variant being functional as assessed using various algorithms for coding and non-coding variants.

• Targeted Sequencing of 173 genes

  Targeted sequencing of 173 genes in 2433 primary breast tumours. Data includes 2433 tumour samples, 523 adjacent normal (breast) samples and 127 blood samples. Libraries were prepared with Illumina's Nextera custom enrichment kit targetting all the exons of the most frequently mutated breast cancer genes. Libraries were multiplexed (48 libraries per lane) and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq 2000 (100bp paired-end reads). Somatic mutations were calling with a custom pipeline. We identified 40 mutation-driver (Mut-driver) genes, and determined associations between mutations, driver CNA profiles, clinical-pathological parameters and survival. We assessed the clonal states of Mut-driver mutations, and estimated levels of intra-tumour heterogeneity using mutant-allele fractions. The results emphasize the importance of genome-based stratification of breast cancer, and have important implications for designing therapeutic strategies. Referece: Pereira et al.

• Undifferentiated sarcomas develop through distinct evolutionary pathways

  Undifferentiated sarcomas (USARC) of adults are diverse, rare and aggressive soft tissue cancers. Recent efforts have confirmed that USARC exhibit one of the highest burdens of structural aberrations across human cancer. Here, we sought to unravel the genomic basis of this structural complexity by integrating whole genome sequencing, ploidy analysis and methylation profiling of 53 USARC. We identified whole genome doubling as a prevalent and pernicious force in USARC tumourigenesis. Deconvolution of the complex copy number and rearrangement landscapes show distinct signatures associated with chromothripsis, early-haploidy, and successive whole-genome-doubling events, suggesting four divergent models of sarcoma development. We show similar distinct evolutionary tumourigenic pathways in different sarcoma subtypes from the Cancer Genome Atlas. Thirteen percent of tumours exhibited a hypermutator phenotype, opening new avenues for clinical management such as immunotherapy, whilst the period prior to and between genome doubling events may represent clinically relevant interventional points in USARC.

• The landscape of somatic mutation in normal colorectal epithelial cells

  The colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence has provided a paradigmatic framework for understanding the successive somatic genetic events and consequent clonal expansions leading to cancer. As for most cancer types, however, understanding of the earliest phases of colorectal neoplastic change, which may occur in morphologically normal tissue, is comparatively limited because of the difficulty of detecting somatic mutations in normal cells. Each colorectal crypt is a small clone of cells derived from a single recently-existing stem cell. Here, we sequenced hundreds of normal crypts from 42 individuals. Signatures of multiple mutational processes were revealed, some ubiquitous and continuous, others only found in some individuals, in some crypts or during some phases of the cell lineage from zygote to adult cell. Likely driver mutations were present in ~1% of normal colorectal crypts in middle-aged individuals, indicating that adenomas and carcinomas are rare outcomes of a pervasive process of neoplastic change across morphologically normal colorectal epithelium.

• The mutational landscape of normal human endometrial epithelium

  All normal somatic cells are thought to acquire mutations. However, characterisation of the patterns and consequences of somatic mutation in normal tissues is limited. Uterine endometrium is a dynamic tissue undergoing cyclical shedding and reconstitution lined by a gland-forming epithelium. Whole genome sequencing of normal endometrial glands showed that most are clonal cell populations derived from a recent common ancestor, with mutation burdens differing from other normal cell types and many fold lower than endometrial cancers. Mutational signatures found ubiquitously account for most mutations. Many, in some women all, endometrial glands are colonised by cell clones carrying driver mutations in cancer genes, often with multiple drivers. Total and driver mutation burdens increase with age, but are also influenced by other factors, including body mass index and parity, and clones with drivers often originate during early decades of life. The somatic mutational landscapes of normal cells differ between cell types and are revealing the procession of neoplastic change leading to cancer.

• Metabolic reprogramming towards OXPHOS identifies a novel therapeutic target for mantle cell lymphoma

  Metabolic reprogramming is linked to cancer cell growth and proliferation, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance in a multitude of cancers. Targeting dysregulated metabolic pathways to overcome resistance, an urgent clinical need in all relapsed/refractory cancers, remains difficult. Through genomics analysis of clinical specimens, we show that metabolic reprogramming towards oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glutaminolysis is associated with therapeutic resistance to the Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), an incurable B-cell lymphoma with poor clinical outcomes. Inhibition of OXPHOS with a novel, clinically applicable small molecule, IACS-010759, which targets complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, results in significant growth inhibition in vitro and in vivo in ibrutinib-resistant patient-derived cancer models. This work suggests that targeting metabolic pathways to subvert therapeutic resistance is a clinically viable approach to treat highly refractory malignancies.

• A compendium of mutational signatures due to environmental exposures

  Whole-genome-sequencing (WGS) of human tumours has revealed distinct mutation patterns that hint at the causative origins of cancer. We examined mutational-signatures in 324 WGS of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) following exposure to known or suspected environmental carcinogens. 79 agents were tested with or without metabolic activation at concentrations that produced measurable cytotoxicity; 41 yielded characteristic substitution mutational signatures. Some exhibit similarity with signatures found in human tumours. Additionally, 6 agents produced double-substitution signatures and 8 produced indel signatures. Investigating mutation asymmetries across genome topography reveals fully functional mismatch and transcription-coupled repair pathways in iPSCs. Primary adducts induced by environmental carcinogens can be resolved by disparate repair/replicative pathways, resulting in an assortment of signature outcomes even for a single mutagen. This compendium of experimentally-induced mutational-signatures permits further exploration of roles of environmental agents in cancer aetiology, and underscores how human stem cell DNA is directly vulnerable to environmental agents.

• Direct transcriptional consequences of somatic mutation in breast cancer

  The disordered transcriptomes of cancer encompass direct effects of somatic mutation on transcription; co-ordinated secondary alterations in transcriptional pathways; and increased transcriptional noise. To catalogue the rules governing how somatic mutation Overall, 59% of 6980 exonic substitutions were expressed. Compared to other classes, nonsense mutations showed lower expression levels than expected with patterns characteristic of nonsense-mediated decay. 14% of 4234 genomic rearrangements caused transcriptional abnormalities, including exon skips, exon reusage, fusion transcripts and premature poly-adenylation. We found productive, stable transcription from sense-to-antisense gene fusions and gene-to-intergenic rearrangements, suggesting that these mutation classes may drive more transcriptional disruption than previously suspected. Systematic integration of transcriptome with genome data therefore reveals the rules by which transcriptional machinery interprets somatic mutation.

• Impact of mutational profiles on response of primary oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancers to oestrogen deprivation

  Presurgical studies allow study of the relationship between mutations and response of estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer to aromatase inhibitors (AIs) but have been limited to small biopsies. Here in Phase I of this study, we perform exome sequencing on baseline, surgical core-cuts and blood from 60 patients (40 AI treated, 20 Controls). In poor responders (based on Ki67 change) we find significantly more somatic mutations than good responders. Subclones exclusive to baseline or surgical cores   occur in approximately 30% of tumours. In Phase II we combine targeted sequencing on another 28 treated patients with Phase I. We find six genes frequently mutated: PIK3CA, TP53, CDH1, MLL3, ABCA13 and FLG with 71% concordance between paired cores. TP53 mutations are associated with poor response. We conclude that multiple biopsies are essential for confident mutational profiling of ER+ breast cancer and TP53 mutations are associated with resistance to oestrogen deprivation therapy.

  This set of samples is composed of eight young people (7-16 years old) that have developed melanoma with first-degree relatives that have also developed cancer, which suggests a genetic component to their disease. Here we want to sequence these samples in order to find the causative mutations. As these samples do not carry any of the high-penetrance mutations known to date, finding the genes(s) responsible will offer new insights into the genetic mechanisms underlying predisposition to melanoma.

• Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type, displays frequent inactivating germline and somatic mutations in SMARCA4

  Small cell carcinoma of the ovary of hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is an extremely rare, aggressive cancer affecting children and young women. We identified germline and somatic inactivating mutations in the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling gene SMARCA4 in 75% (9/12) of SCCOHT patients in addition to SMARCA4 protein loss in 82% (14/17) of SCCOHT tumors, but in only 0.4% (2/485) of other primary ovarian tumors. These data implicate SMARCA4 in SCCOHT oncogenesis.

• Genetic ancestry contributes to somatic mutations in lung cancers from admixed Latin American populations

  Inherited lung cancer risk, particularly in non-smokers, is poorly understood. Genomic and ancestry analysis of 1,153 lung cancers from Latin America revealed striking associations between Native American ancestry and their somatic landscape, including tumor mutational burden (TMB), and specific driver mutations in EGFR, KRAS, and STK11. A local Native American ancestry risk score predicted EGFR and KRAS mutation frequency more strongly than global ancestry, suggesting that germline genetics (rather than environmental exposure) underlie these disparities.

• Breakpoint detection using long insert whole genome sequencing

  In this study, we hypothesize that shallow long insert whole genome sequencing (LI-WGS) increases our power for detecting breakpoints compared to shallow short insert WGS. We performed a priori analyses to demonstrate the benefits of LI-WGS, developed a long insert library preparation protocol based off Illumina's protocol, and compared LI-WGS against short insert WGS on test samples. We then used long insert WGS to identify translocations and copy number changes in tumor and germline samples collected from cancer patients with different malignancies.

• Evolution of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia to Richter's Syndrome (RS)

  Richter's syndrome arising from chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a striking example of an aggressive malignant histology that emerges from indolent cancer. To understand this process, we reconstructed phylogenies based on whole exome sequencing of matched normal, CLL and RS samples. We computationally deconvoluted CLL and RS clones and identified drivers of transformation. We additionally performed whole genome sequencing, whole transcriptome sequencing and single-cell transcriptome sequencing to understand the mutational signatures, genome-wide events and gene expression changes associated with transformation.

• RB1 Loss Triggers Dependence on ESRRG in Retinoblastoma

  Retinoblastoma (Rb) is a deadly childhood eye cancer that is classically initiated by inactivation of the RB1 tumor suppressor. Clinical management continues to rely on nonspecific chemotherapeutic agents that are associated with treatment resistance and toxicity. Here, we analyzed whole exomes from primary Rb tumors to identify novel Rb dependencies. Several recurrent genomic aberrations implicate estrogen-related receptor gamma (ESRRG) in Rb pathogenesis. ESRRG is an essential mediator of hypoxic adaptation and cell survival in retinoblastoma, representing a promising new therapeutic target.

• Gene expression signatures associated with chronic endometritis revealed by RNA sequencing

  Chronic endometritis (CE) is a persistent inflammatory condition of the endometrium characterized by the infiltration of plasma cells. CD138 immunohistochemistry is considered to improve the CE diagnosis rate. Using the number of CD138-positive cells equal or greater than five as a diagnostic criterion for CE, we identified 24 CE and 33 non-CE cases among women with infertility. We conducted RNA-sequencing analysis for these 57 cases in total as an attempt to elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of CE and to search for new biomarkers for CE. By comparing CE and non-CE groups, we identified 20 genes upregulated in the endometria of CE patients, including 12 immunoglobulin-related genes and eight non-immunoglobulin genes as differentially expressed genes. The eight genes were MUC5AC, LTF, CAPN9, MESP1, ACSM1, TVP23A, ALOX15, and MZB1. By analyzing samples in the proliferative and secretory phases of the menstrual cycle separately, we also identified four additional non-immunoglobulin genes upregulated in CE endometria: CCDC13 by comparing the samples in the proliferative phase, and OVGP1, MTUS2, and CLIC6 by comparing the samples in the secretory phase. Although the genes upregulated in CE may serve as novel diagnostic markers of CE, many of them were upregulated only in a limited number of CE cases showing an extremely high number of CD138-positive cells near or over one hundred. Exceptionally, TVP23A was upregulated in the majority of CE cases regardless of the number of CD138-positive cells. The upregulation of TVP23A in the endometria of CE cases may reflect the pathophysiology of a cell-type or cell-types intrinsic to the endometrium rather than the accumulation of plasma cells. Our data, consisting of clinical and transcriptomic information for CE and non-CE cases, helped us identify gene expression signatures associated with CE.

• Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATRT) are comprised of three epigenetic subgroups with distinct enhancer landscapes

  Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is one of the most common brain tumors in infants and young children. Although the prognosis of ATRT patients is poor, some patients respond very well to current treatments, suggesting inter-tumor molecular heterogeneity. To investigate this further, we genetically and epigenetically analyzed a large cohort of ATRTs (n = 170). Three distinct molecular subgroups of ATRTs, associated with differences in demographics, tumor location and type of SMARCB1 alterations, were identified using DNA-methylation or gene expression analyses. Whole genome DNA- and RNA-sequencing found no other recurrent mutations explaining the differences between subgroups. However, whole genome bisulfite-sequencing and H3K27Ac ChIP-sequencing of primary tumors revealed clear differences in methylation patterns and enhancer landscapes, leading to the identification of subgroup-specific regulatory networks.

• Genetics of gene expression in human macrophage response to Salmonella

  Understanding how cells sense and respond to their environment, and how these responses are modulated by genetic variation, are fundamental biological problems, particularly for understanding how pathogenic organisms invade and manipulate the cells of the human immune system. Macrophages recognize and respond to many important human pathogens including HIV-1, Mycobacteria tuberculosis and Salmonella. This study will focus on the cellular response of human macrophages to Salmonella infection and how this response is modulated by the genetic bacground of the individual as well as additional pro-inflammatory stimulus (interferon-gamma priming). We will acquire 100 human induced pluripotent stem cell lines from the HipSci project, differentiate the cells in vitro into macrophages and expose them to four environmental conditions: (i) no stimulation, (ii) interferon-gamma (18h), (iii) Salmonella typhimurium SL1344 (5h), (iv) interferon-gamma (18h) + Salmonella (5h).Subsequently, we will isolate RNA from the samples for sequencing.

• Conserved interferon-gamma signaling and decreased immune exclusion programs in responses to immune checkpoint blockade therapy_CM38-RNA

  We analyzed baseline and on-therapy tumor biopsies from 101 patients with advanced melanoma treated with nivolumab (anti-PD-1) alone or combined with ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4). Analysis of whole transcriptome data showed that T cell infiltration and interferon-gamma signaling signatures corresponded most highly with clinical response to therapy, with a reciprocal decrease in cell cycle and WNT signaling pathways in responding biopsies. Clinical outcome differences were likely not due to differential melanoma cell responses to interferon-gamma, as 57 human melanoma cell lines exposed in vitro to this cytokine showed a conserved interferon-gamma transcriptome response unless they had mutations that precluded signaling from the interferon-gamma receptor. Therefore, the magnitude of the antitumor T cell response and the corresponding downstream interferon-gamma signaling are the main drivers of clinical response or resistance to immune checkpoint blockade therapy.

• Blood neutrophils in COPD derive from activated progenitors in the bone marrow

  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major respiratory disease characterized by small airway inflammation, emphysema and severe breathing difficulties. Low-grade systemic inflammation is an established hallmark of severe disease, however, the molecular changes in peripheral immune cells remain far from understood. We combined multi-color flow cytometry with single-cell RNA sequencing and showed that blood neutrophil numbers are significantly increased in COPD and they are a heterogeneous population. A transcriptomic state that expressed interferon response genes correlated with alveolar damage and acute exacerbations. Furthermore, bronchoalveolar neutrophils expressed gene signatures corresponding to certain blood neutrophil states. Last, our data in a murine model of cigarette smoke exposure demonstrated that bone marrow neutrophil progenitors are expanded in smoke-treated animals and display signs of immune activation. Our study provides evidence that COPD systemic inflammation may derive from an activated haematopoietic precursor compartment.

  Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive type of brain tumour for which there is no curative treatment available. Immunotherapies have shown limited responses in unselected glioblastoma patients, and it is currently not well understood what separates the few responders from the non-responders at the cellular and molecular level. Here we investigate the phenotypic and transcriptional evolutionary dynamics at single-cell resolution during nivolumab immune checkpoint treatment of eight glioblastoma patients enrolled in a translational phase I/II clinical trial.
