A total of 9 brain metastasis were sequenced. For 6/9 a matched cerebrospinal fluid sample, prior to surgery and in two cases after surgery (+1 month from surgery) and after treatment (+3 month) were collected. Single-cell gene expression was produced using the Chromium Single Cell 5’ Library and sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000.

cfDNA

The mutational status of 112 recurrently mutated genes in B-cell lymphoma was examined by targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS). Libraries were performed with 15-30 ng of cfDNA obtained from plasma using molecular-barcoded library adapters (ThruPLEX Tag-seq kit; Takara) coupled with a custom hybridization capture based method (SureSelect XT Target Enrichment System Capture strategy, Agilent Technologies Inc.) and sequenced in a MiSeq instrument (Illumina, 2x150bp).

Foundation Medicine Adult Cancer Clinical Dataset (FM-AD)

The Foundation Medicine adult cancer clinical dataset consists of 18,004 unique solid tumor samples that underwent genomic profiling on a single uniform platform as part of standard clinical care. The dataset is derived from the FoundationOne® genomic profiling assay version 2 that interrogates exonic regions of 287 cancer-related genes and selected introns from 19 genes known to undergo rearrangements in human cancer. Genomic DNA samples were sequenced to over 500x median coverage, and custom computational analyses identified all classes of genomic alterations (base substitutions, insertions and deletions, copy number alterations, and rearrangements). Since matched normal tissue was unavailable for analysis, these data underwent additional filtering to enrich for cancer-related events. The reported data includes genomic alterations that are known and suspected tumor drivers, as well as variants of unknown significance. To preserve patient anonymity, all known or suspected germline variants were removed from the data unless known to be associated with cancer development. The dataset contains genomic alteration profiles generated by FoundationOne version 2 testing for adult cancer patients (over 18 y.o.), and represents a vast diversity of tumor subtypes, including many rare diseases not profiled as part of large-scale profiling efforts. Cases are grouped into 16 broad disease categories containing tumors from 162 unique disease subtypes. Since specimens were profiled as part of clinical care, limited clinical parameters were available, including age, gender, tissue of origin, % of tumor nuclei, and diagnosis. Publication of this dataset is intended to allow the broad scientific community access to this unique cohort for use in scientific research projects of common and rare types of cancer, both for generating leads regarding causal mechanisms as well as cross-testing and confirming existing hypotheses. A pediatric cancer clinical dataset consisting of data from 1,215 patients under 18 y.o. is available separately at: FOUNDATION MEDICINE

FinHer Breast Cancer Study

The purpose of this study is to sequence 500 known cancer genes in 960 newly diagnosed high risk breast cancer patients treated with current standard of care therapies and trastuzumab, for somatic alteration and copy number changes. We will be using next gen sequencing technology to determine the prognostic relevance of these somatic genetic alterations and of teh low frequency events to determine if they are associated with trastuzumab benefit or HER2 positive breast cancer, i.e. treatment interaction. The samples will be analysed adn correlated with clinical variables including outcome.

ESR1 mutations in tamoxifen-associated endometrial cancer versus spontaneous arisen endometrial tumors

An increased incidence of endometrial cancer has been described for patients that have received tamoxifen to treat breast cancer. Using samples from endometrial tumors, isolated from surgivcal specimens of patients who previously received tamoxifen treatment for breast cancer, we aimed to identify whether there are specific somatic mutations enriched in this population, relative to endometrial tumors from the general population. For this, WES was performed on matched endometrial tumors and healthy tissue (n=21).

MutWP4__CRUK_Grand_Challenge_Mutographs_of_Cancer__Gastric_Organoids

The Mutographs project aims to advance our understanding of the causes of cancer through studies of mutational signatures. Led by Mike Stratton, together with Paul Brennan, Ludmil Alexandrov, Allan Balmain, David Phillips and Peter Campbell, this large-scale international research endeavour was awarded a Cancer Research UK Grand Challenge. Different patterns of somatic mutation are generated by the different environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors that cause cancer, many of them are still unknown. Within Mutographs, Kings College London will characterise the mutational signatures induced by putative human carcinogens in order to identify the origins of mutational signatures found in human cancers. To achieve this human organoid cell cultures will be exposed to a representative catalogue of known or suspected human carcinogens and mutagens and, using whole genome sequencing, the patterns of mutations induced by them will be determined. Somatic mutational signatures will be subsequently extracted by non-negative matrix factorisation methods and correlated with exposure data. Through an enhanced understanding of cancer aetiology, Mutographs unprecedented effort is anticipated to outline modifiable risk factors, lead to new approaches to prevent cancer, and provide opportunities to empower early detection, refine high-risk groups and contribute to further therapeutic development.

Genome-wide cell-free DNA fragmentation in patients with cancer

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood provides a noninvasive diagnostic avenue for patients with cancer. However, characteristics of the origins and molecular features of cfDNA are poorly understood. We developed an approach to evaluate fragmentation patterns of cfDNA across the genome and found that cfDNA profiles of healthy individuals reflected nucleosomal patterns of white blood cells, while patients with cancer had altered fragmentation profiles. We applied this method to analyze fragmentation profiles of 236 patients with breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, gastric, or bile duct cancers and 245 healthy individuals. A machine learning model incorporating genome-wide fragmentation features had sensitivities of detection ranging from 57% to &gt;99% among the seven cancer types at 98% specificity, with an overall AUC of 0.94. Fragmentation profiles could be used to identify the tissue of origin of the cancers to a limited number of sites in 75% of cases. Combining our approach with mutation based cfDNA analyses detected 91% of cancer patients. The results of these analyses highlight important properties of cfDNA and provide a proof of principle approach for screening, early detection, and monitoring of human cancer.
