• Frequent post-treatment monitoring of colorectal cancer using individualized ctDNA validated by multi-regional molecular profiling

  Purpose: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis has been proposed as an approach for prediction of post-treatment patient outcomes. However, whether a single platform will provide optimal information in all patients or alternatively a patient-specific monitoring approach based on assessment of mutations in the primary tumor from that patient remains an urgent question. Experimental Design: We conducted multiregional sequencing of 42 specimens of 14 colorectal tumors (Stage III and more) from 12 patients, including two double cancer cases, to identify the full spectrum of mutational heterogeneity and identify aberrations that could be used to develop personalized ctDNA assays. Results: ?Founder? mutations that occur in all regions of the sample were identified in 12/14 (85.7%) tumors. Subsequent phylogenetic analysis of each tumor showed that 12/14 tumors (85.7%) carried at least one ?truncal? mutation. Most founder and truncal mutations exhibited higher variant allele frequency (VAF) than ?non-founder? and ?branch? mutations. In addition, both founder and truncal mutations were more likely to be detected as ctDNA than non-founder and branch mutations. Synchronized ctDNA dynamics of multiple mutations suggested those mutations from the same clonal origin. For 10/12 patients (83.3%) with nearly 1,000 days of post-operative observation, the validity of frequent personalized ctDNA monitoring was confirmed in terms of early relapse prediction, treatment efficacy, and non-relapse corroboration. Conclusions: Personalized ctDNA monitoring based on aberrations with a high VAF in the primary tumor site should be explored in larger prospective clinical trials to determine the full clinical validity.

• Molecular Evolution of Cancer

  Recently developed methods that utilize partitioning of long genomic DNA fragments, and barcoding of shorter fragments derived from them, have succeeded in retaining long-range information in short sequencing reads. These so-called read cloud approaches represent a powerful, accurate, and cost-effective alternative to single-molecule long-read sequencing. We developed software, GROC-SVs, that takes advantage of read clouds for structural variant detection and assembly. We apply the method to two 10x Genomics data sets, one chromothriptic sarcoma with several spatially separated samples, and one breast cancer cell line, all Illumina-sequenced to high coverage. Comparison to short-fragment data from the same samples, and validation by mate-pair data from a subset of the sarcoma samples, demonstrate substantial improvement in specificity of breakpoint detection compared to short-fragment sequencing, at comparable sensitivity, and vice versa. The embedded long-range information also facilitates sequence assembly of a large fraction of the breakpoints; importantly, consecutive breakpoints that are closer than the average length of the input DNA molecules can be assembled together and their order and arrangement reconstructed, with some events exhibiting remarkable complexity. These features facilitated an analysis of the structural evolution of the sarcoma. In the chromothripsis, rearrangements occurred before copy number amplifications, and using the phylogenetic tree built from point mutation data, we show that single nucleotide variants and structural variants are not correlated. We predict significant future advances in structural variant science using 10x data analyzed with GROC-SVs and other read cloud-specific methods.

• Whole genome sequencing informs treatment decision of end-stage metastatic cutaneous angiosarcoma in a patient with Xeroderma Pigmentosum

  Whole genome sequencing (WGS) detects all mutations in a cancer. “Mutational signatures” are patterns of mutations that report the DNA damage and subsequent DNA repair processes that have occurred in cancers. We present a patient with Xeroderma Pigmentosum that developed metastatic angiosarcoma, unresponsive to all lines of sarcoma therapy. Primary tumour WGS revealed a hypermutated tumour, including clonal ultraviolet light-induced mutational patterns (Signature 7) and subclonal signatures of activating mutations of DNA Polymerase-epsilon (POLE)(Signature 10). These signatures are associated with response to immune-checkpoint blockade. Immunohistochemistry confirmed high PD-L1 expression in metastatic deposits. The patient was commenced on anti-PD-L1 therapy and has responded.

• Spatial whole exome sequencing of metastatic melanoma

  We performed whole exome sequencing of 8 samples derived from a patient with metastatic melanoma. These represent six different regions of a metastatic melanoma biopsy that was treated with anti-PD-1 inhibitor, one pre-treatment biopsy that was treatment naive and one post-PD-1 inhibitor treated lesion. Exome sequencing data was generated using methods as previously described, including library preparation using the Agilent SureSelect XT Target Enrichment protocol (#5190-8646) prior to sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2000/2500 v3 system using 76bp paired-end reads. Raw sequencing data was then processed using Saturn V, the next generation sequencing data processing and analysis pipeline developed by the Department of Genomic Medicine at the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center.

• MutWP5: CRUK Mutographs of Cancer: Lung: PD38234 (Targeted) (2020-01-29)

  Sequencing of LCM-derived microbiopsies from explanted lung from pulmonary fibrosis patient. Goal to assess the mutational burden, spectrum, and clonal dynamics within the tissue. Deep sampling throughout multiple regions of the lung will determine whether there are differences in smoking-related mutation burden in different portions of the lung. Targeted sequencing will be conducted on samples to identify drivers of interest and clonality of the samples, well-performing samples will be sent for subsequent whole-genome sequencing. Results from this portion of the study will be compared to other individuals with smoking-related diseases (COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer), and normal, non-smoking lungs. . This dataset contains all the data available for this study on 2020-01-29.

• Clonal architecture and genomic features of smoking versus non-smoking oncogene-driven East-Asian non-small cell lung cancer

  Unlike smoking-related non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC), oncogene-driven tumors are characterized by low mutational burdens and complex genomic landscapes. However, the clonal architecture and genomic landscape of the oncogene-driven tumors in smokers remains unknown. Here, we investigate the impact of tobacco smoking on the genomic and transcriptomic alterations in the context of oncogene-driven NSCLC.

• Cylindromas_sun_protected_and_exposed

  The project aims to look at mutational signatures in a rare inherited skin tumour syndrome called CYLD cutaneous syndrome. These patients develop multiple skin tumours that are seen at sun exposed and sun protected sites. We plan to carry out WGS on carefully curated tumours from such patients. We then plan to analyse this data for mutational signatures, comparing this between sun exposed and sun protected sites.

• Amplicon_based_sequencing_of_drug_resistant_lung_cancer_cell_lines

  A EGFR mutant NSCLC cell line which is sensitive to AZD9291 inhibition was mutagenised with the chemical mutagen ENU and then drug selected using a AZD9291. Single cell derived colonies were then manually picked and expanded in drug. Resistance was confirmed in a 14 day assay and DNA was collected. These then underwent targeted amplicon-based sequencing to confirm candidate resistance effectors hypothesised from currently available literature.
