Project description:A great percentage of patients with multiple primary cancers (MPCs) and family history of cancer are suspected to have a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome. However, only a small proportion of these cases are explained by mutations in high-penetrance genes, suggesting the involvement of undiscovered genes in cancer predisposition. In this study, we report the molecular and clinical characterization of two unrelated patients with MPCs, a positive family history of cancer, no germline pathogenic mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2 and TP53 genes and large genomic rearrangements mapped on chromosome 7q. Genomic rearrangements were assessed with Affymetrix CytoScan HD Array platform in two unrelated patients (Patient 1 and Patient 2) with multiple primary cancers. Additionally, the mother of Patient 2 and four children (the son of Patient 1 and three children of Patient 2) were also evaluated.

Project description:Routine karyotyping combined with CMA testing should be provided for fetuses with omphalocele. WES is an option if karyotype and CMA tests are normal. In addition, if conventional karyotype, CMA detection and WES detection are normal, then further molecular biology methods can be used to rule out disease phenotypes like BWS syndrome. We analyzed the ultrasonographic features, genetic characteristics, and maternal and fetal outcomes of fetuses with omphalocele and provide a reference for perinatal management of such cases.

Project description:Cancer genomics has illuminated a wide spectrum of genes and core molecular processes contributing to human malignancy. Still, the genetic and molecular basis of many cancers remains only partially explained. Genetic predisposition accounts for 5-10% of cancer diagnoses and genetic events cooperating with known somatic driver events are poorly understood. Analyzing established cancer predisposition genes in medulloblastoma (MB), a malignant childhood brain tumor, we recently identified pathogenic germline variants that account for 5% of all MB patients. Here, by extending our previous analysis to include all protein-coding genes, we discovered and replicated rare germline loss-of-function (LoF) variants across Elongator Complex Protein 1 (ELP1) on 9q31.3 in 15% of pediatric MBSHH cases, thus implicating ELP1 as the most common MB predisposition gene and increasing genetic predisposition to 40% for pediatric MBSHH. Inheritance was verified based on parent-offspring and pedigree analysis, which identified two families with a history of pediatric MB. ELP1-associated MBs were restricted to the molecular SHH subtype and were characterized by universal biallelic inactivation of ELP1 due to somatic loss of chromosome 9q. The majority of ELP1-associated MBs exhibited co-occurring somatic PTCH1 (9q22.32) alterations, suggesting that ELP1-deficiency predisposes to tumor development in combination with constitutive activation of SHH signaling. ELP1 is an essential subunit of the evolutionary conserved Elongator complex, whose primary function is to enable efficient translational elongation through tRNAs modifications at the wobble (U34) position. Biochemical, transcriptional, and proteomic analyses revealed that ELP1-associated MBSHH are characterized by a destabilized core Elongator complex, loss of Elongator-dependent tRNA modifications, codon-dependent translational reprogramming, and induction of the unfolded protein response (UPR), consistent with deregulation of protein homeostasis due to Elongator-deficiency in model systems. Our findings suggest that genetic predisposition to proteome instability is a previously underappreciated determinant in the pathogenesis of pediatric brain cancer. These results provide strong rationale for further investigating the role of protein homeostasis in other pediatric and adult cancer types and potential opportunities for novel therapeutic interference.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents the third most common cancer worldwide. Next generation sequencing (NGS) appearance has allowed us to produce huge amount of data and, in order to fully exploit its usage, copy number variants (CVN) detection software have been developed. In this study, we analyze germline DNA whole-exome sequencing (WES) data from 38 families with strong CRC aggregation without alterations in known hereditary genes to detect rare candidate CNVs to CRC predisposition using ExomeDepth and CoNIFER tools. Variants shared between family members were compared to Database of Genomic Variants (DGV) catalogue and our Spanish database. CNVs finally selected were validated and segregation analysis were performed using Comparative Genome Hybridization (CGH). Gene expression arrays and qRT-PCR were conducted in both germline and tumor cDNA to check possible effects at transcription level. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) studies were also carried out. Whith this, 21 candidate CNV corresponding to 16 duplications and 5 deletions were detected by calling tools. After multiple filtering steps, only the duplication in chromosome 1 in family 7 stood out as interesting. Validation by CGH confirmed the duplication and correct family segregation. TTF2, TRIM45, VTCN1 and miR942 are embedded in chromosome 1 duplication. Expression studies pointed to TTF2 and miR942 overexpression in carriers, and tumor IHC showed TTF2 protein overexpression and underexpression of the TMEM158 protein. Also known as RIS1, TMEM158 is a predicted target of miR942 and has been claimed to be a candidate tumor-supressor. All in all, chromosome 1 duplication may correspond to the mutational event involved in CRC predisposition in the carrier family by overexpressing TTF2 and miR942, leading to TMEM158 underexpression. Keywords: colorectal cancer, next generation sequencing, copy number variant, duplication, predisposition.

Project description:Germline RUNX1 mutations are found in familial platelet disorders with predisposition to acute myelogenous leukemia (FPD/AML). This very rare disease is characterized by thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction and a 35% lifetime risk of developing MDS/AML and in rare cases also T-ALL. Here, we focus on a case of a man with a familial history of RUNX1 R174Q mutation who developed at the age of 42 years an EGIL T2-ALL and two years after remission an AML-M0. To investigate whether initial and relapsed leukemic blasts originated from the same clone, we performed CGH array and WES on both blasts populations. In both T2-ALL and AML-M0 samples, CGH array revealed loss of 1p36.32-23 and 17q11.2 and nine other small deletions. Both AML-M0 and T2-ALL demonstrated clonal rearrangements of both TCR (V9-J1-1) and TCR (D2-J1 and D2-J3). 18 genes were found by WES to be mutated in the original clone at a frequency of more than 40%. Additional variants were identified only in T2-ALL or in AML-M0 evoking the existence of a common original clone. MiSeq technology performed on peripheral blood-derived CD34+ cells five years prior T2-ALL development revealed only missense TET2 P1962T mutation at a frequency of 1% suggesting that this mutation in association with germline RUNX1 R174Q mutation led to amplification of a hematopoietic clone susceptible to acquire other transforming alterations. Identification of clonal hematopoiesis with acquired mutations at low frequency in hematopoietic progenitors before leukemia development could clearly serve as a marker of pre-leukemic state and might be helpful in patient care.

Additional variants were identified only in T2-ALL or in AML-M0 evoking the existence of a common original clone, which gave rise to subclonal populations. MiSeq technology performed on peripheral blood-derived CD34+ cells five years prior T2-ALL development revealed only missense TET2 P1962T mutation at a frequency of 1% (which reaches a frequency of 50 % in fully transformed leukemic clone) suggesting that this mutation in association with germline RUNX1 R174Q mutation led to amplification of a hematopoietic clone susceptible to acquire other transforming alterations. Identification of clonal hematopoiesis with acquired mutations at low frequency in hematopoietic progenitors before leukemia development could clearly serve as a marker of pre-leukemic state and be helpful in patient care.

Project description:Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer with high intra-tumoral heterogeneity, frequently resistant to treatment and no known targeted therapy available to improve patient outcomes. It has been hypothesized that the genomic architecture of a TNBC tumour evolves over time, both before, and during therapy, leading to therapy resistance and a high propensity to relapse. Whether this is an inherent property of the tumour or acquired over time is not well characterized. Despite this important clinical implication, limited studies have been carried out to unravel temporal evolution of TNBC over time. Herein, we report an OMICS based analysis of three TNBC patients who were longitudinally sampled during their treatment at different times of relapse. We recruited three TNBC patients at the time of their first relapse who were then followed-up through the course of their treatment. We obtained retrospective samples (tumour samples) from patient tumours at diagnosis (before neo-adjuvant chemotherapy - NACT) at surgery (post NACT) and prospectively sampled them at each subsequent relapse (tumour, blood plasma, and buffy coat) as determined by RECIST criteria. Tumor and buffy coat DNA were subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES) at 200x, and SNP arrays for copy number variation (CNV) analysis. RNA from tumour samples at relapse was subjected to whole transcriptome sequencing. Pathogenic germline BRCA1 variants identified in WES were validated using Sanger sequencing. 1084 somatic mutations identified in whole exome sequencing of all tumour tissues (n=13) from three patients, were subjected to a custom amplicon ultra-deep sequencing assay at 30,000X in their germline DNA (n=3), tumour DNA (n=10), and cfDNA from plasma samples at relapse (n=8). Copy number corrected allele frequencies, tumour ploidy, tumour purity, and ultra-deep sequencing assay derived variant allele frequencies were used to infer clonal and phylogenetic architecture of each patient as it evolved under selective pressure of therapy over time. Clonality analysis incorporating allele fractions from ultra-deep sequencing identified clones comprising of mutations that are present throughout the course of therapy which we term as founding clones and stem mutations respectively. Such founding clones comprising of stem mutations in all 3 patients were present throughout the course of treatment, irrespective of change in treatment modalities. These stem clones included well characterized cancer related genes like PDGFRB & ARID2 (Patient 02), TP53, BRAF & CSF3R (Patient 04) and ESR1, APC, EZH2 & TP53 (Patient 07). Such branching evolution is seen in all three patients wherein the dominant clone (stem clone) acquires additional mutations to form sub-clones, while persisting over time. These sub-clones may be chemo and radio resistant, while also providing for organ specific metastatic potential. Allele fractions of expressed variants inferred from RNA-Seq data co-related with allele fractions from WES data indicating that all somatic.
