Whole genome sequencing data of pediatric TCF3::PBX1 acute lymphoblastic leukemia
TCF3::PBX1 leukemia is a rare subtype of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), occurring in approximately 3–5% of pediatric cases. It results from a chromosomal translocation t(1;19)(q23;p13), generating the TCF3::PBX1 fusion gene, which disrupts normal transcriptional regulation and contributes to leukemogenesis. Although historically associated with poor prognosis, contemporary risk stratification and intensified therapy have significantly improved outcomes, and both 5-years DFS and OS are nowadays ≥ 0.96.

Tumor-associated neutrophil 1 precursors impair homologous DNA repair and promote sensitivity to PARP-inhibition
Tumor evolution is one of the major mechanisms responsible for acquiring therapy resistant and more aggressive cancer clones. Whether the tumor microenvironment through immune-mediated mechanisms might promote the development of more aggressive cancer types is crucial for the identification of additional therapeutical opportunities. Here, we identify a subset of tumor-associated neutrophils, defined as tumor-associated neutrophil precursors (PreNeu). These PreNeu are enriched in highly proliferative hormone-dependent breast cancers and impair DNA repair capacity

Integrative Analysis of Pediatric Acute Leukemia Identifies Acute Myeloid/T-Lymphoblastic Leukemia Subtype that Spans a T Lineage and Myeloid Continuum with Distinct Prognoses
Genomic characterization of pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has revealed age specific mutational spectrums, distinguishing it biologically from adult patients. While gene expression profiling signatures can differentiate subsets of pediatric AML, its clinical utility in risk stratification has remained limited.

Sequencing of serial plasma and multiregional tumor samples in a patient with metastatic breast cancer
Circulating tumor DNA analysis can be used to track tumor burden and analyze cancer genomes non-invasively but the extent to which it represents metastatic heterogeneity is unknown. Here, we follow a patient with metastatic ER and HER2 positive breast cancer receiving two lines of targeted therapy over 3 years. We characterize genomic architecture and infer clonal evolution in 8 tumor biopsies and 9 plasma samples collected over 1,193 days of clinical follow-up using exome and targeted amplicon sequencing.

Gene expression profile of mesothelial-derived carcinoma-associated fibroblasts
RNA-sequencing was carried out on ascetic fluid-isolated mesothelial cells from low-grade serous ovarian cancer patients, high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients, chemotherapy-treated high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients and control mesothelial cells obtained from non-oncologic patients to identify differentially expressed genes associated to mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition process.

71 Whole-exome sequencing of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma on Chinese Patients
Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide. We performed 71 Whole-exome sequencing of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma on Chinese Patients.

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.

WGS of liver cancer in the Japanese population
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cancer-related cause of death and the seventh most common form of cancer worldwide, with an estimate of more than 700,000 new cases each year. The most established risk factors of HCC are chronic HBV and HCV infection. HBV infection is responsible for over 50% of the worldwide attributable risk of HCC, especially in East Asia and Africa, while in Japan and several Western countries HCV infection is the most common risk factor for HCC. To gain insights into the molecular alterations of virus-associated HCC, we performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) of 321 HCC tumors from 159 patients. This work was performed as a part of the ICGC (International Cancer Genome Consortium) project.

Genomic profiling of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Ataxia Telangiectasia patients reveals tight link between ATM mutations and chromothripsis
Recent developments in sequencing technologies led to the discovery of a novel form of genomic instability, termed chromothripsis. This catastrophic genomic event, involved in tumorigenesis, is characterized by tens to hundreds of simultaneously acquired locally clustered rearrangements on one chromosome. We hypothesized that leukemias developing in individuals with Ataxia Telangiectasia, who are born with two mutated copies of the ATM gene, an essential guardian of genome stability, would show a higher prevalence of chromothripsis due to the associated defect in DNA double-strand break repair. Using whole-genome sequencing, fluorescence in situ hybridization and RNA sequencing, we characterized the genomic landscape of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) arising in patients with Ataxia Telangiectasia. We detected a high frequency of chromothriptic events in these tumors, specifically on acrocentric chromosomes, as compared to tumors from individuals with other types of DNA repair syndromes (27 cases total, 10 with Ataxia Telangiectasia). Our data suggest that the genomic landscape of Ataxia Telangiectasia ALL is clearly distinct from that of sporadic ALL. Mechanistically, short telomeres and compromised DNA damage response in cells of Ataxia Telangiectasia patients may be linked with frequent chromothripsis. Furthermore, we show that ATM loss is associated with increased chromothripsis prevalence in additional tumor entities.
