Abstract Microsatellite instability (MSI) refers to the hypermutability of short repetitive sequences in genome caused by impaired DNA mismatch repair. Although MSI has been studied for decades, large amounts sequencing data now available allows us examine molecular fingerprints greater detail. Here, we analyse ∼8,000 exomes and ∼1,000 whole genomes cancer patients across 23 types. Our analysis reveals that frequency events is highly variable within tumour We also identify genes repair...
In many next-generation sequencing (NGS) studies, multiple samples or data types are profiled for each individual. An important quality control (QC) step in these studies is to ensure that datasets from the same subject properly paired. Given heterogeneity of types, file and depths a multi-dimensional study, robust program provides standardized metric genotype comparisons would be useful. Here, we describe NGSCheckMate, user-friendly software package verifying sample identities FASTQ, BAM...

Somatic mutations in cancer genomes often show allelic imbalance (AI) of mutation abundance between the genome and transcriptome, but there is not yet a systematic understanding AI. In this study, we performed large-scale DNA RNA AI analyses >100,000 somatic >2,000 specimens across five tumor types using exome transcriptome sequencing data Cancer Genome Atlas consortium. First, analysis nonsense frameshift indels revealed that nonsense-mediated decay typical genomes, identified relationship...
Studies of naturally occurring cancers in dogs, which share many genetic and environmental factors with humans, provide valuable information as a comparative model for studying the mechanisms human cancer pathogenesis. While individual small-scale studies canine are underway, more generalized multi-omics have not been attempted due to lack large-scale well-controlled genomic data. Here, we produced reliable whole-exome whole-transcriptome sequencing data 197 mammary their matched controls,...
Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative associated with complex genetic etiology. Besides the apolipoprotein E ε4 ( APOE ε4) allele, few dozen other loci AD have been identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) conducted mainly in individuals of European ancestry. Recently, several GWAS performed ethnic groups shown importance replicating that identify previously established risk and searching for novel loci. -stratified yielded might be masked by,...
ABSTRACT Microsatellite instability (MSI) refers to the hypermutability of cancer genome due impaired DNA mismatch repair. Although MSI has been studied for decades, large amount sequencing data now available allows us examine molecular fingerprints in greater detail. Here, we analyze ~8000 exome and ~1000 whole-genome pairs across 23 types. Our pan-cancer analysis reveals that prevalence events is highly variable within tumor types including some which not typically examined. We also...

There are few use cases representing CDM....
Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based tumor panel testing has been reimbursed by the Korean government since 2017. We evaluated use of NGS-based in real-world clinical practice, focusing on molecular profiling (MP)-guided breast cancer treatment.A total 137 patients underwent NGS between December 2017 and July 2020 at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH). Samples from were profiled using an in-house SNUBH pan-cancer panel. Sixty-four Pan_Cancer v1.0, targeting 89 genes, while...
Chromosomal instability (CIN) is known to be associated with prognosis and treatment response in breast cancer. This study was conducted determine whether copy number gain of centromere 17 (CEP17) reflects CIN, evaluate the prognostic predictive value CIN status determined by summing gains four centromeric probes (CEP1, CEP8, CEP11, CEP16) based on fluorescence situ hybridization scores were calculated using next generation sequencing data. High adverse clinicopatholgical parameters Among...
Abstract Background Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been introduced to many Korean institutions support molecular diagnostics in cancer since 2017, when it became eligible for reimbursement by the National Health Insurance Service. However, uptake of molecularly guided treatment (MGT) based on NGS results limited because stringent regulations regarding prescriptions outside approved indications, a lack clinical trial opportunities, and access tumor boards (MTB) at most institutions. The...
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although early diagnosis and treatment most successful strategy for improving patient survival, feasible sensitive blood biomarkers CRC screening remain elusive. Methods: Sixty-five patients thirty-three healthy individuals were enrolled. Peripheral (PB) tumor tissues from patients, PB subjected to immunophenotyping phospho-flow analysis cytokine-induced phosphorylated STAT (CIPS). Logistic...
We aimed to elucidate the evolutionary trajectories of gallbladder adenocarcinoma (GBAC) using multi-regional and longitudinal tumor samples. Using whole-exome sequencing data, we constructed phylogenetic trees in each patient analyzed mutational signatures. A total 11 patients including 2 rapid autopsy cases were enrolled. The most frequently altered gene primary tumors was ERBB2 TP53 (54.5%), followed by FBXW7 (27.3%). Most mutations genes detectable concurrent precancerous lesions...
Alterations of a genome can lead to changes in protein functions. Through these genetic mutations, lose its native function (loss-of-function, LoF), or it confer new (gain-of-function, GoF). However, when mutation occurs, is difficult determine whether will result LoF GoF. Therefore, this paper, we propose study that analyzes the genomic features and GoF instances find be used classify mutations. In order collect experimentally verified mutational information, obtained 816 mutations 474 from...
