Pan-cancer analyses that examine commonalities and differences among various cancer types have emerged as a powerful way to obtain novel insights into biology. Here we present comprehensive analysis of genetic alterations in pan-cancer cohort including 961 tumours from children, adolescents, young adults, comprising 24 distinct molecular cancer. Using standardized workflow, identified marked terms mutation frequency significantly mutated genes comparison previously analysed adult cancers....
Medulloblastoma is the most common brain tumour in children; using whole-genome sequencing of samples authors show that clinically challenging Group 3 and 4 tumours can be tetraploid, reveal expression first medulloblastoma fusion genes identified. malignant children. Four papers published 2 August 2012 issue Nature use other techniques to produce a detailed picture genetics genomics this condition. Notable findings include identification recurrent mutations not previously implicated...
The molecular pathogenesis of pediatric astrocytomas is still poorly understood. To further understand the genetic abnormalities associated with these tumors, we performed a genome-wide analysis DNA copy number aberrations in low-grade by using array-based comparative genomic hybridization. Duplication BRAF protooncogene was most frequent aberration, and tumors duplication showed significantly increased mRNA levels downstream target, CCND1, as compared without duplication. Furthermore,...
MicroRNAs represent a class of short (∼22 nt), noncoding regulatory RNAs involved in development, differentiation, and metabolism. We describe novel microarray platform for genome-wide profiling mature miRNAs (miChip) using locked nucleic acid (LNA)-modified capture probes. The biophysical properties LNA were exploited to design probe sets uniform, high-affinity hybridizations yielding highly accurate signals able discriminate between single nucleotide differences and, hence, closely related...
Abstract Sarcomas are malignant soft tissue and bone tumours affecting adults, adolescents children. They represent a morphologically heterogeneous class of some entities lack defining histopathological features. Therefore, the diagnosis sarcomas is burdened with high inter-observer variability misclassification rate. Here, we demonstrate classification using machine learning classifier algorithm based on array-generated DNA methylation data. This sarcoma trained dataset 1077 profiles from...
Interleukin-7 receptor α (IL7R) is required for normal lymphoid development. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive severe combined immune deficiency. Here, we describe somatic gain-of-function IL7R pediatric B and T acute lymphoblastic leukemias. The either a serine-to-cysteine substitution at amino acid 185 the extracellular domain (4 patients) or in-frame insertions deletions transmembrane (35 patients). In cell precursor leukemias, were associated with aberrant...
Abstract Osteosarcomas are aggressive bone tumours with a high degree of genetic heterogeneity, which has historically complicated driver gene discovery. Here we sequence exomes 31 and decipher their evolutionary landscape by inferring clonality the individual mutation events. Exome findings interpreted in context SNP array data from replication set 92 tumours. We identify 14 genes as main drivers, some were formerly unknown osteosarcoma. None drivers is clearly responsible for majority even...
