    Abstract Context: The underlying genetic cause of non-medullary thyroid cancer (NMTC) in children is often unknown, hampering both predictive testing of family members and preventive clinical management.
    Objective: Our objectives were to investigated the potential heritability in the largest childhood NMTC cohort that has been genotyped to date.
    Design: Nationwide retrospective cohort study.
    Setting: Tertiary referral centers.
    Patients: In total, 97 patients diagnosed with pediatric NMTC between 1970-2020 were included in this study.
    Intervention: Germline whole genome sequencing (WGS).
    Main outcome: The main outcome measures were mutation detection yield in 1) clinically-relevant tumor predisposition genes, and 2) genes previously associated with NMTC.
    Results: In total, 13 of 97 patients (13%) carried a germline (likely) pathogenic (P/LP) variant in a well-known tumor predisposition gene: APC (n=1), BRCA2 (n=2), CHEK2 (n=4), DICER1 (n=4), HOXB13 (n=1), , and MITF (n=1). In addition, one patient was diagnosed with Pendred syndrome (SLC26A4) and nine variants of high interest were found in other NMTC candidate susceptibility genes.
    Conclusion: The reported prevalence (13%) of germline variants in well-known tumor predisposing genes and the added value of a revised personal-/family history and histology led us to recommend genetic counseling for all childhood NMTC patients.The detected tumor predisposition syndromes are associated with a risk for second cancers which necessitates additional surveillance of the index patients and pre-symptomatic genetic testing of at risk family members.

    Abstract Background: Colibactin, a genotoxin produced by polyketide synthase harboring (pks
    Methods: In this study, we explore the presence of colibactin-associated signatures and fecal pks in an unexplained polyposis cohort. Somatic targeted Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) was performed for 379 patients. Additionally, for a subset of 29 patients, metagenomics was performed on feces and mutational signature analyses using Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) on Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) colorectal tissue blocks.
    Results: NGS showed somatic APC variants fitting SBS88 or ID18 in at least one colorectal adenoma or carcinoma in 29% of patients. Fecal metagenomic analyses revealed enriched presence of pks genes in patients with somatic variants fitting colibactin-associated signatures compared to patients without variants fitting colibactin-associated signatures. Also, mutational signature analyses showed enrichment of SBS88 and ID18 in patients with variants fitting these signatures in NGS compared to patients without.
    Conclusions: These findings further support colibactins ability to mutagenize colorectal mucosa and contribute to the development of colorectal adenomas and carcinomas explaining a relevant part of patients with unexplained polyposis.

    Abstract Whole chromosome instability with near-whole genome haploidization (GH) and subsequent endoreduplication is considered a main genomic driver in the tumorigenesis of oncocytic cell thyroid neoplasms (OCN). These copy number alterations (CNA) occur less frequently in oncocytic thyroid adenoma (OA) than in oncocytic carcinoma (OCA), suggesting a continuous process. The current study described the CNA patterns in a cohort of 30 benign and malignant OCN, observed using a next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel that assesses genome-wide loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and chromosomal imbalances using 1500 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across all autosomes and the X chromosome in DNA derived from cytological and histological samples. Observed CNA patterns were verified using multiparameter DNA flow cytometry with or without whole-genome SNP array analysis and lesser-allele intensity-ratio (LAIR) analysis. On CNA-LOH analysis using the NGS panel, GH-type CNA were observed in 4 of 11 (36%) OA and in 14 of 16 OCA (88%). Endoreduplication was suspected in 8 of 16 (50%) OCA, all with more extensive GH-type CNA (P < 0.001). Reciprocal chromosomal imbalance type CNA, characterized by (imbalanced) chromosomal copy number gains and associated with benign disease, were observed in 6 of 11 (55%) OA and one equivocal case of OCA. CNA patterns were different between the histopathological subgroups (P < 0.001). By applying the structured interpretation and considerations provided by the current study, CNA-LOH analysis using an NGS panel that is feasible for daily practice may be of great added value to the widespread application of molecular diagnostics in the diagnosis and risk stratification of OCN.

    Abstract Background: Expression of CD103 and CD39 has been found to pinpoint tumor-reactive CD8
    Experimental design: Whole-exome and RNA sequencing of 11 mismatch repair-proficient (MMR-proficient) CRCs and corresponding healthy tissues were performed to determine the presence of putative neoantigens. In parallel, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) were cultured from the tumor fragments and, in parallel, CD8
    Results: Neoantigen-directed reactivity was only encountered in bulk TIL populations and CD103
    Conclusion: Coexpression of CD103 and CD39 is characteristic of neoantigen-specific CD8

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate whether expanded tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) can be obtained from primary uveal melanoma (UM) for potential use as adjuvant treatment in patients at risk of developing metastatic disease.
    Design: Experimental research study.
    Participants: Freshly obtained primary UM from 30 patients.
    Methods: Three different methods were used to expand TILs: (1) direct culture from small fragments of fresh tumor tissue, (2) single-cell tissue preparation by enzymatic digestion and subsequent enrichment of mononuclear cells, and (3) selection of CD3
    Main outcome measures: The feasibility of expanding TILs from primary UM, testing their reactivity to autologous UM cells, and evaluating the impact of an immunomodulatory environment.
    Results: Direct culture of tumor parts led to successful TIL culture in 4 of 22 tumors (18%), enrichment of mononuclear cells gave rise to TILs in 5 of 12 tumors (42%), while preselection of CD3
    Conclusions: The need to separate TILs from their tumor microenvironment for their successful expansion and the presence of UM-reactive T cells among TILs suggests that these UM-reactive T cells are strongly suppressed in vivo and that UM is immunogenic. These findings indicate that adoptive TIL therapy could be an option as an adjuvant treatment in primary UM patients at high risk of developing metastatic disease.

    Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is considered to be a poorly immunogenic cancer type that combines a low mutation burden with a strong immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are major drivers of immune suppression but their prognostic role, particularly in gastrointestinal malignancies, remains controversial. Lymphocytic infiltration in 122 PDAC samples was assessed by multispectral immunofluorescence with anti-Keratin, -CD3, -CD8, -FOXP3 and -CD163 antibodies. Differential infiltration by Tregs was analyzed in the context of transcriptomic profiles that were available for 65 tumors. High infiltration of CD3

    Abstract Allele-specific expression (ASE) is found in approximately 20-30% of human genes. During tumorigenesis, ASE changes due to somatic alterations that change the regulatory landscape. In colorectal cancer (CRC), many chromosomes show frequent gains or losses while homozygosity of chromosome 7 is rare. We hypothesized that genes essential to survival show allele-specific expression (ASE) on both alleles of chromosome 7. Using a panel of 21 recently established low-passage CRC cell lines, we performed ASE analysis by hybridizing DNA and cDNA to Infinium HumanExome-12 v1 BeadChips containing cSNPs in 392 chromosome 7 genes. The results of this initial analysis were extended and validated in a set of 89 paired normal mucosa and CRC samples. We found that 14% of genes showed ASE in one or more cell lines and identified allelic switching of the potential cell survival genes DLX5, GRB10, and SVOPL on chromosome 7, whereby the most abundantly expressed allele in the normal tissue is the lowest expressed allele in the tumor and vice versa. We established that this allelic switch does not result from loss of imprinting. The allelic switching of SVOPL may be a result of transcriptional downregulation, while the exact mechanisms resulting in the allelic switching of DLX5 and GRB10 remain to be elucidated. In conclusion, our results show that profound changes take place in allelic transcriptional regulation during the tumorigenesis of CRC.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Patients with glioblastoma have a high risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, the role of underlying genetic risk factors remains largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to discover whether genetic aberrations in glioblastoma associate with VTE risk.
    Methods: In this cohort study, all consecutive patients diagnosed with glioblastoma in two Dutch hospitals between February 2017 and August 2020 were included. Targeted DNA next-generation sequencing of all glioblastomas was performed for diagnostic purposes and included mutational status of the genes ATRX, BRAF, CIC, FUBP1, H3F3A, IDH1, IDH2, PIK3CA, PTEN and TP53 and amplification/gain or deletion of BRAF, CDKN2A, EGFR, NOTCH1 and PTEN. The primary outcome was VTE within three months before glioblastoma diagnosis until two years after. Cumulative incidences were determined using competing risk analysis adjusting for mortality. Univariable Cox regression analysis was performed to determine hazard ratios.
    Results: From 324 patients with glioblastoma, 25 were diagnosed with VTE. Patients with a CDKN2A deletion had a 12-month adjusted cumulative incidence of VTE of 12.5 % (95%CI: 7.3-19.3) compared with 5.4 % (95%CI: 2.6-9.6) in patients with CDKN2A wildtype (p = 0.020), corresponding to a HR of 2.53 (95%CI: 1.12-5.73, p = 0.026). No significant associations were found between any of the other investigated genes and VTE.
    Conclusion: This study suggests a potential role for CDKN2A deletion in glioblastoma-related VTE. Therefore, once independently validated, CDKN2A mutational status may be a promising predictor to identify glioblastoma patients at high risk for VTE, who may benefit from thromboprophylaxis.
