Abstract
Gastric extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue is a distinct entity in that Helicobacter pylori infection plays the most important causative role in the development of the disease. To investigate the genomic alteration in gastric marginal zone lymphoma that was resistant to the H. pylori eradication therapy, we analyzed 19 cases of the gastric marginal zone lymphoma using fluorescence in situ hybridization for MALT1, BCL10 rearrangement, and targeted sequencing using an Illumina platform. Major genetic alterations affected genes involved in nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway activation and included MALT1 rearrangement (39%), and somatic mutations of TRAF3 (21%), TNFAIP3 (16%), and NOTCH1 (16%). In the MALT1 rearrangement-negative group, disruptive somatic mutations of TRAF3 were the most common alterations (4/12, 33%), followed by somatic mutations of TNFAIP3 (3/12, 25%), and NOTCH1 (3/12, 25%). The present study confirms that genes involved in activation of NF-κB-signaling pathways are a major driver in oncogenesis of H. pylori eradication-resistant gastric marginal zone lymphoma and revealed that TRAF3 mutation is a major contributor in MALT1 rearrangement-negative gastric marginal zone lymphoma.

Abstract
The anticancer effects of Src kinase inhibitors are controversial. This study found an association between alterations in the TP53 gene and the synergy score for combination treatment with doxorubicin and an Src kinase inhibitor using human osteosarcoma cell lines (MG63 and U2OS) and human colon cancer cell line. Doxorubicin was found to activate signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 via Src kinase in cancer cells harboring alterations in TP53. A drug combination study using patient-derived cells confirmed that an Src kinase inhibitor synergizes with doxorubicin in cancer cells harboring alterations in TP53, while antagonizing its effect in cancer cells expressing wild-type TP53. Our findings suggest that genetic alterations in TP53 are a critical factor in determining the use of a combination treatment of doxorubicin and Src inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the hospitalization rate at early period of kidney transplantation (KT) is still high, the association between the hospitalization within 1 year after KT and graft survival is unclear. We investigated the incidence and causes of hospitalization and clinical outcome of the patients hospitalized within 1 year after KT. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 174 KT recipients (KTRs) hospitalized within 1 year after KT between 2013 and 2015. RESULTS Among them, 84 (48%) KTRs were admitted within 1 year after KT, and the number of hospitalizations was 116. The mean time from KT to first hospitalization was 4.2 months. Seventy-eight percent of the patients were hospitalized for medical causes and 22% for surgical causes. The most common cause was cytomegalovirus infection (CMV) (23.3%), followed by acute rejection (11.2%) and urinary tract infection (10.3%). Recipients and donors in the hospitalized group were significantly older than the nonhospitalized group. The proportions of deceased donor KT, acute rejection, more than 50% panel-reactive antibody, and positive donor-specific antibody were significantly higher in the hospitalized group than in the nonhospitalized group. Graft and patient survivals were lower in the hospitalized group than in the nonhospitalized group. Deceased donor KT and acute rejection were independent risk factors for hospitalization. CONCLUSION The incidence of KTRs hospitalized within 1 year after KT was high. Most causes of hospitalization were CMV infection, acute rejection, and urinary tract infection. Therefore, the immunosuppression status of these patients should be closely monitored to reduce the hospitalization rate.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent advances in next generation sequencing technologies have uncovered the genetic background of various diseases. The mutations in the SYNE1 gene was previously identified as a potential cause of pure cerebellar ataxia. Although autosomal recessive ataxias are slightly more frequent than autosomal dominant forms worldwide, autosomal recessive forms are extremely rare in Korea. In this study, we aimed to identify SYNE1-associated ataxia by whole exome sequencing in a Korean sample, and to review the prevalence of SYNE1 in non-French-Canadians. METHODS Patients with suspected cerebellar ataxia who visited movement disorders clinic from March 2014 to December 2017 were clinically screened. After excluding cases with acquired causes and common genetic causes in Korea, including spinocerebellar ataxia and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy, 63 undiagnosed subjects were screened for SYNE1 mutations by next generation sequencing methods. RESULTS We identified four novel mutations (one splicing, one truncating, and two missense mutations) distributed throughout the SYNE1 gene in two patients. The phenotype was mainly pure cerebellar ataxia in both cases. However, axonal neuropathy, mild frontal dysfunction, and autonomic dysfunction were also revealed. The age of disease onset was relatively late and the disease course was only mildly progressive. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that SYNE1 mutations are not an uncommon cause of recessive ataxia with additional clinical features in the Korean population. The results of this study should alert neurologists to request SYNE1 testing to aid the diagnosis of undetermined adult-onset ataxia in Korean patients.

Abstract
Targeted deep sequencing across broad genomic regions has been used to detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. However, since most PDACs harbor a mutation in KRAS, sequencing of broad regions needs to be systemically compared to analyzing only KRAS mutations for PDAC. Using capture-based targeted deep sequencing, we detected somatic tumor mutations in 17 fine needle aspiration biopsy and 69 longitudinal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples from 17 PDAC patients. KRAS mutations were detected in 10 out of 17 pretreatment patient plasma samples. Next, interrogation of genetic alterations in matched primary tumor samples detected ctDNA in 12 of 17 pretreatment plasma samples and cfDNA sequencing across the 83 target genes identified ctDNA in 15 of 17 cases (88.2% sensitivity). This improved sensitivity of ctDNA detection resulted in enhanced tumor burden monitoring when we analyzed longitudinal plasma samples. We found that cfDNA sequencing detected the lowest mutant allelic fractions and number of variants when complete response or partial response to chemotherapy was achieved. We demonstrated that ctDNA levels measured by targeted deep sequencing sensitively indicate the presence of cancer and correlate well with clinical responses to therapy and disease progression in PDAC patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a monoclonal plasma cell (MPC) malignancy primarily propagating in the bone marrow. To understand molecular signatures of MM in association with tumor microenvironment, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing for bone marrow biopsies from seven newly diagnosed myeloma patients. Clinical parameters of 7 MM patients differed, which were recapitulated in the single-cell transcriptome analysis. In comparison to the normal bone marrow from healthy donors, patient-specific monoclonal immunoglobulin gene expression as well as high levels of plasma cell markers distinguished the MPC clusters in myeloma patients. For other cell type identification, reference transcriptome for bone marrow immune cells were utilized. Major cell populations were determined to be monocytes, T cells, B cells, and erythroid cells. T cells manifested a mature phenotype encompassing from naïve to cytotoxic effector gene expression characteristics. B cells and erythroid cell populations were in various developmental stages. Monocytes demonstrated relatively constant gene expression throughout healthy donors to myeloma patients. In more advanced tumor stages, the composition and gene expression characteristics of MPCs and bone marrow immune cells were altered. Taken together, single cell RNA sequencing reveals gene expression characteristics of both myeloma and bone marrow immune cells which provide potential therapeutic strategies targeting tumor or immune compartment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and Purpose Studies have suggested that the antigenicity of tumor cell is highly correlated with response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Checkpoint blockade has been found to be particularly effective in tumors with high tumor mutational burden (TMB) in certain indications such as melanoma and NSCLC, while cancers with lower TMB have been shown to be less responsive to checkpoint inhibitors. In HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC), TMB has potential to be a candidate prognostic or predictive marker for conventional treatments including HER2 targeting agents. This research was conducted to explore the clinical implication of somatic TMB in a well-defined HER2-positive MBC population who were previously treated but progressed.
Methods Forty-six patients with HER2-positive MBC who have progressed from more than two HER2-directed therapies were enrolled from 2007 to 2016. Whole exome sequencing was performed on FFPE tumor samples and matched normal tissue. Sequencing reads were aligned to reference human genome using BWA-MEM followed by standard pre-processing steps and GATK to generate analysis ready BAM files. MuTect suite was used to generate somatic single nucleotide variants (SNV) calls using default parameters by comparing BAM files from tumor and matched normal samples. TMB for a subject was defined as the sum of somatic non-synonymous SNVs that passed all the filters described.
Results Among 46 patients, 13 (28.3%) patients were determined to estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and 9 (19.6%) patients were determined to progesterone receptor (PR)-positive in immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis. The median age 48 years (range: 29-68) and all (100%) patients were female. 20 patients (43.5%) were recurrent MBC compared to de novo (n = 26, 56.5%). 16 (34.6%) patients demonstrated more than 100 mutations (and defined as high TMB in this population). The median follow up of duration was 57.5 months (95% CI: 55.4 - 60.6). The median overall survival (OS) according to low or high TMB status (44.9 months vs. 85.8 months) was significantly different (p = 0.016). In a multivariate Cox regression analysis, TMB was the only independent prognostic factor for good OS when adjusted for age and recurrence (Hazard ratio = 0.32, 95% CI, 0.103 - 0.998, p = 0.049).
Conclusions Data implicated that high TMB can be a prognostic marker that predicts good OS outcomes with conventional HER2-directed treatments and chemotherapy. Furthermore, future trials using TMB as a stratification marker could identify the right population with potential to respond to immune checkpoint inhibitor after recurrence following HER2-directed treatments. To our knowledge this is the first report that tumor mutation burden (TMB) associate with response to standard of care therapy in HER2+ breast tumors.

Abstract
This study explored the clinical implications of tumor mutational burden (TMB) in a well-defined HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patient population who had been previously treated but had subsequent disease progression. Whole exome sequencing was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples and matched normal tissue. Among the 46 patients, 13 (28.3%) were estrogen receptor-positive and nine (19.6%) were progesterone receptor-positive by immunohistochemistry analysis. Twenty patients (43.5%) had recurrent MBC compared with de novo MBC (n = 26, 56.5%). Sixteen patients (34.6%) demonstrated more than 100 somatic non-synonymous SNV mutations, which was predefined as a high TMB. The median follow-up duration was 57.5 months. The median overall survival (mOS) differed significantly between low and high TMB status (44.9 months vs. 85.8 months, respectively, p = 0.016). In a multivariate Cox regression analysis, TMB was the only independent prognostic factor for good metastatic overall survival after adjusting for age and recurrence (Hazard ratio [HR] = 0.32, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.103-0.998, p = 0.049). These data suggest that high TMB may be a prognostic marker for predicting good overall survival for patients undergoing conventional HER2-directed treatments and chemotherapy. Further, future clinical trials harnessing TMB may benefit by identifying an appropriate population who may have a favorable response to immunotherapy after recurrence following HER2-directed treatments.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‒tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are effective clinical therapeutics for EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Osimertinib, a thirdgeneration EGFR TKI, has proven effective against T790M mutations. However, the vast majority of patients acquire resistance following successful treatment. A 59-year-old female patient with metastatic NSCLC developed resistance after 43 weeks of osimertinib. CancerSCAN of the metastatic liver lesion revealed a EGFR C797G mutation at an allele frequency of 72%, a preexisting T790M mutation (73%) in cis and an exon 19 deletion (87%). Another 53-year-old female patient developed systemic progression after 10 months of osimertinib. CancerSCAN of the lung biopsy identified an EGFR L718Q mutation at an allele frequency of 7%, concomitant PIK3CA E545K (12.90%) and preexisting EGFR L858R (38%), but loss of the T790M mutation. The heterogeneity of osimertinib resistance mechanisms warrants further investigation into novel or combination agents to overcome the rare acquired resistances.

Abstract
In-depth molecular pathogenesis of ground-glass nodular lung adenocarcinoma has not been well understood. The objectives of this study were to identify genomic alterations in ground-glass nodular lung adenocarcinomas and to investigate whether viral transcripts were detected in these tumors. Nine patients with pure (n = 4) and part-solid (n = 5) ground-glass nodular adenocarcinomas were included. Six were females with a median age of 58 years. We performed targeted exon sequencing and RNA sequencing. EGFR (n = 10), IDH2 (n = 2), TP53 (n = 1), PTEN (n = 1), EPHB4 (n = 1), and BRAF (n = 1) were identified as driver mutations by targeted exon sequencing. Vasculogenesis-associated genes including NOTCH4 and TGFBR3 expression were significantly downregulated in adenocarcinoma tissue versus normal tissue (adjusted P values < 0.001 for both NOTCH4 and TGFBR3). In addition, five novel fusion gene loci were identified in four lung adenocarcinomas. However, no significant virus-associated transcripts were detected in tumors. In conclusions, EGFR, IDH2, TP53, PTEN, EPHB4, and BRAF were identified as putative driver mutations of ground-glass nodular adenocarcinomas. Five novel fusion genes were also identified in four tumors. Viruses do not appear to be involved in the tumorigenesis of ground-glass nodular lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a very rare subtype of colorectal adenocarcinoma (COAD) with a poor clinical prognosis. Although understanding key mechanisms of tumor progression in SRCCs is critical for precise treatment, a comprehensive view of genomic alterations is lacking. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed whole-exome sequencing of tumors and matched normal blood as well as RNA sequencing of tumors and matched normal colonic tissues from five patients with SRCC. RESULTS: We identified major somatic alterations and characterized transcriptional changes at the gene and pathway level. Based on high-throughput sequencing, the pattern of mutations and copy number variations was overall similar to that of COAD. Transcriptome analysis revealed that major transcription factors, such as SRF, HNF4A, ZEB1, and RUNX1, with potential regulatory roles in key pathways, including focal adhesion, the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and the MAPK signaling pathway, may play a role in the tumorigenesis of SRCC. Furthermore, significantly upregulated genes in SRCCs were enriched for epithelial-mesenchymal transition genes, and accumulation of mucin in intracytoplasm was associated with the overexpression of MUC2. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the molecular basis of colorectal SRCC exhibits key differences from that of consensus COAD. Our findings clarify important genetic features of particular abnormalities in SRCCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The MYO6 gene, if altered, can cause nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) either in an autosomal dominant (AD) (DFNA22) or recessive form. The present study identified MYO6 variants in the cohort of Korean AD NSHL families and investigated the audiological phenotypes of DFNA22 with respect to suggesting clinical guides for the counseling of DFNA22. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed on 81 AD NSHL families in two hospitals. Among them, five families (SH21, SB60, SB247, SB290 and SB305) segregating with MYO6 variant were genetically and clinically assessed. RESULTS We identified two novel missense variants of MYO6: p.G223R (SB290) and p.T158R (SB305). A known heterozygous truncation variant, p.R205X, reported previously (SH21, SB60), was identified (SB247). The overall frequency of DFNA22 among such cases was 6.2%. Specifically, we found p.R205X from three of five DFNA22 families (60%). Five DFNA22 families demonstrated extremely diverse audiogram configurations and age of onset with even intrafamilial variations, whereas the severity of hearing loss mostly ranged within moderate. CONCLUSIONS We report a recurring predominant allele and two new missense variants of MYO6, highlighting the significant contribution of MYO6 to AD NSHL in the Korean population. Extremely diverse audiological configurations of DFNA22 suggest that MYO6 should be considered in future genetic studies of patients with AD NSHL. Gradual progression with a good speech audiometry score could provide physicians with clinical insight with respect to advising patients to use hearing aids or consider middle ear implants, whereas, in the case of certain exceptional circumstances, physicians could provide patients with the option to consider a cochlear implant.

Abstract
Purpose With the emergence of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, profiling a wide range of genomic alterations has become a possibility resulting in improved implementation of targeted cancer therapy. In Asian populations, the prevalence and spectrum of clinically actionable genetic alterations has not yet been determined because of a lack of studies examining high-throughput cancer genomic data. Materials and Methods To address this issue, 1,071 tumor samples were collected from five major cancer institutes in Korea and analyzed using targeted NGS at a centralized laboratory. Samples were either fresh frozen or formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) and the quality and yield of extracted genomic DNA was assessed. In order to estimate the effect of sample condition on the quality of sequencing results, tissue preparation method, specimen type (resected or biopsied) and tissue storage time were compared. Results We detected 7,360 non-synonymous point mutations, 1,164 small insertions and deletions, 3,173 copy number alterations, and 462 structural variants. Fifty-four percent of tumors had one or more clinically relevant genetic mutation. The distribution of actionable variants was variable among different genes. Fresh frozen tissues, surgically resected specimens, and recently obtained specimens generated superior sequencing results over FFPE tissues, biopsied specimens, and tissues with long storage duration. Conclusion In order to overcome, challenges involved in bringing NGS testing into routine clinical use, a centralized laboratory model was designed that could improve the NGS workflows, provide appropriate turnaround times and control costs with goal of enabling precision medicine.

Abstract
In breast cancer (BC), up to 10–20% patients were known to have clinical benefit with immune checkpoint inhibitors, and biomarkers are needed for optimal use of this multi-potential therapeutic strategy. Accordingly, we conducted an experiment to identify expression of genes associated with immune checkpoints that represent potential targets of cancer immunotherapy. We performed whole-transcriptome sequencing and whole-exome sequencing using 37 refractory BC specimens. In the immune pathway gene set expression analysis, we found that HER2 expression and previous taxane treatment were positively correlated with high expression of immune gene set expression (p = 0.070 and 0.008, respectively). The nine genes associated with immune checkpoints - PDCD1(PD-1), CD274(PD-L1), CD276(B7-H3), CTLA-4, IDO1, LAG3, VTCN1, HAVCR2, and TNFRSF4(OX40) - interacted with each other. In addition, HER2 expression also affected the expression levels of these genes (p = 0.044). Lastly, expression of immune checkpoint genes and tissue-infiltrating lymphocytes were positively correlated in metastatic BCs (p < 0.001). In conclusion, we suggest that HER2 expression and previous taxane treatment are potential surrogate markers for high expression of immune checkpoint genes and immune pathway gene sets. Further study of the BC immune signature with large-scale, translational data sets is warranted.

Abstract
Targeted panel sequencing was performed to determine molecular targets and biomarkers in 72 children with neuroblastoma. Frequent genetic alterations were detected in ALK (16.7%), BRCA1 (13.9%), ATM (12.5%), and PTCH1 (11.1%) in an 83-gene panel. Molecular targets for targeted therapy were identified in 16 of 72 patients (22.2%). Two-thirds of ALK mutations were known to increase sensitivity to ALK inhibitors. Sequence alterations in ARID1B were identified in 5 of 72 patients (6.9%). Four of five ARID1B alterations were detected in tumors of high-risk patients. Two of five patients with ARID1B alterations died of disease progression. Relapse-free survival was lower in patients with ARID1B alterations than in those without (p = 0.01). In analysis confined to high-risk patients, 3-year overall survival was lower in patients with an ARID1B alteration (33.3 ± 27.2%) or MYCN amplification (30.0 ± 23.9%) than in those with neither ARID1B alteration nor MYCN amplification (90.5 ± 6.4%, p = 0.05). These results provide possibilities for targeted therapy and a new biomarker identifying a subgroup of neuroblastoma patients with poor prognosis.

Abstract
Single cell transcriptome analysis is a powerful tool for defining cell types or sub-populations within a heterogeneous bulk population. Tumor-associated microenvironment is a complex ecosystem consisting of numerous cell types that support tumor growth, angiogenesis, immune evasion, and metastasis. With the success of checkpoint inhibitors targeting the immune cell compartment, tumor microenvironment is emerging as a potential anti-cancer target, and understanding it has become an imminent subject in cancer biology.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin M multiple myeloma (IgM MM) is an extremely rare subtype of multiple myeloma with a poor clinical outcome. In this study, bone marrow aspirates of MM patients, including two cases of IgM MM, were analyzed by whole exome sequencing and RNA sequencing. Recurrent somatic mutations in the NRAS, KRAS, CCND1, DIS3, and TP53 genes were found in IgM MM and other types of MM, in agreement with previous studies. Overall transcription profiles of IgM and other types of MM clustered together, but separate from normal blood or peripheral plasma cells. Among the differentially expressed genes in IgM MM, IRF4 was highly expressed in IgM as well as in a subset of other types of MM patients. Thus, IRF4 is an independent prognostic factor for general MM patients. Taken together, the somatic mutation and transcriptome profiles support the idea that IgM MM can be classified as an aggressive MM subtype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MYO15A variants, except those in the N-terminal domain, have been shown to be associated with congenital or pre-lingual severe-to-profound hearing loss (DFNB3), which ultimately requires cochlear implantation in early childhood. Recently, such variants have also been shown to possibly cause moderate-to-severe hearing loss. Herein, we also demonstrate that some MYO15A mutant alleles can cause postlingual onset of progressive partial deafness. METHODS Two multiplex Korean families (SB246 and SB224), manifesting postlingual, progressive, partial deafness in an autosomal recessive fashion, were recruited. Molecular genetics testing was performed in two different pipelines, in a parallel fashion, for the SB246 family: targeted exome sequencing (TES) of 129 known deafness genes from the proband and whole exome sequencing (WES) of all affected subjects. Only the former pipeline was performed for the SB224 family. Rigorous bioinformatics analyses encompassing structural variations were executed to investigate any causative variants. RESULTS In the SB246 family, two different molecular diagnostic pipelines provided exactly the same candidate variants: c.5504G > A (p.R1835H) in the motor domain and c.10245_10247delCTC (p.S3417del) in the FERM domain of MYO15A. In the SB224 family, c.9790C > T (p.Q3264X) and c.10263C > G (p.I3421M) in the FERM domain were detected as candidate variants. CONCLUSIONS Some recessive MYO15A variants can cause postlingual onset of progressive partial deafness. The phenotypic spectrum of DFNB3 should be extended to include such partial deafness. The mechanism for a milder phenotype could be due to the milder pathogenic potential from hypomorphic alleles of MYO15A or the presence of modifier genes. This merits further investigation.

Abstract
Single-cell RNA-seq reveals the cellular heterogeneity inherent in the population of cells, which is very important in many clinical and research applications. Recent advances in droplet microfluidics have achieved the automatic isolation, lysis, and labeling of single cells in droplet compartments without complex instrumentation. However, barcoding errors occurring in the cell encapsulation process because of the multiple-beads-in-droplet and insufficient throughput because of the low concentration of beads for avoiding multiple-beads-in-a-droplet remain important challenges for precise and efficient expression profiling of single cells. In this study, we developed a new droplet-based microfluidic platform that significantly improved the throughput while reducing barcoding errors through deterministic encapsulation of inertially ordered beads. Highly concentrated beads containing oligonucleotide barcodes were spontaneously ordered in a spiral channel by an inertial effect, which were in turn encapsulated in droplets one-by-one, while cells were simultaneously encapsulated in the droplets. The deterministic encapsulation of beads resulted in a high fraction of single-bead-in-a-droplet and rare multiple-beads-in-a-droplet although the bead concentration increased to 1000 μl-1, which diminished barcoding errors and enabled accurate high-throughput barcoding. We successfully validated our device with single-cell RNA-seq. In addition, we found that multiple-beads-in-a-droplet, generated using a normal Drop-Seq device with a high concentration of beads, underestimated transcript numbers and overestimated cell numbers. This accurate high-throughput platform can expand the capability and practicality of Drop-Seq in single-cell analysis.

Abstract
Dysplastic nodules are premalignant neoplastic nodules found in explanted livers with cirrhosis. Genetic signatures of premalignant dysplastic nodules (DNs) with concurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may provide an insight in the molecular evolution of hepatocellular carcinogenesis. We analyzed four patients with multifocal nodular lesions and cirrhotic background by whole-exome sequencing (WES). The genomic profiles of somatic single nucleotide variations (SNV) and copy number variations (CNV) in DNs were compared to those of HCCs. The number and variant allele frequency of somatic SNVs of DNs and HCCs in each patient was identical along the progression of pathological grade. The somatic SNVs in DNs showed little conservation in HCC. Additionally, CNVs showed no conservation. Phylogenetic analysis based on SNVs and copy number profiles indicated a nonlinear segregation pattern, implying independent development of DNs and HCC in each patient. Thus, somatic mutations in DNs may be developed separately from other malignant nodules in the same liver, suggesting a nonlinear model for hepatocarcinogenesis from DNs to HCC.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major risk factor for liver cancer; therefore, its prevention is an important clinical goal. Ablation of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) or the protein kinase Hippo signaling pathway induces liver cancer via activation of AKT or the transcriptional regulators YAP/TAZ, respectively; however, the potential for crosstalk between the PTEN/AKT and Hippo/YAP/TAZ pathways in liver tumorigenesis has thus far remained unclear. Here, we have shown that deletion of both PTEN and SAV1 in the liver accelerates the development of NAFLD and liver cancer in mice. At the molecular level, activation of YAP/TAZ in the liver of Pten-/- Sav1-/- mice amplified AKT signaling through the upregulation of insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS2) expression. Both ablation of YAP/TAZ and activation of the Hippo pathway could rescue these phenotypes. A high level of YAP/ TAZ expression was associated with a high level of IRS2 expression in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Moreover, treatment with the AKT inhibitor MK-2206 or knockout of IRS2 by AAV-Cas9 successfully repressed liver tumorigenesis in Pten-/- Sav1-/- mice. Thus, our findings suggest that Hippo signaling interacts with AKT signaling by regulating IRS2 expression to prevent NAFLD and liver cancer progression and provide evidence that impaired crosstalk between these 2 pathways accelerates NAFLD and liver cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated the prevalence of osteoporosis and the risk factors for its progression in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). METHODS Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to prospectively measure changes in bone mineral density (BMD) before kidney transplantation (KT) and 1 year after transplantation in 207 individuals. We also analyzed the risk factors of osteoporosis progression during this period. RESULTS Prior to KT, the mean BMD score (T-score of the femur neck area) was -2.1 ± 1.2, and the prevalence of osteoporosis was 41.5% (86/207). At 1 year post-transplantation, the mean BMD score significantly decreased to -2.3 ± 1.1 (P < .001), and the prevalence of osteoporosis increased to 47.3% (98/207; P = .277). The BMD score worsened over the study period in 69.1% (143/207) of patients, improved in 24.1% (50/207), and showed no change in 6.8% (14/207). Minimal intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) improvement after KT was found to be an independent risk factor of osteoporosis progression. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates progressive loss of BMD after KT and sustained secondary hyperparathyroidism might influence the progression of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mean age of patients starting dialysis in Korea has increased to older than 60 years and the proportion of patients aged 65 and older exceeded 40% in 2014. Although the number of elderly dialysis patients is increasing rapidly, percentages of elderly patients undergoing kidney transplantation (KT) are very low. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent KT at Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center between 1982 and 2016. Elderly patients (≥65 years old) were compared with the control group of patients in their early sixties (60-64 years old). RESULTS Among a total of 1209 KT patients, those in their early sixties totaled 34 (2.8%) and the elderly totaled only 18 (1.5%). Patient and allograft survival rate showed no significant differences between the elderly and those in their early sixties. Death with a functioning graft accounted for 50% in both groups. However, occurrences of bacterial infection and tuberculosis were higher in the elderly (P = .011 and .047, respectively). In a multivariate analysis, longer duration of renal replacement therapy before KT and the occurrence of malignancy were independent risk factors for patient death (hazard ratio [HR], 1.027; P = .014; HR, 31.934; P = .016, respectively). Also, albuminuria at 6 months after KT was an independent risk factor for allograft loss (HR, 51.155; P = .016). CONCLUSION The overall survival rate of the elderly was not significantly lower than those in their early sixties. Even in the elderly, KT should not be delayed. In addition, careful surveillance for malignancy and measures to decrease the risk of infection are necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney re-transplantation is commonly considered to have a higher immunological risk than first kidney transplantation. Because of the organ shortage and increasing waiting lists, long-term outcomes of kidney re-transplantation are being studied. However, reports of re-transplantation outcomes are not common. We have reported our 30 years of experience with second kidney transplantations. METHODS Of 1210 kidney transplantations between November 1982 and August 2016 performed in our hospital, 105 were second kidney transplantations (2nd KT). Living donor KT was 44; deceased donor KT was 61. RESULTS Patient survival rates at 1, 5, and 10 years were 100%, 97.2%, and 90.7%, and graft survival rates were 97.0%, 94.6%, and 71.5%, respectively. The leading cause of graft failure in the 2nd KT was chronic rejection (60%). In addition, induction immunosuppressant, maintenance immunosuppressant, delayed graft function, and graft survival time at the 1st KT had a significant impact on graft survival time at the 2nd KT. CONCLUSIONS Reasonable results in both patient survival and graft survival rates were found in the 2nd KT. Careful monitoring of immunologic risk is needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The symptoms of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1 (PRPS1) deficiency diseases have been reported to be alleviated by medication. In the present study, we report biochemical data that favor PRPS1 deficiency-related hearing loss as a potential target for pharmaceutical treatment. METHODS We recruited 42 probands from subjects aged less than 15 years with a moderate degree of nonsyndromic autosomal-recessive or sporadic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in at least one side. Molecular genetic testing, including targeted exome sequencing (TES) of 129 genes for deafness, and in silico prediction were performed. RESULTS A strong candidate variant (p.A82P) of PRPS1 is co-segregated with SNHL in X-linked recessive inheritance from one Korean multiplex SNHL family. Subsequent measurement of in vitro enzymatic activities of PRPS1 from erythrocytes of affected and unaffected family members, as well as unrelated normal controls, confirmed a pathogenic role of this variant. In detail, compared to normal hearing controls (0.23-0.26 nmol/ml/h), the proband, the affected sibling and their normal hearing mother demonstrated a significantly decreased PRPS1 enzymatic activity (0.07, 0.03 and 0.11 nmol/ml/h, respectively). This novel loss-of-function mutation of PRPS1 (p.A82P) is the ninth and sixth most reported mutation in the world and in Asia, respectively. CONCLUSIONS DFNX1 was found to account for approximately 2.4% (1/42) of moderate SNHL in a Korean pediatric population. Confirmation of PRPS1 activity deficiency and an audiologic phenotype that initially begins in a milder form of SNHL, as in our family, should indicate the need for rigorous genetic screening as early as possible.

Abstract
Therapies targeting the tyrosine kinase activity of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) have been proven to be effective in treating a subset of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring activating EGFR mutations. Inevitably these patients develop resistance to the EGFR-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Here, we performed integrated genomic analyses using an in vitro system to uncover alternative genomic mechanisms responsible for acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs. Specifically, we identified 80 genes whose expression is significantly increased in the erlotinib-resistant clones. RNAi-based systematic synthetic lethal screening of these candidate genes revealed that suppression of one upregulated transcript, SCRN1, a secernin family member, restores sensitivity to erlotinib by enhancing inhibition of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Furthermore, immunohistochemical analysis revealed increased levels of SCRN1 in 5 of 11 lung tumor specimens from EGFR-TKIs resistant patients. Taken together, we propose that upregulation of SCRN1 is an additional mechanism associated with acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs and that its suppression serves as a novel therapeutic strategy to overcome drug resistance in these patients.

Abstract
Simultaneous sequencing of the genome and transcriptome at the single-cell level is a powerful tool for characterizing genomic and transcriptomic variation and revealing correlative relationships. However, it remains technically challenging to analyze both the genome and transcriptome in the same cell. Here, we report a novel method for simultaneous isolation of genomic DNA and total RNA (SIDR) from single cells, achieving high recovery rates with minimal cross-contamination, as is crucial for accurate description and integration of the single-cell genome and transcriptome. For reliable and efficient separation of genomic DNA and total RNA from single cells, the method uses hypotonic lysis to preserve nuclear lamina integrity and subsequently captures the cell lysate using antibody-conjugated magnetic microbeads. Evaluating the performance of this method using real-time PCR demonstrated that it efficiently recovered genomic DNA and total RNA. Thorough data quality assessments showed that DNA and RNA simultaneously fractionated by the SIDR method were suitable for genome and transcriptome sequencing analysis at the single-cell level. The integration of single-cell genome and transcriptome sequencing by SIDR (SIDR-seq) showed that genetic alterations, such as copy-number and single-nucleotide variations, were more accurately captured by single-cell SIDR-seq compared with conventional single-cell RNA-seq, although copy-number variations positively correlated with the corresponding gene expression levels. These results suggest that SIDR-seq is potentially a powerful tool to reveal genetic heterogeneity and phenotypic information inferred from gene expression patterns at the single-cell level.

Abstract
The etiologies and prevalence of sporadic, postlingual-onset, progressive auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) have rarely been documented. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence and molecular etiologies of these cases. Three out of 106 sporadic progressive hearing losses turned out to manifest ANSD. Through whole exome sequencing and subsequent bioinformatics analysis, two out of the three were found to share a de novo variant, p.E818K of ATP1A3, which had been reported to cause exclusively CAPOS (cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, and sensorineural hearing loss) syndrome. However, hearing loss induced by CAPOS has never been characterized to date. Interestingly, the first proband did not manifest any features of CAPOS, except subclinical areflexia; however, the phenotypes of second proband was compatible with that of CAPOS, making this the first reported CAPOS allele in Koreans. This ANSD phenotype was compatible with known expression of ATP1A3 mainly in the synapse between afferent nerve and inner hair cells. Based on this, cochlear implantation (CI) was performed in the first proband, leading to remarkable benefits. Collectively, the de novo ATP1A3 variant can cause postlingual-onset auditory synaptopathy, making this gene a significant contributor to sporadic progressive ANSD and a biomarker ensuring favorable short-term CI outcomes.

Abstract
Background We aimed to establish a prospectively enrolled colorectal cancer (CRC) cohort for targeted sequencing of primary tumors from CRC patients. In parallel, we established collateral PDC models from the matched primary tumor tissues, which may be later used as preclinical models for genome-directed targeted therapy experiments. Results In all, we identified 27 SNVs in the 6 genes such as PIK3CA (N = 16), BRAF (N = 6), NRAS (N = 2), and CTNNB1 (N = 1), PTEN (N = 1), and ERBB2 (N = 1). RET-NCOA4 translocation was observed in one out of 105 patients (0.9%). PDC models were successfully established from 62 (55.4%) of the 112 samples. To confirm the genomic features of various tumor cells, we compared variant allele frequency results of the primary tumor and progeny PDCs. The Pearson correlation coefficient between the variants from primary tumor cells and PDCs was 0.881. Methods Between April 2014 and June 2015, 112 patients with CRC who underwent resection of the primary tumor were enrolled in the SMC Oncology Biomarker study. The PDC culture protocol was performed for all eligible patients. All of the primary tumors from the 112 patients who provided written informed consent were genomically sequenced with targeted sequencing. In parallel, PDC establishment was attempted for all sequenced tumors. Conclusions We have prospectively sequenced a CRC cohort of 105 patients and successfully established 62 PDC in parallel. Each genomically characterized PDCs can be used as a preclinical model especially in rare genomic alteration event.

Abstract
Genome sequence analysis of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) variants from patient specimens has revealed the evolutionary dynamics and mechanisms of pathogenesis of the virus. However, most studies have analyzed the consensus sequences of MERS-CoVs, precluding an investigation of intrapatient heterogeneity. Here, we analyzed non–consensus sequences to characterize intrapatient heterogeneity in cases associated with the 2015 outbreak of MERS in South Korea. Deep-sequencing analysis of MERS-CoV genomes performed on specimens from eight patients revealed significant intrapatient variation; therefore, sequence heterogeneity was further analyzed using targeted deep sequencing. A total of 35 specimens from 24 patients (including a super-spreader) were sequenced to detect and analyze variants displaying intrapatient heterogeneity. Based on the analysis of non–consensus sequences, we demonstrated the intrapatient heterogeneity of MERS-CoVs, with the highest level in the super-spreader specimen. The heterogeneity could be transmitted in a close association with variation in the consensus sequences, suggesting the occurrence of multiple MERS-CoV infections. Analysis of intrapatient heterogeneity revealed a relationship between D510G and I529T mutations in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the viral spike glycoprotein. These two mutations have been reported to reduce the affinity of the RBD for human CD26. Notably, although the frequency of both D510G and I529T varied greatly among specimens, the combined frequency of the single mutants was consistently high (87.7% ± 1.9% on average). Concurrently, the frequency of occurrence of the wild type at the two positions was only 6.5% ± 1.7% on average, supporting the hypothesis that selection pressure exerted by the host immune response played a critical role in shaping genetic variants and their interaction in human MERS-CoVs during the outbreak.

Abstract
PURPOSE: Phyllodes tumors (PTs) of the breast are rare, accounting for less than 1% of all breast tumors. Among PTs, malignant PTs (MPTs) have malignant characteristics and distant metastases occur in about 20% to 30% of MPTs. However, there is no effective treatment for MPTs with distant metastasis, resulting in an abject prognosis. We performed targeted deep sequencing on PTs to identify the associations between genetic alterations and clinical prognosis. METHODS: We performed targeted deep sequencing to evaluate the genetic characteristics of PTs and analyzed the relationships between clinical and genetic characteristics. RESULTS: A total of 17 PTs were collected between 2001 and 2012. Histologic review was performed by pathologists. The samples included three benign PTs, one borderline PT, and 13 MPTs. The most frequently detected genetic alteration occurred in the TERT promoter region (70.6%), followed by MED12 (64.7%). EGFR amplification and TP53 alteration were detected in four MPTs without genetic alterations in MED12 and TERT promoter regions. Genetic alterations of RARA and ZNF703 were repeatedly found in PTs with local recurrence, and genetic alterations of SETD2, BRCA2, and TSC1 were detected in PTs with distant metastasis. Especially, MPT harboring PTEN and RB1 copy number deletion showed rapid disease progression. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we provide genetic characterization and potential therapeutic target for this rare, potentially lethal disease. Further large-scale comprehensive genetic study and functional validation are warranted.

Abstract
In addition to the rapid advancement in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, clinical panel sequencing is being used increasingly in clinical studies and tests. However, tools that are used in NGS data analysis have not been comparatively evaluated in performance for panel sequencing. This study aimed to evaluate the tools used in the alignment process, the first procedure in bioinformatics analysis, by comparing tools that have been widely used with ones that have been introduced recently. With the accumulated panel sequencing data, detected variant lists were cataloged and inserted into simulated reads produced from the reference genome (h19). The amount of unmapped reads and misaligned reads, mapping quality distribution, and runtime were measured as standards for comparison. As the most widely used tools, Bowtie2 and BWA–MEM each showed explicit performance with AUC of 0.9984 and 0.9970 respectively. Kart, maintaining superior runtime and less number of misaligned read, also similarly possessed high level of AUC (0.9723). Such selection and optimization method of tools appropriate for panel sequencing can be utilized for fields requiring error minimization, such as clinical application and liquid biopsy studies.

Abstract
Accurate detection of genomic alterations using high-throughput sequencing is an essential component of precision cancer medicine. We characterize the variant allele fractions (VAFs) of somatic single nucleotide variants and indels across 5095 clinical samples profiled using a custom panel, CancerSCAN. Our results demonstrate that a significant fraction of clinically actionable variants have low VAFs, often due to low tumor purity and treatment-induced mutations. The percentages of mutations under 5% VAF across hotspots in EGFR, KRAS, PIK3CA, and BRAF are 16%, 11%, 12%, and 10%, respectively, with 24% for EGFR T790M and 17% for PIK3CA E545. For clinical relevance, we describe two patients for whom targeted therapy achieved remission despite low VAF mutations. We also characterize the read depths necessary to achieve sensitivity and specificity comparable to current laboratory assays. These results show that capturing low VAF mutations at hotspots by sufficient sequencing coverage and carefully tuned algorithms is imperative for a clinical assay. High-throughput sequencing is used to identify somatic variants in cancer patients. Here, the authors perform panel-based profiling of 5095 clinical samples and demonstrate that many clinically-actionable variants have low variant allele fractions, requiring assays with high detection sensitivity.

Abstract
Background Understanding the genomic determinants associated with metastasis in colorectal cancers (CRCs) provides crucial clues for improving patient care. Patients and methods In this study, we performed whole-exome sequencing as well as RNA sequencing analyses on five pairs of primary and liver metastasized samples from CRC patients together with blood/normal control samples for each pair. Results We identified genomic deletions in the region of 8p21-23 (q value <0.01) from analysis of recurrent regions with copy number variations in both primary and matched metastatic lesions. Consistent with this result, we found significantly decreased expression levels of all 12 genes (ADAMDEC1, C8orf80, CLDN23, EPHX2, GFRA2, NEFL, NEFM, PDLIM2, PTK2B, SCARA5, SLC18A1 and STMN4) located within this region (adjusted P<0.01). Notably, the mRNA levels of PDLIM2, a key regulator of well-known cancer-associated genes including the proto-oncogene c-MYC, an early response gene IER3, and regulators of apoptosis such as BCL2, FAS, and FASLG, were highly downregulated in tumors compared to normal tissues. Conclusion Taken together, our findings uncovered various genomic alterations potentially leading to metastasis in CRC and provide important insights into the development of potential therapeutic targets for preventing metastatic progression of CRC.

Abstract
Most anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) show good clinical response to ALK inhibitors. However, some ALK-rearranged NSCLC patients show various primary responses with unknown reasons. Previous studies focused on the clinical aspects of ALK fusions in small cohorts, or were conducted in vitro and/or in vivo to investigate the function of ALK. One of the suggested theories describes how echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4)-ALK variants play a role towards different sensitivities in ALK inhibitors. Until now, there has been no integrated comprehensive study that dissects ALK at the molecular level in a large scale. Here, we report the largest extensive molecular analysis of 158 ALK-rearranged NSCLCs and have investigated these findings in a cell line construct experiment. We discovered that NSCLCs with EML4-ALK short forms (variant 3/others) had more advanced stage and frequent metastases than cases with the long forms (variant 1/others) (p = 0.057, p < 0.05). In vitro experiments revealed that EML4-ALK short forms show lower sensitivity to ALK inhibitors than do long forms. Clinical analysis also showed a trend for the short forms showing worse PFS. Interestingly, we found that breakpoints of ALK are evenly distributed mainly in intron 19 and almost all of them undergo a non-homologous end-joining repair to generate ALK fusions. We also discovered four novel somatic ALK mutations in NSCLC (T1151R, R1192P, A1280V, and L1535Q) that confer primary resistance; all of them showed strong resistance to ALK inhibitors, as G1202R does. Through targeted deep sequencing, we discovered three novel ALK fusion partners (GCC2, LMO7, and PHACTR1), and different ALK fusion partners showed different intracellular localization. With our findings that the EML4-ALK variants, new ALK somatic mutations, and novel ALK-fusion partners may affect sensitivity to ALK inhibitors, we stress the importance of targeted therapy to take the ALK molecular profiling into consideration.

Abstract
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) correlates with tumor burden and provides early detection of treatment response and tumor genetic alterations in breast cancer (BC). In this study, we aimed to identify genetic alterations during the process of tumor clonal evolution and examine if ctDNA level well indicated clinical response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and BC recurrence. We performed targeted ultra-deep sequencing of plasma DNAs, matched germline DNAs and tumor DNAs from locally advanced BC patients. Serial plasma DNAs were collected at diagnosis, after the 1st cycle of NAC and after curative surgery. For the target enrichment, we designed RNA baits covering a total of ∼202kb regions of the human genome including a total of 82 cancer-related genes. For ctDNA, 15 serial samples were collected and 87% of plasma SNVs were detected in 13 BC samples that had somatic alterations in tumor tissues. The TP53 mutation was most commonly detected in primary tumor tissues and plasma followed by BRCA1 and BRCA2. At BC diagnosis, the amount of plasma SNVs did not correlate with clinical stage at diagnosis. With respect to the therapeutic effects of NAC, we found two samples in which ctDNA disappeared after the 1st NAC cycle achieved a pathologic complete response (pCR). In addition, the amount of ctDNA correlated with residual cancer volume detected by breast MRI. This targeted ultra-deep sequencing for ctDNA analysis would be useful for monitoring tumor burden and drug resistance. Most of all, we suggest that ctDNA could be the earliest predictor of NAC response.

Abstract
Purpose: Tumors continuously evolve to maintain growth; secondary mutations facilitate this process, resulting in high tumor heterogeneity. In this study, we compared mutations in paired primary and metastatic colorectal cancer tumor samples to determine whether tumor heterogeneity can predict tumor metastasis.Experimental Design: Somatic variations in 46 pairs of matched primary-liver metastatic tumors and 42 primary tumors without metastasis were analyzed by whole-exome sequencing. Tumor clonality was estimated from single-nucleotide and copy-number variations. The correlation between clinical parameters of patients and clonal heterogeneity in liver metastasis was evaluated.Results: Tumor heterogeneity across colorectal cancer samples was highly variable; however, a high degree of tumor heterogeneity was associated with a worse disease-free survival. Highly heterogeneous primary colorectal cancer was correlated with a higher rate of liver metastasis. Recurrent somatic mutations in APC, TP53, and KRAS were frequently detected in highly heterogeneous colorectal cancer. The variant allele frequency of these mutations was high, while somatic mutations in other genes such as PIK3CA and NOTCH1 were low. The number and distribution of primary colorectal cancer subclones were preserved in metastatic tumors.Conclusions: Heterogeneity of primary colorectal cancer tumors can predict the potential for liver metastasis and thus, clinical outcome of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models are important tools in precision medicine and for the development of targeted therapies to treat cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate our precision medicine strategy that integrates genomic profiling and preclinical drug-screening platforms, in order to personalize cancer treatments using PDX models. METHODS We performed array-comparative genomic hybridization, microarray, and targeted next-generation sequencing analyses, in order to determine the oncogenic driver mutations. PDX cells were obtained from PDXs and subsequently screened in vitro with 17 targeted agents. RESULTS PDX tumors recapitulated the histopathologic and genetic features of the patient tumors. Among the samples from lung cancer patients that were molecularly-profiled, copy number analysis identified unique focal MET amplification in one sample, 033 T, without RTK/RAS/RAF oncogene mutations. Although HER2 amplification in 033 T was not detected in the cancer panel, the selection of HER2-amplified clones was found in PDXs and PDX cells. Additionally, MET and HER2 overexpression were found in patient tumors, PDXs, and PDX cells. Crizotinib or EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatments significantly inhibited cell growth and impaired tumor sphere formation in 033 T PDX cells. CONCLUSIONS We established PDX cell models using surgical samples from lung cancer patients, and investigated their preclinical and clinical implications for personalized targeted therapy. Additionally, we suggest that MET and EGFR inhibitor-based therapy can be used to treat MET and HER2-overexpressing lung cancers, without receptor tyrosine kinase /RAS/RAF pathway alterations.

Abstract
Background Targeted deep sequencing is increasingly used to detect low-allelic fraction variants; it is therefore essential that errors that constitute baseline noise and impose a practical limit on detection are characterized. In the present study, we systematically evaluate the extent to which errors are incurred during specific steps of the capture-based targeted sequencing process. Results We removed most sequencing artifacts by filtering out low-quality bases and then analyze the remaining background noise. By recognizing that plasma DNA is naturally fragmented to be of a size comparable to that of mono-nucleosomal DNA, we were able to identify and characterize errors that are specifically associated with acoustic shearing. Two-thirds of C:G > A:T errors and one quarter of C:G > G:C errors were attributed to the oxidation of guanine during acoustic shearing, and this was further validated by comparative experiments conducted under different shearing conditions. The acoustic shearing step also causes A > G and A > T substitutions localized to the end bases of sheared DNA fragments, indicating a probable association of these errors with DNA breakage. Finally, the hybrid selection step contributes to one-third of the remaining C:G > A:T and one-fifth of the C > T errors. Conclusions The results of this study provide a comprehensive summary of various errors incurred during targeted deep sequencing, and their underlying causes. This information will be invaluable to drive technical improvements in this sequencing method, and may increase the future usage of targeted deep sequencing methods for low-allelic fraction variant detection.

Abstract
Molecular profiling of actionable mutations in refractory cancer patients has the potential to enable "precision medicine," wherein individualized therapies are guided based on genomic profiling. The molecular-screening program was intended to route participants to different candidate drugs in trials based on clinical-sequencing reports. In this screening program, we used a custom target-enrichment panel consisting of cancer-related genes to interrogate single-nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions, copy number variants, and a subset of gene fusions. From August 2014 through April 2015, 654 patients consented to participate in the program at Samsung Medical Center. Of these patients, 588 passed the quality control process for the 381-gene cancer-panel test, and 418 patients were included in the final analysis as being eligible for any anticancer treatment (127 gastric cancer, 122 colorectal cancer, 62 pancreatic/biliary tract cancer, 67 sarcoma/other cancer, and 40 genitourinary cancer patients). Of the 418 patients, 55 (12%) harbored a biomarker that guided them to a biomarker-selected clinical trial, and 184 (44%) patients harbored at least one genomic alteration that was potentially targetable. This study demonstrated that the panel-based sequencing program resulted in an increased rate of trial enrollment of metastatic cancer patients into biomarker-selected clinical trials. Given the expanding list of biomarker-selected trials, the guidance percentage to matched trials is anticipated to increase. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE This study demonstrated that the panel-based sequencing program resulted in an increased rate of trial enrollment of metastatic cancer patients into biomarker-selected clinical trials. Given the expanding list of biomarker-selected trials, the guidance percentage to matched trials is anticipated to increase.

Abstract
The anticancer effect of doxorubicin is closely related to the generation of reactive oxygen species. On the contrary, doxorubicin-induced reactive oxygen species induces heart failure, a critical side effect of doxorubicin. Antioxidant supplementation has been proposed to reduce the side effects. However, the use of antioxidants may hamper the anticancer effect of doxorubicin. In this study, doxorubicin-induced reactive oxygen species was shown to differentially affect cancer cells based on their TP53 genetic status; doxorubicin-induced apoptosis was attenuated by an antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine, in TP53 wild cells; however, N-acetylcysteine caused a synergistic increase in the apoptosis rate in TP53-altered cells. N-acetylcysteine prevented phosphorylation of P53 protein that had been induced by doxorubicin. However, N-acetylcysteine increased the cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase in the presence of doxorubicin. Synergy score of 26 patient-derived cells were evaluated after the combination treatment of doxorubicin and N-acetylcysteine. The synergy score was significantly higher in TP53-altered group compared with those in TP53 wild group. In conclusion, TP53 genetic alteration is a critical factor that determines the use of antioxidant supplements during doxorubicin treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background & Aims: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) that enables the analyses of massively parallel sequences of DNA can advance the understanding of the underlying molecular pathophysiologies of cancer. Such recent genomic analyses have revealed a complex mutational landscape for PDACs. The aims of this study were to investigate the genomic profile to predict the chemotherapy response in unresectable PDACs.
Methods: The total of 80 pathologically confirmed PDACs were enrolled and genomic DNA was extracted and quality control metrics of DNA analytes were measured. The specimens that passed a quality control test underwent targeted deep sequencing using a customized cancer panel (CancerSCAN) enriched in the exons of 83 genes.
Results: Clinical prognostic factors associated with survival in PDAC were gender, tumor mass size, stage and chemotherapy response rate. (P=0.078, 0.009, 0.052 and <0.001, respectively). Multivariate Cox proportional-hazards analysis revealed chemotherapy response rate (P < 0.001, hazard ratio (HR) = 1.908, 95% CI, 1.281 to 2.840) is an independent prognostic factor. There were 56 (71%) and 9 (11%) study patients who underwent gemcitabine based chemotherapy and FOLFIRINOX respectively. Response rate of study patients were as follows; CR+PR 14 (20%), SD (27%) and PD 28 (41%). There were only 9 (16%) and 4 (50%) patients who had CR+PR response gemcitabine based chemotherapy and FOLFIRINOX respectively.
Conclusion: Targeted sequencing using EUS-FNA specimens in PDAC showed excellent compatibilities to analyze genomic profiles of PDACs. Furthermore, novel genes associated with survival, metastasis and chemotherapy response in PDAC were identified.

Abstract
Abstract
Breast cancers (BC) in younger, premenopausal patients (YBC) tend to be more aggressive with worse prognosis, higher chance of relapse and poorer response to endocrine therapies compared to breast cancers in older patients. The proportion of YBC (age ≤ 40) among BC in East Asia is estimated to be 16-32%, significantly higher than the 7% reported in Western countries. In addition, approximately half of the Asian BC patients were premenopausal compared to 15-30% in the West. To characterize the molecular bases of Asian YBC, we have performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) and whole-transcriptome sequencing (WTS) on tumor and matched normal samples from 168 Korean BC patients consisting of 106 YBC cases (age ≤ 40) and 62 OBC cases (age > 40). We then performed comparison analyses with the TCGA BC cohort consisting of 1,116 tumors from primarily Caucasian patients, also grouped by age into YBC (age ≤ 40), IBC (40 < age ≤ 60) and OBC (age > 60). We performed logistic regression analyses to identify differentially expressed (DE) genes and pathways among age-based cohorts while controlling for the confounding effects of molecular subtype, tumor purity and stage. Within the Asian cohort, we found that estrogen response, endocrine therapy resistance, and various metabolism pathways are up-regulated in YBCs while cell cycle, proliferation and inflammatory pathways are up-regulated in OBCs. To separately examine molecular signatures from tumor, stroma and normal compartments, we used non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) analyses to virtually dissect bulk tumor expression data and identified 14 factors including 3 factors associated with normal tissues, 1 factor associated with stroma and 1 factor associated with tumor infiltrating leukocytes (TILs). By examining the correlation between pathway gene expression and NMF factors, we inferred that DE pathways such as fatty acid metabolism, bile acid biosynthesis, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were mainly active in stromal and normal tissue compartments. The TIL factor was significantly enriched in Asian BCs relative to Caucasian BCs with the highest TIL factor weight observed in Asian OBCs. Using gene expression signatures representing distinct types of TILs, we classified the combined cohort into three subtypes of varying TIL activities. Consistent with results from the NMF analysis, the TIL-high subtype is also significantly enriched in Asian BCs relative to Caucasian BCs. To our knowledge, this is the first large-scale multi-omics study of Asian breast cancer. Comparative analyses of multi-omics profiles from Asian and primarily Caucasian BC cohorts identified distinguishing molecular signatures associated with Asian BCs. Further, many signatures appeared to be specific to non-tumor compartments within bulk tumor, indicating that young Asian BCs may harbor distinctive tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Sorafenib is the only approved targeted agent as first-line treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Unfortunately, many HCC patients are initially not responsive to sorafenib. Due to anatomic limitations and underlying liver dysfunction, genomic studies of HCC patients have not been actively pursued yet compared to other solid tumors; especially, in sorafenib-treated subset. In this study, we have retrospectively identified advanced HCC patients who had archival tumor tissues available for targeted genomic sequencing and who had been treated with sorafenib.
Methods: We performed targeted genomic profiling for 381 cancer-related genes from 42 HCC (32 hepatitis B virus-related, 1 alcohol-related, 7 unknown) patients treated with sorafenib at Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, Korea from July 2008 to October 2013. We excluded 2 patients who were lost to follow up for evaluation of treatment response to sorafenib.
Results: Of the 40 patients, there were 5 confirmed PRs, 7 SDs, and 28 PDs. In 40 patients, there were 6 CDKN2B amplifications, 4 NTRK1 amplifications, 2 MET amplifications, 2 FGF19 amplifications, 2 CCND1 amplifications, 1 EGFR amplification, 1 FGF23 amplification and 1 CCNE1 amplification. In cell cycle-related genes, those patients with aberrations were less likely to respond to sorafenib. Of note, two patients whose tumor had CCND1 amplifications had de novo resistance to sorafenib.
Conclusions: Our study demonstrates inter-patient heterogeneity in advanced HCC patients and the role of cell cycle-associated genes in resistance mechanism to sorafenib is being investigated.

Abstract
Despite efforts to interrogate human genome variation through large-scale databases, systematic preference toward populations of Caucasian descendants has resulted in unintended reduction of power in studying non-Caucasians. Here we report a compilation of coding variants from 1,055 healthy Korean individuals (KOVA; Korean Variant Archive). The samples were sequenced to a mean depth of 75x, yielding 101 singleton variants per individual. Population genetics analysis demonstrates that the Korean population is a distinct ethnic group comparable to other discrete ethnic groups in Africa and Europe, providing a rationale for such independent genomic datasets. Indeed, KOVA conferred 22.8% increased variant filtering power in addition to Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) when used on Korean exomes. Functional assessment of nonsynonymous variant supported the presence of purifying selection in Koreans. Analysis of copy number variants detected 5.2 deletions and 10.3 amplifications per individual with an increased fraction of novel variants among smaller and rarer copy number variable segments. We also report a list of germline variants that are associated with increased tumor susceptibility. This catalog can function as a critical addition to the pre-existing variant databases in pursuing genetic studies of Korean individuals.

Abstract
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 are properly paired. Given the heterogeneity of data types, file types and sequencing depths in a multi-dimensional study, a robust program that provides a standardized metric for genotype comparisons would be useful. Here, we describe NGSCheckMate, a user-friendly software package for verifying sample identities from FASTQ, BAM or VCF files. This tool uses a model-based method to compare allele read fractions at known single-nucleotide polymorphisms, considering depth-dependent behavior of similarity metrics for identical and unrelated samples. Our evaluation shows that NGSCheckMate is effective for a variety of data types, including exome sequencing, whole-genome sequencing, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, targeted sequencing and single-cell whole-genome sequencing, with a minimal requirement for sequencing depth (>0.5X). An alignment-free module can be run directly on FASTQ files for a quick initial check. We recommend using this software as a QC step in NGS studies.

Abstract
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has recently emerged as an essential component of personalized cancer medicine due to its high throughput and low per-base cost. However, no sufficient guidelines for implementing NGS as a clinical molecular pathology test are established in Korea. To ensure clinical grade quality without inhibiting adoption of NGS, a taskforce team assembled by the Korean Society of Pathologists developed laboratory guidelines for NGS cancer panel testing procedures and requirements for clinical implementation of NGS. This consensus standard proposal consists of two parts: laboratory guidelines and requirements for clinical NGS laboratories. The laboratory guidelines part addressed several important issues across multistep NGS cancer panel tests including choice of gene panel and platform, sample handling, nucleic acid management, sample identity tracking, library preparation, sequencing, analysis and reporting. Requirements for clinical NGS tests were summarized in terms of documentation, validation, quality management, and other required written policies. Together with appropriate pathologist training and international laboratory standards, these laboratory standards would help molecular pathology laboratories to successfully implement NGS cancer panel tests in clinic. In this way, the oncology community would be able to help patients to benefit more from personalized cancer medicine.

Abstract
Single-cell transcriptome profiling of tumour tissue isolates allows the characterization of heterogeneous tumour cells along with neighbouring stromal and immune cells. Here we adopt this powerful approach to breast cancer and analyse 515 cells from 11 patients. Inferred copy number variations from the single-cell RNA-seq data separate carcinoma cells from non-cancer cells. At a single-cell resolution, carcinoma cells display common signatures within the tumour as well as intratumoral heterogeneity regarding breast cancer subtype and crucial cancer-related pathways. Most of the non-cancer cells are immune cells, with three distinct clusters of T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes and macrophages. T lymphocytes and macrophages both display immunosuppressive characteristics: T cells with a regulatory or an exhausted phenotype and macrophages with an M2 phenotype. These results illustrate that the breast cancer transcriptome has a wide range of intratumoral heterogeneity, which is shaped by the tumour cells and immune cells in the surrounding microenvironment. Genetic heterogeneity in breast cancer has been demonstrated at a single-cell resolution with high levels of genome coverage. Here, the authors perform transcriptome analysis of 515 single cells from 11 patients and define core gene expression signatures for subtype-specific single breast cancer cells and tumour-infiltrating immune cells.
