Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether an ethnic-specific variant (p.E508K) in the maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) gene hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (HNF1A) found in Mexicans is associated with higher sensitivity to sulfonylureas, as documented in patients with MODY3. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We recruited 96 participants (46 variant carriers and 50 age- and sex-matched noncarriers). Response to glipizide (one 2.5-5.0-mg dose), metformin (four 500-mg doses), and an oral glucose challenge was evaluated using a previously validated protocol. Glucose and insulin levels and their areas under the curve (AUCs) were compared between groups. RESULTS Carriers of the p.E508K variant had a lower maximum insulin peak during the glipizide challenge as compared with noncarriers with diabetes (P < 0.05). Also, carriers had a lower insulin response after the oral glucose challenge. Following an oral glucose tolerance test in the presence of metformin, carriers of the p.E508K variant with diabetes had a lower maximum insulin peak and total and incremental insulin AUC value as compared with noncarriers with diabetes (P < 0.05). A similar but nonsignificant trend was seen in participants without type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Carriers of variant p.E508K in HNF1A have a reduced insulin response rather than the increased sensitivity to sulfonylureas seen in patients with MODY3.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects more than 415 million people worldwide, and its costs to the health care system continue to rise. To identify common or rare genetic variation with potential therapeutic implications for T2D, we analyzed and replicated genome-wide protein coding variation in a total of 8,227 individuals with T2D and 12,966 individuals without T2D of Latino descent. We identified a novel genetic variant in the IGF2 gene associated with ∼20% reduced risk for T2D. This variant, which has an allele frequency of 17% in the Mexican population but is rare in Europe, prevents splicing between IGF2 exons 1 and 2. We show in vitro and in human liver and adipose tissue that the variant is associated with a specific, allele-dosage-dependent reduction in the expression of IGF2 isoform 2. In individuals who do not carry the protective allele, expression of IGF2 isoform 2 in adipose is positively correlated with both incidence of T2D and increased plasma glycated hemoglobin in individuals without T2D, providing support that the protective effects are mediated by reductions in IGF2 isoform 2. Broad phenotypic examination of carriers of the protective variant revealed no association with other disease states or impaired reproductive health. These findings suggest that reducing IGF2 isoform 2 expression in relevant tissues has potential as a new therapeutic strategy for T2D, even beyond the Latin American population, with no major adverse effects on health or reproduction.

Abstract
Genomic analysis of tumours has led to the identification of hundreds of cancer genes on the basis of the presence of mutations in protein-coding regions. By contrast, much less is known about cancer-causing mutations in non-coding regions. Here we perform deep sequencing in 360 primary breast cancers and develop computational methods to identify significantly mutated promoters. Clear signals are found in the promoters of three genes. FOXA1, a known driver of hormone-receptor positive breast cancer, harbours a mutational hotspot in its promoter leading to overexpression through increased E2F binding. RMRP and NEAT1, two non-coding RNA genes, carry mutations that affect protein binding to their promoters and alter expression levels. Our study shows that promoter regions harbour recurrent mutations in cancer with functional consequences and that the mutations occur at similar frequencies as in coding regions. Power analyses indicate that more such regions remain to be discovered through deep sequencing of adequately sized cohorts of patients.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Latino populations have one of the highest prevalences of type 2 diabetes worldwide. OBJECTIVES To investigate the association between rare protein-coding genetic variants and prevalence of type 2 diabetes in a large Latino population and to explore potential molecular and physiological mechanisms for the observed relationships. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Whole-exome sequencing was performed on DNA samples from 3756 Mexican and US Latino individuals (1794 with type 2 diabetes and 1962 without diabetes) recruited from 1993 to 2013. One variant was further tested for allele frequency and association with type 2 diabetes in large multiethnic data sets of 14,276 participants and characterized in experimental assays. MAIN OUTCOME AND MEASURES Prevalence of type 2 diabetes. Secondary outcomes included age of onset, body mass index, and effect on protein function. RESULTS A single rare missense variant (c.1522G>A [p.E508K]) was associated with type 2 diabetes prevalence (odds ratio [OR], 5.48; 95% CI, 2.83-10.61; P = 4.4 × 10(-7)) in hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-α (HNF1A), the gene responsible for maturity onset diabetes of the young type 3 (MODY3). This variant was observed in 0.36% of participants without type 2 diabetes and 2.1% of participants with it. In multiethnic replication data sets, the p.E508K variant was seen only in Latino patients (n = 1443 with type 2 diabetes and 1673 without it) and was associated with type 2 diabetes (OR, 4.16; 95% CI, 1.75-9.92; P = .0013). In experimental assays, HNF-1A protein encoding the p.E508K mutant demonstrated reduced transactivation activity of its target promoter compared with a wild-type protein. In our data, carriers and noncarriers of the p.E508K mutation with type 2 diabetes had no significant differences in compared clinical characteristics, including age at onset. The mean (SD) age for carriers was 45.3 years (11.2) vs 47.5 years (11.5) for noncarriers (P = .49) and the mean (SD) BMI for carriers was 28.2 (5.5) vs 29.3 (5.3) for noncarriers (P = .19). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Using whole-exome sequencing, we identified a single low-frequency variant in the MODY3-causing gene HNF1A that is associated with type 2 diabetes in Latino populations and may affect protein function. This finding may have implications for screening and therapeutic modification in this population, but additional studies are required.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is responsible for 10-15% of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. The aetiological role of infection with high-risk human papilloma viruses (HPVs) in cervical carcinomas is well established. Previous studies have also implicated somatic mutations in PIK3CA, PTEN, TP53, STK11 and KRAS as well as several copy-number alterations in the pathogenesis of cervical carcinomas. Here we report whole-exome sequencing analysis of 115 cervical carcinoma-normal paired samples, transcriptome sequencing of 79 cases and whole-genome sequencing of 14 tumour-normal pairs. Previously unknown somatic mutations in 79 primary squamous cell carcinomas include recurrent E322K substitutions in the MAPK1 gene (8%), inactivating mutations in the HLA-B gene (9%), and mutations in EP300 (16%), FBXW7 (15%), NFE2L2 (4%), TP53 (5%) and ERBB2 (6%). We also observe somatic ELF3 (13%) and CBFB (8%) mutations in 24 adenocarcinomas. Squamous cell carcinomas have higher frequencies of somatic nucleotide substitutions occurring at cytosines preceded by thymines (Tp*C sites) than adenocarcinomas. Gene expression levels at HPV integration sites were statistically significantly higher in tumours with HPV integration compared with expression of the same genes in tumours without viral integration at the same site. These data demonstrate several recurrent genomic alterations in cervical carcinomas that suggest new strategies to combat this disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Cervical cancer is a major public health problem worldwide. The etiological role of human papilloma virus (HPV) infections in cervical cancer is well established. However, HPV infection is insufficient to account for the development of cervical cancers because only 2 % of women infected with HPV eventually develop invasive carcinomas. We have therefore initiated a large scale sequencing effort to provide comprehensive data on the global landscape of genomic aberrations and HPV variants that contribute to cervical cancer. Methods: We have carried out comprehensive whole exome sequencing analyses on 120 tumor-normal paired samples from Mexico and Norway. We also carried out transcriptome and whole genome sequencing analyses on a subset of the patients (81 and 14 individuals respectively). Results: The aggregate mutation rate across the dataset was 3.8 per megabase (Mb), with the most common mutations being C to T/G in the Tp*C dinucleotide context, at a rate of 15 mutations per Mb. In all, 18,037 mutations were found across the entire dataset, including 11,536 missense, 984 nonsense, 4691 silent, 231 splice site, 32 translation start site mutations, as well 443 deletions and 142 insertions. MutSig analyses to identify genes that were mutated at statistically significant frequencies across our dataset revealed 11 genes to be recurrently mutated with a false discovery rate of q<0.1 after correction for multiple hypothesis testing (and RNASeq-based evidence of robust gene expression). The most significantly mutated genes encode for members of the PIK3CA/PTEN and RAS/RAF/MAPK signaling pathways, as well as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). We have also uncovered novel patterns of HPV transcript abundance and sites of recurrent HPV integration in cell cycle related genes. In addition, our whole genome sequencing data suggests that HPV-negative p53-mutant tumors harbor high frequencies of genomic rearrangements. Conclusion: The comprehensive catalogue of genomic alterations provided by this project reveals potential novel therapeutic targets in cervical carcinomas. Our data also sets the stage for improving diagnostic and preventive strategies, especially in resource-limited settings with the highest incidence of cervical cancer.

Abstract
The neutron-rich lead isotopes, up to (216)Pb, have been studied for the first time, exploiting the fragmentation of a primary uranium beam at the FRS-RISING setup at GSI. The observed isomeric states exhibit electromagnetic transition strengths which deviate from state-of-the-art shell-model calculations. It is shown that their complete description demands the introduction of effective three-body interactions and two-body transition operators in the conventional neutron valence space beyond (208)Pb.

Abstract
Abstract
Today, more than 55% of the world's breast cancer cases are diagnosed in low and middle-income countries and in 2020, more that 70% of the cases will come from the developing nations. In Mexico, breast cancer-specific mortality doubled during the past 20 years, representing the second-leading cause of death in women between 30 and 59 years and the leading cause of cancer related death in the female population. According to statistics, in Mexico a woman dies due to breast cancer every two hours. Even though breast cancer represents a major public health problem in the developing world, knowledge about the genetic and genomic structure of breast tumors in Mexican or Latin American populations is very limited. In the past four years, we have participated in the Slim Initiative of Genomic Medicine (SIGMA) Project, a collaboration between the Carlos Slim Institute of Health, the Broad Institute, and the National Institute of Genomic Medicine in Mexico city. The goal of the SIGMA project is to characterize the genomic basis of common diseases, including several types of cancer. This effort has focused on the application of whole genome and whole exome sequencing of human tumors. In the case of breast cancer, we have analyzed the whole genomes of 22 tumor/normal tissue pairs and the whole exomes of 103 tumor/normal tissues from Mexican and Vietnamese patients. Sequence analysis led to the novel identification of potential loss of function mutations of the CBFB transcription factor, and deletions of its partner RUNX1, an event which has never been previously reported in breast tumors or in any other epithelial tumor. Of clinical relevance, we also identified a somatic translocation involving MAGI3 and AKT3 in a triple negative breast tumor. Ectopic expression of the fusion transcrip leads to constitutive phosphorylation of downstream GSK and loss of contact inhibition. Most importantly, the activity of the fusion protein can be abrogated by an ATP-competitive small molecule inhibitor of AKT, potentially representing a new therapeutic avenue for these patients. In parallel with sequencing, we have also been working on the analysis of somatic DNA copy number aberrations, messenger RNA expression, and microRNA expression patterns in tumors from Mexican patients. Intrinsic breast cancer sub-typing in 125 tumors from Mexican patients showed that 13.6% of the tumors were basal-like, 16.8% were Her2-enriched, 24.8% Luminal A, 34.4% Luminal B and 10.4 normal-like. With microRNA expression, we have identified a group of microRNAs whose role in breast cancer has not been previously described and are currently analyzing differential microRNA expression across tumor sub-types, in particular triple negative tumors, where we have been able to identify at least three different tumor sub-groups based on microRNA expression patterns.

Abstract
Breast carcinoma is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women worldwide, with an estimated 1.38 million new cases and 458,000 deaths in 2008 alone. This malignancy represents a heterogeneous group of tumours with characteristic molecular features, prognosis and responses to available therapy. Recurrent somatic alterations in breast cancer have been described, including mutations and copy number alterations, notably ERBB2 amplifications, the first successful therapy target defined by a genomic aberration. Previous DNA sequencing studies of breast cancer genomes have revealed additional candidate mutations and gene rearrangements. Here we report the whole-exome sequences of DNA from 103 human breast cancers of diverse subtypes from patients in Mexico and Vietnam compared to matched-normal DNA, together with whole-genome sequences of 22 breast cancer/normal pairs. Beyond confirming recurrent somatic mutations in PIK3CA, TP53, AKT1, GATA3 and MAP3K1, we discovered recurrent mutations in the CBFB transcription factor gene and deletions of its partner RUNX1. Furthermore, we have identified a recurrent MAGI3-AKT3 fusion enriched in triple-negative breast cancer lacking oestrogen and progesterone receptors and ERBB2 expression. The MAGI3-AKT3 fusion leads to constitutive activation of AKT kinase, which is abolished by treatment with an ATP-competitive AKT small-molecule inhibitor.

Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in cellular migration, proliferation, and differentiation in many tissues. Benign hamartomas develop in multiple organs, believed to be caused by somatic mutation in addition to germ line mutation to cause loss of both alleles of either the TSC1 or TSC2 tumor suppressor gene, with resultant dysregulated growth due to loss of hamartin or tuberin function, respectively. This study focuses on detecting spontaneous lesions in a knockout mouse model of TSC2 by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and exploring the efficiency of introducing gene products into lesions, using transduced endothelial cells as gene vehicles. MRI was shown to be effective in detecting spontaneous lesions in multiple tissues as a means of assessing the prevalence of tumors. Tsc(2+/) heterozygous mice were screened at 12-24 months of age. MRI detected 100% of the renal lesions (cystadenomas, renal cell carcinomas) and 75% of the hepatic lesions (hemangiosarcomas), later identified by histology. Cell-mediated gene delivery was evaluated by immunohistochemical analysis of renal, hepatic, and lung lesions after intravenous delivery of MS1 mouse endothelial cells, transduced to express an enhanced form of green fluorescent protein (EGFP). Preliminary immunohistochemical analysis, using a polyclonal antibody to EGFP and a horseradish peroxidase-diaminobenzidine detection system, revealed these cells throughout liver, kidney, and lung sections from injected animals, organs that are frequently affected in TSC2 patients, as well as within the lesions themselves.

Abstract
It has been suggested that germline stem cells maintain oogenesis in postnatal mouse ovaries. Here we show that adult mouse ovaries rapidly generate hundreds of oocytes, despite a small premeiotic germ cell pool. In considering the possibility of an extragonadal source of germ cells, we show expression of germline markers in bone marrow (BM). Further, BM transplantation restores oocyte production in wild-type mice sterilized by chemotherapy, as well as in ataxia telangiectasia-mutated gene-deficient mice, which are otherwise incapable of making oocytes. Donor-derived oocytes are also observed in female mice following peripheral blood transplantation. Although the fertilizability and developmental competency of the BM and peripheral blood-derived oocytes remain to be established, their morphology, enclosure within follicles, and expression of germ-cell- and oocyte-specific markers collectively support that these cells are bona fide oocytes. These results identify BM as a potential source of germ cells that could sustain oocyte production in adulthood.

Abstract
Here we describe a novel method for imaging apoptosis in cells using a near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) probe selective for caspase-1 (interleukin 1beta-converting enzyme, ICE). This biocompatible, optically quenched ICE-NIRF probe incorporates a peptide substrate, which can be selectively cleaved by caspase-1, resulting in the release of fluorescence signal. The specificity of this probe for caspase-1 is supported by various lines of evidence: 1) activation by purified caspase-1, but not another caspase in vitro; 2) activation of the probe by infection of cells with a herpes simplex virus amplicon vector (HGC-ICE-lacZ) expressing a catalytically active caspase-1-lacZ fusion protein; 3) inhibition of HGC-ICE-lacZ vector-induced activation of the probe by coincubation with the caspase-1 inhibitor YVAD-cmk, but not with a caspase-3 inhibitor; and 4) activation of the probe following standard methods of inducing apoptosis with staurosporine, ganciclovir, or ionizing radiation in culture. These results indicate that this novel ICE-NIRF probe can be used in monitoring endogenous and vector-expressed caspase-1 activity in cells. Furthermore, tumor implant experiments indicate that this ICE-NIRF probe can be used to detect caspase-1 activity in living animals. This novel ICE-NIRF probe should prove useful in monitoring endogenous and vector-expressed caspase-1 activity, and potentially apoptosis in cell culture and in vivo.

Abstract
Abstract
Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a human autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM). A-T is characterized by progressive cerebellar degeneration, variable immunodeficiency, and a high incidence of leukemia and lymphoma. Recurrent sino-pulmonary infections secondary to immunodeficiency and hematopoietic malignancies are major causes of morbidity and mortality in A-T patients. In mice, an introduced mutation in Atm leads to a phenotype that recapitulates many of the symptoms of A-T, including immune system abnormalities and susceptibility to malignancy. Here we show that the replacement of the bone marrow compartment in Atm knockout mice (Atm-/-) using a clinically relevant, nonmyeloablative host-conditioning regimen can be used to overcome the immune deficiencies and prevent the malignancies observed in these mice. Therefore, bone marrow transplantation may prove to be of therapeutic benefit in A-T patients. (Blood. 2004;104:572-578)
