Abstract Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic kidney disorder. Half of the patients would slowly progress to end-stage renal disease. However, the potential target for ADPKD treatment is still lacking. Methods Four ADPKD patients and two healthy family members were included in this study. The peripheral blood samples were obtained and tested by the whole exome sequencing (WES). The autosomal mutations in ADPKD patients were retained as candidate sites. The Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment, and protein–protein interaction network (PPI) analyses were performed by clusterProfiler R package. A dataset containing 18 ADPKD patients and three normal samples were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and analyzed using the limma R package. Results A total of six mutant genes were identified based on the dominant genetic pattern and most of them had not been reported to be associated with ADPKD. Furthermore, 19 harmful genes were selected according to the harmfulness of mutation. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that the processes of single-organism cellular process, response to stimulus, plasma membrane, cell periphery, and anion binding as well as cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway and pathways in cancer were significantly enriched. Through integrating PPI and gene expression analyses, acyl-CoA thioesterase 13 (ACOT13), which has not been reported to be related to ADPKD, and prostaglandin E receptor 2 (PTGER2) were identified as potential genes associated with ADPKD. Conclusions Through combination of WES, gene expression, and PPI network analyses, we identified ACOT13 and PTGER2 as potential ADPKD-related genes.

57 Background: Neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) in the stomach is a rare disease with the incidence of about 0.6 % of all gastric cancer and is well known as a highly malignant tumor with poor survival. Despite the malignant phenotype of this disease, the global gene expression profiling of gastric NEC has not yet been elucidated. We have started a comprehensive molecular profiling project that analyzes genome and transcriptome of tumor obtained from cancer patients admitted to Shizuoka Cancer Center from January 2014, setting a goal to get 3,000 samples in 3 years. We had already evaluated more than 1,500 samples from various types of malignancies, including 111 samples from gastric cancer. Here, we performed deep sequencing of 409 cancer-related genes for gastric NEC patients, adding whole-exome sequencing and gene expression profiling, to identify a gene variant of gastric NEC. Methods: Surgically-resected fresh tumor samples and peripheral blood were analyzed by whole-exome sequencing (Ion Proton, Life Technologies) and gene expression profiling (DNA microarray, Agilent Technologies). A total of 111 patients with gastric cancer were evaluated until August 2015, including 6 gastric NEC (5.4 %). We compared single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and gene expression profiles between gastric NEC and gastric adenocarcinoma. Results: All the gastric NEC patients were male with median age of 69 years (59–79 years). According to classification of TNM 7th, there were two patients with stage IA, one with IIA, one with IIIB and two with IIIC. Three of them had adenocarcinoma components constituted > 30% of the respective tumors, fulfilling the criteria for mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC), as defined by the WHO classification. There was no specific SNV for NEC. However, gene expression profiling identified several specific genes expressing in NEC; most of the highly expressed genes were also known to be expressed in neuroendocrine cells. Furthermore, CPLX2 and SCG3, which had been reported to be expressed in various neuroendocrine tumors, were included. Conclusions: Gastric NEC could be characterized by specific gene expression including those expressed in neuroendocrine cells and neuroendocrine tumors.

Abstract Purpose: Next-generation sequencing methods recently have been applied for leukemia patients to discover genetic variants. In this study, we conducted whole-exome sequencing (WES) in Korean acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) children to identify putative genetic drivers of leukemia. Methods: Four Korean ALL children were included for WES. For two of them, we also conducted WES after remission, considered as germline control. The characteristics of subjects and the diagnostic information are described in Table 1. Genomic DNA was extracted from the subject¡¯s bone marrow aspirates at diagnosis of leukemia and/or after remission. Whole-exome was captured by SureSelect Human All Exon V4 (Agilent Technologies, California, USA). Sequencing was performed using HiSeq2000 (Illumina, California, USA). Variants in dbSNP135 and TIARA database were excluded. Variants with minor allele frequencies > 0.5% of 1000g were filtered out. Functional variants (gain of stop codon, frameshifts and nonsynonymous SNVs) were selected as pathogenic mutations and were scanned for the 571 cancer gene set using ¡°Cancer gene Census¡± in COSMIC website. The finally selected variants were verified by PROVEAN, SIFT and PolyPhen-2. This research was approved by The Institutional Review Board in Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center (Approval No., 2015-05-029-002). Results: After comparison between WES at diagnosis and WES after remission, p.W112C in PAX5 in patient 1 andp.G315C in KMT2C, p.T311P in NOTCH1, p.G11A in HOXD13 in patient 2 were considered as pathogenic, respectively. In patient 3 and 4, p.R293C in FNBP1, p.R254H in PCSK7, p.E11Q in TP53, p.R806Q in MYO5A, p.R108G in PPFIBP1, p.C1785R in RNF213, and p.A963P in WRN were suspected as putative drivers of leukemia. The respective variants are shown in Table 2. Conclusions: This is the first attempt of WES in Korean children with leukemia. WES is a valuable method to identify genomics of childhood ALL. Table 1.
