Abstract
BACKGROUND Genomic fusions are potent oncogenic drivers across cancer types and many are targetable. We demonstrate the clinical performance of DNA-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) for detecting targetable fusions. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed targetable fusion genes in >450 000 tissue specimens profiled using DNA CGP (FoundationOne CDx, FoundationOne). Using a de-identified nationwide (US-based) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) clinico-genomic database, we assessed outcomes in patients with nonsquamous NSCLC (NonSqNSCLC) who received matched therapy based on a fusion identified using DNA CGP. Lastly, we modeled the added value of RNA CGP for fusion detection in NonSqNSCLC. RESULTS We observed a broad diversity of fusion partners detected with DNA CGP in conjunction with targetable fusion genes (ALK, BRAF, FGFR2, FGFR3, NTRK1/2/3, RET, and ROS1). In NonSqNSCLC with oncogenic ALK, NTRK, RET, and ROS1 fusions detected by DNA CGP, patients treated with a matched tyrosine kinase inhibitor had better real-world progression-free survival than those receiving alternative treatment regimens and benefit was observed regardless of the results of orthogonal fusion testing. An estimated 1.3% of patients with NonSqNSCLC were predicted to have an oncogenic driver fusion identified by RNA, but not DNA CGP, according to a model that accounts for multiple real-world factors. CONCLUSION A well-designed DNA CGP assay is capable of robust fusion detection and these fusion calls are reliable for informing clinical decision-making. While DNA CGP detects most driver fusions, the clinical impact of fusion detection is substantial for individual patients and exhaustive efforts, inclusive of additional RNA-based testing, should be considered when an oncogenic driver is not clearly identified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in the p110α catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), encoded by the PIK3CA gene, cause dysregulation of the PI3K pathway in 35-40% of patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer. Preclinically, cancer cells harboring double or multiple PIK3CA mutations (mut) elicit hyperactivation of the PI3K pathway leading to enhanced sensitivity to p110α inhibitors. METHODS To understand the role of multiple PIK3CAmut in predicting response to p110α inhibition, we estimated the clonality of multiple PIK3CAmut in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer enrolled to a prospectively registered clinical trial of fulvestrant ± taselisib, and analyzed the subgroups against co-altered genes, pathways, and outcomes. RESULTS ctDNA samples with clonal multiple PIK3CAmut had fewer co-alterations in receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) or non-PIK3CA PI3K pathway genes compared to samples with subclonal multiple PIK3CAmut indicating a strong reliance on the PI3K pathway. This was validated in an independent cohort of breast cancer tumor specimens that underwent comprehensive genomic profiling. Furthermore, patients whose ctDNA harbored clonal multiple PIK3CAmut exhibited a significantly higher response rate and longer progression-free survival vs subclonal multiple PIK3CAmut. CONCLUSIONS Our study establishes clonal multiple PIK3CAmut as an important molecular determinant of response to p110α inhibition and provides rationale for further clinical investigation of p110α inhibitors alone or with rationally-selected therapies in breast cancer and potentially other solid tumor types.

Abstract
There are more than 70 distinct sarcomas, and this diversity complicates the development of precision-based therapeutics for these cancers. Prospective comprehensive genomic profiling could overcome this challenge by providing insight into sarcomas' molecular drivers. Through targeted panel sequencing of 7494 sarcomas representing 44 histologies, we identify highly recurrent and type-specific alterations that aid in diagnosis and treatment decisions. Sequencing could lead to refinement or reassignment of 10.5% of diagnoses. Nearly one-third of patients (31.7%) harbor potentially actionable alterations, including a significant proportion (2.6%) with kinase gene rearrangements; 3.9% have a tumor mutational burden ≥10 mut/Mb. We describe low frequencies of microsatellite instability (<0.3%) and a high degree of genome-wide loss of heterozygosity (15%) across sarcomas, which are not readily explained by homologous recombination deficiency (observed in 2.5% of cases). In a clinically annotated subset of 118 patients, we validate actionable genetic events as therapeutic targets. Collectively, our findings reveal the genetic landscape of human sarcomas, which may inform future development of therapeutics and improve clinical outcomes for patients with these rare cancers.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the overlap of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) status, and to dissect driver versus bystander status of BRCA1/2 mutations (BRCAm) in this context. METHODS A pan-cancer comprehensive genomic profiling cohort (n = 213,199) was examined for overlap between BRCAm and MSI-H status. BRCA1/2 variant zygosity was examined and correlated with MSI-H status, tumor mutational burden, and genome-wide loss of heterozygosity (gLOH). Clinical histories of two patients with prostate cancer with co-occurring BRCAm and MSI-H are described. RESULTS HRD and MSI-H phenotypes were generally mutually exclusive events (P < .001). BRCAm that co-occurred together with high tumor mutational burden or MSI-H were predominantly monoallelic bystander alterations. In breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers, very few BRCAm occurred in the context of MSI-H; however, in prostate cancer, 12.8% of BRCA1 and 3.4% of BRCA2 alterations co-occurred with MSI-H. In these BRCA-associated cancers, co-occurring BRCAm were generally monoallelic and were not associated with elevated gLOH. Two patients with prostate cancer with co-occurring BRCAm and MSI-H showed resistance to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibition but sensitivity to subsequent anti–programmed cell death protein 1 therapy. CONCLUSION MSI-H status and HRD are generally mutually exclusive phenomena across cancer types, but may rarely co-occur, especially in prostate cancer. Although MSI-H samples had a higher BRCAm prevalence relative to microsatellite-stable tumors, these BRCA1/2 mutations were generally monoallelic and were not associated with elevated gLOH. Our findings suggest that most BRCAm coexisting with microsatellite instability are likely bystander events that may not result in sensitivity to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors. ![]()

Abstract
NUT carcinoma is a rare but aggressive solid tumor that can be diagnosed by presence of the BRD4-NUT fusion. This series presents 31 cases of solid tumors that harbor BRD4-NUT but often carry other diagnoses such NSCLC—NOS and NSCLC-SCC. Despite lack of PD-L1 expression and a low tumor mutational burden, two index cases responded to either nivolumab or atezolizumab+chemotherapy with partial response or better with 4–5 month duration of response. The unexpected response to checkpoint inhibitors could be explained by a very high affinity of the fusion peptide at the junction of BRD4 and NUT to the MHC complex as recently suggested for an exceptional response to an immune checkpoint inhibitor in a fusion bearing low TMB, low PD-L1 expression head and neck carcinoma.
Background The translocation t(15:19) produces the oncogenic BRD4-NUT fusion which is pathognomonic for NUT carcinoma (NC), which is a rare, but extremely aggressive solid tumor. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) by hybrid-capture based next generation sequencing of 186+ genes of a cohort of advanced cancer cases with a variety of initial diagnoses harboring BRD4-NUT may shed further insight into the biology of these tumors and possible options for targeted treatment. Case presentation Thirty-one solid tumor cases harboring a BRD4-NUT translocation are described, with only 16% initially diagnosed as NC and the remainder carrying other diagnoses, most commonly NSCLC—NOS (22%) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (NSCLC-SCC) (16%). The cohort was all microsatellite stable and harbored a low Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB, mean 1.7 mut/mb, range 0–4). In two index cases, patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPI) had unexpected partial or better responses of varying duration. Notably, four cases – including the two index cases - were negative for PD-L1 expression. Neo-antigen prediction for BRD4-NUT and then affinity modeling of the peptide-MHC (pMHC) complex for an assessable index case predicted very high affinity binding, both on a ranked (99.9%) and absolute (33 nM) basis. Conclusions CGP identifies BRD4-NUT fusions in advanced solid tumors which carry a broad range of initial diagnoses and which should be re-diagnosed as NC per guidelines. A hypothesized mechanism underlying responses to ICPI in the low TMB, PD-L1 negative index cases is the predicted high affinity of the BRD4-NUT fusion peptide to MHC complexes. Further study of pMHC affinity and response to immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with NC harboring BRD4-NUT is needed to validate this therapeutic hypothesis.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine cell of origin (COO) from a platform using a DNA-based method, COO DNA classifier (COODC). A targeted exome-sequencing platform that applies the mutational profile of a sample was used to classify COO subtype. Two major mutational signatures associated with COO were identified: Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC) signature 23 enriched in activated B-cell (ABC) and COSMIC signature 3, which suggested increased frequency in germinal center B-cell (GCB). Differential mutation signatures linked oncogenesis to mutational processes during B-cell activation, confirming the putative origin of GCB and ABC subtypes. Integrating COO with comprehensive genomic profiling enabled identification of features associated with COO and demonstrated the feasibility of determining COO without RNA.

Abstract
Genomic studies performed in cancer patients and tumor-derived cell lines have identified a high frequency of alterations in components of the mammalian switch/sucrose non-fermentable (mSWI/SNF or BAF) chromatin remodeling complex, including its core catalytic subunit, SMARCA4. Cells exhibiting loss of SMARCA4 rely on its paralog, SMARCA2, making SMARCA2 an attractive therapeutic target. Here we report the genomic profiling of solid tumors from 131,668 cancer patients, identifying 9434 patients with one or more SMARCA4 gene alterations. Homozygous SMARCA4 mutations were highly prevalent in certain tumor types, notably non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and associated with reduced survival. The large sample size revealed previously uncharacterized hotspot missense mutations within the SMARCA4 helicase domain. Functional characterization of these mutations demonstrated markedly reduced remodeling activity. Surprisingly, a few SMARCA4 missense variants partially or fully rescued paralog dependency, underscoring that careful selection criteria must be employed to identify patients with inactivating, homozygous SMARCA4 missense mutations who may benefit from SMARCA2-targeted therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Genomic instability refers to the tendency to accumulate genomic alterations. MSI-High (MSI-H) tumors are characterized by a mismatch repair deficiency triggering hypermutation, whereas HRD tumors display genomic lesions that result in genomic loss of heterozygosity (gLOH). These mechanistic differences have critical implications for treatment strategies, where immune checkpoint blockade is often efficacious in MSI-H tumors and PARP inhibition is linked to response in HRD tumors. We investigated the patterns of co-occurrence or mutual exclusivity between these two mechanisms of genomic instability.
Methods: Comprehensive genomic profiling was performed on >130K tumors to coding exons and select introns of up to 465 genes. MSI was determined on up to 114 loci and high gLOH (≥14%) was used as a surrogate of HRD (PMID: 27908594).
Results: In this cohort, HRD was most prevalent in triple-negative breast and fallopian tube cancers and absent in cancers such as skin neuroendocrine cancers. HRD was strongly associated with biallelic loss of homologous recombination (HR) pathway genes and not monoallelic loss of these genes. High MSI was most frequently found in endometrial and small intestine cancers, and absent in cancers such as fallopian tube cancers and GIST. MSI-H tumors and HRD tumors were mutually exclusive (6.5% of MSI-H tumors were HRD vs 25.7% of tumors that were not MSI-H; OR = 5.0; p<1e-108).
Conclusions: We show that high MSI and HRD events are mutually exclusive across tumor types, suggesting that co-occurrence of these genomic instability mechanisms may be evolutionarily disadvantageous. High gLOH is associated with biallelic loss of HR pathway genes, supporting its use as a surrogate for HRD.

Abstract
Abstract
Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) provides an opportunity to noninvasively monitor a patient’s tumor burden via liquid biopsy. Liquid biopsies can assess a patient’s mutational landscape through time and provide information on treatment response and relapse. It has become increasingly common to have paired genomic data analysis between liquid and tissue biopsies from the same patient. However, the impact of clinical, temporal, and biologic factors on percentage of positive agreement (PPA) of variant detection between these biopsies is unclear. For our study, we leveraged two databases containing CGP data from paired liquid and tissue biopsy specimens tested by Foundation Medicine (FMI): the FMI database (>1700 paired samples) and the Flatiron Health-Foundation Medicine Clinico-Genomic Database (CGDB). The CGDB is a subset of the FMI database linked with the Flatiron Health nationwide de-identified EHR-derived database, which includes demographic, treatment, and clinical outcomes information (>500 paired samples). We report pan-solid tumor and per-indication prevalence and PPA for variants commonly assayed in both liquid and tissue tests. We found that PPA depended on the tumor DNA concentration in plasma and tissue biopsies, as well as the amount of time between tests. We also investigated the effect of treatments administered in the time between liquid and tissue tests on the detected variants and observed some well-described resistance alterations at a higher frequency in liquid samples, including a higher prevalence of ESR1 point mutations in breast cancer, more EGFR T790M alterations in lung cancer, and frequent KRAS Q61H alterations in colorectal cancer. Liquid biopsies can also contain DNA shed from multiple metastatic sites. We observed evidence of this in the form of polyclonal resistance alterations, which may also account for differences in PPA over time. Our findings indicate that while PPA is generally high between samples, it may be influenced by factors such as intervening therapies, resistance, therapy efficacy, and polyclonality of liquid samples.

Abstract
11541 Background: We performed CGP on 315 cases of RS to discover targetable genomic alterations (GA) and their potential impact on potential targeted and immunotherapy (IO) selection. Methods: FFPE tissues from 315 clinically advanced RS tissues underwent hybrid-capture based CGP (DNA and RNA). Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined on up to 1.2 Mbp of sequenced DNA, and tumor cell PD-L1 expression was determined by IHC (Dako 22C3) (low = 1-49%; High = >50% tumor cell staining). Results: 155 liposarcomas (LPS), 74 leiomyosarcomas (LMS), 46 pleomorphic sarcomas (PLS), 7 solitary fibrous tumors (SFT), 6 malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST), 5 synovial sarcomas (SS) and 5 dendritic follicular cell sarcomas (DFCS) were studied; 17 cases were excluded. Median age was 59. There were 5.1 GA/tumor, none were MSI-high, median TMB was low at 2.4; PD-L1 IHC staining was low-positive in 21% and high-positive in 5%. MPNST patients were younger (median 28 years vs. 59 years). LPS was more frequent in men and LMS in women. LPS had more GA/tumor than LMS, with DFCS having the highest and SS the lowest. TP53 and RB1 GA were the highest in LMS and CDK4/6 and MDM2 GA the highest in LPS. Molecular targets in mTOR pathway were most frequently altered. Targetable gene fusions in ALK, ROS1 and NTRK1-3 were rare. Non-targetable fusions in HMGA2 (LPS and some PLS), STAT6 (SFT) and SS18 (SS) were also identified. Conclusions: RS in our cohort are predominantly composed of LPS, LMS and PLS and we identified a small proportion with “actionable” genomic targets on CGP, albeit in association with uncertain mTOR pathway inhibitor benefit and uncommon targetable kinase fusions. Our analysis suggests that a small subset of RS may respond to immunotherapy based on putative biomarker expression. [Table: see text]

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women, but the genomics of metastasis in breast cancer are poorly studied. METHODS We explored a set of 11,616 breast tumors, including 5,034 metastases, which had undergone targeted sequencing during standard clinical care. RESULTS Besides the known hotspot mutations in ESR1, we observed a metastatic enrichment of previously unreported, lower-prevalence mutations in the ligand-binding domain, implying that these mutations may also be functional. Furthermore, individual ESR1 hotspots are significantly enriched in specific metastatic tissues and histologies, suggesting functional differences between these mutations. Other alterations enriched across all metastases include loss of function of the CDK4 regulator CDKN1B, and mutations in the transcription factor CTCF. Mutations enriched at specific metastatic sites generally reflect biology of the target tissue and may be adaptations to growth in the local environment. These include PTEN and ASXL1 alterations in brain metastases and NOTCH1 alterations in skin. We observed an enrichment of KRAS, KEAP1, STK11 and EGFR mutations in lung metastases. However, the patterns of other mutations in these tumors indicate that these are misdiagnosed lung primaries rather than breast metastases. CONCLUSIONS An order-of-magnitude increase in samples relative to previous studies allowed us to detect novel genomic characteristics of metastatic cancer and to expand and clarify previous findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE Amplifications of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKS) are therapeutic targets in multiple tumor types (e.g. HER2 in breast cancer), and amplification of the chromosome 4 segment harboring the three RTKs KIT, PDGFRA, and KDR (4q12amp) may be similarly targetable. The presence of 4q12amp has been sporadically reported in small tumor specific series but a large-scale analysis is lacking. We assess the pan-cancer landscape of 4q12amp and provide early clinical support for the feasibility of targeting this amplicon. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Tumor specimens from 132,872 patients with advanced cancer were assayed with hybrid capture based comprehensive genomic profiling which assays 186-315 genes for all classes of genomic alterations, including amplifications. Baseline demographic data were abstracted, and presence of 4q12amp was defined as 6 or more copies of KIT/KDR/PDGFRA. Concurrent alterations and treatment outcomes with matched therapies were explored in a subset of cases. RESULTS Overall 0.65% of cases harbored 4q12amp at a median copy number of 10 (range 6-344). Among cancers with >100 cases in this series, glioblastomas, angiosarcomas, and osteosarcomas were enriched for 4q12amp at 4.7%, 4.8%, and 6.4%, respectively (all p < 0.001), giving an overall sarcoma (n = 6,885) incidence of 1.9%. Among 99 pulmonary adenocarcinoma cases harboring 4q12amp, 50 (50%) lacked any other known driver of NSLCC. Four index cases plus a previously reported case on treatment with empirical TKIs monotherapy had stable disease on average exceeding 20 months. CONCLUSION We define 4q12amp as a significant event across the pan-cancer landscape, comparable to known pan-cancer targets such as NTRK and microsatellite instability, with notable enrichment in several cancers such as osteosarcoma where standard treatment is limited. The responses to available TKIs observed in index cases strongly suggest 4q12amp is a druggable oncogenic target across cancers that warrants a focused drug development strategy. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Coamplification of the receptor tyrosine kinases (rtks) KIT/KDR/PDGFRA (4q12amp) is present broadly across cancers (0.65%), with enrichment in osteosarcoma and gliomas. Evidence for this amplicon having an oncogenic role is the mutual exclusivity of 4q12amp to other known drivers in 50% of pulmonary adenocarcinoma cases. Furthermore, preliminary clinical evidence for driver status comes from four index cases of patients empirically treated with commercially available tyrosine kinase inhibitors with activity against KIT/KDR/PDGFRA who had stable disease for 20 months on average. The sum of these lines of evidence suggests further clinical and preclinical investigation of 4q12amp is warranted as the possible basis for a pan-cancer drug development strategy.

Abstract
Background Estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) metastatic breast cancer is often intractable due to endocrine therapy resistance. Although ESR1 promoter switching events have been associated with endocrine-therapy resistance, recurrent ESR1 fusion proteins have yet to be identified in advanced breast cancer. Patients and methods To identify genomic structural rearrangements (REs) including gene fusions in acquired resistance, we undertook a multimodal sequencing effort in three breast cancer patient cohorts: (i) mate-pair and/or RNAseq in 6 patient-matched primary-metastatic tumors and 51 metastases, (ii) high coverage (>500×) comprehensive genomic profiling of 287-395 cancer-related genes across 9542 solid tumors (5216 from metastatic disease), and (iii) ultra-high coverage (>5000×) genomic profiling of 62 cancer-related genes in 254 ctDNA samples. In addition to traditional gene fusion detection methods (i.e. discordant reads, split reads), ESR1 REs were detected from targeted sequencing data by applying a novel algorithm (copyshift) that identifies major copy number shifts at rearrangement hotspots. Results We identify 88 ESR1 REs across 83 unique patients with direct confirmation of 9 ESR1 fusion proteins (including 2 via immunoblot). ESR1 REs are highly enriched in ER-positive, metastatic disease and co-occur with known ESR1 missense alterations, suggestive of polyclonal resistance. Importantly, all fusions result from a breakpoint in or near ESR1 intron 6 and therefore lack an intact ligand binding domain (LBD). In vitro characterization of three fusions reveals ligand-independence and hyperactivity dependent upon the 3' partner gene. Our lower-bound estimate of ESR1 fusions is at least 1% of metastatic solid breast cancers, the prevalence in ctDNA is at least 10× enriched. We postulate this enrichment may represent secondary resistance to more aggressive endocrine therapies applied to patients with ESR1 LBD missense alterations. Conclusions Collectively, these data indicate that N-terminal ESR1 fusions involving exons 6-7 are a recurrent driver of endocrine therapy resistance and are impervious to ER-targeted therapies.

Abstract
Background Sarcomas are a rare, heterogeneous group of tumors with variable tendencies for aggressive behavior. Molecular markers for prognosis are needed to risk stratify patients and identify those who might benefit from more intensive therapeutic strategies. Patients and methods We analyzed somatic tumor genomic profiles and clinical outcomes of 152 soft tissue (STS) and bone sarcoma (BS) patients sequenced at Stanford Cancer Institute as well as 206 STS patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Genomic profiles of 7733 STS from the Foundation Medicine database were used to assess the frequency of CDKN2A alterations in histological subtypes of sarcoma. Results Compared to all other tumor types, sarcomas were found to carry the highest relative percentage of gene amplifications/deletions/fusions and the lowest average mutation count. The most commonly altered genes in STS were TP53 (47%), CDKN2A (22%), RB1 (22%), NF1 (11%), and ATRX (11%). When all genomic alterations were tested for prognostic significance in the specific Stanford cohort of localized STS, only CDKN2A alterations correlated significantly with prognosis, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 2.83 for overall survival (p = 0.017). These findings were validated in the TCGA dataset where CDKN2A altered patients had significantly worse overall survival with a HR of 2.7 (p = 0.002). Analysis of 7733 STS patients from Foundation One showed high prevalence of CDKN2A alterations in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, myxofibrosarcomas, and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas. Conclusion Our clinico-genomic profiling of STS shows that CDKN2A deletion was the most prevalent DNA copy number aberration and was associated with poor prognosis.

Abstract
Microsatellite instability (MSI) is an important biomarker for predicting response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, as emphasized by the recent checkpoint inhibitor approval for MSI-high (MSI-H) solid tumors. Herein, we describe and validate a novel method for determining MSI status from a next-generation sequencing comprehensive genomic profiling assay using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples. This method is 97% (65/67) concordant with current standards, PCR and immunohistochemistry. We further apply this method to >67,000 patient tumor samples to identify genes and pathways that are enriched in MSI-stable or MSI-H tumor groups. Data show that although rare in tumors other than colorectal and endometrial carcinomas, MSI-H samples are present in many tumor types. Furthermore, the large sample set revealed that MSI-H tumors selectively share alterations in genes across multiple common pathways, including WNT, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and NOTCH. Last, MSI is sufficient, but not necessary, for a tumor to have elevated tumor mutation burden. Therefore, MSI can be determined from comprehensive genomic profiling with high accuracy, allowing for efficient MSI-H detection across all tumor types, especially those in which routine use of immunohistochemistry or PCR-based assays would be impractical because of a rare incidence of MSI. MSI-H tumors are enriched in alterations in specific signaling pathways, providing a rationale for investigating directed immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies in combination with pathway-targeted therapies.

Abstract
Deregulated HER2 is a target of many approved cancer drugs. We analyzed 111,176 patient tumors and identified recurrent mutations in HER2 transmembrane domain (TMD) and juxtamembrane domain (JMD) that include G660D, R678Q, E693K, and Q709L. Using a saturation mutagenesis screen and testing of patient-derived mutations we found several activating TMD and JMD mutations. Structural modeling and analysis showed that the TMD/JMD mutations function by improving the active dimer interface or stabilizing an activating conformation. Further, we found that HER2 G660D employed asymmetric kinase dimerization for activation and signaling. Importantly, anti-HER2 antibodies and small-molecule kinase inhibitors blocked the activity of TMD/JMD mutants. Consistent with this, a G660D germline mutant lung cancer patient showed remarkable clinical response to HER2 blockade.

Abstract
Abstract
The germinal center (GC) reaction produces high-affinity antibodies for a robust adaptive immune response. If dysregulated, the same processes cause GC B cells to become susceptible to lymphomagenesis. It is important to understand how the GC reaction is regulated. In this study, we show that transcription factor YY1 is required to maintain a robust GC reaction in mice. Selective ablation of YY1 significantly decreased in the frequency and number of GC B cells during the GC reaction. This decrease of GC B cells was accompanied by increased apoptosis in these cells. Further, we found that loss of YY1 disrupted the balance between dark zones and light zones, leading to a preferential decrease in dark zone cells. Collectively, these results indicate that YY1 plays an important role in regulating the balance between dark zone and light zone cells in GCs and between survival and death of GC B cells.

Abstract
KRAS is the most common oncogenic driver in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAC). We previously reported that STK11/LKB1 (KL) or TP53 (KP) comutations define distinct subgroups of KRAS-mutant LUAC. Here, we examine the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors in these subgroups. Objective response rates to PD-1 blockade differed significantly among KL (7.4%), KP (35.7%), and K-only (28.6%) subgroups (P < 0.001) in the Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) cohort (174 patients) with KRAS-mutant LUAC and in patients treated with nivolumab in the CheckMate-057 phase III trial (0% vs. 57.1% vs. 18.2%; P = 0.047). In the SU2C cohort, KL LUAC exhibited shorter progression-free (P < 0.001) and overall (P = 0.0015) survival compared with KRASMUT;STK11/LKB1WT LUAC. Among 924 LUACs, STK11/LKB1 alterations were the only marker significantly associated with PD-L1 negativity in TMBIntermediate/High LUAC. The impact of STK11/LKB1 alterations on clinical outcomes with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors extended to PD-L1-positive non-small cell lung cancer. In Kras-mutant murine LUAC models, Stk11/Lkb1 loss promoted PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor resistance, suggesting a causal role. Our results identify STK11/LKB1 alterations as a major driver of primary resistance to PD-1 blockade in KRAS-mutant LUAC.Significance: This work identifies STK11/LKB1 alterations as the most prevalent genomic driver of primary resistance to PD-1 axis inhibitors in KRAS-mutant lung adenocarcinoma. Genomic profiling may enhance the predictive utility of PD-L1 expression and tumor mutation burden and facilitate establishment of personalized combination immunotherapy approaches for genomically defined LUAC subsets.

Abstract
Purpose Dabrafenib and trametinib are approved for the management of advanced non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) that harbor BRAF V600E mutations. Small series and pan-cancer analyses have identified non-V600 alterations as therapeutic targets. We sought to examine a large genomic data set to comprehensively characterize non-V600 BRAF alterations in lung cancer. Patients and Methods A total of 23,396 patients with lung cancer provided data to assay with comprehensive genomic profiling. Data were reviewed for predicted pathogenic BRAF base substitutions, short insertions and deletions, copy number changes, and rearrangements. Results Adenocarcinomas represented 65% of the occurrences; NSCLC not otherwise specified (NOS), 15%; squamous cell carcinoma, 12%; and small-cell lung carcinoma, 5%. BRAF was altered in 4.5% (1,048 of 23,396) of all tumors; 37.4% (n = 397) were BRAF V600E, 38% were BRAF non-V600E activating mutations, and 18% were BRAF inactivating. Rearrangements were observed at a frequency of 4.3% and consisted of N-terminal deletions (NTDs; 0.75%), kinase domain duplications (KDDs; 0.75%), and BRAF fusions (2.8%). The fusions involved three recurrent fusion partners: ARMC10, DOCK4, and TRIM24. BRAF V600E was associated with co-occurrence of SETD2 alterations, but other BRAF alterations were not and were instead associated with CDKN2A, TP53, and STK11 alterations (P < .05). Potential mechanisms of acquired resistance to BRAF V600E inhibition are demonstrated. Conclusion This series characterized the frequent occurrence (4.4%) of BRAF alterations in lung cancers. Recurrent BRAF alterations in NSCLC adenocarcinoma are comparable to the frequency of other NSCLC oncogenic drivers, such as ALK, and exceed that of ROS1 or RET. This work supports a broad profiling approach in lung cancers and suggests that non-V600E BRAF alterations represent a subgroup of lung cancers in which targeted therapy should be considered.

Abstract
30 Background: In May 2017, the FDA approved for the first time a cancer therapy (pembrolizumab) for use in patients based on the presence of a genomic marker (microsatellite instability, or MSI) rather than anatomical tumor type. Real-world data on the rates and clinical impact of MSI on treatment selection and response are scant, especially outside of colorectal cancer. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of all patients treated in the Flatiron Health network (>265 oncology practices across the U.S.) between January 2011 and June 2017, and who underwent FoundationOne tumor sequencing as part of routine clinical care. Tumor type was determined by pathologist review of specimens submitted to Foundation Medicine. Data on therapy use was sourced from electronic health records (EHRs). Assessment of MSI was performed from DNA sequencing across the coding regions of >300 genes. Results: Our overall cohort included n=16,020 patients. Among patients in whom MSI status could be assessed (n=12,411), 207 patients had MSI-high tumors. The observed rate of MSI-high was 1.7% across all tumor types combined; tumor-specific rates varied significantly, from 4.9% in colorectal adenocarcinoma to 0.3% in breast and non-small cell lung cancer. The rate of MSI-high was 2.4% in patients with an unknown primary based on specimen review. A total of 1,329 patients received common checkpoint inhibitors (nivolumab, pembrolizumab, atezolizumab). Among the checkpoint-inhibitor treated patients with known MSI status (n=1,175), 14 (1.2%) had MSI-high tumors, and the majority of these patients (n=8) had colorectal cancer. Conclusions: Evidence of MSI-high is rare in real world cancer care settings. Early identification of patients with this biomarker is important in order to efficiently match them to treatment. Further evaluation of the real-world effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the MSI-high population is still needed. Because most patients receiving these therapies today do not have high MSI, exploration of additional biomarkers for immunotherapy response is also critical.

Abstract
The germinal center (GC) reaction produces high-affinity Abs for a robust adaptive immune response. When dysregulated, the same processes cause GC B cells to become susceptible to lymphomagenesis. It is important to understand how the GC reaction is regulated. In this study, we show that transcription factor YY1 is required to maintain a robust GC reaction in mice. Selective ablation of YY1 significantly decreased in the frequency and number of GC B cells during the GC reaction. This decrease of GC B cells was accompanied by increased apoptosis in these cells. Furthermore, we found that loss of YY1 disrupted the balance between dark zones and light zones, leading to a preferential decrease in dark zone cells. Collectively, these results indicate that YY1 plays an important role in regulating the balance between dark zone and light zone cells in GCs and between survival and death of GC B cells.

Abstract
PURPOSE Approximately 50% of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) enter long-term remission after standard chemotherapy. Patients with DLBCL who do not respond to chemotherapy have few treatment options. There remains a critical need to identify effective and targeted therapeutics for DLBCL. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Recent studies have highlighted the incidence of increased c-MYC protein in DLBCL and the correlation between high levels of c-MYC protein and poor survival prognosis of patients with DLBCL, suggesting that c-MYC is a compelling target for DLBCL therapy. The small molecule JQ1 suppresses c-MYC expression through inhibition of the bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) family of bromodomain proteins. We investigated whether JQ1 can inhibit proliferation of DLBCL cells in culture and xenograft models in vivo. RESULTS We show that JQ1 at nanomolar concentrations efficiently inhibited proliferation of human DLBCL cells in a dose-dependent manner regardless of their molecular subtypes, suggesting a broad effect of JQ1 in DLBCL. The initial G1 arrest induced by JQ1 treatment in DLBCL cells was followed by either apoptosis or senescence. The expression of c-MYC was suppressed as a result of JQ1 treatment from the natural, chromosomally translocated, or amplified loci. Furthermore, JQ1 treatment significantly suppressed growth of DLBCL cells engrafted in mice and improved survival of engrafted mice. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate that inhibition of the BET family of bromodomain proteins by JQ1 has potential clinical use in the treatment of DLBCL.

Abstract
The age-dependent decline in the self-renewal capacity of stem cells plays a critical role in aging, but the precise mechanisms underlying this decline are not well understood. By limiting proliferative capacity, senescence is thought to play an important role in age-dependent decline of stem cell self-renewal, although direct evidence supporting this hypothesis is largely lacking. We have previously identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase Smurf2 as a critical regulator of senescence. In this study, we found that mice deficient in Smurf2 had an expanded hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) compartment in bone marrow under normal homeostatic conditions, and this expansion was associated with enhanced proliferation and reduced quiescence of HSCs. Surprisingly, increased cycling and reduced quiescence of HSCs in Smurf2-deficient mice did not lead to premature exhaustion of stem cells. Instead, HSCs in aged Smurf2-deficient mice had a significantly better repopulating capacity than aged wild-type HSCs, suggesting that decline in HSC function with age is Smurf2 dependent. Furthermore, Smurf2-deficient HSCs exhibited elevated long-term self-renewal capacity and diminished exhaustion in serial transplantation. As we found that the expression of Smurf2 was increased with age and in response to regenerative stress during serial transplantation, our findings suggest that Smurf2 plays an important role in regulating HSC self-renewal and aging.

Abstract
Aging is characterized by a progressive decline in cellular function, organismal fitness and increased risk of age-associated diseases and death. One potential cause of aging is the progressive accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria and oxidative damage with age. Considerable efforts have been made in our understanding of the role of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in aging and age-associated diseases. This chapter outlines the interplay between oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, and discusses their impact on senescence, cell death, stem cell function, age-associated diseases and longevity.
