View SamplesBreast carcinoma (BC) have been extensively profiled by high-throughput technologies for over a decade, and broadly speaking, these studies can be grouped into those that seek to identify patient subtypes (studies of heterogeneity) or those that seek to identify gene signatures with prognostic or predictive capacity. The shear number of reported signatures has led to speculation that everything is prognostic in BC. Here we show that this ubiquity is an apparition caused by a poor understanding of the inter- relatedness between subtype and the molecular determinants of prognosis. Our approach constructively shows how to avoid confounding due to a patient's subtype, clinicopathological or treatment profile. The approach identifies patients who are predicted to have good outcome at time of diagnosis by all available clinical and molecular markers, but who experience a distant metastasis within five years. These inherently difficult patients (~7% of BC) are prioritized for investigations of intra-tumoral heterogeneity.

View SamplesThe motor neurons innervating the muscles of facial expression are organized into somatotopic hindbrain clusters termed subnuclei. Each of the medial, intermediate, dorsolateral, and lateral subnuclei gives rise to a specific branch of the facial motor nerve (cranial nerve VII). How subnucleus-specific gene expression could mediate the accurate development of facial nerve projections was not well understood.

View SamplesRenal cell carcinoma (RCC) is among the ten most common malignancies. By far, the most common histology is clear cell (ccRCC). The Cancer Genome Atlas and other large scale sequencing studies of ccRCC have been integral to the current understanding of molecular events underlying RCC and its biology. However, these data sets have focused on primary RCC which often demonstrates indolent behavior. In contrast, metastatic disease is the major cause of mortality associated with ccRCC. However, data sets examining metastatic tumor are sparse. We therefore undertook an integrative analysis of gene expression and DNA methylome profiling of metastatic ccRCC in addition to primary RCC and normal kidney. Integrative analysis of the methylome and transcriptome identified over 30 RCC specific genes whose mRNA expression inversely correlated with promoter methylation including several known targets of hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs). Notably, genes encoding several metabolism-related proteins were identified as differentially regulated via methylation. Collectively, our data provide novel insight into biology of aggressive RCC. Furthermore, they demonstrate a clear role for epigenetics in the promotion of HIF signaling and invasive phenotypes in renal cancer.
