68LH-885002-WO PATENTDETECTING HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION DEFICIENCY IN BREAST AND OVARIAN CANCERS BY GENOME MAPPINGCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Prov. App. No. 63 / 789974, filed April 16, 2025, the content of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.FIELD

[0002] Some embodiments of the methods and compositions provided herein relate to detecting a homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in a tumor sample from a subject, such as a breast or ovarian cancer tumor. Some embodiments include obtaining genome mapping (GM) data from the tumor sample, identifying structural variants (SVs) from the GM data, and determining the presence of absence of an HRD in the sample based on the SVs. Some embodiments also include determining a BRCA 1 / BRCA2-Yike status for a sample comprising an HDR.BACKGROUND

[0003] Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is an important feature to be recognized in cancers because it has direct implication in patient management and treatment options. HRD results from impairment of the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway, which ultimate role is maintaining genomic stability during DNA replication. HRD leads to genomic instability due to accumulation of improperly repaired replication associated double-strand breaks and is associated with cancer. HRD observed in cancers is includes inactivation of genes associated with HRR, including BRCA1 and BRCA2, and less frequently PALB2, RAD51 paralogs, such as RAD51C, RAD51B and RAD51D.

[0004] Germline HRR gene mutations can lead to a major predisposition to breast and ovarian carcinoma, including hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. HRD is found in approximately half of triple negative breast carcinomas (TNBC) which are hormone receptor negative with no over-expression of HER2; and high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGOC), as well as at lower frequencies in other solid tumors.

[0005] The presence of an HRD in a tumor may affect a response to certain therapies. For example, patients with HRD HGOC have a better response to certain therapies including platinum-based chemotherapy, and PARP inhibitors in maintenance therapy. Prior strategies to identify HDR in tumors from patients with TNBC or HGOC have included whole genome sequencing (WGS), However, techniques such as WGS remain costly in terms of sequencing and data storage and demanding in terms of bioinformatics analysis. Therefore, there is a need for alternative methods and systems to identify tumors having an HRD.SUMMARY

[0006] Disclosed herein include embodiments of a method for determining the presence or absence of a homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in a sample. In some embodiments, the method for determining the presence or absence of an HRD in a sample is under control of a processor (e g., a hardware processor or a virtual processor).

[0066] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof. In the drawings, similar symbols typically identify similar components, unless context dictates otherwise. The illustrative embodiments described in the detailed description, drawings, and claims are not meant to be limiting. Other embodiments can be utilized, and other changes can be made, without departing from the spirit or scope of the subject matter presented herein. It will be readily understood that the aspects of the present disclosure, as generally described herein, and illustrated in the Figures, can be arranged, substituted, combined, separated, and designed in a wide variety of different configurations, all of which are explicitly contemplated herein and made part of the disclosure herein.

[0067] All patents, published patent applications, other publications, and sequences from GenBank, and other databases referred to herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety with respect to the related technology.

[0068] Some embodiments of the methods and compositions provided herein relate to detecting a homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in a tumor sample from a subject, such as a breast or ovarian cancer tumor. Some embodiments include obtaining genome mapping (GM) data from the tumor sample, identifying structural variants (SVs) from the GM data, and determining the presence of absence of an HRD in the sample based on the SVs. Some embodiments also include determining a BRCA J / BRCA2 -like status for a sample comprising an HDR.

[0069] In some embodiments, GM data is generated from a sample. The GM data can include a consensus map representing the genome of the sample. In some embodiments, SVs are identified in the GM data by comparing the GM data with a reference genome. A list of the SVs or map of the SVs can be generated based on the identified SVs. In some embodiments, rare SVs are identified in the GM data, such as by removing common SVs, such as an SV having a variant allele frequency (VAF) > 001 in a plurality of reference genomes. In some embodiments, different types of SVs, such as SVs in the list or the map, are identified and counted. The total number of certain SV types can be applied to an HRD classifier to generate a probability that the sample comprises an HRD. In some embodiments, the SV types can include the number of (i) isolated translocations, (ii) balanced translocations; and (iii) inverted duplications with a size in a range from 30 kb to 300 kb, together with the number of inversions. An isolated translocation can include an SV type in which a translocation is identified, and each end of an isolated translocation is located at a distance from another translocation in an assembled map of the genome mapping data of at least 1.5 Mb, 2.0 Mb, 2.5 Mb, or 3.0 Mb. In some embodiments, a BRCAJ / BRCA2-iike status of a tumor comprising an HRD can be determined by applying the total number of certain SV types to a BRCA1 / BRCA2 classifier. In some such embodiments the SV types can include (i) deletions < 25 kb; and duplications < 100 kb.

[0070] HRD leads to genomic instability resulting in specific genomic alterations, such as genomic scar. One strong component of this scar include SVs, which can be called by high coverage whole genome sequencing (WGS). Some embodiments provided herein include GM, such as optical genome mapping (OGM) to call SVs to provide a simple cost-effective and computationally efficient model for HRD testing, as compared to techniques such as WGS. Based on the training set of 41 samples of TNBC (n=26) and HGOC (n=l 5) the features associated with known HRD status of tumors were selected from the OGM readout. Isolated and balanced translocations were foundstrongly associated with HRD, while tandem inverted duplications and inversions were enriched in non-HRD (nonHRD) cases. A linear HRD classifier using these features had an accuracy of at least 94% in a validation series of 31 TNBC and HGOC. This HRD classifier corrected at least one case of the validation series to a subsequently confirmed HRD status. Consistent with previous studies, duplications and deletions of less 25 kb in size were found enriched in BRCA1- and BRCA2-inactivated tumors, respectively. A preliminary sub-classifier of BAC47-inactivated tumors based on these two features had an 80% accuracy in the validation series. Embodiments provided herein include GM (such as OGM) as a fast, cost-effective, and accurate technique to determine HRD status in TNBC and HGOC, tolerating low tumor content due to its ultra-high coverage. In some embodiments, a subject whose HRD status in TNBC or HGOC is determined can be administered a drug, such as a PARP inhibitor.

[0071] HRD genomic instability scar can include a pattern of somatic alterations accumulated during tumor genome evolution due to impaired HRR pathways. This HRD pattern can be specific and can be recognized based on different readouts from measured genomic alterations. Historically the first genomic signatures of HRD were based on allele specific copy number alterations (CNA) readout, which were compiled in the MyChoice CDx® Plus HRD assay by Myriad Genetics, which is an FDA-approved test used now in clinics. The test sums up the number of largescale state transitions (LSTs), such as CNA breaks between chromosome fragments of more than 10 Mb; the number of large chromosome fragments with loss of heterozygosity (LOH); and the number of chromosome arms with telomeric allelic imbalance (TAI) into an HRD score, where HRD is called if the score is at least 42. Within the same framework of mining CNA readout, a new generation of HRD tests emerged based on low-pass shallow whole genome sequencing (sWGS). CNA profiles obtained from sWGS can be used to generate large genomic alterations (LGA) score, genomic instability score (GIS) or various direct binned profile classification methods for HRD calling.

[0072] Whatever the method or technique used for HRD classification based on CNA readout, the performance would be around 85-90% because of the highly specific genomic scar of HRD. The remaining 10-15% cases could not be efficiently resolved based on CNA readout because of borderline scores and absence of a definitive biological classifier (ground truth for HRD status and CNA profile).

[0073] Full-coverage WGS may resolve complicated cases. WGS of a large set of breast cancers detailed the genomic scar of HRD from single-base substitutions (SBS) and small indels to the wide range of SVs, including inter-chromosomal translocations, deletions, tandem duplications(TD) and inversions. Among the genomic alterations most significantly associated with HRD include a signature SBS, small deletions (~10 bp) with microhomology at the ends, deletions smaller than 100 kb, and TD smaller than 100 kb associated specifically with BRCA / -mutated tumors. Clustered SVs, TD of more than 100 kb were the main features found anticorrelated with HRD. Using the full spectrum of genomic rearrangements extracted from WGS, the associated diagnostic pipeline HRDetect is 100% precise in HRD calling. However, WGS remains costly in terms of sequencing and data storage and demanding in terms of bioinformatics analysis. SV calling from WGS is still a challenging bioinformatics task requiring efficient false positive / germline SV filtering, complex algorithms for decomposing clustered events and is very sensitive to the tumor content, which is often compromised in the clinical settings. However, SV readout is highly specific for HRD and its deployment in resolving complicated cases not only improves clinical testing but also brings new insights into HRD cancer biology. Thus there is a need for alternative methods and systems for identifying HRD.

[0074] Embodiments of the methods and compositions provided herein include GM, such as OGM which detects HRD based on structural variants. Such embodiments are cost-effective alternatives to WGS and other prior methods. OGM is a non-sequencing-based genome-wide visualization technique with high coverage, able to detect structural rearrangements. OGM has already been successfully used to detect germline and somatic structural rearrangements, especially in hematological malignancies. Embodiments provided herein include an HRD classifier based on direct SV output from OGM which has been validated this classifier in a series of TNBC and HGOC.Optical genome mapping

[0075] FIG. 1 illustrates a non-limiting exemplary workflow of OGM. The data generated from OGM can be used to determine BAF values of SNPs for a sample. The OGM workflow can start with mega-base size DNA isolation, e.g., 150 kbp or longer. A single enzymatic reaction can label the genome at a specific sequence motif occurring, e.g., approximately 15 times per 100 kbp in the human genome. The long, labeled DNA molecules can be linearized in nanochannel arrays (e.g., provided by a cartridge or chip, such as a Saphyr Chip®, Bionano Genomics, Inc. (San Diego, CA)) and imaged in an automated manner by an OGM instrument (e.g., Saphyr® System, Bionano Genomics, Inc. (San Diego, CA)). The molecules can be assembled into local maps or whole genome maps. Changes in patterning or spacing of the labels can be detected, genome-wide, to call structural variants.

[0076] OGM is an imaging technology which evaluates the fluorescent labeling pattern of individual DNA molecules to perform an unbiased assessment of genome-wide structural variants down to, e.g., 500 base pairs (bp) in size, a resolution that far exceeds conventional cytogenetic approaches. OGM can rely on a specifically designed extraction protocol facilitating the isolation of high molecular weight (HMW) or ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) DNA. This protocol can, in some embodiments, utilize a paramagnetic disk purposed with trapping DNA for wash steps thereby reducing sheering forces present in standard column-based extraction methods. The result can be DNA fragments (or molecules) of about 150 kilobases (kbp) to megabases (Mbp) in size, about 5-10X longer than the average fragment size from conventional DNA isolations techniques. Referring to FIG. 1, DNA can be fluorescently labeled via covalent modification at a motif (which can be 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more nucleotides in length), such as a hexamer motif (e.g., the CTTAAG hexamer motif), generating genome-wide density of a number of labels per 100 kb in sequence specific patterns (e.g., approximately 14-17 labels per 100 kb, or 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or more or fewer labels per 100 kb). Labeled DNA can be loaded on chips (e.g., silicon chips) composed of hundreds of thousands of parallel nanochannels where individual DNA molecules are linearized, imaged, and digitized. The specific labeling profile of individual DNA molecules, including spacing and pattern of hexamers labels, can be subsequently grouped based on similarity, producing about 500 kbp (or longer or shorter, such as 300 kbp, 400 kbp, 500 kbp, 600 kbp, 700 kbp, 800 kbp, 900 kbp, 1000 kbp) to megabase-sized consensus maps, which can be compared in silico to the expected labeling pattern of a reference genome (FIG. 1). This imaging technology converts DNA into a “barcode” whose labeling profile and characteristics can sensitively and specifically resolve copy number and structural variation without the need for sequence level data (FIG. 1). The quality of the DNA, including both size and labeling characteristics, as well as the number of images captured can influence genome-wide coverage. For example, each flow cell, which can accommodate a single specimen, can generate, for example, up to 5000 Gigabase pairs (Gbp) of raw data (or 3000 Gbp, 4000 Gbp, 5000 Gbp, 6000 Gbp, 7000 Gbp, 8000 Gbp, 9000 Gbp, 10000 Gbp, or more or less, of raw data), achieving a maximum theoretical genome-wide coverage of about 1250x (or 500x, 750x, lOOOx, 1250x, 1500x, 1750x, 2000x, or more or less). Bioinformatics analyses can be performed. Example bioinformatics analysis can include: de novo structural variant analysis for typical germline assessments (e.g., greater than about 80x-coverage; requiring greater than about 400 Gbp data collection) or ‘Rare Variant Analysis (RVP)’ for somatic assessment down to a ~5% variant allele fraction (e.g., greater than about 340x coverage; requiring greater than about 1500 Gbp data). Bothalgorithms facilitate the detection of a wide array of structural variants; from copy number gains / losses to balanced / unbalanced translocations and insertions to inversions.

[0077] OGM can be used to analyze large eukaryotic genomes and their structural features at a high resolution. OGM uses linearized strands of HMW or UHMW DNA that are far longer than the DNA sequences analyzed in current second- and third-generation sequencing methods, achieving average read lengths in excess of 200 kbp. The usage of long molecules in OGM can allow repetitive regions and other regions that are complicated to map to be spanned more easily than with short molecules. This leads to the creation of maps that may cover the whole arm of a chromosome and yet allow the detection of insertions and deletions as small as 500 bp (or longer or shorter, such as 300 kbp, 400 kbp, 500 kbp, 600 kbp, 700 kbp, 800 kbp, 900 kbp, 1000 kbp) other SVs may need to be 30 kbp (or 10 kbp, 20k kbp, 30 kbp, 40 kbp, or 50 kbp)) or larger to be detectable. OGM can be used to, for example, detect the breakpoints of chromosomal translocations, for the diagnosis of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). OGM may be used as a cytogenomic tool for prenatal diagnostics

[0078] Extraction / Isolation. UHMW DNA can be extracted for OGM, for example. UHMW DNA extraction can be done using isolation kits, such as kits from Bionano Genomics, Inc. (San Diego, CA). In some embodiments, DNA from approximately 1.5 x 106cells (or 1 * 105, 1.5 * 105, 2.5 x 105, 5 x 105, 7.5 x 105, 1 x 106, 1.5 x 106, 2.5 x 106, 5 x 106, 7.5 x 106, 1 x 107or more or fewer cells) can be extracted. The extraction can include immobilizing cells in agarose plugs and lysing the immunized cells by proteinase K; thereafter. The extraction can include washing, recovering, and quantifying the genomic DNA. Alternatively or additionally, the genomic DNA can be bound to a magnetic disk. Subsequently, the DNA can be washed, recovered, and quantified.

[0079] Labeling and Processing. A sufficient quantity of UHMW DNA (e.g., 250 ng, 500 ng, 750 ng, 1000 ng, 1250 ng, 1500 ng, 1750 ng, 2000 ng, or more UHMW DNA) can be labeled with a fluorophore. Such labeling can be done using a methyltransferase, such as the methyltransferase direct labeling enzyme (DLE-1) at the recognition motif of the methyltransferase, such as CTTAAG. This can generate a number of labels per 100 kbp (e.g., approximately 14-15 labels per 100 kbp, or 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or more or less labels per kbp) when labeling human genomic DNA. In some embodiments, such labeling can be done using another enzyme (e.g., an endonuclease) at the recognition motif of the enzyme (e.g., GCTCTTCN of endonuclease Nt.BspQI).

[0080] Thereafter, the DNA can be dialyzed, its backbone stained, and finally the prepared DNA can be applied to flow cells (e.g., G1.2 flow cells from Bionano Genomics, Inc.) The flow cellcan then be inserted into an OGM instrument, such as the Saphyr® instrument from Bionano Genomics, Inc. In the instrument, the DNA can be fed by electrophoresis into the nanochannels of the flow cell for linearization. DNA-filled nanochannels can be scanned using, for example, a fluorescence microscope. The captured images can be converted to electronic representations of the DNA molecules. The virtual DNA strands can then filtered and de novo assembled into maps (FIG.1).

[0081] OGM Data Assembly. The data acquired with the OGM instrument can be processed. For example, the raw data can be filtered for a minimum length of 150 kbp (or 100 kbp, 125 kbp, 150 kbp, 175 kbp, 200 kbp, or more) and minimum of nine labels (or 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, or more labels) per molecule (or fragment). The filtered molecules can be assembled, e.g., with de novo assembly. The consensus maps of the molecules can be aligned to a reference genome sequence, such as the human reference genome GRCh38. Variants can be detected. Variants detection can be performed using, for example, an SV pipeline, comparing the maps to the aligned reference genome. There, patterns of markers from the maps deviating from the reference become apparent. Variants detections can be performed using, for example, a CNV pipeline,” which quantifies the mapped molecules and hence is able to detect gains and losses of several hundred kbp in size.

[0082] The results of the SV pipeline can then be augmented by, for example, a variant annotation pipeline, which adds quality metrics for the called variants and supplies their estimated frequency in the human population based on an internal database. The optional step of filtering based on the frequency of the SVs in the internal database may (or may not) be used in some implementations. The SVs can be detected or called. Automatic calling can be based on the confidence scores and sizes of the SVs (insertions and deletions: confidence > 0, size > 500 bp; inversions: confidence > 0.7, size > 30 kbp; duplications: confidence = -1, size > 30 kbp; intrachromosomal translocations: confidence > 0.3; interchromosomal translocations: confidence > 0.65; CNV confidence > 0.99, size > 500 kbp). Additionally, each called SV can be required to be spanned by > 5 strands of DNA.

[0083] The total amount of unfiltered DNA scanned by the OGM system can be, or be about, 750 Gbp, 800 Gbp, 850 Gbp, 900 Gbp, 916 Gbp, 925 Gbp, 950 Gbp, 1000 Gbp, 1250 Gbp, or more, per sample on average. An effective coverage of the reference can be, or can be greater than, 40*, 50*, 60*, 70X580*, 90xpor more, per sample. The effective coverage of the reference can be defined as the total length of filtered (>150 kbp) and aligned molecules divided by the length of the reference genome after de novo assembly

[0085] For electronic genome mapping (EGM), HMW or UHMW DNA molecules (e. ., 50 kbp to 500 kbp) can be isolated from a sample (e.g., a cell sample, a blood sample). The isolated DNA molecules can be labelled at known recognition sites. Labeling can include DNA nicking translocation and label (or tag) insertion. The recognition sites can be, for example, 4 kbp apart on average. A DNA binding protein e.g., RecA) can be used to stiffen the DNA molecules. An EGM chip (also referred to as an EGM detector) can comprise solid-state nanochannels (e.g., 256 parallel nanochannels), each with its own electronic sensor. The EGM chip can be in an EGM instrument. The labeled DNA molecules can be injected into the EGM chip. Single DNA molecules can be electrophoretically moved through a nanochannel. Single DNA molecules can be electrophoretically moved through nanochannels at the same time. In a nanochannel, the labels (or tags) of a DNA molecule can be electronically detected by changes in resistance, which can be inferred from changes in voltage. When a DNA molecule enters the nanochannel, it blocks the current that can go through the channel and can be measured as a voltage change. When a label (or tag) is also present on the DNA molecule, the current is further reduced resulting in a sharp signal. The voltage can be measured as a function of time so the time that a nanochannel is empty, the time it is occupied by untagged DNA, and the time each label (or tag) goes through the nanochannel can be determined. The times between voltage peaks correspond to distances between labels on a DNA molecule. These times can be converted to distances for each DNA molecule. The results can include single molecule maps with the location of each label (or tag). The single molecule maps for a single sample can be assembled into local maps or a whole genome map of all labeled (or tagged) locations for the sample which can be aligned against a reference genome. Analysis such as structural variant (SV) analysis can be performed.Certain methods for determining an HRD status of a sample

[0086] Some embodiments provided herein include methods for determining the presence or absence of an HRD in a sample. Some such embodiments include computer-implemented methods, such as methods comprising, under control of a hardware processor: receiving GM data generated from a sample from a subject; determining a plurality of SVs in the GM data by comparing the GM data with a reference genome; and determining the presence or absence of an HRD in the sample based on the plurality of SVs.

[0087] In some embodiments, the determining a plurality of SVs in the GM data comprises generating from the GM data a list of the plurality of SVs, and / or a map comprising the plurality of SVs. In some embodiments, the determining a plurality of SVs in the GM data comprises identifying SV types in the plurality of SVs. In some embodiments, the SV types are selected from deletions, duplications, inversions, and / or translocations. In some embodiments, the determining a plurality of SVs in the GM data comprises removing common SVs from the plurality of SVs. Some such embodiments include removing from the plurality of SVs, such as from the list and / or from the map, an SV having a VAT > 001 in a plurality of reference genomes. In some embodiments, the plurality of references genomes is from subjects lacking a reported disease phenotype.

[0088] In some embodiments, the determining a plurality of SVs in the GM data comprises determining the number of SVs in one or more SV types in the plurality of SVs, , such as in the list and / or in the map. In some embodiments, the one or more SV types is selected from a deletion, a duplication, an inversion, and / or a translocation. In some embodiments, the one or more SV types is selected from an isolated translocation, a balanced translocation, an inverted duplication with a size in a range from 30 kb to 300 kb, an inversion, a deletion < 25 kb, and / or a duplication < 100 kb. In some embodiments, the one or more SV types is selected from an isolated translocation, a balanced translocation, an inverted duplication with a size in a range from 30 kb to 300 kb, and / or an inversion. In some embodiments, each end of an isolated translocation is located at a distance from another translocation in an assembled map of the genome mapping data of at least 1.5 Mb, 2.0 Mb, 2.5 Mb, or 3.0 Mb. In some embodiments, the distance is at least 2.0 Mb.

[0089] In some embodiments, the determining the presence or absence of an HRD comprises applying to an HRD classifier the number of SVs in each of the one of more SV types to provide a probability that a sample comprises an HRD. In some embodiments, the number of SVs in each of the one of more SV types comprises the number of: (i) isolated translocations, (ii) balancedtranslocations, and (iii) inverted duplications with a size in a range from 30 kb to 300 kb together with the number of inversions.

[0090] In some embodiments, the HRD classifier is obtained by performing a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression on the number of SVs in each SV type in a plurality of different SV types obtained from GM data from a plurality of control samples comprising an HRD and a plurality of control samples lacking an HRD. In some embodiments, the SVs obtained from GM data from the plurality of control samples lack an SV having a VAF > 001 in a plurality of reference genomes. In some embodiments, the plurality of references genomes is from subjects lacking a reported disease phenotype. In some embodiments, the different SV types are selected from duplications, inverted duplications, inversions, translocations, and / or deletions. In some embodiments, the different SV types include isolated translocations, balanced translocations, inverted duplications with a size in a range from 30 kb to 300 kb, deletions < 25 kb, and / or duplications < 100 kb.

[0091] In some embodiments, the determining the presence or absence of an HRD comprises comparing the number of SVs in one or more SV types in the plurality of SVs with the number of SVs in the one or more SV types in a control obtained from GM data from a sample lacking an HRD. In some embodiments, an increase in the number of the SVs in the one or more SV types in the plurality of SVs compared to the number of SVs in the one or more SV types in the control is indicative of the sample having an HRD, wherein the one or more SV types is selected from an isolated translocation, a balanced translocation, and / or a duplication < 100 kb. In some embodiments, a decrease in the number of the SVs in the one or more SV types in the plurality of SVs compared to the number of SVs in the one or more SV types in the control is indicative of the sample having an HRD, wherein the one or more SV types is selected from an inverted duplication with a size in a range from 30 kb to 300 kb, an inversion, and / or a deletion < 25 kb.

[0137] Classifiers for HRD and BRCAl / BRCA2-like status were identified from PGM data in a training series of TNBC tumors and HGPC tumors. The classifiers were tested with PGM data from a validation series of tumor samples.Training series and quality control

[0138] Tumor samples for TNBC and HGPC were obtained for which HRD status had been assessed by shallowWGSv2, and sequencing of HRR genes to determine HRR mutation status. The training set included 52 cases: 34 TNBC and 18 HGPC. Eight HGPC cases had been annotated by the Myriad MyChoice® test (Myriad Genetics, Salt Lake City, UT) which were consistent with results from shallowHRDv2 or HRR mutation status. Six cases were excluded because of insufficient material for PGM (5 TNBC, 1 HGPC). Forty-three cases out of 46 passed post-PGM quality filters including 27 TNBC and 16 HGPC (FIG. 7). PGM was performed from frozen blocks and shallowHRDv2 from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) slides corresponding to different parts of the same tumor.Tumor content and effective coverage

[0139] Certain characteristics of samples used in the training series and validation series are listed in TABLE 1. Effective coverage in the training series ranged from 160 X to 1500 X (median ± interquartile range [IQR] = 676 ± 388). All SVs with a variant allele frequency (VAF) > 0.01 were extracted from the RVA pipeline. The total number of SVs detected per tumor ranged from 59 to 574 (262 ± 177). The median number of molecules per detected SV ranged from 13 to 377 (79 ± 86). An outlier case had 31 detected SVs and a flat PGM profile and was discarded due to undetectable tumor content. Another outlier case had less than 10 median molecules per detected SV with an effective coverage (207 X) and was also discarded. Six cases were kept in the training set despite having less than 20 median number of molecules per detected SV, corresponding to low tumor content and / or low effective coverage. In total, 78% of initially selected cases were analyzable, including 26 TNBC (14 HRD cases including: 5 BRCAlmut, 2 BRCA2mut and 1 RAD51Cmut, and 12 nonHRD cases) and 15 HGPC (11 HRD cases including: 2 BRCAlmut and 5 BRCA2mut, and 4 nonHRD cases).

[0141] A rare variant analysis (RVA) pipeline classified 10 categories of SV including: deletion, insertion, duplication, duplication-split, inverted-duplication, inversion, inversion-paired, inversion-partial, inter-chromosomal translocation and intra-chromosomal translocation. Certain SVs are visualized in Circos plots depicted in FIG. 8.

[0142] RVA called head-to-tail tandem duplications as insertion, duplication or duplication-split depending on their sizes. Detection of duplications smaller than 30 kb was limited by the low number of labels that prevented robust mapping. Detection of large duplications was limited when exceeding the average size of DNA fibers, which was around 180 kb. Most insertions were < 30 kb; duplications were in a range of about 30-300 kb, and duplication-split were mostly > 200 kb (FIG. 9A). Consistently, 9 / 10 randomly chosen > 30 kb insertions were manually confirmed as duplications; and 10 / 10 randomly chosen duplication-split with sufficient coverage (visible CNAs) were manually confirmed as duplications in the genomic viewer (FIG. 9B and FIG. 9). Therefore, insertions, duplications and duplication-split were merged in a single “DUP” SV type.

[0143] Duplication inverted were called for tandem inverted duplication (tail-to-tail or head-to-head duplication) with size range 30 kb - 300 kb and denoted DUP_INV. Small DUP_INVcould also be annotated as insertions and the large ones as two different DUP INV. Because of rarity of such events and their marginal effects on SV classification, further adjustments were not made. Simple inverted DNA fragments were reported by RVA as inversion, inversion-paired or inversionpartial denoted here by INV. Actual inversions were reported as two coupled events, thus a couple of inversion-paired was counted as one inversion, and inversion-partial were discarded.

[0144] Inter-chromosomal and intra-chromosomal translocations (representing all intra-chromosomal rearrangements with the distance between start and end genomic position more than 5 Mb) were counted together as TRA, ending up with five SV types: DUP, DUP_INV, INV, TRA and deletions (DEL). TABLE 2 lists certain characteristics related to SVs of the training set including SV categories, types and subtypes, and their abundance (median value; interquartile range).

[0145] TABLE 2 lists certain OGM SV categories, SV types and subtypes and their relative abundance in certain groups of samples.TABLE 24)0 90ftj H05 5.OG SMVt caegory Median ± IQR (P) Median ± IQR (P)DEL<25kb 22 ±20 16 ±9.5 33 ±49 1.05 e-03 19 ±8 73.5 ±39 1.24 e-03 Deletion.

[0146] In order to build an HRD OGM classifier, HRD (24 cases) andnonHRD (17 cases) OGM profiles from the 41 qualified cases were compared. First, the size of the four SV types (DEL, DUP, DUP INV and INV) were examined to define the most discriminant intervals between HRD and nonHRD cases, and between BRCA1 and BRCA2 HRD tumors. Of note, cases inactivated for RAD51C were considered within the group of BRCA2 HRD (termed B7?G42-like) since they were believed to share genomic characteristics.

[0147] The distribution of sizes of DUP with regard to HRD and mutation status was consistent with previous studies based on WGS (FIG. 10A). As depicted in FIG 6A, HRD BRCAlmut (n=7) and HRD BRCAwt (n=10) cases showed a clear single peak around 10 kb and drop around 25 kb. BRCA2-Yike HRD tumors (n=8) had a density peak around 50 kb and drop around 100 kb, whereas nonHRD tumors (n=16) had almost flat density profiles across all sizes. Thus, the SV subtypes DUP<100kb and DUP>100kb were considered to characterize the HRD status, and DUP<25kb and DUP>25kb SV subtypes to discriminate BRCA1 and BRCA 2-like HRD cases.

[0148] As depicted in FIG. 10B, the distribution of sizes of DEL showed a single peak for all HRD tumors around 10 kb and drop around 25 kb, whereas nonHRD tumors had almost flat density profiles. Therefore, the DEL<25kb and DEL>25kb SV subtypes were considered to characterize the HRD status.

[0149] INV and DUP_INV were less numerous and displayed no substantial difference in size distribution depending on the HRD status (FIG. 10C, FIG. 10D). As depicted in FIG. 10E, INV and DUP INV had correlated counts (R2= 0.28; P = 4 x 10'4) and DUP INV outnumbered INV, therefore INV and DUP_INV were merged into a single SV subtype ‘DUP_INVplus’ (FIG. 10E).

[0150] Second, HRD and nonHRD tumors were compared using all selected features (TABLE 2; TABLE 3; FIG. 10F, FIG. 11 A,). Three SV subtypes displayed significant differences. DUP<100kb and DEL<25kb were more numerous in HRD than in nonHRD tumors (DUP<100kb: 75 ±90 versus (vs) 17±23, respectively; P = 4.24 x 10'6; DEL<25kb: 33±49 vs 16±9.5, respectively; P = 1.05 x 10'3). Conversely, DUP INVplus were more numerous in nonHRD than in HRD cases (22.5±8.5 vs 12±8, respectively; P = 3.92 x 10’4).

[0152] The 7 BRCA1 were compared with the 8 BRCA2-V\ke HRD tumors (FIG. 1 IB, FIG.10G). A significant difference was observed for the DUP<25kb, more numerous in the BRCA1 cases (114±62 vs24.5±10.75;P = 1.24x 10'3). Conversely, DEL<25kb were more abundant in the BRCA2-like than in BRCA1 cases (73.5±39 vs 19±8, respectively; P = 1.24 x 10‘3). No significant difference was found for DUP INVplus.

[0153] Third, the translocations (TRA) were examined. There was no substantial difference in the number of TRA between HRD and nonHRD groups (TABLE 2; FIG. 11 A). However, in nonHRD tumors, TRA were clustered at discrete genomic locations, while in HRD tumors, TRA more uniformly distributed across the genome (FIG. 8). Following a strategy used to define large-scale state transitions (LST) and large-scale genomic alterations (LGA), an isolated TRA SV subtype was identified, which was defined as a TRA with no other TRA closer than at a given distance from the start or end position. The distance was fitted using the training series (FIG. 11C).A perfect discrimination between HRD and nonHRD cases was observed using distances from ~1.5 to 2.5 Mb, and the 2 Mb distance was selected to call the Isolated TRA SV subtype (FIG. 1 ID). To further validate the discriminative ability of this feature, numbers of Isolated TRA detected by OGM were compared with numbers of LGA identified by shallowHRDv2. Both variables correlated well (R2= 0.73; P = 9 x 1013, FIG. 10H), suggesting that these two independent methods measured a similar genomic hallmark. Importantly, Isolated TRA separated HRD from nonHRD cases with no overlap (range [16-40] vs [1-13], respectively; P = 9.49 x 10’8) (FIG. HE). Balanced_TRA, corresponding to reciprocal (or balanced) translocations where the two TRA occurred at an immediate vicinity with opposite orientations, were found significantly enriched in the HRD tumors as compared with nonHRD tumors (median±IQR= 9±5 vs 0±0.25 respectively; P = 1.37 x 10’6) (FIG. 1 IE).Classification models

[0154] Overall, five features discriminated HRD from nonHRD tumors: DEL<25kb, DUP<100kb, Isolated TRA and Balanced TRA enriched in HRD tumors and DUP INVplus enriched in nonHRD tumors. A classification model was developed which was adapted to thesemulticollinear features using LASSO logistic regression. This model was fitted on the 41 samples from the training set to predict the probability of being HRD. The final model used only three features, Isolated TRA being the most predictive, Balanced TRA and DUP INVplus (coefficients = 0.69, 0.17 and -0.18, respectively; FIG. 12A). The probability output classified samples as HRD when P > 0.55, as nonHRD when P < 0.45 (putative samples with P = 0.5 ±0.05 are declared borderline). The model was fully discriminant on the training cohort (Area Under Curve [AUC]=1, Mean-Squared Error [MSE]=0.0027 and R2=0.994).

[0155] Similarly, a model was developed to discriminate BRCA1 from BRCA2-\ke tumors using the two significant features: DUP<25kb (enriched in BRCA1 samples) and DEL<25kb (enriched in BRCA2-\ .e samples). Isolated TRA was also found discriminative for BRCA1 and BRCA2-\ e (TABLE 1), but the difference was best explained by the tumor origin (FIG. 101) and this feature was not included in the model. Model fitting was performed on the 15 samples with known major HRR gene inactivation from the training series (7 BRCAl 7 BRCA2 and 1 RAD51C). Both features were informative with DUP<25kb being the most predictive ( =0.17 for DUP<25kb; 0=-0.13 for DEL<25kb; FIG. 12B). Its probability output classified samples as BRCA1 when P>0.55, as BRCA2- .Q when P < 0.45 (putative samples with P = 0.5±0.05 are declared borderline). The model was fully discriminant on the training cohort (AUC=1, MSE=0.0021 and R2=0.996).Validation series

[0156] The classifiers were tested on an independent validation series of 19 TNBC and 18 HGOC with HRD diagnostics by shallowHRDv2 and HRR gene mutations status. TABLE 1. Two cases had insufficient material for OGM, three cases were discarded for undetectable tumor content and one case did not pass quality filters. In total, the validation series included 31 cases (31 / 37; 84%), including 11 HRD and 20 nonHRD cases. TABLE 4. The whole validation analysis was performed without manual supervision and with masked HRD status. Counts of all SV types and subtypes were calculated as previously described and the HRD classifier was applied. After unmasking the HRD status, 28 samples were correctly classified (FIG. 12C).

[0158] The 3 discordant cases were further examined. A RAD51C methylation with loss of heterozygosity was found in one sample, fully explaining its OGM HRD status; the case was misclassified by the shallowHRDv2 test due to a noisy CNA profile. The two other samples, classifiedas HRD by shallowHRDv2, and as nonHRD by OGM, carried no detected HRR mutation (including BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, RAD51B, RAD51C, and RAD51D) and no methylation of BRCA1 or RAD51C promoters. One of the cases had a borderline score on its shallowHRDv2 test and low tumor content. The second case was a carcinosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of ovarian carcinoma, and a borderline shallowHRD score. Notably, the HRD classification model achieved an accuracy of minimum 94%, with not a single discordance with the HRR genetic or epigenetic status.

[0159] The BRCA1 / 2 sub-classifier was tested on the 5 samples carrying known mutations, and the reclassified meRAD51C sample. Five samples were classified correctly, and one BRCA2 case was classified as borderline. The model achieved an accuracy of 83% (FIG. 12D).

[0160] Altogether, the OGM-based classifier correctly attributed HRD / nonHRD status to 94% of samples in the validation series, including correction of at least one case to confirmed HRD. Furthermore, the sub-classifier provided a correct assignment for the BRCA1 or BCRA2-like status for all HRD samples, but one borderline case.Tandem inverted duplications and inversions

[0161] It was believed that the enrichment in tandem inverted duplications (DUP INV) and inversions (INV) in nonHRD tumors had not been previously highlighted, while the number of inversions were used in HRDetect among other variables. To examine if DUP INV and INV reflected the frequent clustered alterations in nonHRD tumors, clustered and non-clustered SVs were defined and compared in HRD and nonHRD groups. No significant difference was found in non-clustered DUP INV and INV between HRD and nonHRD cases; the major differences appeared when comparing the number of inverted events clustered with more than 2 other SVs. Clustered DUP INV and INV were significantly enriched in nonHRD compared with HRD cases (median ± interquartile range [IQR] for DUP_INV 6.5 ± 12 vs 2 ± 3, respectively; P = 1.6 x 10‘3; for INV 4 ± 7 vs 1 ± 3, respectively; P = 3.5 x 1 O’4). No difference was found between TNBC and HGOC with respect to the inverted events (FIG. 13 A, FIG. 13B).Discussion

[0162] OGM was used to examine in TNBC and HGOC to identify HRD-associated structural variants. Informative SV features enriched in HRD were readily identified, such as small deletions (DEL<25kb) and duplications (DUP<100kb). Features including isolated translocations (Isolated TRA), and balanced translocations (Balanced TRA), both highly enriched in HRD tumors were also defined. Balanced translocations could not be detected from CNA profiles and representedan added value from OGM analysis. Finally, inverted duplications and inversions were found enriched in nonHRD tumors. Inversions were previously included into the output of WGS analyses but did not show independent predictive value for HRD detection, most probably because their amount correlated with clustered alterations. Tandem inverted duplications are probably more challenging to call from short reads WGS, which explained their absence in WGS-based HRD classifiers.

[0163] Embodiments provided herein include an OGM HRD classifier for TNBC and HGOC, using three selected features: Isolated TRA, Balanced TRA and DUP INVplus. Also disclosed are embodiments including a classifier to discriminate BRCA1 from B ?G42-like tumors, using two features: DUP<25kb (enriched mBRCAl cases) and DEL<25kb (enriched in BRCA2 ike cases). Validation of the classifiers in the independent validation series showed a high accuracy, with not a single discrepancy between the OGM HRD status and the genetic / epigenetic hallmarks of HRD. Two cases with discordant OGM and shallowHRDv2 status had shallowHRDv2 scores close to the borderline (including one case with low tumor content), and no detected HRR mutation or methylation, which support OGM predictions as the correct ones. The OGM-based HRD classifier had a high accuracy, with at least one sample re-classified to the confirmed HRD.

[0164] A more fundamental contribution of OGM approach is the detection of genomic rearrangements specifically associated with nonHRD tumors. Indeed, nonHRD TNBC and HGOC almost consistently harbor highly rearranged genome profiles, whereas underlying mechanisms explaining this instability are yet to unravel. Excess of tandem inverted duplications may represent a first clue, as they were recently associated with DNA polymerase 8-dependent double-strand break repair mechanism. The actual structure at the nucleotide resolution of the DUP INV detected by OGM is likely to provide important insights in the source of genomic instability involved in nonHRD breast and ovarian high-grade carcinomas.

[0165] OGM is a useful approach for HRD determination in high-grade breast and ovarian tumors. It is an affordable technique and highly efficient even with samples with low tumor content. It provides a very robust calling for large structural variants, even when involving low mappability regions (with the exception of centromeric and telomeric regions). Moreover, it does not require complex bioinformatic analyses or heavy data storage. Finally, the readily interpretable OGM genomic profile may also provide information about key molecular events occurring in the tumors, and to ultimately identify therapeutic targets.Materials and methodsOptical genome mapping

[0166] UHMW gDNA was extracted from frozen tissue by the Bionano Prep SP Tissue Kit (Bionano Genomics, Inc., San Diego, CA) following the manufacturer’ instructions. Samples with less than 0.75 pg of extracted DNA were excluded. DNA labeling was performed according to the Direct label stain (DLS) protocol with the Direct label enzyme 1 (DLE1) enzyme (CTTAAG sequence). Briefly, the DLS protocol includes an enzymatic labeling approach for direct fluorescent labeling of ultra-high molecular weight gDNA by DLE-1. The DLE-1 enzyme attaches a DL-Green fluorophore via covalent modification at a specific-sequence motif, such as the CTTAAG sequence. This labeling process is non-damaging to the gDNA, allowing the generation of highly contiguous genome maps and providing high sensitivity to detection of structural variants. After sequencespecific labeling with DLE-1, the labeled DNA was stained for backbone visualization.

[0167] Labelled molecules were linearized and guided on the Saphyr Chip® into nanochannels to be imaged. Samples were analyzed 3 by 3 for 3 days to obtain the highest possible coverage. Molecules were aligned together and compared to the hg38 reference map. Quality control (QC) was performed. Samples were excluded that failed to have an effective coverage > 100 X; ‘N50 > 20 kb’ (i.e. median size of molecules > 20 kb) > 100 kb; and map rate > 50%. TABLE 1 lists samples used in the training series and validation series, along with certain characteristics.Mining PGM structural variants

[0168] A RVA was performed using Bionano Access® software version 1.7 (Bionano Genomics, Inc., San Diego, CA) and Solve software version 3.7 (Bionano Genomics, Inc., San Diego, CA). Smap files were generated and data analyses were performed with a custom R script using the tidyverse and GenomicRanges libraries. The RVA can include detection of SVs by a “split-read” analysis, where initial molecule alignment and molecule extension refinement allow identification and detection of somatic variants and identifies variants that are 5,000 bp or longer in size. In some embodiments, a rare variant is present in low abundance in a sample and is not present in a reference molecule.

[0169] Common structural variants were filtered out using the PGM SVs database (RVA pipeline), as the corresponding germline samples were not analyzed. Variants with reported confidence <0.1 and SVs supported by less than 5 / 500 multiplied by effective coverage of the sample were filtered out.

[0170] Duplicates defined as SVs with genomic overlapping positions that differed less than 30 kb were detected. For translocations, duplicates had genomic positions that differed less than 30 kb, the same orientation and similar VAF. The duplicate with the highest confidence was kept.

[0171] Isolated translocations were detected using the function countOverlaps from the GenomicRanges R package. Translocations without any other overlapping translocation in a fixed neighborhood were considered as isolated. Balanced translocations were detected from translocation pairs with both positions overlapping within 30 kb and having the same orientation + / + or - / - or coupled orientations + / - and - / +, or vice versa.

[0172] Two SVs were named ‘coupled’ if they had less than 1 Mb distance between their closest positions. Clustered N alterations were called if they could be arranged into the chain of coupled SVs.Methylation-sensitive high-resolution melting (MS-HRM) analysis

[0173] BRCA1 and RAD51C promoter methylation was assessed with MS-HRM analysis.100 ng of DNA from each sample were treated with sodium bisulfite with the EZ DNA Methylation-Lightning Kit (Zymo Research, D5030-E, Freibourg, Germany), following the manufacturer's instructions. MS-HRM analysis was performed in a Roche LC480 instrument (Roche Diagnostics, Meylan, France). The promoter regions of BRCA1 and RAD51C were analyzed using specifically designed primers by Methyldetect (Aalborg, Denmark).

[0174] All the analyses were run as follows: 1 cycle of 95 °C for 10 min, 50 cycles of 95 °C for 15 s, 56 °C for BRCA1 and 62°C for RAD51C for 10 s and 72 °C for 15 s; followed by an HRM step of 95 °C for 15 s, 60 °C for 1 min and continuous acquisition to 95°. PCR was performed in a final volume of 20 pL, containing 10 pL LightCycler 480 HRM Master (Roche Diagnostics), 1 pL EpiMelt primer Mix, 2.4 pL MgCh, 0.6 pL H2O, and 6 pL of bisulfite modified DNA template. A methylation positive, an assay calibration, and a methylation negative control were supplied with the EpiMelt Kit (Methyldetect, Aalborg, Denmark). The assay calibration control was included to ensure the assay sensitivity to detect methylation of 1% in each experiment.Data and statistical analyses

[0175] A Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney nonparametric test was used to assess the SV count differences between two groups of samples. Correlation analyses were performed with a Spearman's test to calculate R2and P. P values < 0.05 were considered significant. The significance of the Pvalues was annotated on graphs as * if P < 0.05, ** if P < 0.005, *** if P < 0.001 and **** if P < 0.0001.

[0176] A least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression model was used to build the HRD classifier and the BRCAHBRCA2 sub-classifier from counts of all significant SV features / types / subtypes. Leave-one-out cross-validation was used to select the penalty X, using the cv.glmnet function from the R glmnet package. The minimizing the prediction errors (lambda.min) were 0.0028 and 0.0031, respectively. A glmnet function was used with the optimal X to calculate each coefficient.

[0177] The HRD classifier returns the probability (P) of a sample being HRD:where y = -8.7302 + (Q.6^>19-Isolated_TRA) + (0.1720 -Balanced TRA) + (-0.1764 -D UP INVplus) .

[0178] The sample is declared HRD if P(HRD) > 0.55, nonHRD if P(HRD) < 0.45 and borderline otherwise.

[0179] The BRCAU2 sub-classifier returns the probability of a sample being BRCA1 inactivated:1P(BRG41) =where y = 0.8959 + (0 A1W-DUP < 25 kb) + (-0.1319-DEL < 25 kb).

[0180] The sample is classified as BRCA1 inactivated ifP ~ (BRCAP) > 0.55, BRCA2-\\ e if ?(PjRCAl) < 0.45 and borderline otherwise. Predictions for both models were performed using the predict function from the R stats package.Additional Considerations

[0181] In at least some of the previously described embodiments, one or more elements used in an embodiment can interchangeably be used in another embodiment unless such a replacement is not technically feasible. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various other omissions, additions and modifications may be made to the methods and structures described above without departing from the scope of the claimed subject matter. All such modifications and changes are intended to fall within the scope of the subject matter, as defined by the appended claims.

[0182] One skilled in the art will appreciate that, for this and other processes and methods disclosed herein, the functions performed in the processes and methods can be implemented indiffering order. Furthermore, the outlined steps and operations are only provided as examples, and some of the steps and operations can be optional, combined into fewer steps and operations, or expanded into additional steps and operations without detracting from the essence of the disclosed embodiments.

[0183] With respect to the use of substantially any plural and / or singular terms herein, those having skill in the art can translate from the plural to the singular and / or from the singular to the plural as is appropriate to the context and / or application. The various singular / plural permutations may be expressly set forth herein for sake of clarity. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Accordingly, phrases such as “a device configured to” are intended to include one or more recited devices. Such one or more recited devices can also be collectively configured to carry out the stated recitations. For example, “a processor configured to carry out recitations A, B and C can include a first processor configured to carry out recitation A and working in conjunction with a second processor configured to carry out recitations B and C. Any reference to “or” herein is intended to encompass “and / or” unless otherwise stated.

It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to embodiments containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an” (e.g., “a” and / or “an” should be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without other modifiers, means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where aconvention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “ a system having at least one of A, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and / or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “ a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and / or A, B, and C together, etc.).
