saw in time the opportunity for a bigger piece of the action
active in civil and industrial construction
announced via domestic media outlets that it would begin works in September on the first solar power plant in a portfolio of four units
The facility in the Bolintin-Deal commune in Giurgiu county would have 40 MW
The firm scheduled the start of installation of the three remaining ones for early next year
An 80 MW photovoltaic facility is planned to be built in Joiţa commune
The last solar park would be in Bolintin-Vale
All the sites are in the Giurgiu area in the Muntenia region and are just a few kilometers from each other
RICHRBT pointed to the significance of its project pipeline for the local economy in terms of job creation and attracting investments in renewables
“In the next three years we want to establish another 12 parks
because we want to reach a total capacity of 900 MW by 2027
I hope we have the appropriate support from a legislative point of view and from the Romanian Government,” said Reman Henk Jonah Rutger
He said the firm is committed to continuing to invest in sustainable and innovative projects
As for other developments in the sector in Romania, Greece-based Public Power Corp. (PPC) began the construction of a 140 MW wind farm
There are more acquisitions of mature projects as well
The EUR 3.25 million deal was actually agreed three years ago, Economica.net reported
Earlier, Econergy received the approval for the connection of its solar power project for 34 MW in peak capacity to the transmission grid
The Mircea Vodă site is in Dobrogea or Dobruja
A subsidiary of the Israeli company also got network connection terms for a 27 MW solar park in Dobrogea
It expects it would bring both facilities online next year
Shikun and Binui Energy secured a EUR 49 million loan a month ago for a 101 MW photovoltaic endeavor in the northwest
It also has a new transmission network connection approval for its proposed Gold-Wind wind farm of 376 MW near Constanța
its target completion date is by the end of 2028
recently bought a 46 MW photovoltaic park in Constanța county and obtained the connection approval for a 245 MW solar power plant in Giurgiu county
The latter is called Tălgat and it is slated to be completed by the end of 2028
Bellini has been present in the market since early 1990s

Metrics details
Metastatic cancer is a major cause of death and is associated with poor treatment efficacy
A better understanding of the characteristics of late-stage cancer is required to help adapt personalized treatments
pan-cancer study of metastatic solid tumour genomes
including whole-genome sequencing data for 2,520 pairs of tumour and normal tissue
and surveying more than 70 million somatic variants
The characteristic mutations of metastatic lesions varied widely
with mutations that reflect those of the primary tumour types
and with high rates of whole-genome duplication events (56%)
Individual metastatic lesions were relatively homogeneous
with the vast majority (96%) of driver mutations being clonal and up to 80% of tumour-suppressor genes being inactivated bi-allelically by different mutational mechanisms
Although metastatic tumour genomes showed similar mutational landscape and driver genes to primary tumours
we find characteristics that could contribute to responsiveness to therapy or resistance in individual patients
We implement an approach for the review of clinically relevant associations and their potential for actionability
we identify genetic variants that may be used to stratify patients towards therapies that either have been approved or are in clinical trials
This demonstrates the importance of comprehensive genomic tumour profiling for precision medicine in cancer
a better understanding of metastatic cancer genomes will be highly valuable to improve on adapting treatments for late-stage cancers
Only tumour types with more than ten samples are shown (n = 2,350 independent patients)
and are ranked from the lowest to the highest overall SNV mutation burden (TMB)
we found extensive variation in the mutational load of up to three orders of magnitude both within and across cancer types
The variation for MNVs was even greater, with lung (median of 821) and skin (median of 764) tumours having five times the median MNV counts of any other tumour type. This can be explained by the well-known mutational effect of UV radiation (CC>TT) and smoking (CC>AA) mutational signatures, respectively (Extended Data Fig. 2)
Although only dinucleotide substitutions are typically reported as MNVs
10.7% of the MNVs involve three nucleotides and 0.6% had four or more nucleotides affected
CNS tumours also have a higher mutational load that is explained by the different age distributions of the cohorts
Proportion of samples with amplification and deletion events by genomic position pan-cancer
The inner ring shows the percentage of tumours with homozygous deletion (orange)
LOH and significant loss (copy number < 0.6× sample ploidy; dark blue) and near copy neutral LOH (light blue)
Outer ring shows percentage of tumours with high level amplification (>3× sample ploidy; orange)
moderate amplification (>2× sample ploidy; dark green) and low level amplification (>1.4× amplification; light green)
The scale on both rings is 0–100% and inverted for the inner ring
The most frequently observed high-level gene amplifications (black text) and homozygous deletions (red text) are shown
Proportion of tumours with a WGD event (dark blue)
Sample ploidy distribution over the complete cohort for samples with and without WGD
although the involvement of individual genes has not been established
the mechanism for LOH in TP53 is highly specific to tumour type
with ovarian cancers exhibiting LOH of the full chromosome 17 in 75% of samples
whereas in prostate cancer (also 70% LOH for TP53) this is nearly always caused by highly focal deletions
homozygous deletions are nearly always restricted to small chromosomal regions
Not a single example was found in which a complete autosomal arm was homozygously deleted
Homozygous deletions of genes are also surprisingly rare: we found only a mean of 2.0 instances per tumour in which one or several consecutive genes are fully or partially homozygously deleted
Loss of chromosome Y is a special case and is deleted in 36% of all male tumour genomes but varies strongly between tumour types
from 5% deleted in CNS tumours to 68% deleted in biliary tumours (Extended Data Fig
we identified a recurrent in-frame deletion of the complete exon 3 in 12 samples
these deletions were homozygous but thought to be activating as CTNNB1 normally acts as an oncogene in the WNT and β-catenin pathway and none of these nine colorectal samples had any APC driver mutations
We also identified several significantly deleted genes not previously reported
including MLLT4 (n = 13) and PARD3 (n = 9)
is also highly amplified in our cohort with 20 out of 22 amplified samples found in colorectal cancer
representing 5.4% of all colorectal samples

and for germline predisposition variants (c)

Violin plot showing the distribution of the number of drivers per sample grouped by tumour type (number of patients per tumour type is provided)
Black dots indicate the mean values for each tumour type
Relative bar chart showing the breakdown per cancer type of the type of alteration
we also found twofold more amplification drivers in samples with WGD events despite amplifications being defined as relative to the average genome ploidy
The 189 germline variants identified in 29 cancer predisposition genes (present in 7.9% of the cohort) consisted of 8 deletions and 181 point mutations (Fig. 3c, Supplementary Table 6)
The top five affected genes (containing nearly 80% of variants) were the well-known germline drivers CHEK2
The corresponding wild-type alleles were found to be lost in the tumour sample in more than half of the cases
indicating a high penetrance for these variants
or a point mutation in combination with LOH (41%)
the highest observed in any large-scale WGS cancer study
the biallelic inactivation rate is almost 100%—TP53 (93%)
PTEN (92%) and SMAD4 (96%)—which suggests that biallelic genetic inactivation of these genes is a strong requirement for metastatic cancer
the other allele may also be inactivated by non-mutational epigenetic mechanisms
or tumorigenesis may be driven via a haploinsufficiency mechanism
We examined the pairwise co-occurrence of driver gene mutations per cancer type and found ten combinations of genes that were significantly mutually exclusively mutated, and ten combinations of genes that were significantly concurrently mutated (Extended Data Fig. 10)
Although most of these relationships are well established
we found new positive relationship for GATA3–VMP1 (q = 6 × 10−5) and FOXA1–PIK3CA (q = 3 × 10−3)
and negative relationships for ESR1–TP53 (q = 9 × 10−4) and GATA3–TP53 (q = 5 × 10−5)
These findings will need further validation and experimental follow-up to understand the underlying biology
Percentage of samples in each cancer type with a putative candidate actionable mutation based on data in the CGI
Level A represents presence of biomarkers with either an approved therapy or guidelines
and level B represents biomarkers with strong biological evidence or clinical trials that indicate that they are actionable
On-label indicates treatment registered by federal authorities for that tumour type
whereas off-label indicates a registration for other tumour types
Break down of the actionable variants by variant type
with data from 4,000 patients already available
and includes data that go beyond the basic clinical and genomic data analysed in this paper such as post-biopsy treatments and responses
Genomic testing of tumours faces numerous challenges in meeting clinical needs
including the interpretation of variants of unknown significance
the steadily expanding universe of actionable genes—often with an increasingly small fraction of patients affected—and the development of advanced genome-derived biomarkers such as tumour mutational load
DNA repair status and mutational signatures
Our results demonstrate that WGS analyses of metastatic cancer can provide novel and relevant insights and are instrumental in addressing some of the key challenges of precision medicine in cancer
we demonstrate the importance of accounting for all types of variant
including large-scale genomic rearrangements (via fusions and copy number alteration events)
which account for more than half of all drivers
but also activating MNVs and indels that we have shown are commonly found in many key oncogenes
even with very strict variant calling criteria
we could find candidate driver variants in more than 98% of all metastatic tumours
including predicted putatively actionable events in a clinical and experimental setting for up to 62% of patients
Although we did not find metastatic tumour genomes to be fundamentally different from primary tumours in terms of the mutational landscape or genes that drive advanced tumorigenesis
we described characteristics that could contribute to responsiveness to therapy or resistance in individual patients
we showed that WGD events are a more pervasive element of tumorigenesis than previously understood
affecting over half of all metastatic cancers
We also found metastatic lesions to be less heterogeneous than reported for primary tumours
although the limited sequencing depth does not allow conclusions to be made about low-frequency subclonal variants
providing enhanced cancer subtype stratification and revealing characteristic genomic differences between primary and metastatic tumours
As the Hartwig Medical cohort includes a mix of treatment-naive metastatic patients and patients who have undergone (extensive) previous systemic treatments
it provides unique opportunities to study responses and resistance to treatments and discover predictive biomarkers
as these data are available for discovery and validation studies
A detailed description of methods and validations is available as Supplementary Information
No statistical methods were used to predetermine sample size
and investigators were not blinded to allocation during experiments and outcome assessment
Patients have given explicit consent for whole-genome sequencing and data sharing for cancer research purposes
Core needle biopsies were sampled from the metastatic lesion
or when considered not feasible or not safe
from the primary tumour site and frozen in liquid nitrogen
A single 6-μm section was collected for haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and estimation of tumour cellularity by an experienced pathologist and 25 sections of 20-μm were collected in a tube for DNA isolation
DNA) was stored in biobanks associated with the studies at the University Medical Center Utrecht and the Netherlands Cancer Institute
To assess the effect of sequencing depth on variant calling sensitivity
we downsampled the BAMS of 10 samples at random by 50% and reran the identical somatic variant calling pipeline
ASCAT was run on GC-corrected data using default parameters except for gamma
which was set to 1 (which is recommended for massively parallel sequencing data)
We implement a simple heuristic that determines if a WGD event has occurred: major allele ploidy > 1.5 on at least 50% of at least 11 autosomes as the number of duplicated autosomes per sample (that is
the number of autosomes which satisfy the above rule) follows a bimodal distribution with 95% of samples have either ≤6 or ≥15 autosomes duplicated
samples were filtered out based on absence of somatic variants
yielding a high-quality dataset of 2,520 samples
Where multiple biopsies exist for a single patient
the highest purity sample was used for downstream analyses (resulting in 2,399 samples)
Residuals were calculated as the sum of the absolute difference between observed and fitted across the 96 buckets
Signatures with <5% overall contribution to a sample or absolute fitted mutational load <300 variants were excluded from the summary plot
selected because these are the only additional genes from the larger list of 152 genes with a significantly increased proportion of called germline variants with loss of wild type in the tumour sample
The ploidy of each variant is calculated by adjusting the observed VAF by the purity and then multiplying by the local copy number to work out the absolute number of chromatids that contain the variant
no wild type remaining) if variant ploidy > local copy number − 0.5
we also determine a probability that it is subclonal
This is achieved via a two-step process involving fitting the somatic ploidies for each sample into a set of clonal and subclonal peaks and calculating the probability that each individual variant belongs to each peak
Subclonal counts are calculated as the total density of the subclonal peaks for each sample
Subclonal driver counts are calculated as the sum across the driver catalogue of subclonal probability × driver likelihood
trinucleotide and tetranucleotide sequences of repeat count four or more
To identify significantly mutated genes in our cohort
we used a strict significance cut-off value of q < 0.01
Most of the deletion peaks resolve clearly to a single target gene
which reflects the fact that homozygous deletions are highly focal
but for amplifications this is not the case and most of our peaks have ten or more candidates
to choose a single putative target gene using an objective set of automated curation rules
filtering was applied to yield highly significant deletions and amplifications
personal communication) in which we first calculated the number of genes with putative driver mutations in a broad panel of known and significantly mutated genes across the full cohort
and then assigned the candidate driver mutations for each gene to individual patients by ranking and prioritizing each of the observed variants
Key points of difference in this study were both the prioritization mechanism used and our choice to ascribe each mutation a probability of being a driver rather than a binary cut-off based on absolute ranking
(2) Determine TSG or oncogene status of each significantly mutated gene using a logistic regression classification model (trained using COSMIC annotation)
(4) Calculate a per-sample likelihood score (between 0 and 1) for each mutation in the catalogue as a potential driver event
to ensure that only likely pathogenic and excess mutations (based on dN/dS) are used to determine the number of drivers
All putative driver mutation counts reported at a per-cancer type or sample level refer to the sum of driver likelihoods for that cancer type or sample
For each candidate actionable mutation in each sample
we aggregated all the mapped evidence that was available supporting both on-label and off-label treatments at the A or B evidence level
Treatments that also had evidence supporting resistance based on other biomarkers in the sample at the same or higher evidence level were excluded as non-actionable
Samples classified as MSI in our driver catalogue were also mapped as actionable at level A evidence based on clinical annotation in the OncoKB database
we reported the highest level of predicted actionability
ranked first by evidence level and then by on-label vs off-label

Sample workflow from patient to high-quality WGS data
A total of 4,018 patients were enrolled in the study between April 2016 and April 2018
no blood and/or biopsy material was obtained
mostly because conditions of patients prohibited further study participation
Up to four fresh-frozen biopsies were obtained per patient
and were sequentially analysed to identify a biopsy with more than 30% tumour cellularity as determined by routine histology assessment
and 2,796 patients were further processed for WGS analysis
44 and 29 samples failed in either DNA isolation or library preparation and raw WGS data quality control tests
but the determination of tumour purity based on WGS data (PURity & PLoidy Estimator; PURPLE) was less than 20%
making reliable and comprehensive somatic variant calling impossible and were therefore excluded
2,338 pairs of tumour and normal tissue samples with high-quality WGS data were obtained
which were supplemented with 182 pairs from pre-April 2016
adding up to 2,520 pairs of tumour and normal samples that were included in this study
Tumour biopsies were taken from a broad range of locations

continues it series of innovation in terms of OOH and launches the first planning programmatic app SETI (Integrated Traffic Extended System)
This instrument is the result of an ample study conducted along with D&D Research and that has set as a goal to identify the demographic profile of the people passing along the 43 transit locations in Bucharest
“For the first time in Romania we have an instrument that can offer us a demographic profile, on hours, for OOH. We have installed cameras on all our screens and with the help of a perimeter measurement soft we quantify the registered traffic in the locations where we are present with TV screens,” said Dio Boaca, general director of Phoenix Media.
The 30 screens owned by Phoenix Media have two or three cameras that are recording and counting in real time
The SETI application counts only the people for whom there is a high probability to see the screened spot on the TV screen
Only those heading towards the screen are counted
Phoenix Media knows exactly which type of target they are addressing and what are the chances of the target audience to see the spots
“This is the most complex traffic study in the history of Bucharest
We took in account three different times of the day and we’ve interviewed both pedestrians and drivers
the biggest traffic in Bucharest is recorded at the Tineretului intersection (3.312.411 general impression in Decembrie 2015); Piata Universitatii (The University Square) is present in the top busiest locations due to the fact that the people mainly use the pedestian passage and are not counted by the cameras; the Pipera area has a profile formed of : 70 percent men
and the Piata Domenii (Domenii Market) and Mircea Voda are tranzited by people with medium through righ income,” explained Dan Petre
The SETI application is user friendly and allows the clients to have real time access to the status of the campaign they are running.
the company has offered the market many premieres and is
the only one that offers personalized targeting

after Enel Distributie Banat and Enel Distribuție Dobrogea changed their names to E-Distribuție Banat and E-Distributie Dobrogea
