• Tamoxifen Response at Single Cell Resolution in Estrogen Receptor Positive Primary Human Breast Tumors

  Primary breast tissue, normal and cancerous, was collected immediately after resection. The tissue was dissociated and treated with 10uM tamoxifen or control media for 12 hours in suspension. Single cell libraries were then created using a 10x Genomics gel bead droplet-based kit and sequenced via Illumina sequencing platforms. Differences in cell response to tamoxifen was observed between cell types and distinct responsive and unresponsive cell populations were determined.

• Autosomal recessive

  To define a genetic syndrome of combined immunodeficiency, severe autoimmunity, and developmental delay, 4 patients from two families who had similar syndromic features were studied. To identify disease-causing mutations, we performed whole exome sequencing for one patient and her healthy parent from Family 1 and also for one patient from Family 2. Disease segregated with novel autosomal recessive mutations in a single gene, tripeptidyl-peptidase II (TPP2) gene. The result defines a new human metabolic immunodeficiency.

• Anonymized germline variants of prospectively characterized clinical cancer specimens

  These clinical specimens represent solid tumors and matched blood controls that were collected as part of patients' routine care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. They were sequenced on the targeted platform MSK-IMPACT. Here, we performed germline variant calling on the normal blood specimens and assessed their zygosity in the concomitant tumor specimens for comprehensive exploration of the landscape of pathogenic germline variants in patients with advanced cancer.

• Molecular genetic analysis of inherited kidney dysfunction

  Samples were chosen for sequencing from a set of probands from pedigrees with apparently inherited forms of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Several genes have been identified which when mutated cause FSGS under both recessive and dominant inheritance patterns. These known genes are estimated to explain less than 50% of inherited FSGS. We chose samples from individuals in which previous analyses of known disease genes failed to identify likely disease-causing mutations.

• Genetics of Schizophrenia in an Ashkenazi Jewish Case-Control Cohort

  Schizophrenia is characterized by high heritability (~80%), yet the identification of susceptibility genes has proven extremely challenging. The Ashkenazi Jewish population, derived from a limited number of founders, may be enriched for a subset of susceptibility alleles, which may also have higher odds ratios than those detected by previous studies. GWAS was conducted in a large Ashkenazi case-control cohort, derived from the Hebrew University Genetic Resource, using the Illumina HumanOmni1-Quad BeadChip.

• RNA Sequencing of Pulmonary Arterial Endothelial Cells in Pulmonary Hypertensive Patients and Controls

  The transcriptome of pulmonary arterial endothelial cells from healthy lungs and from lungs of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension have been analyzed and specific differences in disease-relevant pathways were identified. The genes identified as altered in these patients have direct effects on pulmonary arterial endothelial cell function. This finding may underlie the inability of the pulmonary vasculature to respond to and repair the damage observed in pulmonary hypertension.

• The Immunogenetics of Measles Immunity - Measles (MMR) vaccination (NIAID/NIH)

  To examine the role of gene polymorphisms (including functional studies of SNPs) on variations in vaccine-induced immune responses, in approximately 3,000 healthy school-age children, adolescents and young adults/adults, who were vaccinated with measles-containing vaccine (MMR). To achieve greatest power to detect SNPs associated with measles-specific immune response phenotypes, we pooled our data across three genotyping platforms and three cohorts (US cohort, San Diego cohort and Rochester cohort).

• Stand Up 2 Cancer (SU2C) Genomics-Enabled Medicine for Melanoma (GEMM) Trial

  The goal of the GEMM Trial is to ascertain if comprehensive and systematic interrogation of a patient's tumor molecular profile improves outcomes compared to the current practice of physician's choice for metastatic melanoma patients who have progressed following first line therapy. The data shared here includes tumor/normal exome and tumor RNAseq data for the trial patients, as well as archival data for a subset of patients.

• Invariant patterns of clonal succession determine specific clinical features of Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)

  Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) are heterogeneous myeloid neoplasms, characterized by stepwise acquisitions of multiple somatic mutations. Mutational configurations (e.g. bi-allelic) and specific distributions, timing of acquisitions corresponding to rank within the clonal hierarchy, and combinatorial spectrum are not elucidated. Therefore, we conducted targeted deep sequencing in a panel of the 36 most frequently mutated "myeloid" genes in terms more than of 500 patients with MDS or related myeloid neoplasms.

• Mutational Landscape of MCPyV-Positive and MCPyV-Negative Merkel Cell Carcinomas

  Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin most commonly found on the sun-exposed skin of older Caucasian adults. Roughly one-third of patients with MCCs die of the disease; therefore, MCC is the most lethal skin cancer on a case-by-case basis. 49 cases were studied, and putative cancer driver gene mutations and tumor antigens in both MCPyV-negative and MCPyV-positive MCCs were identified.
