• NIDDK International IBD Genetics Consortium Repository Global Screening Array

  The purpose of this GWAS meta-analysis is to assess IBD risk alleles using data collected by members of the International IBD Genetics Consortium and their collaborators around the world. Data from over 30 cohorts have been identified and are being combined for analysis. Genotyping has been conducted using a variety of chips with most samples genotyped using GSAMD-24v1-0 or GSA-CHO-Custom. Individual level genotype data will be made available whenever possible (some groups are only able to provide summary statistics due to institutional and/or governmental restrictions on data sharing), together with information on sex, self-reported ancestry, IBD affection status and diagnosis. This first batch includes data from North American sites who are members of the NIDDK-funded IBD Genetics Consortium. Additional data will be provided in an update as soon as they have gone through the QC process.

• Methylation Profiles of Cell-Free DNA Using Nanopore Sequencing

  Epigenetic characterization of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is an emerging approach for detecting and characterizing diseases such as cancer. We developed a strategy using nanopore-based single-molecule sequencing to measure cfDNA methylomes. This approach generated up to hundreds of millions of reads for a single cfDNA sample from cancer patients, an order of magnitude improvement over existing nanopore sequencing methods. We developed a single-molecule classifier to determine whether individual reads originated from a tumor or immune cells. Leveraging methylomes of matched tumors and immune cells, we characterized cfDNA methylomes of cancer patients for longitudinal monitoring during treatment.Control subjects consist of healthy individuals without a positive diagnosis of cancer. cfDNA was obtained through purification of plasma from blood draws. Genomic DNA (gDNA) was derived from extraction of primary tumor tissue or from leukocytes from blood draws.

• Genomic analysis of primary plasma cell leukemia reveals complex structural alterations and high risk mutational patterns

  Primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) is a rare and aggressive form of multiple myeloma (MM) that is characterized by poor overall survival despite advances in anti-MM therapy. The disease biology as well as molecular mechanisms that distinguish pPCL from non-pPCL MM remain poorly understood. In an attempt to identify key biological mechanisms that result in the aggressive pPCL phenotype we performed whole exome sequencing in 23 patients with newly diagnosed pPCL. The results reveal an enrichment of complex structural changes and high risk mutational patterns in pPCL that explain, at least in part, the aggressive nature of the disease. In particular pPCL patients with traditional low risk features such as translocation t(11;14) or hyperdiploidy accumulated adverse risk genetic events that could account for the poor outcome in this group.

• Sexual dimorphism in human immune system aging

  We isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 172 community-dwelling healthy volunteers (91 women, 81 men) ages spanning adult lifespan: 54 young (ages 22-40: 23 men, 31 women), 59 middle-aged (ages 41-64: 31 men, 28 women), and 59 older subjects (65+: 27 men, 32 women). PBMCs were profiled using ATAC-seq (54 men, 66 women), RNA-seq (41 men, 34 women), and flow cytometry (62 men, 67 women). Flow cytometry data is publicly available, genomic data for 121 individuals are provided here. These datasets revealed immune system aging signatures in men and women and showed in which ways aging differentially affects the immune systems of men and women. A subset of these samples have been generated and analyzed previously and can be found at EGA (EGAS00001002605). This dataset on dbGaP include EGA samples as well.

• Whole Genome and Exon Capture Sequencing of Bladder Cancers

  One primary bladder cancer and paired peripheral blood sample were subjected to whole genome sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. This technology was utilized to investigate the genetic basis of a durable remission of metastatic bladder cancer in a patient treated with everolimus, a drug that inhibits the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling pathway. Among the somatic mutations found was a loss-of-function mutation in TSC1 (Tuberous Sclerosis Complex 1), a regulator of mTOR pathway activation. Targeted sequencing using an exon capture and sequencing assay was performed on 13 tumors derived from patients on the same everolimus trial as the index patient and the sequencing data from these tumors is included. TSC1 mutation status was correlated with response to everolimus. The index patient responder tumor and peripheral blood DNA were also subjected to exon capture and sequencing.

• The genomic complexity of sporadic and inherited retinoblastoma with a matched orthotopic xenograft

  Retinoblastoma is a pediatric cancer of the developing retina. All retinoblastomas are believed to initiate with biallelic inactivation of the RB1 gene. To identify subsequent genetic lesions in retinoblastoma, we performed whole genome sequencing of tumor and normal DNA of 4 children with retinoblastoma and one matched orthotopic xenograft. Both alleles of RB1 were inactivated in the tumor samples. 3 of the patients had sporadic retinoblastoma and one patient had inherited retinoblastoma. Overall, there were few single nucleotide changes in coding regions of the genome and some of the tumors had few chromosomal lesions. There were very few new genetic lesions in the xenograft compared to the primary tumor. These data suggest that the genome in retinoblastoma is more stable than previously believed and there are relatively few recurrent genetic lesions in known cancer pathways other than the RB1 pathway.

• Single-Cell Multi-Omic Analysis of the Vestibular Schwannoma Ecosystem Uncovers a Nerve Injury-Like State

  Vestibular schwannomas are benign tumors that can lead to significant morbidity, including hearing loss, facial nerve paralysis and obstructive hydrocephalus. The genomic landscape of vestibular schwannomas is relatively bland and the molecular pathophysiology of vestibular schwannomas is poorly understood. Therefore, we performed single cell RNA sequencing on 15 sporadic vestibular schwannomas, with paired single cell ATAC sequencing (n = 6) and whole exome sequencing (n = 12) to perform a detailed characterization of the vestibular schwannoma tumor microenvironment at the transcriptional and epigenetic level. We validated our results by analyzing bulk RNA sequencing data from 22 newly sequenced vestibular schwannomas and 173 previously sequenced bulk RNA sequencing data from 195 vestibular schwannomas. Data available in dbGaP include whole exome sequencing of 12 tumors and matched blood samples. Matching single cell RNA sequencing and single cell ATAC sequencing data is available via NCBI GEO.

• A Human Lymphoma Organoid Model for Evaluating and Targeting the Follicular Lymphoma Tumor Immune Microenvironment

  Heterogeneity in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of follicular lymphoma (FL) can affect clinical outcomes. We developed a new organoid culture method for cultivating patient-derived lymphoma organoids (PDLOs), which include cells from the native FL TME. We generated organoids from 12 FL patients at diagnosis, clinical progression, or relapse. These organoids were profiled with targeted DNA sequencing and mRNA sequencing. We evaluated the stability of organoids in culture at serial weekly timepoints (D0, D7, D14, D21). We treated organoids with CD19:CD3 or CD20:CD3 bispecific antibodies or unconjugated anti-CD20, anti-CD19, and anti-CD3 as a control, and profiled DNA/RNA at D11 to evaluate treatment response. This system is intended as a platform for advancing precision medicine efforts in FL through patient-specific modeling, high-throughput screening, TME signature identification, and treatment response evaluation.

• Genomic Tumor Correlates of Clinical Outcomes Following Organ-Sparing Chemoradiation Therapy for Bladder Cancer

  Bladder preservation with trimodality therapy (TMT), consisting of transurethral tumor resection followed by chemoradiation, is an alternative to radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), but molecular determinants of response are poorly understood. Patients with cT2-T4aN0M0 MIBC treated with definitive-intent chemoradiation as part of TMT were retrospectively identified from a single institution between 1986-2015. Pre-treatment Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tumors from 76 MIBC patients were subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES). Our integrated analysis yielded insights into molecular features associated with favorable long-term response to TMT, including alterations in DNA damage response genes. Of these, mutations in ERCC2, a DNA helicase in the nucleotide excision repair pathway, were significantly associated with improved long-term outcomes after TMT, particularly in patients who received concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
