• Whole Exome Sequencing in Familial Parkinson Disease

  We have an ongoing study that has recruited families having at least a sibling pair with Parkinson disease (PD). Families have been screened for mutations in known PD causative genes (LRRK2, parkin, etc). Following review of families without a causative mutation, we selected families for whole exome sequencing that had the strongest history of PD and with the most definitive diagnosis. All families have at least 3 affected family members who were evaluated as part of this study. Only affected family members were included for whole exome sequencing.

• Molecular Genetics of Heterotaxy and Related Congenital Heart Defects

  Heterotaxy syndrome is a congenital anomaly syndrome accompanied by thoracic and abdominal situs abnormalities. The study cohort comprises of individuals with heterotaxy or related congenital heart disease (CHD) who have undergone exome sequencing. The purpose of the study is to elucidate the molecular genetics of the disorder as well as contribute to knowledge about the biology of normal and abnormal development of left-right anatomic asymmetry. These results will further help delineate genotype-phenotype associations and provide important information on the causes, management, and prognosis of heterotaxy syndrome.

• Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors for Hemorrhagic Stroke (GERFHS)

  GERFHS is a population-based, case-control study of hemorrhagic stroke in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region. Cases are recruited from within 50 miles of the University of Cincinnati and population-based controls are matched to cases by age (+/- 5 years), race and gender from the same population as cases. All study participants are of self-reported non-Hispanic Caucasian ethnicity and the data show consistency with the principal component projections. The current submission includes genome wide genotyping on a subset of these cases and controls.

• Genome-Wide Characterization of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Patients Using Next Generation Sequencing

  In this study, we whole genome sequenced tumor/normal pairs from three pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients to separately characterize each patient with respect to somatic alterations. For 2 patients for whom tumor RNA was available, we also performed RNA sequencing to evaluate gene expression changes. While additional sequencing is needed to improve our understanding of the disease, the information acquired from this study contributes to our knowledge base on pancreatic cancer and helps to establish a foundation for identifying and developing more efficacious treatments for patients.

• Novel Approach to High-Throughput Identification and Characterization of Neoantigens

  This study focuses on the development of novel approach for the screening, identification and characterization of neoantigen-specific T-cell receptors (TCRs). The developed method consists of collecting targeted RNA-Seq from a T-cell specific gene panel via 3' end Illumina sequencing combined to Oxford Nanopore based full-length TCR sequencing post T-cell activation. The data generated during this study demonstrates feasibility of the approach on a Jurkat control cell line as well as T-cells isolated from the blood of 3 independent healthy donors.

• Genetics of Antinuclear Antibodies

  Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are antibodies that react against self-antigens in the cell. While it has been reported that 12 to 20% of the general population have a positive ANA test, the genetics of ANA positivity is unknown. We performed a genome wide-association study for positive ANA tests among individuals without an ANA related autoimmune disease in the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) DNA biobank linked to the de-identified electronic health record (EHR) system. The study is funded by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin diseases (NIAMS) grant R01AR076516.

• ATAC sequencing of Treg cell subsets

  Within the investigator-initiated clinical trial Charact-IL-2 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03312335), we treated 12 female systemic lupus erythematosus patients with low-dose interleukin-2. From this study we identified four distinct interleukin-2-driven regulatory T (Treg) cell subsets. This study aimed at defining chromatin accessability and predict transcriptional regulation of HLA-DR– CD38– Treg cells, HLA-DR+ CD38– Treg cells, HLA-DR– CD38+ Treg cells, and HLA-DR+ CD38+ Treg cells. Treg cell subsets were isolated from 500ml blood pooled from four healthy donors by flow cytometry sorting.

• Single-cell targeted DNA-sequencing and protein sequencing

  We performed single-cell targeted DNA sequencing (MissionBio) on 13 high hyperdiploid B-ALL patients at diagnosis to study the genetic heterogeneity. For a number of patients single-cell surface protein antibody sequencing was added (DAB-seq) to better characterize the different cell types. Furthermore, additional samples during treatment were collected and analysed for some patients. In this way we want to study the clonal heterogeneity of these B-ALL samples, based both on mutations and CNVs, and identify resistant clones that could be targeted after relapse.

• Transcriptomic profiling of fragile X syndrome unmethylated full mutation carriers

  Total RNA sequencing of fibroblasts from two unrelated FMR1 unmethylated full mutation carriers, a fragile X patient and a control individual. The existence of rare, unmethylated full mutation carriers who carry the mutation that causes fragile X syndrome but do not gain methylation at the locus offers a rare opportunity to study the mechanisms underlying fragile X syndrome. This study aims to compare the transcriptomes of these four individuals in order to elucidate the mechanism behind the methylation a the FMR1 CGG repeat expansion that causes Fragile X syndrome.

• Papua New Guinean Lowlanders Dataset

  High-coverage whole genome sequences were collected to study patterns of genomic variation across the southern lowland of Papua New Guinea. This region has experienced an extremely complex demographic history, including repeated bouts of admixture with archaic and modern human groups. This dataset reports whole genome sequences for 41 individuals from this region. Particular attention has been paid in the original study to genomic signals that are informative for population history, including admixture with archaic hominins and the role of modern human admixture during the late Pleistocene and Holocene.
