• Identification_of_low_frequency_variants_associated_with_ulcerative_colitis_using_whole_genome_sequencing

  2000 ulcerative colitis cases drawn from the UKIBD Genetics Consortium cohort and whole-genome sequenced at 2X depth. A case control association study using control samples whole-genome sequenced by UK10K will be undertaken to identify common, low-frequency and rare variants associated with ulcerative colitis. Data will be combined with similar data across 3000 Crohn's disease cases from the same cohort to identify inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) loci and better understand the genetic differences and similarities of the two common forms of IBD.

• MutWP5__CRUK_Mutographs_of_Cancer__Breast__Cancer_Mastectomy__Exome_

  Sequencing of LCM-derived microbiopsies from 30 women who underwent mastectomies due to a breast cancer diagnosis. Goal to assess the mutational burden, spectrum, and clonal dynamics within the tissue. Exome data will be used as a driver and clonality screen, highly clonal or driver-containing samples will subsequently be sent for whole-genome sequencing. Results from this portion of the study will be compared to women who had cosmetic breast reduction surgeries and those with germline BRCA 1/2 mutations.

• Exome_Sequencing__to_Identify_Causes_of_Leukaemia_Predisposing_Congenital_Neutropenias

  The objective of this study is to identify the causative genes in two unrelated congenital neutropenia families. We aim to whole exome sequence the affected individuals, unaffected siblings and parents in both cases in an effort to idenitfy the causative genetic mutation. Exome capture will be performed using Agilent SureSelect system. Subsequently, exome libraries will sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq platform. Sequence variant calling will be done in house and common variants excluded using public databases and data from unaffected family members.

• Next generation sequencing of sporadic schwannomatosis samples

  Schwannomatosis (MIM #162091) is characterized by the development of multiple schwannomas without vestibular nerve involvement (which is a characteristic of neurofibromatosis type 2 - NF2). In an effort to detect novel genetic alterations predisposing to schwannomatosis, we sequenced eight tumor-blood DNA pairs from de novo schwannomatosis patients. The results of our study are present in the paper "Whole exome sequencing reveals that the majority of schwannomatosis cases remain unexplained after excluding SMARCB1 and LZTR1 germline variants" published in Acta Neuropathologica (PMID:25008767)

• Targeted sequencing of brain expressed miRNA genes

  As regulators of gene expression, microRNAs (miRNAs) are likely to play an important role in the development of disease. In this study we present a large-scale strategy to identify miRNAs with a role in the regulation of neuronal processes by screening 289 brain expressed miRNAs. Thereby we found variant rs7861254 located near the MIR204 gene to be significantly associated with schizophrenia. This variant resulted in reduced expression of miR-204 in neuronal-like SH-SY5Y cells.

• Hip OA Functional Genomics

  The aim of this work is to apply an integrated systems approach to understand the biological underpinnings of hip osteoarthritis that culminates in the need for total joint replacement (TJR). This study is a feasibility pilot that integrates functional genomics data from diseased and non-diseased tissues of OA patients who have undergone TJR. For each tissue, we characterised epigenetic marks (methylation), gene transcription (RNASeq) and expression (quantitative proteomics). We also generated genotype data on the HumanCoreExome array for each individual.

• Colorectal adenomas and carcinomas NKI-AvL TGO series Gut2009

  Colorectal cancer (CRC) develops from normal epithelium, through a benign precursor lesion called adenoma, by accumulation of genetic alterations affecting oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes. These CRC-related genomic alterations often result in specific RNA-expression patterns. RNA isolated from fresh frozen specimen of 32 adenomas and 29 CRCs was obtained from the previously published study (Carvalho et al. 2009) and RNA-sequencing was performed with the aim to examine RNA expression changes in colorectal adenoma-to-carcinoma progression.

• Mutational spectrum of highly differentiated, fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma (set 2).

  Pediatric PAX-FOXO1 fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma represents a diverse spectrum of tumors. In this study, the mutational spectrum of 22 fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcomas with high, rhabdomyoma-like levels of differentiation was evaluated using OncoPanel v.2 (OPv2), an Agilent SureSelect custom designed bait set consisting of the coding regions of 504 cancer-relevant genes. Corresponding normal tissue was not available. Discarded normal human skeletal muscle, obtained from 7 donors without tumor history, were also included in the sequencing run.

• Melanoma_Til_Study_RNAseq

  In this study, mutations present in a series of human melanomas (stage IV disease) will be determined, using autologous blood cells to obtain a reference genome. From each of the samples that are analyzed, tumour-infiltrating T lymphocytes have also been isolated. This offers a unique opportunity to determine which (fraction of) mutations in human cancer leads to epitopes that are recognized by T cells. The resulting information is likely to be of value to understand how T cell activating drugs exert their action.

• Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage patients with or without vasospasm

  Cerebellar vasospasm is a severe complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) occurring for 30% of aSAH patients. To date, no biomarker of vasospasm occurrence exists and thus all aSAH patients undergo a preventive and dangerous treatment. In this study, we explored the miRNome of aSAH patients to detect potential expression differences between the patients developing a vasospasm (VSP+) or not (VSP-). The shared data include raw and normalized count miRNA data in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients with or without vasospasm.
