• eMERGE Genome-Wide Association Studies of Obesity

  The Geisinger eMERGE Genome-Wide Association Studies of Obesity Project is a genetic study of a cohort of primarily Caucasian patients with extreme obesity who have undergone bariatric surgery. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery, in which intestinal anatomy is altered, dramatically ameliorates and/or eliminates Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) in 50-80% of patients within hours to days following surgery, well before significant weight loss, in contrast to other types of bariatric surgeries, such as gastric banding, that attenuate insulin resistance as a result of substantial weight loss that occurs over months to years. The molecular mechanism by which RYGB exerts this clinical phenomenon occurs is not known. The goal of this project was to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genetic variants associated with amelioration in T2D defined by medication independence. Identifying genetic variants that influence the dramatic resolution of T2D from RYGB may identify novel targets for pharmacological T2D therapies and/or identify patients in whom RYGB may not be effective.

• BPH Tissues for Cell Culture and Analysis - Spatial Transcriptomics Identifies Candidate Stromal Drivers of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

  The study goal was to apply spatial transcriptomics to identify candidate stromal drivers of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Laser microdissection (LCM) with RNA-seq of the stroma adjacent to hyperplastic and budding BPH ducts identified secreted factors including IGF1 and CXCL13. Single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) revealed their co-expression from BPH fibroblasts. Additional studies sought to define similarities to embryonic prostate development, as well as therapeutic applications. Subjects were those who underwent prostatectomy for prostate or bladder cancer, with concurrent BPH, and who consented to use of surplus tissue for research studies. LCM/RNA-seq studies included 5 patients, and scRNA-seq studies included 1 patient. Phenotypic data submitted to this study include patient age, sex, prostate size, and international prostate symptom score (IPSS). Sequencing was done on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 (LCM/RNAseq) and Illumina HiSeq X-Ten (scRNA-seq). The data processing pipeline utilized Kallisto (LCM/RNA-seq) and Cell Ranger (scRNA-seq). Data submitted are raw sequencing (Fastq) files.

• Multi-Omic Profiling of Glioma Patient Tumors and Patient-Derived Model Systems

  We have created a resource of transcriptomic (RNAseq), genomic (whole-exome seq), and lipidomic (untargeted shotgun) profiling data from over 175 molecularly diverse glioma tumors and derivative models in orthotopic mouse xenografts and gliomasphere cultures from over 110 unique patient tumor lines. Provided in this dataset are matched bulk RNA and whole-exome paired-end sequencing data from resected gliomas and derived model systems performed on Illumina HiSeq and NovaSeq sequencing instruments. This comprehensive dataset powers multiple studies aiming to derive molecular signatures of intertumoral heterogeneity and perturbation responses in glioma. Through integrative multi-omic analyses in Minami, et al., 2023, PMID: 37236196, we identified that CDKN2A deletion remodels the GBM lipidome and consequently primes CDKN2A-deleted tumors for ferroptosis. Lipidomics data related to this study are publicly available here. In another study, we used a combination of molecular profiling and functional profiling of apoptotic potential to stratify patients into groups with differential vulnerability to the current standard-of-care in gliomas, and in combination with drugs targeting intrinsic apoptosis, largely informed but not limited to TP53 mutation status.

• Establishment of an iPSC Repository Derived from Healthy Volunteers

  Understanding the interaction between genetic variation and epigenetic variation remains a challenge due to the confounding role of environmental factors. We propose that human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are an excellent model to study the relationship between genetic variation and epigenetic variation while controlling for consistent environmental factors. In this study, we have created a comprehensive resource of high-quality genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic data of six iPSC lines and three iPS-derived cell types (NSC, Motor Neuron, Monocyte) from three healthy donors. We found that epigenetic variation is most strongly associated with genetic variation at the iPSC stage, and that relationship weakens as epigenetic variation increases in the differentiated cells. Additionally, cell-type is a stronger source of epigenetic variation than genetic variation, highlighting that humans are far more similar than they are different, regardless of genetic background. Further, we have elucidated a utility of studying epigenetic variation in iPSCs and their derivatives for identifying important loci for GWAS studies and the cell-types in which they may be acting.

• Genomic Alterations in Normal Breast Tissues Preceding Breast Cancer Diagnosis (GANPBC)

  This study was designed to examine the genomic alterations in histologically normal breast tissues of women who subsequently developed breast cancer and compare it to breast tissues from women who did not. Breast core needle biopsy tissues from 160 healthy women at the Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank were requested for this study and sequenced using whole exome sequencing. The samples included tissues from 79 participants who, during the annual follow-up with Susan G. Komen self-reported a subsequent diagnosis of invasive or non-invasive breast cancer after tissue submission; these cases were classified as pre-diagnosis normal tissues. The remaining 81 samples were from women who had no cancer diagnosis at their last follow-up and were classified as healthy control samples. Among the pre-diagnosis samples, the average time from tissue donation to breast cancer diagnosis was 4.7 years (range: 0-11). For the healthy controls, the average time from tissue donation to the last follow up was 6.1 years (range: 0-14).

• Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacogenomics of Ribociclib in Race-Based Cohorts (LEANORA)

  Underrepresented populations' participation in clinical trials remains limited, and the potential impact of genomic variants on drug metabolism remains elusive. This study aimed to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacogenomics (PGx) of ribociclib in self-identified Black women with hormone receptor positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2) advanced breast cancer. LEANORA (NCT04657679) was a prospective, observational, multicenter cohort study involving 14 Black women. PK and PGx were evaluated using tandem mass spectrometry and PharmacoScan microarray. CYP3A5*3, CYP3A5*6, and CYP3A5*7 variants were genotyped and CYP3A5 phenotypes were constructed from these data. We observed 7 poor metabolizers (PM), 6 intermediate metabolizers (IM), and one normal metabolizer (NM). The area under the curve of plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of ribociclib did not differ between PMs (39,230 hr*ng/mL) and IM/NMs (43,546 hr*ng/mL; P=0.38). The incidence of adverse events (AEs) was also similar. We found no association between CYP3A5 genotype and ribociclib exposure. Continued efforts are needed to include diverse populations in clinical trials to ensure equitable treatment outcomes.

• LEF1 knockdown effects on human T cell transcriptome and chromatin accessibility profiles.

  LEF1 (Lymphoid Enhancer-Binding Factor 1) is a key transcription factor in T cell development and function, and its dysregulation has been implicated in various immune-related disorders. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize the transcriptional and epigenetic changes induced by LEF1 knockdown in human T cells. CD3+ T cells isolated from three healthy donors were transfected with either LEF1-specific siRNA or control siRNA, followed by activation with CD3/CD28 Dynabeads and culture in IL-2-containing media. Cells were harvested at 24, 48 and 72 hours post-transfection for multi-omics analysis including bulk RNA-seq, bulk ATAC-seq, single-cell CITE-seq (For CITE-seq, 48 and 72 hours only). This dataset provides insights into LEF1-dependent gene regulatory networks and chromatin accessibility patterns in activated human T cells, contributing to our understanding of T cell biology and potential therapeutic targets. This dataset is part of a comprehensive study investigating functional roles of risk polymorphisms in autoimmune diseases, particularly focusing on the rs58107865 variant at the LEF1 locus.

• Systemic Inflammation and Lymphocyte Activation Precede Rheumatoid Arthritis

  The Allen Institute for Immunology-University of California, San Diego-University of Colorado Transition to Rheumatoid Arthritis (ALTRA) project is a prospective longitudinal cohort study to understand the pre-clinical development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We performed cross-sectional and longitudinal multi-omics analyses of peripheral immunity in the anti-citrullinated protein autoantibody-positive (ACPA+) at-risk for RA period. We provide FASTQ files from (1) single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of ACPA+ at-risk (n=45), ACPA+ early RA (n=11), and site-matched ACPA- controls (n=38); (2) scRNA-seq of longitudinal samples from ACPA+ at-risk who developed clinically active RA during our study (n=16 participants, n=75 samples) and ACPA- controls (n=29 subjects, n=89 samples); (3) trimodal TEA-seq of a subset of ACPA+ at-risk (n=7) and ACPA- controls (n=5). Using these data, we characterize pathogenesis prior to clinical RA diagnosis and suggest the at-risk state exhibits substantial immune alterations that could potentially be targeted for early intervention to delay or prevent autoimmunity.

• Prevalence and Clinical Characteristics of hearing loss caused by MYH14 mutation

  Mutations in MYH14 are reported to cause autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hereditary hearing loss (ADNSHL), and 35 variants have been reported to cause hearing loss in various ethnic groups, but the information on prevalence as well as clinical features are fragmented. In this study, genetic screening for MYH14 variants was carried out using a large series of Japanese hearing loss patients to reveal the information. Massively parallel DNA sequencing of 68 target candidate genes was utilized in 8074 (including 1336 ADNSHL) unrelated Japanese hearing loss patients (probands) to identify genomic variations responsible for hearing loss. We identified 20 patients with 14 mutations from 15 pedigrees. The prevalence was proved to be 0.19% (15/8074) among hearing loss patients, and 1.12% (15/1336) among ADNSHL patients. The 12 mutations out of 14 mutations identified were novel. The patients typically showed late onset, slowly progressive modelate flat-type hearing loss. The clinical information revealed by the present study would contribute to further diagnosis and management of MYH14-associated hearing loss.

• Liquid biopsy-based minimal residual disease monitoring for early risk stratification and decision-making in advanced non-small cell lung cancer

  Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-based minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring shows promise for risk stratification and decision-making in cancer patients. However, factors like background noise from non-tumor DNA, clonal haematopoiesis, and non-shedding tumors may complicate manual interpretation and limit its clinical application. In this proof-of-concept study in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), we developed an algorithm that automatically classifies serial cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples, thereby enabling reliable and reproducible interpretation, and preventing time-consuming manual interpretation in approximately 75% of patients. Importantly, application of the algorithm allowed early risk stratification and decision-making, specifically identifying approximately 35% of patients with short-term clinical benefit and approximately 25% of patients who may potentially benefit from treatment escalation. Simultaneous serum tumor marker (STM) monitoring further improved risk stratification and decision-making in our study, enabling accurate identification of all patients with a clinical benefit of at least one year.
