• Illumina HumanOmniExpress genotyping data from the TEENAGE (TEENs of Attica: Genes and Environment) study.

  The TEENAGE study is a cross-sectional study comprising healthy Greek adolescents. The study was conducted according to the guidelines specified in the Declaration of Helsinki and all procedures involving human subjects were approved by the Institutional Review Board of Harokopio University and the Greek Ministry of Education, Lifelong Learning and Religious Affairs. The TEENAGE study target population comprised adolescent students aged 13 to 15 years attending the first three classes of public secondary schools located in the wider Athens area of Attica. The regions across Attica from which students were recruited were physically similar and all urban in nature. Sampling of regions and schools selected to participate was random. Students were enrolled from the wider urban region to ensure that they were coming from families with varying educational background and socio-economic status. Moreover, in order to exclude any vast economic disparities, all participating schools were exclusively public schools, which are free of charge. A total of twenty-four schools participated in the study out of 285 junior secondary public schools in Attica. Anthropometric, medical and dietary information was obtained. DNA samples were genotyped using Illumina HumanOmniExpress BeadChips (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton, UK. Genotype calling algorithm used was Illuminus (Teo et al., 2007).

• Sleep Abnormalities in Rare Genetic Disorders: Angelman Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, and Prader-Willi Syndrome

  This research study will investigate sleep behavior in the rare neurological disorders Angelman Syndrome (AS), Rett Syndrome (RTT), Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) and Early-onset Morbid Obesity (EMO). Sleep is very important to proper health and plays a critical role in learning, memory, brain development and brain function. Sleep disturbances can have negative effects on health and the quality of life of children and their families. Sleep disorders are common in individuals with AS, RTT, PWS and EMO. As a result, individuals with AS, RTT, PWS and EMO are at risk for sleep-related health problems that can worsen existing daytime behaviors and lead to additional problems with learning and memory. The principal objectives of the study are to: Characterize sleep behavior in individuals with Angelman Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome and Early-onset Morbid Obesity. Compare sleep behavior in these individuals with sleep behavior in normal controls Assess the natural history of sleep behavior in individuals with Angelman Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome and Early-onset Morbid Obesity About this Study This is a questionnaire study that will evaluate the sleep behavior of individuals with AS, RTT or PWS (participants), or unaffected siblings of individuals with AS, RTT or PWS (controls). Those participating in the study will already be registered with the Rare Disease Clinical Research Network (RDCRN) and have a confirmed diagnosis of AS, RTT or PWS or be an unaffected sibling. We will look at the medical records on file with the RDCRN to confirm diagnosis of AS, RTT or PWS. Study participants will participate in the study at their regularly scheduled RDCRN clinic visits. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires at the study visits that will document their sleep behaviors. The questionnaires are not difficult and participants should be able to complete them in approximately 15-30 minutes. Parents and legal guardians are allowed to assist participants or answer on their behalf. Questionnaires will be administered at the initial study visit and at a 12 month follow-up visit to document any changes in sleep behavior. We hope to enroll approximately 1400 individuals with either AS, RTT or PWS or their unaffected siblings.

• Whole Blood Transcriptomics of Patients With Melioidosis

  Melioidosis is a neglected tropical infection caused by the Gram negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei that is associated with high mortality rates in southeast Asia. The goal of this study was to a) identify human blood leukocyte transcriptomic features and pathways specific to melioidosis (vs other etiologies of infection), b) identify transcriptomic features and pathways specific to fatal melioidosis, and c) identify transcriptomic predictors of death in patients with melioidosis. This study used clinical data and whole blood leukocyte samples from a subset of participants in the Ubon Sepsis Study, a prospective single-center cohort study conducted at Sunpasitthiprasong Hospital, Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand between 2013 and 2017. Participants in the Ubon Sepsis Study had suspected or documented infection with accompanying systemic manifestations of infection and were enrolled, with blood sampling, within 24 hours of admission to the study hospital. Enrolled patients were followed over time and vital status was determined at 28 days after enrollment. The subset of participants from the parent Ubon Sepsis Study cohort selected for this study was comprised of 164 patients with melioidosis (defined as having a culture of clinical sample positive for B. pseudomallei), 35 patients with Gram negative bacteremia due to either Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae, 16 patients with Gram positive bacteremia due to Staphylococcus aureus, and 19 patients who had negative blood cultures and no clinical sample culture-positive for B. pseudomallei. Fifty uninfected control patients with or without diabetes were recruited from the outpatient department and blood donation center at Udon Thani hospital, Udon Thani, Thailand from 2018 to 2019. Blood was collected at the time of enrollment in Tempus Blood RNA tubes. RNA was extracted using the Tempus Spin RNA Isolation kit. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) was performed at the University of Washington Northwest Genomics Center. Analysis was performed using a variety of statistical methods. The main finding of the study was that the transcriptomes of melioidosis patients, compared to patients with other infections, were characterized by upregulation of interferon signaling. The transcriptomes of patients with fatal melioidosis were notable for upregulation of inflammatory and type 2 immune responses and downregulation of genes related to T-cell function. A five-gene (EPHB1, SYCP2L, MERTK, IL5RA, and SPOCK1) predictive signature for death in melioidosis was developed.

• NHLBI TOPMed: Genetic Study of Atherosclerosis Risk (GeneSTAR)

  GeneSTAR began in 1982 as the Johns Hopkins Sibling and Family Heart Study, a prospective longitudinal family-based study conducted originally in healthy adult siblings of people with documented early onset coronary disease under 60 years of age. Commencing in 2003, the siblings, their offspring, and the coparent of the offspring participated in a 2 week trial of aspirin 81 mg/day with pre and post ex vivo platelet function assessed using multiple agonists in whole blood and platelet rich plasma. Extensive additional cardiovascular testing and risk assessment was done at baseline and serially. Follow-up was carried out to determine incident cardiovascular disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, diabetes, cancer, and related comorbidities, from 5 to 30 years after study entry. The goal of several additional phenotyping and interventional substudies has been to discover and amplify understanding of the mechanisms of atherogenic vascular diseases and attendant comorbidities.
