• Biology and Molecular Analysis of Human Hematopoiesis Genetics

  In this study we have performed exome sequencing using the hybrid capture method that has previously been described (Gnirke et al., Nature Biotechnology, 2009) on genomic DNA samples from patients with the congenital bone marrow failure syndrome that affects the erythroid lineage, specifically, Diamond-Blackfan anemia. This disease is characterized by a hypoplastic anemia and approximately 50% of cases are attributable to mutations in ribosomal protein gene subunits. The other 50% of cases do not have a known genetic etiology and the purpose of this study is to attempt to delineate such causes.

• Pooled Genome-Wide Analysis of Kidney Cancer Risk (KIDRISK)

  Incidence rates of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are rising and the latest estimates show that it accounts for over 300,000 cases and 120,000 deaths worldwide each year. Mechanisms underlying RCC occurrence are not fully understood and a large part of the disease heritability remains unexplained. The study aimed at augmenting the size of available RCC genome-wide association studies to increase the statistical power to detect genetic variants associated with the disease. The study includes genome-wide genotyping data from RCC cases (n=2,781) and controls (n=2,526) recruited in Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, and Australia.

• Biesecker Lab (NHGRI) Whole Genome Medical Sequencing for Gene Discovery

  We aim to use whole-genome medical sequencing (WGMS) to discover causative molecular lesions for a set of rare, severe phenotypes hypothesized to be caused by either somatic mutations, germline de nova heterozygous mutations, germline inherited recessive, or germline inherited dominant mutations in currently unknown or uncharacterized genes. The goal of this research is threefold: to identify causative sequence variants for disorders whose molecular etiology was previously unknown, to apply this insight to both the rare disorders under study and more common phenotypes, and to enhance the study of mutation on a genome-wide level.

• A Model of Human Asthma Exacerbation Identifies Mechanisms That Drive Allergic Asthma

  In this study, we will enroll allergic adults to undergo bronchoscopic segmental allergen challenge, in order to identify differences in the airway immune response to allergen in those with asthma compared to those without asthma. After a discussion about the study and potential risks, subjects giving written informed consent will undergo two bronchoscopies. During the first procedure, samples will be collected from the left lung and allergen will be administered to a small segment of the right lung. The second procedure will be performed 24 hours later, with collection of samples from the allergen-challenged lung segment.

• TCR Repertoire Sequencing to Evaluate the Diversity of Follicular Helper T Cells in HIV Infected Lymph Nodes

  The TCR repertoire of CD4+ T cells in human lymph nodes is a case-based analysis of the TCR repertoire of CD4+ T cells in human lymph nodes. The study aims to determine how HIV infection alters the repertoire complexity of follicular helper T cells (TFH) in relationship to other T cell subsets in the lymphoid compartment. This study performs TCR repertoire sequencing using Molecular Identifier Clustering-based Immune Repertoire Sequencing (MIDCIRS). We found TFH cells become clonally expanded and convergently selected in LNs from patients with chronic HIV infection.

• Functional Analysis of Genetic Variants in African Americans with Breast Cancer

  The goal of this study is to identify and characterize novel genetic variants associated with a predisposition to breast cancer (BCa) in African Americans (AAs) using a family case-family control study design. Variants of unknown clinical significance (VUS) were characterized using bioinformatics tools. Future studies will further characterize select VUSs using in vitro genomic editing methods and functional assays to determine the functional consequences. The targeted sequencing data is made available for 85 actionable cancer genes. These genes have been previously classified with deleterious mutation(s) and whose phenotype results in a specific, defined medical recommendation(s).

• Analysis of the Genetic Basis of Height in Large Jewish Nuclear Families

  This is a family based study of the genetic basis of height, which focused on very large nuclear families (10 siblings or more, average of 12), all from a founder (Jewish) population. All participants have completed their growth. This study design increases the frequency of some genetic variants that are rare in a cosmopolitan population but segregate in our cohort. Participants were genotyped with a ~630,000 SNP array (Affymetrix Axiom Biobank), and their standing height, sitting height and arm span were measured with high accuracy (±0.1 cm, with 4 technical repeats). All genomic coordinates refer to genome build hg19.

• RNA-Seq of Whole Blood from Pediatric Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) Patients

  The aim of this study is to define the immune cell transcriptome by next generation RNA sequencing in blood from individuals with SCA, in comparison to healthy African American controls. This study has a cross-sectional case-control design. We will compare the transcriptome profiles of blood mononuclear cells from healthy age-matched African American children without cardiovascular disease or risk factors (“Controls”) to those of children with SCA, age 5 -21 years, who are not receiving chronic red blood cell transfusions or hydroxyurea therapy to identify genes that are differentially expressed in SCA.

• Correction of the cytosine deamination artifacts in FFPE-based sequencing experiments

  Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples are widely used in research and diagnostics, but cytosine deamination during fixation introduces sequencing artifacts, particularly C>T substitutions, which complicate reliable mutation detection. In this study, we systematically evaluated five computational methods and an enzymatic repair approach for FFPE artifact removal, as well as their combined application, using a custom dataset based on whole exome sequencing. Our results demonstrate that while computational strategies improve data quality, the enzymatic approach provides the most effective artifact correction. The study provides guidelines for both computational and enzymatic artifact correction strategies for reliable downstream analyses.

• Aberrant expression of SLAMF6 constitutes a targetable immune escape mechanism in acute myeloid leukemia

  In this study, we demonstrate that aberrant expression of SLAMF6 on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells serves as a novel immune escape mechanism that can be inhibited by antibodies against the SLAMF6 dimerization site. This constitutes a novel mechanism of checkpoint inhibition, which paves the way for immunotherapy in AML and other SLAMF6-expressing cancers. This study utilizes single cell sequencing data from the AML cell line HNT-34 co-cultured with normal T cells, with and without antibody targeting SLAMF6, as well as single cell data of 38 primary AML samples.

• Whole exome sequencing and RNA sequencing of cervical cancer

  We designed this study to identify molecular markers involved in the development and prognosis of cervical adenocarcinoma. In this study, we would like to elucidate the molecular biological characteristics of cervical adenocarcinoma in relation to the carcinogenesis of other cervical cancers (squamous cell carcinoma), vaginal and vulvar cancers. In addition, some squamous cell carcinomas of the cervix develop at a young age and have a poor prognosis. Furthermore, small cell carcinoma of the cervix also progresses rapidly and has a poor prognosis, making the establishment of diagnostic and therapeutic methods an urgent task.

• Lethal malformation syndrome

  Identification of the genetic basis of rare monogenic diseases can provide insights into disease mechanisms, biological pathways and potential therapeutic targets. Exome sequencing has proven to be a powerful, efficient strategy for the identification of the genes underlying rare Mendelian disorders. The genetic defect behind the lethal malformation syndrome under study is known in some cases and has proven useful in revealing the primary underlying defect. We have six typical unrelated families with no known mutation. The aim of this study is to identify the locus associated with this lethal malformation syndrome in these families using exome sequencing.
