• The Nurses' Health Study (NHS) GWAS of Mammographic Density

  The Nurses' Health Study is an on-going prospective cohort study of women that was initiated in 1976. This specific study was part of a larger study to advance our knowledge of breast cancer etiology, expand the current knowledge of mammographic density, and clarify the relationship between mammographic density and breast cancer risk. We conducted a nested case control study of breast cancer among women who provided a blood sample. We then targeted our mammogram collection to participants that were selected as part of this nested case-control study (i.e. those who had provided a blood sample). The mammogram closest to the date of blood draw (~1989-1990) was used. We assessed mammographic breast density from digitized film images using a computer assisted thresholding method (Cumulus). The women in this study were genotyped using the Illumina Omni Express Platform.

• Lung Cancer Genetic Study Among Asian Never Smokers

  The Lung Cancer Genetic Study Among Asian Never Smokers includes data from four population-based studies conducted among Asian women: the Shanghai Women's Health Study (SWHS), the Hwasun Cancer Epidemiology Study (HCES1 and HCES2), the Female Lung Cancer Consortium in Asia (FLCCA, including sFLCA), and the Guangzhou Lung Cancer Study (GLCS). Shanghai Women's Health Study (SWHS): The SWHS is a population-based prospective cohort study of approximately 75,000 adult women who were recruited between 1997 and 2000. The cohort has been followed by a combination of record linkage and active follow-ups. Lung cancer patients identified in the SWHS and non-cases were included in the current study.Hwasun Cancer Epidemiology Study-Lung Cancer (HCES1 and HCES2): The HCES is a hospital-based case-control study whose goal is to identify factors of the cancer development and clinical progression in a Korean population. Included in this project were 299 female lung cancer cases from HCES2, who were diagnosed between April 2004 and February 2013 at Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital, a cancer specified hospital in Jeollanam-do province, South Korea. Controls were randomly selected from women with no previous cancer diagnosis at enrollment in the Namwon Study and the Dong-gu study, ongoing community-based cohort studies in South Korea. A total of 1,103 controls (273 from HCES1 and 830 from HCES2) were genotyped by MEGA. Guangzhou Lung Cancer Study (GLCS): The GLCS is a case-control study including never-smoking women lung cancer cases and controls from Guangzhou, China.In this study, the DNA samples of 1,195 subjects from SWHS and GLCS were genotyped using whole exome sequencing (WES), and the DNA samples of 7,174 subjects from SWHS, HCES1, HCES2, FLCCA, and sFLCA were genotyped using the Multi-Ethnic Global Array (MEGA).

• Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Exploration by Next-Generation Sequencing in Multi-Ethnic Samples (T2D-GENES) Project 1: Ashkenazi

  T2D-GENES (Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Exploration by Next-Generation Sequencing in Multi-Ethnic Samples) is a NIDDK-funded international research consortium which seeks to identify genetic variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D) through multiethnic sequencing studies. T2D-GENES Project 1 is a multi-ethnic sequencing study designed to assess whether less common variants play a role in T2D risk and to assess similarities and differences in the distribution of T2D risk variants across ancestry groups. The individuals were obtained from 14 cohorts that are listed in Table 1. The strategy was to perform deep exome sequencing of 12,940 individuals, 6,504 with T2D and 6,436 controls, divided among five ancestry groups: Europeans, East Asians, South Asians, American Hispanics, and African Americans. Sequencing was performed at the Broad Institute using the Agilent v2 capture reagent on Illumina HiSeq machines. Please note that while we summarize the full sample list in publications and below, the Kooperative Gesundheitsforschung in der Region Augsburg (KORA) study does not have a sub study, as it is not consented to be deposited in dbGAP.

• National Sleep Research Resource (NSRR): Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos

  The Hispanic Community Health Study / Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) is a multi-center epidemiologic study in Hispanic/Latino populations to determine the role of acculturation in the prevalence and development of disease, and to identify risk factors playing a protective or harmful role in Hispanics/Latinos. The study is sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and six other institutes, centers, and offices of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) contributed to the first phase of the project. Raw polysomnography data are available from the HCHS/SOL Baseline visit and raw actigraphy data are available from the Sueño Ancillary visit. Primary HCHS/SOL data can be requested through dbGaP phs000810 Hispanic Community Health Study /Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL).

• Foregut Microbiome and Risk of Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia, and Gastric Cancer Risk

  The study is composed of two sub-studies. The first study, conducted by NYU Grossman School of Medicine, is a case-control study of 89 cases with gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM) and 89 matched controls who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at three sites affiliated with NYU Langone Health. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing using oral wash samples from the 89 case-control pairs and antral mucosal brushing samples from 55 case-control pairs were conducted. The other study, conducted by Vanderbilt University Medical Center, is a prospective case-control study on the oral microbiome and gastric cancer risk, utilizing shotgun metagenomic sequencing data of pre-diagnostic buccal samples from 319 Asians, 118 African Americans and 51 European Americans. This study includes data from three population-based studies: the Southern Community Cohort Study (SCCS), the Shanghai Women's Health Study (SWHS), and the Shanghai Men's Health Study (SMHS). The SWHS and SMHS include 74,941 women aged 40-70 years and 61,480 men aged 40-74 years, respectively, who were permanent residents of Shanghai and recruited to the cohorts between 1997 and 2006. The SCCS is an ongoing prospective cohort study, including ~86,000 participants recruited during 2002 and 2009 from 12 Southeastern states. Nearly 67% of study participants are African Americans (AAs) and the remaining are European American (EA) subjects.
