• Samples from the Greek island of Crete, MANOLIS cohort

  Genome-wide association studies of complex traits have been successful in identifying common variant associations, but a substantial heritability gap remains. The field of complex trait genetics is shifting towards the study of low frequency and rare variants, which are hypothesised to have larger effects. The study of these variants can be empowered by focusing on isolated populations, in which rare variants may have increased in frequency and linkage disequilibrium tends to be extended. This work focuses on isolated populations from Greece. Sequencing is very efficient in isolated populations, because variants found in a few samples will be shared by others in extended haplotype contexts, supporting accurate imputation.

• Whole genome sequencing of 25 South African individuals with myasthenia gravis

  This study investigated the genetic basis of an ophthalmoplegic subphenotype of MG (OP-MG) which occurs in a proportion of myasthenics with juvenile symptom onset and African genetic ancestry. This OP-MG subphenotype is characterised by treatment resistant weakness of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) and the pathogenetic mechanism(s) underlying its development is unknown. The aim of this study was to use a hypothesis-generating genome-wide case-control analysis to identify candidate OP-MG susceptibility genes and pathways. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on 25 AChR-antibody positive myasthenic individuals of African genetic ancestry sampled from the phenotypic extremes: 15 with OP-MG (cases) and 10 individuals with control MG (EOM treatment-responsive).

• Copy number analysis of Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA) using SNP array

  Diamond–Blackfan anemia (DBA), is a rare congenital anemia that usually presents in infancy. About fifty percent of DBA patients possess mutations in ribosomal protains (RPs). In this study, we performed genomic copy number analysis using SNP arrays for 27 Japanese DBA patients to detect genomic copy number lesions of the RP genes' loci.

• Evaluating potential drug candidates for the treament of Henamgiopericytoma on patient derived cell line models

  Solitary fibrous tumor/Hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) is a rare subtype of soft tissue sarcoma associated with NAB2-STAT6 gene fusions. This study established and characterized a novel SFT/HPC patient-derived cell line called SFT-S1. Potential drug candidates that could be repurposed for the treatment of SFT/HPC were screened.

• RNAseq and ATACseq on HGSC lines, pre- and post-treatment with an epigenetic drug

  This study looked to determine changes in gene expression and chromatin accessibility of five HGSC cell lines, following treatment with a novel epigenetic drug. The epigenetic drug, HKMTi-1-005, is a compound with dual activity against H3K27 and H3K9 methylation. The cell lines used were PEO1, PEO4, PEA2, OVCAR5, OVCAR8.

• Enhancing OSCC Prediction: The Prognostic Power of WPOI and Tumor Budding, and the Limited Impact of Molecular Resection Margins

  This dataset contains sequences with results of mutations observed in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. Mutations were detected by NGS in tumor tissue, tumor margins, and peripheral blood as a healthy control. Study was using a panel of 88 cancer-related genes, which were selected based on a literature search.

• Exome sequencing and disease analysis of a single family implicate a mutation in KIF1A in hereditary spastic paraparesis

  The study involves a single consanguineous Palestinian family with Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis (HSP). The affected individuals suffer from spasticity of the lower limbs and abnormal gait. Using exome sequencing and homozygosity mapping, our analysis implicated the causative mutation in the motor domain of KIF1A, a gene that functions in anterograde axonal transportation.

• Multimodal Genomic Features Predict Outcome of Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

  This study evaluates integrated genomic models of response to immune checkpoint blockade for lung cancer patients. A computationally adjusted tumor mutation burden was combined with HLA class I genetic variation, mutational smoking signature and activating mutations in receptor tyrosine kinase genes to generate a prognostic classifier that outperforms tumor mutation burden.

• Genome Wide Association Studies in ECOG 2997 Trial

  The ECOG 2997 trial was a randomized controlled trial for patients with previously untreated CLL comparing fludarabine monotherapy to the combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide. The initial clinical findings of this study were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in 2007 (JCO 25:793-8). Additional laboratory studies have also published (JCO 25:799-804).

• Dissecting Autoimmune Cellular and Molecular Networks in Vitiligo

  This study consists of suction blister biopsies of primary human skin samples, collected from healthy patients, or patients with vitiligo. Healthy patients had healthy skin sampled. Vitiligo patients had both unaffected (non-lesional) and affected (lesional) skin sampled. The generated data consists of scRNA-seq samples generated following the inDrops method (Klein et al., 2015; PMID: 26000487).
