• Therapeutic Genetics and Disease Modeling in LAMA2-CMD

  Merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy (MDC1A) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the LAMA2 gene, resulting in a defective form of the extracellular matrix protein laminin-α2 (LAMA2). Individuals diagnosed with MDC1A exhibit progressive muscle wasting and declining neuromuscular functions. No treatments for this disorder are currently available. This study involves transcriptomic comparison analysis between MDC1A patient fibroblasts and healthy control fibroblasts to reveal changes in gene expression that contribute to LAMA2 congenital muscular dystrophy (LAMA2-CMD).

• Center for Common Disease Genomics (CCDG)-Cardiovascular: University of Pennsylvania Cohort

  The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) has funded the Centers for Common Disease Genomics (CCDG), a collaborative large-scale genome sequencing effort to comprehensively identify rare risk and protective variants contributing to multiple common disease phenotypes and to better understand the general principles of genomic architecture underlying common, complex inherited diseases. This study of early onset cardiovascular disease and metabolic risk contains data derived from the whole genome sequence data of individuals participating in Penn Medicine's BioBank.

• National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Bench to Bassinet Program: The Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program of the Pediatric Cardiac Genetics Consortium (PCGC)

  Multi-center, prospective observational cohort study of individuals with congenital heart defects (CHD). Phenotypic data and source DNA derived from 300 probands and their parents, and family of interest collected to investigate relationships between genetic factors and phenotypic and clinical outcomes in patients with CHD. This Kids First project represents a subset of the PCGC data. Other PCGC data can be accessed through phs001194 and other Kids First data can be accessed through kidsfirstdrc.org.

• Characterization of the Gut-Associated Microbiome in Inflammatory Pouch Complications Following Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis

  This study involved evaluation of the tissue associated microbiome of the ileal pouch following surgery for ulcerative colitis (UC) or familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Individuals were recruited, with biopsies taken from the ileal pouch and the pre-pouch ileum, microbial DNA was extracted and sequenced using 454 pyrosequencing. Total bacterial community structure and abundance were evaluated to determine which changes were characteristic of inflammatory phenotypes including pouchitis (inflammation of the ileal pouch) and a Crohn's disease-like phenotype.

• C9ORF72 Hexanucleotide Repeat Sequence Genotyping Project

  This study reports long-range and high-resolution repeat sizing of the C9orf72 repeat region for 2095 samples from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) repository's ALS collection. Genomic DNA samples were analyzed with a PCR assay (AmplideX® PCR/CE C9orf72 Kit) and resolved on capillary electrophoresis. Expanded samples were also analyzed using a gene-specific assay and resolved by capillary electrophoresis (up to 145 GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeats) and AGE agarose gel electrophoresis (up to 950 hexanucleotide repeats, respectively).

• Single-Sperm Genome Sequencing of Sperm Donors

  This study performed single-cell DNA sequencing of sperm from 20 presumably fertile sperm donors from a sperm bank. In aggregate, these single-cell sequences yield the genomes of the sperm donors. Original analyses consisted of inferring recombination and aneuploidy from the single-cell sequences. The raw data may be useful for re-processing, investigation of other meiotic phenotypes, and other investigations that would benefit from DNA sequence data deriving from sperm cells. Data can be aggregated by molecular identifier, cellular identifier, or sperm donor.

• Luminal Androgen Receptor-Enriched Triple Negative Breast Cancer

  This is a study to determine the efficacy of androgen receptor (AR) inhibitors in LAR (luminal androgen receptor)-enriched triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in the neoadjuvant setting. Twenty-four patients were treated with neoadjuvant AR inhibitor enzalutamide and paclitaxel for 12 weeks. Whole exome sequencing and RNA-sequencing was performed prior to treatment. The data for only two patients are consented for release through dbGaP. The remaining data are available under a Materials Transfer Agreement with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

• Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI): Single-Cell Atlas of NF1 Nerve Sheath Tumors

  The worst outcome of NF1 is the development of the aggressive and highly metastatic malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST), which transform from benign plexiform neurofibroma (PN) and lack effective treatment. In this study, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of 63 clinically annotated NF1-associated peripheral nerve sheath tumors, including 24 PN, 34 premalignant atypical neurofibromas, and 5 MPNSTs. These results improve the ability of identifying high-risk neurofibromas and provide a unique opportunity for early detection of MPNST.

• A CCG expansion in ABCD3 causes oculopharyngodistal myopathy in individuals of European ancestry

  In this study we describe the identification of CCG expansions in ABCD3 in affected individuals across eight unrelated OPDM families of European ancestry. In two large Australian OPDM families, using a combination of linkage studies, short-read WGS and targeted ONT sequencing, we identified CCG expansions in the 5’UTR of ABCD3. Independently, the ABCD3 CCG expansion was identified through the 100,000 Genomics England Genome Project in three individuals from two unrelated UK families diagnosed with OPDM.

• Targeted sequencing of genomic regions of interest in depression and obesity

  This study aimed to further explore the genetic relationship between MD and obesity taking advantage of targeted sequencing strategy. Specifically, we searched for genetic risk variants across the entire frequency spectrum in flanking genomic regions and genes previously associated with MD and obesity, assessed the contribution of those variants to the pathophysiology of comorbid MD and obesity, and provided a general overview of the cellular and molecular pathways mapped by those variants when these complex diseases co-occur.
