• Single-Nuclei Paired Multiomic Analysis of Young, Aged, and Parkinson's Disease Human Midbrain Reveals Age-Associated Glial Changes and Their Contribution to Parkinson's Disease

  Age is the primary risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), but how aging to change the expression and regulatory landscape of the brain remains unclear. Here, we present a single-nuclei multiomic study profiling shared gene expression and chromatin accessibility of young, aged and PD post-mortem midbrain samples. Combined multiomic analysis of midbrain nuclei along a pseudo-pathogenesis trajectory reveals that all glial cell types are affected by age, but microglia and oligodendrocytes are further altered in PD. We present evidence for a novel disease-associated oligodendrocyte subtype and identify genes lost over the aging and disease process, including CARNS1, that may predispose healthy cells to develop a disease-associated phenotype. Peak-gene association analysis from paired data identifies 89 PD-associated SNP loci, including five in MAPT, that only correlate with gene expression in disease-associated oligodendrocytes. Our study suggests a previously undescribed role for oligodendrocytes in aging and PD pathogenesis.

• BarcUVa-Seq (Biology of Colorectal Cancer Risk Enhancers)

  This study was designed to generate a cohort of normal colon mucosal biopsies from the "average risk" population. Its primary aims included the development of an RNA-seq dataset of normal colon mucosal biopsies across three colon regions (ascending, transverse and descending). Further, we aimed to provide plausible prioritization to genetic components of colorectal cancer risk by employing methods such as expression quantitative trait loci analysis. In doing so, we provide a novel reference dataset for the study of colon cancer risk in the healthy colon epithelium. RNA-seq was performed in batches on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 (batch 1-7) or NovaSeq 6000 (batch 8) on a total of 463 samples. Matched genotyping data was generated on the Illumina OncoArray BeadChip. Phasing was carried out using Minimac 3 and imputation was performed using The Haplotype Reference Consortium panel on the Michigan Imputation Server.Genotype and RNA-seq data will be made available in dbGaP.

• Using NGS to Sequence Whole Genomes to Identify Genes Underlying ALS

  Our ALS Consortium - a partnership of clinicians, basic scientists, geneticists, and computational biologists from 48 institutions (4 of which are industry partners) across 5 countries - establishes a framework to apply whole genome sequencing (WGS) and functional genomics to the study of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Because ALS-causing mutations tend to be of moderate impact and are relatively rare in the population (reviewed in Al-Chalabi et al., 2017, PMID: 27982040), identification of new mutations require several thousand samples, which need to be obtained from multiple sites (even the busiest ALS clinics see only 200-400 patients per year). ALS Consortium is using genomics technologies to study the causes and mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disease, and the contribution of various cell types within the brain and spinal cord. Much of this work is done and continues to be done in collaboration with the members of the NYGC ALS Consortium.

• Deciphering craniopharyngioma subtypes: Single-cell analysis of tumor microenvironment and immune networks

  Craniopharyngiomas, including both adamantinomatous (ACP) and squamous papillary (PCP) types, present significant challenges in treatment due to their proximity to critical pituitary structures. In this study, we conducted a single-cell RNA analysis to examine the tumor microenvironments (TME) of ACP and PCP. Single-cell clustering revealed a wide range of cell types, which were further categorized based on gene expression patterns. For ACP, these categories included developing epithelia, calcification, and immune response, while PCP showed developing epithelia, cell cycle, and immune response as prominent categories. Subclustering analysis unveiled different types of immune cells in both ACP and PCP TMEs, with specific patterns of immune responses. Interestingly, smaller tumors were associated with particular immune cell ratios. Furthermore, we identified specific cell-to-cell interactions within the tumor cells. In conclusion, our study has led to the development of a comprehensive cell atlas, shedding light on the molecular characteristics and intricate interplay of immune cells within the TMEs of ACP and PCP.

• Processing of tissue and cfDNA samples of CRC patients using Active-seq

  In this study, we have developed a novel technology called Active-Seq (Azide Click Tagging for In Vitro Epigenomic sequencing), a base conversion-free technology used to profile the DNA methylation status of a sample, based on the isolation of DNA containing unmodified CpG sites using a mutated bacterial methyltransferase enzyme and a synthetically prepared cofactor analogue. We procured samples from colorectal cancer (CRC) patients including tumour tissue as well as normal adjacent tissues. The data enabled us to identify CRC-specific markers that could then be used to track and monitor the presence of tumour DNA in cell-free DNA plasma (cfDNA) samples procured in the same patients. The FASTQ files of all the colorectal cancer tissues, normal adjacent tissues as wells as the cfDNA samples are available in this submission. The data made available in this study have been used to outline an approach for tumour-informed disease profiling in colorectal cancer cfDNA samples using Active-Seq.

• Sequencing cancer mutations in various types of lung cancer using the long-read, portable sequencer

  In this study, we used a long-read and portable sequencer MinION to identify cancer mutations in lung adenocarcinoma cells. We performed cDNA amplicon sequencing for various types of mutations such as point mutations in EGFR and KRAS and oncogenic fusion transcripts in ALK and RET. Using the long reads of MinION, we also conducted mutation phasing of EGFR TKI-sensitive and resistant mutations, which would provide useful information to next thrapeutic approaches for cancers. We applied this method to identify mutation genotypes of eight clinical samples from Japanese lung adenocarcinomas. This method could provide new sequencing-based diagnostic approaches for lung cancers. Additinally we also performed cancer mutation identification of risk-dependent unique samples. Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is a risk factor for lung carcinogenesis. This study was performed to characterize mutagenesis and mutational target genes underlying lung carcinogenesis in patients with UIP.We performed whole exome sequencing of lung adenocarcinoma with usual interstitial pneumonia.

• Adult granulosa cell tumor WGS data cohort with corresponding reference germline WGS data

  Adult granulosa cell tumors (AGCTs) harbor a somatic FOXL2 c.402C>G mutation in ~95% of cases and are mainly surgically removed due to limited systemic treatment effect. In this study, potentially targetable genomic alterations in AGCTs were investigated by whole genome sequencing on 46 tumor samples and matched normal DNA. Copy number variant (CNV) analysis confirmed gain  of chromosome 12 and 14, and loss of 22. Pathogenic TP53 mutations were identified in three patients with highest tumor mutational burden and mitotic activity, defining a high-grade AGCT subgroup. Within-patient tumor comparisons showed 29-80% unique somatic mutations per sample, suggesting tumor heterogeneity. FOXL2-wildtype AGCTs had DICER1, TERT(C228T) and TP53 mutations and similar CNV profiles as FOXL2-mutant tumors. Our study confirms that absence of the FOXL2 c.402C>G mutation does not exclude AGCT diagnosis. The lack of overlapping variants in targetable cancer genes, indicates the need for personalized treatment for AGCT patients

• Whole-exome ultra-high throughput sequencing in brain samples of suicide victims who had suffered from major depressive disorder and control subjects who had died from other causes

  We carried out whole-exome ultra-high throughput sequencing in brain samples of suicide victims who had suffered from major depressive disorder and control subjects who had died from other causes. This study aimed to reveal the selective accumulation of rare variants in the coding and the UTR sequences within the genes of suicide victims. We also analysed the potential effect of STR and CNV variations, as well as the infection of the brain with neurovirulent viruses in this behavioural disorder. As a result, we have identified several candidate genes, among others three calcium channel genes that may potentially contribute to completed suicide. We also explored the potential implication of the TGF-β signalling pathway in the pathogenesis of suicidal behaviour. To our best knowledge, this is the first study that uses whole-exome sequencing for the investigation of suicide.

• Impact of mutational profiles on response of primary oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancers to oestrogen deprivation

  Presurgical studies allow study of the relationship between mutations and response of estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer to aromatase inhibitors (AIs) but have been limited to small biopsies. Here in Phase I of this study, we perform exome sequencing on baseline, surgical core-cuts and blood from 60 patients (40 AI treated, 20 Controls). In poor responders (based on Ki67 change) we find significantly more somatic mutations than good responders. Subclones exclusive to baseline or surgical cores   occur in approximately 30% of tumours. In Phase II we combine targeted sequencing on another 28 treated patients with Phase I. We find six genes frequently mutated: PIK3CA, TP53, CDH1, MLL3, ABCA13 and FLG with 71% concordance between paired cores. TP53 mutations are associated with poor response. We conclude that multiple biopsies are essential for confident mutational profiling of ER+ breast cancer and TP53 mutations are associated with resistance to oestrogen deprivation therapy.

• Next_gen_seq_of_eye_cancers

  Retinoblastoma (RB), the commonest eye cancer in children was the first cancer for which a genetic cause was identified: the Rb1 gene is a tumour suppressor gene that is mutated in RB. The Rb1 gene defect alone does not predict the clinical outcome. We propose to study other possible mechanisms: 1. Stepwise further mutations occur in RB, increasing its carcinogenesis. We will sequence the whole genome in RB tissue, and relate the different genes expressed to the treatments used. 2. Extracellular matric proteins contribute to a tumour permissive environment for RB to continue to grow. This includes Samll Leucine Rich Proteoglycans (SLRP), a family of 15 secreted extracellular matrix proteins involved in eye development. 3. Cancer stem cells (CSC), a subpopulation of treatment resistant cells, drive RB tumours, and whether these stem cells can be manipulated for new therapies. The aim of this study is to assist finding targeted diagnostic techniques and treatments for RB.

• A biobank of patient-derived pediatric brain tumor models

  Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. Genomic studies have provided insights into molecular subgroups and oncogenic drivers of pediatric brain tumors that may lead to novel therapeutic strategies. To evaluate new treatments, better preclinical models adequately reflecting the biological heterogeneity are needed. Through the Children’s Oncology Group ACNS02B3 study, we have generated and comprehensively characterized 30 patient-derived orthotopic xenograft models and 7 cell lines representing 14 molecular subgroups of pediatric brain tumors. Patient-derived orthotopic xenograft models were found to be representative of the human tumors they were derived from in terms of histology, immunohistochemistry, gene expression, DNA methylation, copy number, and mutational profiles. In vivo drug sensitivity of targeted therapeutics was associated with distinct molecular tumor subgroups and specific genetic alterations. These models and their molecular characterization provide an unprecedented resource for the cancer community to study key oncogenic drivers and to evaluate novel treatment strategies.

• Feasibility and safety of a multi-cancer blood test for screening and intervention

  We evaluated the feasibility and safety of blood testing for cancer in an interventional study of 10,006 women. Positive tests for DNA or protein were independently confirmed and diagnostic PET-CT imaging was used to localize disease. During the study, 26 cancers were first detected by blood testing, 24 more by standard-of-care screening, and 46 by neither approach. Surgicalexcision of the primary tumors was performed on 12 cancers first detected by blood testing.1.0% of participants underwent PET-CT imaging based on false positive blood tests, and 0.22% underwent a futile invasive diagnostic procedure. These data demonstrate that multi-cancer blood testing, when followed by PET-CT localization, can be safely incorporated into routineclinical care, in some cases leading to surgery with intent to cure. Further studies will be required to determine the clinical validity and utility of multi-cancer blood testing.

• Comparative analysis of somatic variant calling on matched FF and FFPE WGS samples

  This study aims at assessing whether FFPE material can be used for cohort analysis. To this end, we performed an in-depth comparison of somatic SNVs called on matching FF and FFPE whole genome sequences samples extracted from the same metastatic prostate tumor. Four variant callers were used to call somatic variants on both the FF and the FFPE samples. An heuristic was developed to maximize the overlap between the FF and its FFPE counterparts. Then, the extent to which intra-tumor heterogeneity explains discrepancies in variants called between the FF and the FFPE samples was assessed by comparing the clonal and subclonal somatic variants. This study illustrates that when using the correct variant calling strategy, the majority of clonal SNVs can be recovered in an FFPE sample with high precision and sensitivity. These results suggest that somatic variants derived from WGS of FFPE material can be used in cohort studies.

• Physiological and genetic adaptations to diving in Sea Nomads

  Understanding the physiology and genetics of human hypoxia tolerance has important medical implications, but this phenomenon has thus far only been investigated in high-altitude human populations. Another system, yet to be explored, is humans who engage in breath-hold diving. The indigenous Bajau people (“Sea Nomads”) of Southeast Asia live a subsistence lifestyle based on breath-hold diving and are renowned for their extraordinary breath holding abilities. However, it is unknown whether this has a genetic basis. Using a comparative genomic study, we show that natural selection on genetic variants in the PDE10A gene have increased spleen size in the Bajau, providing them with a larger reservoir of oxygenated red blood cells. We also find evidence of strong natural selection specific to the Bajau on BDKRB2, a gene affecting the human diving reflex. Thus, the Bajau, and possibly other natural diving populations, provide a new opportunity to study human adaptation to hypoxia tolerance.

• HSC_colony_many_years_post_allogeneic_bone_marrow_transplant_TGS

  This study looks at human donors and recipients of allogeneic blood & marrow marrow transplantation. Each transplant "pair" (donor & recipient) underwent the transplant procedure 10 -30 years prior to sampling - the majority for an underlying diagnosis of leukemia. We will perform whole-genome sequencing on tens to hundreds of single HSPC (haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell)-derived colonies per individual. We will infer the phylogeny of these cells (those from both donor & recipient within a pair) by analysing the somatically acquired mutations within each cell. The structure of the phylogeny will allow estimates of hitherto unknown parameters such as the number of HSCs that engraft long-term, the dynamics of the engraftment process on the HSC level, and the additional mutation burden acquired through the arduous transplant procedure. This TGS part of the study is used for assessing the contribution of clones to mature blood subsets, and better timing mutations relative to transplantation.

• Gut metagenome associations with extensive digital health data in a volunteer-based EstMB cohort

  Microbiome research is starting to move beyond the exploratory phase towards interventional trials and therefore well-characterized cohorts will be instrumental for generating hypothesis and providing new knowledge. As part of the Estonian Biobank, we established the Estonian Microbiome Cohort which includes stool, oral and plasma samples from 2,509 participants and is supplemented with multi-omic measurements, questionnaires, and regular linkages to national electronic health records. In this study, we analyzed stool data from deep metagenomic sequencing together with rich phenotyping, including 71 diseases, 136 medications, 21 dietary questions, 5 procedures, and 19 other factors. The data revealed numerous relationships with different microbiome features. Additionally, the long-term antibiotic usage, independent from recent administration, has a significant impact on the microbiome composition, partly explaining the common associations between diseases. Overall, this study extends the understanding of microbiome–host interactions and facilitates the development of microbiome-related studies.

• A cycling, progenitor-like cell population at the root of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor subtype differentiation trajectories.

  Background: Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors (ATRTs), characterized by the loss of SMARCB1, are among the most lethal pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Three molecular subtypes have been identified, each defined by distinct molecular and clinical features. No subtype-specific treatments are available, highlighting the necessity to better understand inter- and intra-subtype heterogeneity. Methods: We generated a single-nucleus transcriptome atlas of ATRTs, validated by single-cell ATAC-seq and spatial transcriptomics, to study subtype-specific differentiation trajectories. Results: We identified brain progenitor-like expression profiles within unique subtype-specific differentiation lineages. A shared cycling, progenitor-like cell population, interspersed throughout tumors, was observed across all ATRT samples. Moreover, we demonstrate that subtype-specific differentiation trajectories can be induced pharmacologically in ATRT tumoroids directing tumor cells towards a non-proliferative, mature phenotype. Conclusions: Our study reveals that ATRT subtypes exhibit signaling trajectories mirroring normal fetal brain development, enabling the development of maturation therapies tailored towards ATRTs.

• Identification of gene mutations and fusion genes in patients with Sézary Syndrome

  Sezary syndrome (SS) is a leukemic form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) with an aggressive clinical course. The goal of our study is to understand the genetic basis of the disease by looking for driver gene mutations and fusion genes in 15 erythrodermic patients with circulating Sezary cels, fourteen of them fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of SS. Peripheral blood samples were collected for each patient and CD4+ T-lymphocytes and Granulocytes were isolated. DNA and RNA was extracted for matched normal and tumor materials. Whole exome sequencing was performed on matched normal and tumor tissues of 12 patients and RNA sequencing was performed on 10 patients. For 7 of these patients, we have both exome as well as RNA sequencing data. In this study, we present a complex genomic landscape of Sezary syndrome with several point mutations, copy number variations and fusion events which could contribute to the pathogenesis of SS.

• Pharmacogenomics of Mercaptopurine Intolerance in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (AALL03N1)

  Mercaptopurine (MP) is the mainstay of curative therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to comprehensively identify the genetic basis of MP intolerance in children with ALL in AALL03N1. MP dose intensity was defined as prescribed dose divided by the planned protocol dose during maintenance therapy.  Germline variants in NUDT15 and TPMT were found to be strongly associated with MP intolerance in childhood ALL, which may have implications for treatment individualization in this disease.

• Kids First: Genetic Basis of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

  Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is estimated to occur in at least 1-5% of all children in the USA and is a major public health issue. However, in addition to alcohol, other susceptibility factors, such as maternal or fetal genetic variation, must play a role as not all children prenatally exposed to alcohol are similarly affected. The proposed study will examine the role of genetic susceptibility for FASD. This work will help to inform more effective intervention efforts for this common congenital disorder.

• Metatranscriptomic Sequencing of Pre-Transplant Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Patients

  Children with malignancies, immunodeficiencies, and other life-threatening diseases sometimes receive allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) as a treatment for their disease. The HCT process can be complicated by the development of lung disease from infection, alloreactivity, or other causes. To identify patients at-risk for post-HCT lung disease, this study uses metatranscriptomic RNA sequencing of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) obtained prior to HCT. Sequencing results are associated with the development of post-HCT lung injury.

• 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.
