• 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.

• High-Throughput and High-Dimensional Single Cell Analysis of Antigen-Specific CD8+ T Cells

  We developed a high-dimensional, tetramer associated T cell receptor sequencing (TetTCR-SeqHD) method to simultaneously profile cognate antigen specificities, TCR sequences, targeted gene-expression, and surface protein expression. Cultured antigen-specific CD8+ T cell clones were studied as a proof-of-concept experiment. In addition, both the antigen specific CD8+ T cells from healthy subjects and Type I diabetic patients were investigated. 18 individually consented subjects pooled into four groups for sample processing

• 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.

• Genomic Analysis of Pre-Treatment and Autopsy Glioblastoma Specimens

  We performed whole exome sequencing data of pre-treatment glioblastoma specimens, matched to post-treatment recurrent intracranial autopsy samples and metastatic extracranial post-treatment autopsy samples. We identified early genetic events common to the evolutionary ancestry of both pre-treatment glioblastoma and later recurrences. We demonstrated that there were no protein-coding mutations as recurrent truncal events across the majority of the cohort. In contrast, we identified four truncal non-coding genomic alterations that likely represent the precursor cell population of glioblastoma.

• CCG Multicentric Italian Lung Detection (MILD)

  For the CCG-MILD project, NCI will utilize whole genome sequencing and/or whole exome sequencing in conjunction with transcriptome sequencing to try to identify recurrent genetic alterations (mutations, deletions, amplifications, rearrangements) and/or gene expression signatures that would be important to the hypothesis(es) submitted by the investigators. The samples will be processed and submitted for genomic characterization using the established NCI Genome Characterization Pipeline. Subsequent genomic and clinical data will be hosted at the NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC).

• The Hypertension-Insulin Resistance Family Study (HTN-IR)

  The HTN-IR Study, funded by NHLBI, was designed to explore genetic contributions to hypertension and glucose homeostasis traits among Hispanics using a family-based design. The baseline examination of the cohort included the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp test from which the two key phenotypes were obtained: insulin sensitivity (M) and metabolic clearance rate of insulin (MCRI). Genome-wide genotyping was obtained under separate funding by NIDDK as a part of the GUARDIAN (Genetics Underlying Diabetes in Hispanics) Consortium.

• 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.

• Metagenomic study of the human skin microbiome associated with acne

  Acne vulgaris affects 17 million Americans, more than 80% of the people of age 12-24. The goal of this study is to investigate the relationship between acne pathogenesis and the skin microbiota residing in the microcomedones. This study will enroll approximately 100 healthy individuals and acne patients, both male and female with age 13 or older. Data obtained from this study will help better understand the disease pathogenesis and may lead to the development of new effective therapeutic strategies for treatment of acne.

• NHLBI TOPMed: Cleveland Clinic Atrial Fibrillation (CCAF) Study

  The Cleveland Clinic Atrial Fibrillation Study consists of clinical and genetic data of patients with atrial fibrillation and control cohorts from the Cleveland Clinic CV/Arrhythmia Biobank, including the Cleveland Clinic Lone Atrial Fibrillation GeneBank. The Cleveland Clinic Lone AF GeneBank Study has enrolled patients with lone AF, defined as AF in the absence of significant structural heart disease. The CV/Arrhythmia Biobank has also enrolled participants with non-lone atrial fibrillation. All patients provided written informed consent.

• 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.
