• Assessing Individual Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patient Response to Therapy Through Integration of Functional and Genomic Data

  This study combines RNA sequencing (RNASeq), whole exome sequencing (WES), reverse phase protein array (RPPA) and copy number variation (CNV) data, along with a custom high throughput inhibitor assay to characterize tumor cells from patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), in order to identify potential therapy targets on an individual patient basis. The data that will be available through dbGaP include the RNASeq, WES, RPPA and array CNV data for the tumor and matched normal samples. This study represents a proof-of-concept. No treatments were administered to patients as part of this study.

• Single-Cell Transcriptomic Characterization of Microscopic Colitis

  Patients with microscopic colitis (MC), chronic diarrhea without histological signs of MC, or unaffected controls were profiled using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq; inDrops and 10X Genomics were used). One profiled patient without clinical symptoms was found to have histological signs of MC (asymptomatic MC). Some of the subjects from dbGaP study phs003418 are controls in this study. T-Cell Receptor sequencing (TCR-Seq) was also performed on a subset of patients. Individual transcriptomes were analyzed to characterize the cellular profile associated with MC and search for mediators of disease pathology. Raw reads and processed count matrices will be available through dbGaP.

• RNA Sequencing Analysis of Patient-Derived Xenograft Tissue PIM-084 Treated with L-NMMA+Alpelisib vs Vehicle Control

  This dataset contains RNA-seq analysis of vehicle control compared to L-NMMA+alpelisib treated metaplastic breast cancer PDX PIM084 tumors (RNA sequencing and analysis performed by Novogene). The submitted data contains the gene ID, gene name, normalized read counts from all samples from control group and combination treatment group, log2-fold change derived from DESeq2 R/EdgeR package, p-value, adjusted p-value, read counts from each group, and gene FPKM from the each sample in the group. Due to patient privacy, we are submitting only the processed and desensitized RNA sequencing analysis to this repository.

• Vitamin-D-Kids Asthma

  The Vitamin D Kids Asthma Study (VDKA) was a 48-week multicenter randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of vitamin D3 for severe asthma exacerbations in children 6-16 years old, recruited from February 28, 2016 to September 20, 2019. An ancillary study for nasal sampling was conducted at the Pittsburgh site. Prior to randomization, participants completed questionnaires and underwent collection of nasal samples for gene expression studies. VDKA was approved by the IRBs of all participating institutions, and the ancillary study was approved by the IRB of the University of Pittsburgh. Written parental consent was obtained for participating children, from whom written assent was also obtained.

• Single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-seq of Embryonal Tumor with Multilayered Rosettes (ETMR)

  Embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes (ETMR) is a pediatric brain tumor with dismal prognosis. We analyzed eleven ETMR patient samples using single-cell transcriptomics. We reveal a spatially distinct cellular hierarchy that spans highly proliferative neural stem-like cells and more differentiated neuron-like cells. C19MC is predominantly expressed in stem-like cells and controls a transcriptional network governing stemness and lineage commitment. Systematic analysis of receptor-ligand interactions between malignant cell types reveals FGFR and NOTCH signaling as oncogenic pathways. Our study provides fundamental insights into ETMR pathobiology and a powerful rationale for more effective targeted therapies.

• Development of molecular targeted therapy for small cell lung cancer by comprehensive genome analysis

  Aims: Identifying new therapeutic targets of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), genome-wide mutation analysis has been performed. Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed or methanol-fixed tissue samples. 71 Mb of DNA fragments containing whole coding exons were concentrated using SureSelect Human All Exon V4+UTRs Kit (Agilent Technologies) followed by 100-bp paired end sequencing by HiSeq 2000 (Illumina). Participants/Materials: 51 of 1042 cases of pathologically diagnosed small seen lung cancer that were registered to National Cancer Hospital East Lung Cancer Database in 1992-2012, and which surgically resected or biopsy samples were suitable for DNA extraction for further analyses.

• The evolutionary landscape of colorectal tumorigenesis

  The genetic events that cause colorectal adenomas to progress to carcinomas remain largely undetermined. Using multi-region genome/exome sequencing of 24 benign and malignant colorectal tumours, we probe the evolutionary fitness landscape occupied by these neoplasms. Unlike carcinomas, advanced adenomas frequently harbour sub-clonal driver mutations, hence lack selective sweeps, and have relatively high genetic heterogeneity. Carcinomas are distinguished from adenomas not by nucleotide-level mutations (drivers or burden), but by widespread aneusomies that are usually clonal and often accrue in a “punctuated” fashion. Adenomas evolve across an undulating fitness landscape, whereas carcinomas occupy a sharper fitness peak, probably owing to stabilising selection.

• Genome Wide Association Study:GR@ACE Stage I

  The Genome Research program at Fundacio ACE (GR@ACE, Barcelona, Spain), represents a new effort to study Alzheimer's Disease susceptibility. The GR@ACE study comprises 7,409 unrelated individuals. 4,120 AD cases were diagnosed at Fundació ACE Memory Clinic (Barcelona, Spain). 3,289 Controls were obtained from three collections (Fundació ACE, Barcelona; DNA National Biobank, Salamanca and HU Valme, Seville). Genotyping was carried out using the 815K Axiom Spain Biobank array (Affymetrix.) in the Spanish national center for genotyping (CEGEN, Santiago de Compostela, Spain). After genotyping, an extensive quality control was conducted, including re-sampling, gender match, stratification, relatedness, heterozygosity, differential missingness and HWD analyses.

• Exome-wide somatic mutation characterization of small bowel adenocarcinoma

  Small intestinal adenocarcinoma (SIA) is a rare and aggressive form of cancer with limited treatment options. To further characterize the somatic mutation landscape of this tumor type, exome sequencing was conducted on a population-based set of SIA samples from all three parts of the small intestine. Archival tissue from 106 tumors with comprehensive clinical patient information entered exome sequencing from a patient series consisting of SIA cases diagnosed in Finland between the years 2003-2011. Paired-end exome sequencing was performed using Illumina HiSeq 4000, and OncodriveFML was used to identify significantly mutated genes from the exome data. Also mutational signature and pathway enrichment analyses were performed.

• WGS___Exploration_of__mutational_processes_in_human_cancer_cell_lines

  Approximately 25 cell lines representative of 11 mutation signatures have been selected and will be grown from a single cell, referred to as parental clone, for a period of 3 months to allow accumulation of mutations. Following that period, we will obtain 2 subclones from each of the parental clone for analysis by exome-sequencing . In total we will therefore be sequencing 2 parental clones and 4 subclones per cell line for approximately 25 cell lines. Once the data has been analysed and the potential ongoing mutation processes determined, we will perform whole-genome sequencing of the parental clones and subclones of the candidate cell lines.
