• two tables containing RNASeq expression values to patients with RNA-Seq data in the study "Comprehensive genomic characterization of refractory multiple myeloma (H067)"

  two tables containing RNASeq expression values to patients with RNA-Seq data in the study "Comprehensive genomic characterization of refractory multiple myeloma (HIPO_067)". From the bam files gene expression was calculated with the annotation of Gencode.v19. Raw Counts and TPM values are given in one table, the other contains filtered TMM normalized CPM values (genes < 1CPM omitted).

• Collaborative Study of Genes, Nutrients and Metabolites (CSGNM)

  While many genetic and metabolic studies focus on understanding disease states, this genome wide association study (GWAS) was designed to understand the influence of genetic variants on circulating metabolites and factors in normal, healthy individuals. Over 2500 healthy, ethnically Irish college students attending Trinity College Dublin completed a health and diet questionnaire and provided a non-fasting blood sample to be used for genetic and metabolic analysis. The questionnaire was designed to collect information on age, sex, height, weight, medical conditions, smoking, dietary habits, and consumption of alcohol, fortified foods, and supplements. Extracted DNA was genotyped using the Illumina HumanOmni1-Quad Beadchip. Metabolites were measured using a number of methods and focused on those relevant to the folate/vitamin B12 pathway.

• Genomic Regions Associated with Susceptibility to Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma in African Americans: The Cross BETRNet Admixture Study

  Differences in rates of diseases between different populations with similar environments are presumed to be secondary to variability in population frequencies of disease causing alleles. Recently admixed populations such as African Americans (AAs) provide a natural opportunity to identify disease-causing variants by examining the ancestry of long chromosomal haplotypes. Admixture mapping approach can be successful in locating genes for diseases such as EAC whose rates varies markedly between the ancestral populations. This is a case only study with 54 African American cases and also on a subset of 28 cases with high genotyping quality. We seek to identify chromosome regions that have excess European ancestry and contrasting it to excess African ancestry.

• Urothelial Cancer - Genomic Analysis to Improve Patient Outcomes and Research (UC-GENOME): A Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN)-Led Collaborative Research Pilot Study

  UC-GENOME is a real-world cohort of patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). The study consisted of two co-equal aims: 1) to provide targeted DNA sequencing for clinical decision making at no cost to patients; and 2) to create a resource for collaborative translational science including a clinically annotated biobank. The submitted data represents the foundational analysis of 218 patients accrued at 7 academic medical centers. The analysis includes 176 patients with both targeted DNA sequencing and RNA sequencing. The genomic data was combined with clinical variables to model response to chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Due to additional sharing restrictions, data from one site can be found in phs003094.

• Episodic Ataxia Syndrome: Longitudinal Study

  Individuals with episodic ataxia experience recurrent attacks of dizziness and incoordination; between attacks patients are typically normal. The majority of cases are likely caused by an inherited genetic mutation. However, in some patients we are unable to identify the mutation. So far, 2 genes have been identified which cause different types of episodic ataxia. Ultimately, when the actual mutation is identified the protein product of the gene can be studied and specific medications can be designed. During this study, we will clinically evaluate patients with EA and follow them over time to help us better characterize the disease. We will also obtain blood samples to test for the known genetic mutations. In the future, we plan to coordinate trials of medications for the treatment of these disorders.

• Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics - Digital Health Technologies (RADx-DHT): COVID-19 Experience Study (C19EX) Survey

  This was conducted virtually through the Achievement studies platform during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were asked to complete a survey every day to capture information about whether they had experienced symptoms corresponding to respiratory, ILI, and COVID-19 infections within the previous 24 hour period, their experiences with the healthcare system, treatments, diagnostic testing, and their behaviors and potential risk factors. Participants were also asked to share their wearable activity tracker data. The purpose of this study was to better understand the geographic spread of diseases, impacts on daily life, and behavioral and physiological functioning in relation to recent self-reported respiratory disease, influenza-like-illness (ILI), and coronavirus disease (COVID-19) events.DOI: https://rapids.ll.mit.edu/10.57895/6m5z-je42

• Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) Wu Lab/Avicenne CLL RNA-Seq Study

  Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a hematological malignancy characterized by accumulation of CD5+ B cells in peripheral lymphoid organs, bone marrow and blood. Recently, the advent of large-scale whole-exome sequencing of hundreds of CLL samples has led to gain a comprehensive understanding of the mutational landscape of this clonal B cell malignancy, but the functional effects of the putative driver mutations thus discovered are largely unknown. In this study, we analyze RNA-seq data from CLL patients to characterize dysregulated biological pathways regarding the presence of recurrent mutations. Source of tumor is patients' PBMC isolated from peripheral blood using the Ficoll method. Purity was confirmed using flow cytometry flow (>80% in all cases).

• NHLBI TOPMed - NHGRI CCDG: The Vanderbilt University BioVU Atrial Fibrillation Genetics Study

  Atrial fibrillation (also called AFib or AF) is a quivering or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications. At least 2.7 million Americans are living with AFib. Individuals with early onset atrial fibrillation (AF) are included in this study of cases from the BioVU sample repository. BioVU is Vanderbilt's biobank of DNA extracted from leftover and otherwise discarded clinical blood specimens. BioVU operates as a consented biorepository; all individuals must sign the BioVU consent form in order to donate future specimens. BioVU subjects are de-identified and linked to the Synthetic Derivative enabling researchers to access genetic data/DNA material as well as dense, longitudinal electronic medical record (EMR) information.

• The PRIME-AIR Study: Positive End-Expiratory Pressure, Recruitment, Incentive Spirometry, Muscle Relaxant Optimization, Preoperative Education, Postoperative Early Ambulation, Individualized, and Reinforced

  Data Access NOTE: Please refer to the "Authorized Access" section below for information about how access to the data from this accession differs from many other dbGaP accessions.The PRIME-AIR study ("Positive end-expiratory pressure, Recruitment, Incentive spirometry, Muscle relaxant optimization, preoperative Education, postoperative early Ambulation, Individualized, and Reinforced") was a prospective multi-center randomized controlled pragmatic trial, with a blinded assessor, to compare post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients with an individualized anesthetic-centered intervention (including individualized mechanical ventilation positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) management to maximize respiratory system compliance and minimize driving pressures, a neuromuscular agent and subsequent reversal, and post-operative lung expansion and early mobilization) versus usual care.

• A study of resistance to novel coronavirus infection in health care workers

  There have been cases of what appear to be nosocomial infections among healthcare workers at several hospitals. The infected healthcare workers were assumed to have contracted the disease through close contact with infected patients. However, we confirmed at each medical institution that there were many healthcare workers who had apparently had closer contact with infected patients than with infected patients, but had not contracted the disease. Thus, the purpose of this study was to clarify the internal factors that make individuals less susceptible to novel coronavirus infection and their stress tolerance, and to establish a system that contributes to the appropriate allocation of healthcare workers and the creation of a system that can more safely deal with this disease in the future.
