• Genetic Components of Knee Osteoarthritis (GeCKO) Study: The Osteoarthritis Initiative

  The Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) is a publicly and privately funded prospective longitudinal cohort with a primary objective of identifying risk factors for incidence and progression of tibiofemoral knee OA. The OAI utilized a focused population-based recruitment to enroll 4,674 men and women between the ages of 45-79 years who either had radiographic symptomatic knee OA or who were without radiographic symptomatic OA in both knees but were considered high risk for OA because they had two or more known risk factors for knee OA. Subjects were recruited into the baseline phase of the OAI at multiple sites throughout the US between 2004 and 2006. All subjects were invited back for follow-up examinations to assess incidence or progression of OA annually, for up to 5 years. Phenotype data from the baseline and follow-up examinations are available for public access from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) database at http://www.oai.ucsf.edu/. The Genetic Components of Knee Osteoarthritis (GeCKO) Study was initiated in 2009 as a genetic ancillary study to perform a genome-wide association study to identify genetic variants associated with radiographic osteoarthritis. This study included 4,482 individuals participating in the parent OAI study. Following sample cleaning (e.g., removal of duplicates, sex mismatches, poor sample quality, etc.), the final sample set included 4,129 individuals.

• Longitudinal Study of Genetic Causes of Intrahepatic Cholestasis

  This longitudinal observational study will investigate the natural history and progression of four genetic causes of intrahepatic cholestasis of childhood, including alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (α1-AT), Alagille syndrome (AGS), progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC), and bile acid synthesis defects (BAD). This study will be conducted as part of the Cholestatic Liver Disease Consortium (CLiC), an NIH-funded multi-centered Rare Disease Clinical Research Consortium. In this study, we will collect defined data elements in a uniform fashion at fixed intervals for five years over a relatively large number of patients with these rare disorders. In addition, a biobank of patient specimens and DNA samples will be established for use in ancillary studies to be performed in addition to this study. By comparing outcome measures between the four liver diseases (i.e., using each disorder as a disease-control for the other disorders), the full impact of each disorder can best be determined in comparison to the other liver diseases. Using the longitudinal database in this fashion, this study will provide an improved understanding of the effects of the cholestatic liver during childhood irrespective of the underlying etiology as well as to the pathophysiology, outcome, and complications of each of the disorders. This initial characterization will allow calculation of sample sizes for future therapeutic intervention clinical trials and provide the baseline to which interventions should be compared.

• Illumina HumanOmniExpress genotyping data from the TEENAGE (TEENs of Attica: Genes and Environment) study.

  The TEENAGE study is a cross-sectional study comprising healthy Greek adolescents. The study was conducted according to the guidelines specified in the Declaration of Helsinki and all procedures involving human subjects were approved by the Institutional Review Board of Harokopio University and the Greek Ministry of Education, Lifelong Learning and Religious Affairs. The TEENAGE study target population comprised adolescent students aged 13 to 15 years attending the first three classes of public secondary schools located in the wider Athens area of Attica. The regions across Attica from which students were recruited were physically similar and all urban in nature. Sampling of regions and schools selected to participate was random. Students were enrolled from the wider urban region to ensure that they were coming from families with varying educational background and socio-economic status. Moreover, in order to exclude any vast economic disparities, all participating schools were exclusively public schools, which are free of charge. A total of twenty-four schools participated in the study out of 285 junior secondary public schools in Attica. Anthropometric, medical and dietary information was obtained. DNA samples were genotyped using Illumina HumanOmniExpress BeadChips (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton, UK. Genotype calling algorithm used was Illuminus (Teo et al., 2007).

• Myocardial Infarction Genetics Exome Sequencing Consortium: German Heart Center in Munich

  The Munich-MI study is a case-control cohort study recruited at the German Heart Center in Munich, Germany. It is focused on understanding the genetic contributors to early myocardial-infarction (MI) in the German population. All exome sequencing was performed at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT; samples sequence capture was performed using Illumina's ICE Capture reagent and sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 or 2500.

• Myocardial Infarction Genetics Exome Sequencing Consortium: Registre Gironi del Cor

  The Registre Gironi del Cor (REGICOR) study developed a nested case-control cohort from the Girona province in Spain in order to study genetic factors associated with the development of coronary heart disease. All exome sequencing was performed at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT; samples sequence capture was performed using Agilent SureSelect Human All Exon Kit v2 and sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 or 2500.

• Multiregional Single-Cell Transcriptomic Analysis of Liver Cancer

  In this study, we performed single-cell transcriptomic profiling of human liver tissues collected from hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients. A total of seven primary liver cancer patients enrolled in this study. Samples were collected from multiple regions, including tumor core, tumor border and adjacent non-tumor tissue. The 10x Genomics platform was used to generate single cell 5' libraries. The Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform was employed for sequencing.

• The MALT1 Locus and Peanut Avoidance in the Risk for Peanut Allergy

  The LEAP study was a randomized controlled clinical trial in children at increased risk for peanut allergy, in which intervention using dietary introduction of peanut protein beginning in the first 4 to 11 months of life, continued until age 5 years, significantly decreased the frequency of peanut allergy later in childhood and modulated the immune response to peanuts. All subject phenotype data will be hosted on ITN Trial Share under the LEAP study.

• NHLBI TOPMed: Pathways to Immunologically Mediated Asthma (PIMA)

  Study designed to further our understanding of the pathogenesis of asthma exacerbations in children. Children enrolled in the study (n=217) were all asthmatic and primarily Hispanic white. The children were followed for 18 months until they experienced an asthma exacerbation or completed the follow-up without an exacerbation. The time to the first asthma exacerbation was considered the outcome. The acute and convalescent immune phenotype of each asthma exacerbation was documented.

• Systematic Identification of Minor Histocompatibility Antigens Informs Outcomes after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

  This study cohort is composed of 287 patients affected by myeloid disease (AML/MDS) who were subjected to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) from an HLA-matched related donor. For each study subject, we have collected genomic DNA from both donor and recipient (D-R). Resulting germline whole exome sequencing from D-R pairs has formed the basis for applying an analytical pipeline to systematically predict minor histocompatibility antigens (mHAgs)
