• Mucosal Melanoma Targeted Exome Sequencing Study (UCSF)

  Mucosal melanoma is a deadly disease that carries the worst prognosis amongst subtypes of melanoma. Like all melanomas, mucosal melanomas are frequently driven by activating mutations in the MAPK and/or PI3K pathways; however, unlike melanomas that arise on sun-exposed skin, mucosal melanomas harbor few point mutations. Instead, most somatic alterations involve structural alterations, which appear early during tumor progression. Molecular studies in mucosal melanoma generally only profile point mutations without interrogating copy number alterations, and pathogenic mutations are only found in 30% of cases. We sequenced 38 mucosal melanomas, and in addition to profiling point mutations, we looked for copy number alterations that amplify oncogenes or delete tumor suppressors.

• Paired Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Epigenetics Study on Epialleles and Clonality

  We describe methclone, a novel method to identify epigenetic loci that harbor large changes in the clonality of their epialleles (epigenetic alleles). Methclone efficiently analyzes genome-wide DNA methylation sequencing data. We quantify the changes using a composition entropy difference calculation and also introduce a new measure of global clonality shift, loci with epiallele shift per million loci covered, which enables comparisons between different samples to gauge overall epiallelic dynamics.

• National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Amish Mennonite Bipolar Genetics Study (AmBiGen)

  Bipolar affective disorder is a severe, heritable condition affecting about one percent of the population. The mode of inheritance is poorly understood and probably involves multiple loci of small to moderate effect. In this project, we use genetic mapping and sequencing methods to identify genetic markers and variations that contribute to the risk of bipolar disorder. Individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder are studied, along with their relatives. Phenotypic information obtained from clinical interviews and family history is correlated with genotypic information obtained from genetic marker and sequencing methods. The goal is to identify genes involved in bipolar disorder and related conditions so that better methods of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention can be developed.

• Sequencing data of tumor tissue obtained from GANNET53 study patients

  The GANNET53 clinical trial evaulated novel treatment options for ovarian cancer patients with platinum-resistant relapse. Archival fresh-frozen paraffin embedded tissue was available from 131 of the 133 enrolled patients. NGS sequencing aimed at assessing the mutational spectrum of key ovarian cancer genes (with a focus on TP53), and their relevance for therapy resistance. From available FFPE samples, DNA was extracted and NGS sequenced using the SureSeq™ Ovarian Cancer Panel and the NGS Library Preparation kit covering all exons of 7 key ovarian cancer genes BRCA1, BRCA2,TP53, PTEN, ATM, ATR, NF1 for single nucleotide variants (SNV) and indels. Finally, sequence data from 118 individual FFPE tumor tissue samples were generated.

• SCI-MAP: Single Cell Microgel embedded iPS-cells to map molecular variability of cell differentiation using a systems biology approach

  In the SCI-MAP project we will map cell states encountered across a previously established 49 day in vitro chondrogenic differentiation protocol. We do this to optimise the differentiation process for therapeutic and in vitro modelling ends. We collect epigenetic open chromatin and phenotypic transcriptome data to determine cell states and so performed single nucleus sequencing in two modalities: RNA- and ATAC-sequencing. Data was collected in a time series experiment at 7 points: Days 0, 3, 6, 8, 14, 21, and 49, starting with the first pilot data from day 21 (D21) then the actual experiment time series 1 (TS1) of days 0, 3, 6, 8, 14, and 49.

• The European Bank for Induced Pluripotent stem cells (EBiSC) is designed to address the increasing demand by iPSC researchers for quality-controlled, disease-relevant research grade iPSC lines, data and cell services.In this study Whole Genome Sequencing was performed on a selection of lines from the project.

  Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have the potential to significantly advance drug development and health research, yet collections of stem cells are scattered across the world, their quality cannot always be guaranteed, and accessing them is often difficult. The goal of EBiSC is to establish a European iPS cell bank that will be the ‘go-to’ resource for the characterisation, storage and distribution of high quality iPS cells. Ultimately, EBiSC will become an independent organisation, distributing high quality iPS cells on a not-for-profit basis to scientists worldwide.

• Whole blood RNAseq from a large ALS case-control study at Univ of Michigan

  Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a rare fatal neurodegenerative disease, face a lengthy diagnostic process, and, although most survive only 2 to 4 years from diagnosis, lack information regarding their specific anticipated disease course due to a lack of prognostic tools. Although ALS is a heterogeneous disease of varied etiology, peripheral immune system dysfunction is ubiquitous, reflected in altered whole blood transcriptome. Herein, we profiled whole blood gene expression by RNA sequencing in a large cohort of ALS cases versus controls. Several machine learning classifiers trained on our gene expression dataset predicted case-control status and survival, and integration analysis with external cohorts led to the identification of drug candidates.

• A Cultured Leukemia Stem Cell Model Enables Validation of CDK6 as a Stemness Target Against Acute Myeloid Leukemia

  Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) represents a group of aggressive hematological malignancies, the clinical management of which is made challenging due to the persistence of rare and therapy resistant leukemia stem cells (LSCs) which serve as a source of disease relapse and poor outcomes. There are currently a paucity of methods to reliably enrich and study LSCs, hindering the development of therapies that specifically target LSCs. In this study, we deeply characterize the OCI-AML8227 culture model, which maintains a functional stemness hierarchy originating from its highly primitive CD34⁺CD38⁻ cells, to elucidate LSC biology and uncover LSC-specific therapeutic vulnerabilities. We analyzed both bulk and single-cell proteomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics to generate a LSC protein-protein interaction network, which was then integrated with an LSC-focused small molecule screen using this model. From these findings, CDK6 was discovered as a therapeutic vulnerability specific to LSCs, which was validated in findings from the BEAT-AML cohort and a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) panel of AML samples through palbociclib treatment. Taken together, our studies validate CDK6 as a druggable vulnerability in LSCs, and authenticate OCI-AML8227 cells as a LSC target discovery engine.

• Use of Deep Sequencing to Dectect Clonal Mutations In Sun Exposed Skin Epidermis PART2

  This study aims to define the landscape of somatic mutations in sun exposed human skin by deep sequencing, analyse their frequency and use the data to infer the effect of mutations on proliferating cell behaviour. The frequency of each mutation will reflect the size of the clone of cells in the tissue sample. By analyzing small samples, clones with as few as 100 cells will be detectable. Allele frequency distributions for each mutation will be used to infer cell fate using published methods (Klein et al. 2010). This study will shed unprecedented light on the early clonal events that lead to the emergence of cancer.

• sWGS of HGSOC samples for fixative comparison study

  Shallow whole-genome sequencing of samples from the study "Methanol-based fixation is superior to buffered formalin for next-generation sequencing of DNA from clinical cancer samples". DNA from each sample (100ng) was sheared on Covaris S220 (Covaris): duty cycle - 10%, intensity -5.0, bursts per sec - 200, duration - 300 sec, mode - frequency sweeping, power - 23V, temperature -5:5 C to 6 C, water level - 13. Libraries were prepared with the TruSeq Nano DNA LT Sample Prep Kit (Illumina) using a modi?ed protocol - Sample Puri?cation Beads were replaced by Agencourt AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coultier) and size selection after the End Repair was done to remove only the short fragments. Quality and quantity for contructed libraries were assessed with DNA 7500 kit on Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and with Kapa Quanti?cation kit (KAPA Biosystems) on 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) according to the supplier's recommendations, respectively. Libraries from 18 barcoded samples were pooled together in equimolar amounts and each pool was loaded on a single lane of a HiSeq Single End Flowcell (Illumina), followed by cluster generation on a cBot (Illumina) and sequencing on a HiSeq 2500 (Illumina) in a single-read 50bp mode. Reads were aligned using bwa-mem v0.7.12-r1039 to the 1000 genomes version of human genome build GRCh37. Picard (http://picard.sourceforge.net) was used to remove duplicate reads.

• Targeted replication of LVOTO genes

  Non-syndromic cases of congenital heart defects (CHD) exhibit variable modes of inheritance (Mendelian and non-Mendelian). Several studies have identified strong candidates in humans by taking a candidate gene approach as well as by using whole exome next generation sequencing (NGS). So far these studies could only explain a minor fraction of the observed phenotype in humans, most of them in syndromic cases and no single study has focused on the subset of cases with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). To discover novel disease-causing genes a large cohort of patients with LVOTO, approximately 100 cases, 25 families and 100 trios have been exome sequenced. This study based on NGS sequencing data yielded several known and novel compelling candidate genes, such as MYH6, NR2F2 and MYH11, but also novel ones, such as ITGB4. To evaluate the significance of our findings in a replication cohort we assembled another 1614 cases with an LVOTO phenotype from our collaborators in Toronto, Berlin and Amsterdam. Targeted resequencing in this additional cohort will help to find additional cases with mutations in the identified candidate genes to strengthen genotype-phenotype association. We will use control data from the INTERVAL project for case/control analyses The pulldowns will be performed as 24-plex ISC with 192 or greater indexes, and the sequencing will be performed with 192 samples per lane, requiring 9 lanes of sequencing.

  Birth cohort studies involve repeated surveys of large numbers of individuals from birth and throughout their lives. They collect information useful for a wide range of life course research domains, and biological samples which can be used to derive data from an increasing collection of omic technologies. This rich source of longitudinal data, when combined with genomic data, offers the scientific community valuable insights from population genetics to rare disease associations. Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC)recruited 14,775 babies of predominantly White ethnicity in the Avon county of south-west England between 1991 and 1992. Born in Bradford (BiB) is similarly focused on a particular local area, the city of Bradford in the north of England, and recruited 13,858 babies between 2007 and 2011, of whom ~41% self-report as white British and ~59% as other ethnicities, predominantly Pakistani. Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) is a national cohort that recruited 18,827 children born between 2000 and 2002, intentionally over-sampling areas with high child poverty, large ethnic minority populations, and smaller UK nations (Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) Available here is a subset of exome-sequenced parents and children from these studies (CRAMS and post-QC VCFs) as detailed in https://doi.org/10.12688/wellcomeopenres.22697 [doi.org].

• Exploring the driver events of eccrine poromas and porocarcinomas: A retrospective, cross-institutional study of 90 cases

  Eccrine poroma (EP) and porocarcinoma (EPC) are rare benign and malignant adnexal neoplasms of the terminal sweat gland duct, respectively. Both can arise de novo, however, EPCs can also arise from a pre-existing EP. To-date, genetic investigation of these tumors has involved studies with small sample sizes and/or limited analyses. To comprehensively compare the driver events and mutational landscape of these tumors, we performed a retrospective multi-institutional whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing study on the largest cohort of EPs and EPCs to-date (n=90). We uncovered novel events and delineated different pathways of tumorigenesis underlying these tumors, with EPs driven largely by fusion genes, and EPCs driven largely by somatic mutations, with rare YAP1 and frequent PAK gene novel fusions.

• Developmental Mechanisms of Human Congenital Heart Disease in Subjects with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (DiGeorge Syndrome/Velocardiofacial Syndrome)

  The study is designed to identify genetic modifiers of cardiovascular defects in subjects with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS), also known as DiGeorge syndrome or velo-cardio-facial syndrome. Affymetrix 6.0 arrays were processed on 1,480 subjects with known cardiovascular anomalies or with normal structures, all with 22q11.2DS. One sample is a duplicate so it was removed. There are 1,472 samples total of unrelated, de-identified, probands. Over 90% have the same sized 3 million base pair deletion flanked by low copy repeats (LCR22) A and D, while approximately 6% have nested A to B deletions. The rest have other nested deletions, that include a deletion in the vicinity of TBX1 (between LCR22 A and B). A subset of the data was used to identify copy number variations serving as modifiers. Some data were previously published by Dr. Emanuel's team at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in PA, USA (PMID:26742502; PMID:4896312; PMID:25892112; PMID:4570279). The de-identified DNA data from unrelated subjects come from multiple research sites in the US and Europe as part of the International 22q11.2 Consortium and the International 22q11.2 Brain and Behavior Consortium.

• Primary Prostate Tumor Tissue DNA Methylation Profiles

  The study cohort includes 525 Caucasian and African American prostate cancer (PCa) patients who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) as primary therapy for clinically localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate. These patients were previously enrolled in one of two population-based studies: 1) men 40-64 years of age, diagnosed between January 1993 and December 1996; and, 2) men 35-74 years of age, diagnosed between January 2002 and December 2005. Gleason grade and sum, diagnostic PSA, and pathological tumor stage were obtained from the SEER cancer registry. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded prostate tumor tissue blocks were obtained from RP specimens and used to make hematoxalin and eosin stained slides, which were reviewed by pathologists to confirm the presence/location of adenocarcinoma. For each patient two 1-mm tumor tissue cores from the dominant lesion that were enriched with >=75% tumor cells were taken for DNA purification. The RecoverAll Total Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (Ambion/Applied Biosciences, Austin, TX) was used to extract DNA, which was then quantified (PicoGreen), aliquoted onto 96-well plates and shipped to Illumina for DNA methylation profiling using the Infinium® HumanMethylation450 BeadChip.

  The present study compares transcript and protein regulation in peripheral blood of adult and juvenile dermatomyositis (DM) patients vs. healthy control subjects to identify novel pathways in active patients under treatment. Whole blood data is submitted representing transcript and protein expression, including 14 adult DM and 11 juvenile DM (JDM) patients, and 11 healthy pediatric controls. Whole blood RNA was examined using Affymetrix Human U133 Plus 2.0, and whole blood protein measurements were obtained using SOMAscan Assay v3.2 aptamer-based DNA probes.Expression of 1,124 gene loci were significantly altered at the transcript or protein levels across DM or JDM, with 70 genes shared. A subset of interferon-stimulated genes was elevated. Innate immune markers specific to neutrophil granules and neutrophil extracellular traps were up-regulated in both DM and JDM. Pathway analysis revealed up-regulation of PI3K/AKT, ERK, and p38 MAPK signaling. Up-regulated components shared by DM and JDM included: cytokine:receptor pairs LGALS9:HAVCR2, LTF/NAMPT/S100A8/HSPA1A:TLR4, CSF2:CSF2RA, EPO:EPOR, FGF2/FGF8:FGFR; several Bcl-2 components; and numerous glycolytic enzymes. Pathways unique to DM included sirtuin signaling, aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling, protein ubiquitination, and granzyme B signaling.

• Circulating RNA profiles of healthy and preeclamptic pregnancies

  This prospective study investigated whether circulating RNA (C-RNA; cell free RNA present in the bloodstream) measurements could non-invasively monitor pregnancy status, with emphasis on detecting molecular markers associated with preterm preeclampsia. Whole blood samples were collected from pregnant women at the time of diagnosis with early-onset preeclampsia with severe features. Blood samples were also obtained normotypical control pregnancies and from patients diagnosed with late-onset preeclampsia for comparison. For all samples, C-RNA was extracted from 4 mL blood and whole transcriptome enrichment performed on cDNA libraries prior to sequencing to a target depth of 50M reads on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. Throughout the course of this work, whole transcriptome RNA sequencing data was obtained from 289 C-RNA samples collected from 178 subjects. The complete dataset consists of samples from the following cohorts: Illumina Preeclampsia Cohort (iPEC): 40 pregnancies at the time of early-onset preeclampsia diagnosis and 73 gestational age-matched controls PEARL preeclampsia cohort: 12 early-onset and 12 late-onset preeclampsia patients PEARL healthy control cohort: 152 longitundinal samples collected from 41 healthy pregnancies

• Nicotine dependence GWAS meta-analysis across European and African American ancestries

  Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality. Knowledge is evolving on genetics underlying initiation, regular smoking, nicotine dependence (ND), and cessation. We performed a genome-wide association study using the Fagerström Test for ND (FTND) in 58,000 smokers of European or African ancestry. Five genome-wide significant loci, including two novel loci MAGI2/GNAI1 (rs2714700) and TENM2 (rs1862416) were identified, and loci reported for other smoking traits were extended to ND. Using the heaviness of smoking index (HSI) in the UK Biobank (N=33,791), rs2714700 was consistently associated, but rs1862416 was not associated, likely reflecting ND features not captured by the HSI. Both variants were cis-eQTLs (rs2714700 for MAGI2-AS3 in hippocampus, rs1862416 for TENM2 in lung), and expression of genes spanning ND-associated variants was enriched in cerebellum. SNP-based heritability of ND was 8.6%, and ND was genetically correlated with 13 other smoking traits (rg=0.40-0.95) and co-morbid diseases. Our results emphasize the FTND as a composite phenotype that expands genetic knowledge of smoking, including loci specific to ND.

• Genetic Basis of Breast Cancer Resistance in BRCA1 Mutation Carrier

  Our study addressed a specific question in NCI RFA-CA-12-022: "What underlying causal events - e.g., genetic, epigenetic, biologic, behavioral, or environmental - allow certain individuals to survive beyond the expected limits of otherwise highly lethal cancers?". A germline mutation in BRCA1 (BRCA1+) is the most penetrant genetic predisposition for breast cancer. Nevertheless, a portion of BRCA1+ carriers does not develop breast cancer in their lifetime, suggesting that the genetic predisposition can be antagonized by resistant factors. BRCA1+ was inherited from an ancestor of the carrier family thousand years ago. We hypothesize that evolution could select certain genetic components to suppress oncogenesis caused by the predisposition. We compared germline variants in all genes in 27 pairs of breast cancer-unaffected and -affected BRCA1+ carriers, each pair inherited the same BRCA1+. We identified 12 deleterious variants enriched in breast cancer-unaffected carriers, all are common variants. A variant rs3735400 is located in ANLN, a cytokinesis-essential gene. Overexpression of variant-containing ANLN and suppressed expression of endogenous ANLN decrease ANLN nuclear localization and delay cell growth. Our findings suggest that common variants can be selected to resist oncogenesis imposed by BRCA1+.

• Whole Exome and Transcriptome Sequencing in Sporadic ALS

  Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a fatal and devastating neurodegenerative disorder that causes the progressive death of upper and lower motor neurons. Although many efforts have been done to elucidate molecular factors involved in the onset and progression of the disorder, the causes of ALS are yet unknown and undefined. Transcriptome studies, based mostly on microarrays, have revealed multiple perturbations of the motor neuron function, supporting the current idea that several cellular events contribute to the pathobiology of the disease, including mitochondrial dysfunction, enhanced apoptosis, glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity, free radical injury, protein misfolding, abnormal calcium metabolism and altered axonal transport. In the present study, we have deeply sequenced the whole transcriptome of ventral horns of the human lumbar spinal cord from matched control and ALS post-mortem donors. Whole exome sequencing from the same donors has also been performed to exclude known genetic variants associated to the familiar form of ALS. In addition, to characterize the ALS transcriptome we have sequenced the RNA fraction at low molecular weight in the same tissues and individuals. Genomic and transcriptomic reads have been generated using the Illumina HiSeq2000 sequencer.

• Next Generation Mendelian Genetics: Neonatal Diabetes

  The NHGRI Next Generation Mendelian Genetics project uses exome resequencing to identify variants in unsolved Mendelian diseases. Neonatal diabetes mellitus (ND) is a rare form of monogenic diabetes (90,000-260,000 live births) that is diagnosed in the first 6 months of life. The disease has been classified as transient or permanent and although it can be inherited, more frequently is sporadic as a result of 'de novo' mutations. Defects in 12 genes have been found as responsible for the disease (defects in the paternally imprinted chromosomal region 6q24, IPF1, SLCA2A, INS, EIF2AK3, GCK, FOXP3, GLIS3, PTF1A, HNF1Beta, KCNJ11 and ABCC8). The two subunits of the ATP-sensitive K channel (ABCC8 and KCNJ11) and the insulin gene (INS), account for almost half of the cases and similar to CHI, the other half, remains genetically unexplained. We became part of this study when we submitted 4 DNA samples for exome sequencing, from patients with NDM of Caucasian ancestry, which had no mutations identified in ABCC8 or KCNJ1, with the goal to identify new mutations in known genes or new mutations or genetic variants in new genes.

• Characterizing TP53 and PPM1D Mutations as Resistance Drivers to Radiation Therapy in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas

  Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs), encompassing diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) and hemispheric tumors, represent the most common cause of cancer-related deaths in children age 0-14 years. Over the last decade, several landmark papers have revealed recurrent single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the core histones H3.3 and H3.1, co-occurring with alterations in the TP53 signaling pathway and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). However, the contribution of structural variants (SVs) to gliomagenesis has not been systematically explored. We performed a comprehensive analysis of whole genome sequencing (WGS) data on pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs) from 179 children, including 61 hemispheric tumors and 118 diffuse midline gliomas, or DMGs, of which 61 are novel to this study. Among the DMGs, 84 (71%) were from pre-treatment biopsies including 33 obtained from the first multi-institutional North American clinical trial to incorporate diagnostic biopsies. This represents the largest cohort of pretreatment DMGs with whole genome sequencing to date. This large cohort of whole genome sequences provides an unparalleled opportunity to assess significantly recurrent structural variants in pHGG and their associations with driver SNVs and SCNAs.

• Genomic Data Archive From the Network for Pancreatic Organ Donors With Diabetes

  The Network for Pancreatic Organ Donors with Diabetes (nPOD) is the largest biorepository of human pancreata from organ donors with type 1 diabetes (T1D), maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), gestational diabetes, and islet autoantibody positive (AAb+)/pre-T1D. The mission of the nPOD is to distribute biospecimens and associated de-identified data/metadata to an international researcher network, and to promote the development of new treatments for these diabetes conditions. Here, we describe the release of high-parameter genotyping data for the nPOD cohort. Specifically, 372 subjects were genotyped using a customized precision medicine single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarray (UFDIchip). These data were technically validated using published algorithms to evaluate donor relatedness, ancestry, imputed HLA, and T1D genetic risk score. Additionally, 207 subjects were queried for rare known and novel coding region variants via whole exome sequencing (WES). These data are now publicly available, enabling genotype-selected sample requests and the study of novel genotype : phenotype associations, ultimately to explain diabetes heterogeneity and inform precision medicine strategies to interrupt diabetes pathogenesis.

• Youth Drug Abuse, ADHD and Related Disorders

  There are two major aims with this study. 1. To describe the developmental trajectory of (a) a community-based sample of youth with a childhood diagnosis of ADHD that has been prospectively followed from childhood into adulthood (approximately a 17-year span), and (b) a clinical sample of youth that received drug abuse treatment during adolescence (variable time span). 2. To examine the association of phenotypes of drug involvement severity and risk alleles that prior research has suggested to be associated with drug abuse and externalizing disorders. The sample (N=607) consists of three groups based on youth status: Treatment, High Risk, and Control. These groups are defined as follows: Treatment - attended treatment or a brief intervention for a substance use disorder during adolescence (n=402); High Risk - elevated scores on standardized measures of disruptive behaviors during childhood based on teacher and parent reports (n=142); Control - normative scores during childhood on standardized measures of disruptive behaviors based on teacher and parent reports, and absent of any DSM-based behavioral/mental disorder when assessed during childhood based on parent report (n=66). Among the 610 participants who provided DNA, 607 are usable samples.

• Genetics of Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma

  Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a common extranodal T-cell lymphoma primarily arising in the skin. In early disease stages, MF presents as skin patches and plaques that in some cases may progress to tumor and disperse to lymph nodes and other internal organs. The 10-year overall survival is 50% in advanced stages. Early diagnosis is difficult as the histology overlaps with features of inflammatory skin diseases. Even when the diagnosis is established, there are no prognostic markers that predict whether the disease will be aggressive or indolent. Lastly, there are no curative treatments and MF will invariably relapse, even after aggressive chemotherapy. The disease is a diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic challenge. The main objective of this study is to address the question of tumor heterogeneity in MF. To date, MF is considered to be monoclonal, derived from a transformed, mature memory T-cell. However, clinical observations and preliminary data suggest that MF comprises multiple subclones, which may be of importance for understanding disease evolution and resistance to therapy. We plan to address this objective using Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) of MF tissue prepared by laser microdissection (LMD).

• Impact of Race and Genetic Factors on Beta Blocker Effectiveness in Heart Failure

  Heart Failure (HF) continues to be an enormous public health problem, despite the many advances in its pharmacotherapy over the past 25 years. The availability of multiple therapeutic options for HF requires individualization of therapy. However, there are currently insufficient tools to guide the optimal selection of therapy. The expansion of human genomic information has led to exciting new opportunities to improve the selection of drug therapy. In order to evaluate whether genetic variation impacts outcomes and drug response in heart failure, we performed a cohort study of patients with heart failure. Our overall plan was to recruit patients who have heart failure and receive treatment through HAP-HFMG. This allowed us to collect clinical outcomes, and quantify medication adherence via electronic pharmacy claims data. We collected whole blood samples for genetic analysis. We then tested whether genetic variants can predict patient outcomes (survival) in the context of their medical therapy (drug exposure). The primary medications of interest were beta blockers. Outcomes were modeled overall, accounting for the amount of exposure to the agent, and adjusting for baseline characteristics.

• Comprehensive Epigenetic Landscape of Rheumatoid Arthritis Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes

  We characterized the epigenetic landscape of rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) compared with osteoarthritis FLS. Multiple technologies were used, including ChIP-seq to assay H3K27ac, H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K36me3, H3K27me3, and H3K9me3, ATAC-seq for chromatin accessibility, the transcriptome by RNA-seq and whole genomic bisulfite sequencing for DNA methylation. Integrative analysis was performed using a novel unbiased method to identify regions of the genome that have similar epigenetic marks. The regions that distinguished RA and osteoarthritis cells were primarily located in active enhancers and promoters. The regions and genes identified included immunological pathways. In addition, some unexpected pathways, most notably "Huntington's Disease Signaling", were discovered. The Huntington's Disease pathway was biologically validated for Huntingtin-interacting protein-1, which regulated invasive behavior of FLS. For a complete description, see R. Ai et al., Comprehensive epigenetic landscape of rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes. Nat Commun 9, 1921 (2018). Sequencing data of study participants are available through dbGaP's Authorized Access portal, while analyses of the sequencing data may be obtained through NCBI's GEO portal under GSE112658.

• Kids First: Whole Genome Sequencing of Nonsyndromic Craniosynostosis

  The Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (Kids First) is a trans-NIH effort initiated in response to the 2014 Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act and supported by the NIH Common Fund. This program focuses on gene discovery in pediatric cancers and structural birth defects and the development of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Data Resource (Kids First Data Resource). All of the WGS and phenotypic data from this study are accessible through dbGaP and kidsfirstdrc.org, where other Kids First datasets can also be accessed. Nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (NCS) is a common, major structural birth defect - due to the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures - that requires extensive surgical correction and is associated with considerable ongoing medical problems and health care costs. Because little is known about the causes of NCS, whole genome sequencing will help advance knowledge of genetic factors contributing to the etiology of NCS. Data from this project will lead to a better understanding of biological processes involved in the etiology of NCS and provide critical insights for development of early diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies.

• Extracorporeal Life Support Survival in a Pediatric Hematopoietic Cellular Transplant Recipient with Presumed Graft Versus Host Disease-Related Fulminant Myocarditis

  We report the case of a 15-year-old female with hypodiploid pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia status post allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) from a matched unrelated male donor who presented on transplant day +75 with cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation associated with fulminant myocarditis. Using conventional diagnostics, an exhaustive search for microbial pathogens in the heart biopsy as well as nasopharynx, blood, urine, and endotracheal aspirate was performed but did not uncover a candidate pathogen. The family consented to a research study for the use of unbiased next-generation genomic sequencing for pathogen identification in the myocardial biopsy. DNA sequencing was performed on 1.5 x 108 sequencing pairs and no microbial pathogens were identified. Interestingly, a significant component of Y-chromosomal human DNA was identified, suggesting infiltration of at least 10 donor leukocytes per host cell. This finding is grossly consistent with the lymphocyte:myocyte ratio in the biopsy according to visual inspection at 40x magnification. This case merits discussion due to (1) her survival after 17 days of veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (ECLS) and (2) the possibility of cardiotropic graft versus host disease (GVHD).

• Epigenetic Biomarkers of Aging

  The aim of the study was to discover new epigenetic biomarkers of aging. We used a genome-wide screen for genetic loci showing consistent changes of DNA methylation with progressive aging. Blood DNA samples from 19 apparently healthy individuals aged 22-80 years obtained from the NINDS repositories were analyzed for DNA methylation using Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing. We followed the New England Biolabs (NEB) protocol for methylated adaptors as described previously. Briefly, 1 microgram of genomic DNA was spiked with 100 picograms of lambda phage DNA as the unmethylated standard and digested with MspI endonuclease at C’CGG sites. Ends of restriction fragments were filled in, 3’-dA tailed and methylated adaptors were ligated to the ends of restriction fragments. Bisulfite treatment using the Epitect kit (Qiagen) followed. Bisulfite-converted libraries were amplified using EpiMark Taq DNA polymerase (NEB) and primers with dual barcode indices. The libraries were pooled and sequenced on Illumina HiSeqX instrument using paired end reads of 150 bases. We used Bismark v0.23.1 to align the sequences to hg19 human genome assembly. We used methylKit v1.22.0 to analyze differential methylation in individuals of different ages.

• CIDR Whole Exome Sequencing in Joubert Syndrome

  The purpose of this study is to identify new genetic causes of neurodevelopmental diseases (NDDs) in the Joubert syndrome (JS) spectrum. Joubert syndrome is a recessive disease characterized by cerebellar vermis hypoplasia. Our currently funded NINDS award entitled "Molecular characterization of Joubert syndrome" seeks to identify new genetic causes through a variety of molecular strategies. Although our previous strategies involved whole genome SNP-scans, followed by candidate gene sequencing to arrive at identification of new JS causes, we have recently moved to Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) as a highly efficient methodology that is optimized for recessive disease. In this pilot project, CIDR has sequenced DNA on probands from 20 inbred families with JS spectrum disorders in which known causes have been excluded, that have not previously undergone genome-wide SNP scans. These paired end reads will be subject to our established bioinformatics pipeline including HOMOZGYOSITY, SNP and INDEL callers in our lab to identify potentially deleterious sequence changes (PDSC). This is followed by analysis to include testing each PDSC for segregation in the whole pedigree, for occurrence in a ethnically-matched cohort, as well as a defined patient cohort patients, in order to validate new NDD genes.
