• Gene Expression and Epigenetic Analyses of Human Myocytes From Different Muscles

  The study contains expression and DNA methylation data of in vitro cultured myoblasts derived from biopsies of control, FSHD1 and FSHD2 patients from the tibialis anterior, quadricep, bicep and deltoid. Expression data is from bulk RNA-seq using the SmartSeq2 protocol for days 0 and 5 of in vitro differentiation of primary myocytes from the bicep and deltoid of FSHD1 patients. DNA methylation data was produced using the TruSeq Methyl Capture EPIC kit (Illumina) for days 0, 3 and 12 of in vitro differentiation of primary myocytes from the tibialis anterior and quadricep of healthy individuals and FSHD2 patients.

• Subtyping Sub-Saharan Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Comprehensive Molecular Analysis

  Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) occurs as much as 20x more frequently in sub-Saharan Africa than Western countries. Through the UNC-Malawi project collaboration we obtained whole-exome matched tumor/normal and RNA sequencing of 59 ESCC from Malawi between 2011-2012. DNA analysis revealed similar mutations as other cohorts, while RNA analysis revealed three distinct subtypes. Mutational signature analysis revealed a pattern of mutation not previously reported in other cohorts or more broadly. Taken together this suggests the high prevalence of ESCC in the region is secondary to an as yet identified mutagen.

• Whole Exome Sequencing of Uveal Melanoma

  Uveal melanoma is a rare form of melanoma that occurs in the eye and has no effective treatment once metastatic. To further characterize the genomic events driving uveal melanoma, whole exome sequencing was performed on 61 primary tumors derived from enucleations, 3 liver metasases, and paired normal DNA. Recurrent somatic genetic alterations including point mutations, small insertions and deletions, as well as copy number variations were identified. In addition, RNA sequencing of uveal melanoma cell lines expressing shRNAs was performed from total RNA as well as polysome-associated mRNA in order to identify transcripts regulated by EIF1AX at the level of translation.

• OCD Collaborative Genetic Association Study (OCGAS)

  The OCD Collaborative Genetics Association Study Group (OCGAS) was funded by NIMH to conduct a genome-wide association study to identify disease susceptibility loci of early-onset obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Collaborators at Johns Hopkins, Brown, Columbia, MGH, UCLA, and NIMH evaluated 2,000 individuals with OCD and collected DNA from these individuals and both their parents. The genotyping and analyses was performed in two stages. In the first stage 1,065 families (comprising 1406 patients with OCD and 2895 individuals in total) were genotyped on the Illumina OmniExpress GWA (SNPs) panel at the JHU SNP Center.

• RNA-Seq of Whole Blood from Pediatric Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) Patients

  The aim of this study is to define the immune cell transcriptome by next generation RNA sequencing in blood from individuals with SCA, in comparison to healthy African American controls. This study has a cross-sectional case-control design. We will compare the transcriptome profiles of blood mononuclear cells from healthy age-matched African American children without cardiovascular disease or risk factors (“Controls”) to those of children with SCA, age 5 -21 years, who are not receiving chronic red blood cell transfusions or hydroxyurea therapy to identify genes that are differentially expressed in SCA.

• Germline DNA Methylation Associated with Breast Cancer Predisposition

  Understanding and explaining hereditary predisposition to cancer has focused on the genetic etiology of the disease. However, mutations in known genes associated with breast cancer such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for less than 25% of familial cases of breast cancer. Heritable epigenetic modifications, in the form of hypermethylated MLH1 promoter alleles, have recently been shown to promote hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. We investigated the potential for an epigenetic basis for hereditary breast cancer by performing deep bisulfite sequencing of CpG islands and known promoter regions in germline DNA from 100 familial or early-onset breast or ovarian cancer patients.

• Single-Cell Transcriptomics of Adult Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis

  These single-cell sequencing data were generated from diseased respiratory tract papilloma tissue caused by chronic infection with HPV 6 or 11. Patients from which this tissue was derived participated in a phase I clinical trial using a novel therapeutic vaccine, but these samples were acquired before this experimental treatment. The aim of performing this single-cell sequencing study was to characterize the papilloma cells and other cells in the papilloma microenvironment with single-cell analyses using the 10X Genomics platform. The single-cell gene expression raw data files for each sample will be available in this submission.

• Combination pembrolizumab and radiotherapy induces systemic anti-tumor immune responses in immunologically-cold non-small cell lung cancer

  The abscopal effects of radiation may sensitize immunologically “cold” tumors to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI). We investigated the immunostimulatory effects of radiotherapy leveraging multi-omic analyses of serial tissue and blood biospecimens (n=293) from a phase 2 clinical trial of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) followed by pembrolizumab in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC; NCT02492568). Patients with immunologically-cold tumors (low tumor mutation burden, null PD-L1 expression, WNT-pathway mutated) in the SBRT arm had significantly longer progression-free survival compared to ICI alone (P<0.05). Induction of interferon-gamma, interferon-alpha, and antigen processing and presentation gene sets was significantly enriched post SBRT in non-irradiated tumor sites (FDR adjusted P<0.01). Significant on-therapy expansions of new and pre-existing TCR clones in both the tumor and blood compartments were noted in the SBRT arm (P<0.05). These findings support the systemic anti-tumor effects of immuno-radiotherapy and may open a therapeutic window of opportunity to overcome resistance to ICI.
