• The Genetic Evolution of Acral Melanoma

  Acral melanoma is a rare melanoma subtype arising on the sole, palm, or nail apparatus. We performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) for a cohort of 35 acral melanoma patients. For each patient, we sequenced multiple tumor areas representing different tumor stages, including the in situ and invasive portions of the primary tumor and available regional or distant metastases. Normal areas were included for all except one patient. We identified distinct evolutional trajectory compared to melanomas arising on the sun-exposed skin. Whole-genome sequencing and targeted sequencing were additionally performed for a subset of the samples. Particularly, in acral melanomas, complex genomic aberrations, characterized by clustered copy number transitions and focal amplifications, and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) activating alterations occur very early during evolution, while MAP-kinase pathway mutations, such as BRAF V600E and NRAS hotspot mutations, can occur late and often result in striking intra-tumor heterogeneity.

• Stockholm-Tartu Atherosclerosis Reverse Network Engineering Task (STARNET)

  STARNET is a genetics of RNA expression study of multiple disease-relevant tissues obtained from living patients with cardiovascular disease. Tissue samples are obtained from blood, atherosclerotic-lesion-free internal mammary artery (MAM) and atherosclerotic aortic root (AOR), subcutaneous fat (SF), visceral abdominal fat (VAF), skeletal muscle (SKLM), and liver (LIV) during open thorax surgery of 600 coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. All patients gave written informed consent. The inclusion criterion was eligibility for coronary artery by-pass graft (CABG) surgery. Patients with other severe systemic diseases, such as active systemic inflammatory disease or cancer, were excluded. The primary clinical end points were the SYNTAX score based on the extent of coronary atherosclerosis assessed from preoperative angiograms. The STARNET patients are Caucasians (31% females); 32% had diabetes, 75% had hypertension, and 67% had hyperlipidemia; and 33% had an MI before age 60. By New York Heart Association criteria, 45% were class I, 42% class II, 9% class III, and 1% class IV. TYPES AND RNA SEQUENCING: 566 DNA genotype and 3577 RNA-seq profiles from seven tissues from 600 STARNET CABG patients passed quality control (on average 511 RNA-seq profiles/tissue). DNA was genotyped with the OmniExpress Exome array (Illumina, ~900k SNPs) and imputed to a total of 14,098,063 DNA variant calls (6,245,505 with minor allele frequency >5%). The STARNET subjects mainly overlap with Caucasian of Northern European (Finnish) descent. RNA sequencing was performed using the HighSeq2000 platform, poly-A (LIV, SKLM, VAF, SF and blood) and ribo-zero (AOR, MAM) protocols with 50-100 bp read lengths, single end to 15-30 million read depth.

• The Finland-United States Investigation of NIDDM Genetics (FUSION) Study - Islet Expression and Regulation by RNAseq and ATACseq

  This study evaluates gene expression and its regulation in human pancreatic islets, a tissue relevant in the study of genetic risk factors contributing to diabetes. We obtained pancreatic tissue sections and purified pancreatic islets from deceased donors and processed these biological samples to generate various data types. We generated spatial transcriptomic data from pancreatic tissue samples using the 10X Genomics VISIUM technology with sequencing on the Illumina NovaSeq platform. We also generated multiple data types from the purified pancreatic islets using genome-wide SNP chips, bulk RNA-Seq, microRNA (miRNA)-Seq, whole genome sequence, DNA methylation (methyl)-Seq, cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE)-Seq, single cell RNA-seq, and single nuclei ATAC-seq approaches. These data include ATAC-seq of two islet subjects, RNA-seq of 31 additional subjects, genome-wide chip genotypes, and imputed genotypes of the 33 subjects released with phs001188.v1. For genotyping, 500-1000 islet equivalents (IEQ) were cultured as in Gershengorn (Science, 2004, PMID: 15564314); genomic DNA isolated from islet cultures. For RNA analyses, 2500-5000 IEQ from each islet source were used for bulk or single-cell RNA isolation. Messenger RNA was isolated with trizol extraction and 12-plex libraries were generated using the Illumina TruSeq directional mRNA-seq library protocol. Bulk RNA sequencing was performed on HiSeq2000/HiSeq2500/Hiseq4000/NovaSeq6000 sequencers using paired-end reads at the NIH Intramural Sequencing Center (NISC). miRNA libraries were prepared from total RNA from 68 samples, pooled and sequenced 50bp single-end reads on Illumina HiSeq2500. CAGE libraries were prepared from total RNA samples using the nAnT-iCAGE protocol at DNAFORM, Japan. CAGE libraries were sequenced at the NIH Intramural Sequencing Center (NISC) on the HiSeq2000 sequencer. Genotyping on the Illumina Omni2.5M array was performed at the NHGRI Genomics Core facility. Genotypes were imputed using the HRC.r1.1.2016 reference panel. To assess regions of open chromatin in islets, we performed bulk ATAC-seq on HiSeq2000 sequencers using paired-end reads at NISC. Single-nuclei ATAC-seq libraries were prepared using single-cell-combinatorial-indexing (sci-) ATAC-seq protocol and sequenced on Illumina NextSeq using paired-end reads. scRNA-seq libraries were generated using the 10X Genomics platform and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq3000 at the Genomics Technology Core of the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). Greater than 90% of the loci associated with T2D through genome-wide association studies occur in non-coding regions, suggesting a strong regulatory component to disease susceptibility. Therefore, there is a critical need to understand the full spectrum of genetic variation and regulatory element usage in T2D-relevant tissues. To that end, this study contains multiple genomic and transcriptomic data sets from pancreas tissue sections and pancreatic islets, a resource that will contribute to our efforts to investigate the genetic risk factors for type 2 diabetes.

• NHLBI TOPMed: Genetic Epidemiology of COPD (COPDGene)

  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, and the only leading cause of death that is steadily increasing in frequency. This project established a racially diverse cohort that is sufficiently large and appropriately designed for genome-wide association analysis of COPD. A total of 10,720 subjects were recruited, including control smokers and nonsmokers, definite COPD cases (GOLD Stage 2 to 4), and subjects not included in either group (GOLD 1 and PRISm). This cohort is being used for cross-sectional analysis, and long-term longitudinal follow-up visits after five years and after ten years are also being performed. The primary focus of the study is to identify the genetic risk factors that determine susceptibility for COPD and COPD-related phenotypes. Detailed phenotyping of both cases and controls, including chest CT scan assessment of emphysema and airway disease, will allow identification of genetic determinants for the heterogeneous components of the COPD syndrome. The aims for this study are: Precise phenotypic characterization of COPD subjects using computed tomography, as well as clinical and physiological measures, that will provide data to enable the broad COPD syndrome to be decomposed into clinically significant subtype; Genome-wide association studies will identify genetic determinants for COPD susceptibility that will provide insight into clinically relevant COPD subtypes; Distinct genetic determinants influence the development of emphysema and airway disease. The TOPMed analysis will include approximately 10,500 subjects with whole genome sequencing after quality control is completed. Comprehensive phenotypic data for COPDGene subjects is available through dbGaP study phs000179.
