• Autozygosity pilot - Born in Bradford (2017-05-11)

  The offspring of first cousin marriages have ~6% of their genome autozygous, i.e. homozygous identical by descent, or even more if there was further consanguinity in their ancestry. In the UK there are large populations with very high first cousin marriage rates of 20-50%. Sequencing the exomes of a sample of these individuals has the potential both to support genetic health programmes in these populations, and to provide genetic research information about rare loss of function mutations. This pilot study based on existing cohort samples from the Born In Bradford study will identify homozygous individuals for almost all variants down to an allele frequency around 1%, plus individuals carrying hundreds of new homozygous rare loss-of-function variants, and will support development of community relations and ethics for a wider study currently being designed. The data deposited in the EGA consist of low coverage whole exome sequencing on these samples. This dataset contains all the data available for this study on 2017-05-11.

• TN

  In order to comprehensively investigate the genetic relationship between PTC tumors and benign nodules, we totally collected 127 fresh-frozen biopsies samples from 28 patients with concurrent thyroid benign nodule and PTC (n=20) or simple benign nodule (n=8). We carried out whole-exome sequencing on all the 127 biopsies samples and RNA-sequencing in total of 40 samples.

• Whole genome sequencing in 1038 index cases reveals novel causative genes in pulmonary arterial hypertension

  Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disorder with a poor prognosis. Deleterious variation within genes encoding components of the transforming growth factor-ß pathway underlie the majority of heritable forms of PAH. Identifying the missing genetic contribution is challenging, even with genes of large effect size, since it likely involves mutations in genes confined to small numbers of PAH cases. In this study, we performed whole genome sequencing, comparing 1038 PAH index cases to 6385 subjects with other rare diseases. Rare variant analysis identified mutations in novel causal genes, namely ATP13A3, AQP1 and SOX17, and provided independent validation of a critical role for GDF2 in PAH. We detected mutations predicted to be disruptive of function in most, but not all, previously reported PAH genes. Taken together these findings provide new insights into the molecular basis of PAH, and support a central role for endothelial dysregulation in disease pathogenesis.

• WES fastq files of IPDGC UK cohort

  As part of the International Parkinson's Disease Genomics Consortium, exomes of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and healthy controls were sequenced to study the genetic etiology of PD. This UK cohort consists of 70 PD patients. Researchers can apply for access to fastq files for this cohort.

• Genetics of gene expression in human macrophage response to Salmonella

  Understanding how cells sense and respond to their environment, and how these responses are modulated by genetic variation, are fundamental biological problems, particularly for understanding how pathogenic organisms invade and manipulate the cells of the human immune system. Macrophages recognize and respond to many important human pathogens including HIV-1, Mycobacteria tuberculosis and Salmonella. This study will focus on the cellular response of human macrophages to Salmonella infection and how this response is modulated by the genetic bacground of the individual as well as additional pro-inflammatory stimulus (interferon-gamma priming). We will acquire 100 human induced pluripotent stem cell lines from the HipSci project, differentiate the cells in vitro into macrophages and expose them to four environmental conditions: (i) no stimulation, (ii) interferon-gamma (18h), (iii) Salmonella typhimurium SL1344 (5h), (iv) interferon-gamma (18h) + Salmonella (5h).Subsequently, we will isolate RNA from the samples for sequencing.

• The British Autozygosity Populations BioResource

  This data set contains whole exome sequences of individuals with self-stated parental relatedness from the East London Genes & Health cohort. Rare frequency functional variants in these healthy individuals will be studied with respect to the genetic health of the participants and loss-of-function analysis of human genes.

• The molecular landscape of colorectal cancer reveals genetic mutations（5 cases）

  We collected tumor samples and adjacent nomal mucosae from 5 patients with colorectal cancer in surgical operation from 2014 to 2016 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (Chongqing, China) and the Research Institute of Surgery, Third Military Medical University (Chongqing, China). the qualified captured library of each sample was then loaded on Illumina HiSeq 2000 (Illumina, San Diego, CA) platforms and subjected to high-throughput sequencing.

  We collected tumor samples and adjacent nomal mucosae from 17 patients with colorectal cancer in surgical operation from 2014 to 2016 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (Chongqing, China) and the Research Institute of Surgery, Third Military Medical University (Chongqing, China). the qualified captured library of each sample was then loaded on Illumina HiSeq 2000 (Illumina, San Diego, CA) platforms and subjected to high-throughput sequencing.

• Genetic profiling of mucosal melanoma

  Primary mucosal melanomas (MMs) arise from melanocytes located in mucosal membranes lining the respiratory, gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts. MMs frequently present late and have a poor prognosis; the 5-year survival rate is only 14%. MM makes up only ~1.4% of all melanomas and it is this rarity that makes knowledge of the genetic changes that contribute to its pathogenesis limited to a small number of exome/genome studies and other targeted studies. Thus to investigate the somatic alterations and mutation spectra in MM genomes, we have extracted genomic DNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human MMs, and subjected them to whole exome sequencing. Given the propensity of MM to metastasize, we will also be sequencing metastatic MM lesions; primary and metastatic lesions from the same individual represent an excellent opportunity to identify potential drivers of metastasis in MM. Finally we will sequence 'normal' DNA from the same individual, where possible, to exclude germline variations.
