• The Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project

  The Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project (EPGP) is a large-scale, international, multi-institutional, collaborative research project, sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, designed to understand the genes that cause common and rare epilepsies. The overall goal of EPGP is to collect detailed, high quality phenotypic (i.e., characteristics of individuals, from the molecular level to the whole person) information on persons with epilepsy and to compare the phenotypic information with genomic information. 27 clinical centers enrolled more than 4,100 participants of families with epilepsy. EPGP will provide a resource that may lead to many discoveries related to the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, including the eventual development of new therapies based on a better understanding of causes of the disorder. Documents and questionnaires that provide context to the variables and measurements available through the current study, are available for download from EPGP: Download EPGP Forms.

• Characterization of Macrophage-Tropic HIV Infection of Central Nervous System Cells and the Influence of Inflammation

  In this study, we utilize macrophage-tropic and T cell-tropic HIV-1 Env proteins to establish accurate infection profiles for multiple CNS cells under basal and interferon alpha (IFN-α) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory states. We found that macrophage-tropic viruses confer entry advantages in primary myeloid cells, including monocyte-derived macrophages, microglia, and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived microglia. Following 24-h IFN-α or LPS treatments, total RNA was harvested from 100,000 to 200,000 cells using an RNeasy RNA isolation kit (Qiagen, 74004). RNA was quantified using a NanoDrop spectrophotometer and TapeStation electrophoresis prior to library preparation. cDNA libraries were prepared using the KAPA RNA HyperPrep kit (Roche, 08098115702). Paired-end RNA sequencing was performed on a NovaSeq S4 platform at a read length of 100 bp, resulting in approximately 60 million reads per sample.

• Combinatorial Indexed 10x Genomics Single-Cell ATAC-seq on Human Cerebral Cortex

  Single-cell chromatin accessibility profiling (scATAC) using droplet fluidics (10x Genomics) is inherently limited in throughput due to the number of available indexed droplets. This study leverages single-cell combinatorial indexing workflows with modified adapter designs to enable indexed tagmentation and superloading of pre-indexed nuclei into the 10x Genomics scATAC workflow, enabling a substantial increase in the number of cell profiles that can be obtained per channel. This workflow, 10x single-cell combinatorial indexed ATAC-seq (txsciATAC), is demonstrated on human brain tissue (middle frontal gyrus), along with mouse brain tissue to enable doublet and crosstalk assessment. This study includes all human data and includes a single preparation taken through nuclei isolation and indexed tagmentation using 96 indexes then split to produce two datasets, one targeting 20k cells and one targeting 70k, each using a single channel of the 10x Chromium controller.

• Association Between Telomere Length and Falciparum Malaria Endemicity in Sub-Saharan Africans

  The goal of this study was to identify the genetic and environmental drivers of telomere length variation in an ethnically diverse African cohort. It comprises 1,818 participants from Cameroon, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Botswana. For each participant, leukocyte telomere length was measured using the Southern blotting of the terminal restriction fragment methodology. 1,758 of the individuals with phenotype data also had genetic data, and these individuals were subjected to a genome-wide association study which accounted for age, sex, and genetic relatedness. Individuals were genotyped on one of two genotyping arrays (Illumina Infinium Omni5 array or Illumina H3Africa consortium array). Genetic datasets were merged, and missing genotypes were imputed for a final genetic dataset of 11,001,107 genetic variants. Correlations between telomere length and a variety of environmental factors, including malaria endemicity, were also examined in this study.

• Genetic Analysis of Skin Cells

  Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a form of skin cancer originating from keratinocytes in the skin. They have high mutation burdens, primarily driven by UV-radiation-induced DNA damage. The order in which mutations undergo selection during the evolution of cSCC is not known. A subset of cSCCs grow out of benign neoplasms called actinic keratoses. To better understand the evolution of cSCC, we identified cases of cSCCs adjacent to actinic keratoses. From these cases, we separately microdissected the surrounding normal skin, the actinic keratosis, and the cSCC, and we performed targeted DNA-sequencing on the tissue from each area. We reconstructed tumor phylogenies and performed spatial transcriptomics on the 10X FFPE Visium platform on a subset of cases. Collectively, these studies revealed the mutational and gene expression changes that arise during the evolution of cSCC.

• The Contribution of De Novo Coding Mutations to Meningomyelocele

  Meningomyelocele (MM) is considered a genetically complex disease resulting from the failure of the neural tube to close; a neural tube defect (NTD). Patients display neuromotor disability and frequent hydrocephalus requiring ventricular shunting. A few genes have been proposed to contribute to disease susceptibility, but most risk remains unexplained. 851 MM trios were recruited and we found 187 likely gene disrupting or damaging missense de novo mutations (DNMs) that are estimated to contribute to disease risk. These DNMs collectively define networks including actin cytoskeleton and microtubule-based processes, axon guidance, and histone modification. Gene validation demonstrates partial or complete loss of function, impaired signaling and defective neural tube closure in Xenopus embryos. Our results suggest DNMs make key contributions to MM risk, and highlight critical pathways required for neural tube closure in human embryogenesis. Data for 245 WES trios and 1 quad are available through dbGaP.

• 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.

• Origin of second malignancies in children

  Pediatric cancers are rare diseases, and children without known germline predisposing conditions who develop a second malignancy during developmental ages are extremely rare. We present four such clinical cases and through whole-genome and error-correcting ultra-deep duplex sequencing of tumor and normal samples, we explored the origin of the second malignancy in four children, uncovering different routes of development. The exposure to cytotoxic therapies was linked to the emergence of a secondary AML. A common somatic mutation acquired early during embryonic development was the driver of two solid malignancies in another child. In two cases, the two tumors developed from completely independent clones diverging during embryogenesis. Importantly, we demonstrate that platinum-based therapies contributed at least in one order of magnitude more mutations per day of exposure than aging to normal tissues in these children.

• Whole-genome sequencing of BRCA-mutant breast cancer patient samples from tumour, germline tissue and plasma

  The use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to profile mutational signatures presents a non-invasive opportunity for understanding cancer mutational processes. In this study we developed MisMatchFinder, a liquid biopsy approach for mutational signature detection using low- coverage whole-genome sequencing of ctDNA. Through analysis of plasma samples across multiple different cancers, we demonstrated that MisMatchFinder accurately infers single-base and doublet-base substitutions as well as indels to enhance detection of ctDNA and clinically relevant mutational signatures. This study contains fastq files from whole-genome sequencing of temporally matched tumour (fresh frozen biopsies), blood germline and plasma samples collected from a BRCA1-mutant breast cancer patient to directly compare mutation signature analysis using gold-standard tumour-germline paired variant calling with our novel ctDNA-based method (MisMatchFinder).

• Genetic and Genomic Analysis of Primary Human Chondrocytes

  Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, degenerative joint disease characterized by the gradual breakdown of the cartilage in the joints. Despite osteoarthritis affecting over 500 million individuals, the lack of a comprehensive mechanistic understanding of the disease has greatly hindered the development of adequate treatment options. To address this, we generated RNA-seq, Hi-C, and ATAC-seq data in primary human chondrocytes treated with either PBS as resting or a fibronectin fragment (FN-f) to model the OA chondrocyte phenotype. We mapped expression quantitative trait loci and splicing quantitative trait loci, and performed colocalization with OA GWAS data to identify putative OA risk genes. Integration of ATAC-seq and Hi-C data provided insights into the regulatory mechanisms. This study revealed both expression-based and splicing-based OA risk genes, several of which had not been previously identified in chondrocyte studies.
