• Using NGS to Sequence Whole Genomes to Identify Genes Underlying ALS

  Our ALS Consortium - a partnership of clinicians, basic scientists, geneticists, and computational biologists from 48 institutions (4 of which are industry partners) across 5 countries - establishes a framework to apply whole genome sequencing (WGS) and functional genomics to the study of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Because ALS-causing mutations tend to be of moderate impact and are relatively rare in the population (reviewed in Al-Chalabi et al., 2017, PMID: 27982040), identification of new mutations require several thousand samples, which need to be obtained from multiple sites (even the busiest ALS clinics see only 200-400 patients per year). ALS Consortium is using genomics technologies to study the causes and mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disease, and the contribution of various cell types within the brain and spinal cord. Much of this work is done and continues to be done in collaboration with the members of the NYGC ALS Consortium.

• Xenodiagnosis of Lyme Disease

  Ixodes scapularis ticks are an important vector for at least six tick-borne human pathogens, including the predominant North American Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. The ability for these ticks to survive in nature is credited, in part, to their ability to feed on a variety of hosts without excessive activation of the proinflammatory branch of the vertebrate immune system. While the ability for nymphal ticks to feed on a variety of hosts has been well-documented, the host-parasite interactions between larval I. scapularis and different vertebrate hosts is relatively unexplored. In our clinical trial, patients with prior Lyme disease who had completed antibiotic therapy were exposed to 25-30 laboratory-reared larval ticks. Skin biopsies were taken before tick placement and/or after ticks were allowed to feed to repletion and we examined the effects on the transcriptional profile of human skin after the larval tick bites. We note pronounced evidence of inflammation in humans.

• California Teachers Study (CTS): Whole Genome Sequences From Under-Represented Populations

  The California Teachers Study (CTS) is a prospective observational cohort of N=133,477 adult women who have been followed since 1995. Participants completed up to six surveys and have been linked with cancer, hospitalization, and mortality data. In 2013-2016, over 14,000 CTS participants donated blood samples for future research. For this project, DNA was extracted in 2023 from 1694 buffy coats and 56 blood clots from N=1750 CTS participants whose self-reported race/ethnicity was Asian (398), Asian or Pacific Islander (18), Black or African American (189), Native American (128), Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (66), White Hispanic (719), or more than one race (232). Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed at CIDR in 2023-2024. WGS data and accompanying phenotype data are available through dbGaP. In addition, all CTS data are available to the research community via the CTS Researcher Platform (www.calteachersstudy.org), a secure cloud-based environment that includes data, software, documentation, and collaboration workspaces.

• Identification and targeting of extremely high-risk gamma delta T-ALL in children

  Acute lymphoblastic leukemia expressing the gamma delta T cell receptor (γδ T-ALL) is an uncommon, poorly understood disease. We studied 200 pediatric γδ T-ALL enrolled on clinical trials to understand the clinical and genetic features of this disease, which showed variation in outcome according to age and genetic driver. γδ T-ALL diagnosed in children under three years of age was extremely high-risk and enriched for genetic alterations leading to both LMO2 activation and STAG2 inactivation. Using patient samples and isogenic cell lines, we show that inactivation of STAG2 profoundly perturbs chromatin organization by altering enhancer-promoter looping and results in deregulation of gene expression related to T-cell differentiation. High throughput drug screening identified a vulnerability in DNA repair pathways arising from STAG2 inactivation, which was efficaciously targeted by PARP inhibition. These data provide a diagnostic and therapeutic framework for classification and risk stratification of pediatric γδ T-ALL.

• Multi-Omic Microbiome Study-Pregnancy Initiative (MOMS-PI)

  The Vaginal Microbiome Consortium team at Virginia Commonwealth University has conducted the Multi-Omic Microbiome Study: Pregnancy Initiative (MOMS-PI) in collaboration with the Global Alliance to Prevent Prematurity and Stillbirth (GAPPS) to better understand how microbiome and host profiles change throughout pregnancy and influence the establishment of the nascent microbiome in neonates. The team particularly focused on elucidation of the role of the microbiome and its components in the etiology of preterm birth, which occurs in over 10% of pregnancies and which is the leading cause of death in neonates. Samples from 1594 women and their neonates were collected throughout pregnancy, at delivery and postpartum. The group has generated a comprehensive dataset of multiple omics technologies. This longitudinal, large-scale effort was designed to provide a large-scale resource for the scientific community. The study also permits characterization of temporal dynamics of the microbiome in pregnancy and factors associated with preterm birth.

• Single-cell transcriptional mapping reveals genetic and hierarchy-based determinants of aberrant differentiation in AML

  Therapeutic targeting of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has in part been hampered by profound cell state heterogeneity among leukemia cells. To develop a more precise understanding of leukemia cell states in AML, we constructed a reference atlas of human hematopoiesis from 263,519 single cell transcriptomes spanning 55 cellular states. Using this atlas, we mapped over 1.2 million single-cell transcriptomes spanning 318 myeloid leukemia samples. This uncovered twelve recurrent patterns of aberrant differentiation in AML and additional leukemia cell states involving lymphoid and erythroid progenitors. Systematic mapping of genotype-to-phenotype associations revealed specific differentiation landscapes associated with >45 genetic drivers. Importantly, AML samples sharing common genetic driver alterations can have distinct cellular origins which inform the cellular identity of their disease-sustaining leukemia stem cell (LSC). Further, distinct LSC-driven hierarchies can co-exist within individual patients. Thus, precise mapping of malignant cell states provides insights into leukemogenesis, refines disease classification, and informs therapy development.

• Identifying genetic variants that alter TCR usage in the peripheral repertoire

  The relationship between genetic variation and CD8+ T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire usage in patients receiving Immune Checkpoint Blockade (ICB) therapy for cancer is unexplored. We have conducted a genome-wide and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-focused analysis of CD8+ T-cell TCR repertoire to identify genetic determinants of variable gene (V-gene) and CDR3 K-mer usage from samples taken prior to and after ICB (n=250). We identify 11 cis and 10 trans V-gene associations, primarily to the MHC, that meet genome-wide significance. TCR clones containing HLA associated V-genes were less stable across treatment, whilst at the single-cell level, genetically associated clones demonstrate subset enrichment and increased tumor reactivity expression profiles. Notably, patients with HLA-matched TCR clones demonstrate improved overall survival. Our work indicates a complex relationship between genotype and TCR repertoire in the context of ICB treatment, with novel implications for understanding factors relating to therapeutic response and patient outcomes.

• MutWP6__CRUK_Grand_Challenge_Mutographs_of_Cancer__Botseq

  The Mutographs project aims to advance our understanding of the causes of cancer through studies of mutational signatures. Led by Mike Stratton, together with Paul Brennan, Ludmil Alexandrov, Allan Balmain, David Phillips and Peter Campbell, this large-scale international research endeavour was awarded a Cancer Research UK Grand Challenge. Within Mutographs, work lead by the Sanger Institute will investigate whether detection of somatic mutations and mutational signatures in circulating white blood cells can be developed into a practical, generic system for surveying and monitoring multiple different endogenous and exogenous exposures, providing an ‘observatory’ on somatic mutational processes in humans. Whole genome sequences are generated at the Wellcome Sanger Institute (Illumina HiSeqX). Somatic mutational signatures are subsequently extracted by non-negative matrix factorisation methods. Through an enhanced understanding of cancer aetiology, Mutographs unprecedented effort is anticipated to outline modifiable risk factors, lead to new approaches to prevent cancer, and provide opportunities to empower early detection, refine high-risk groups and contribute to further therapeutic development.

• NHLBI TOPMed: Genomic Summary Results for the Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine Program

  The NHLBI Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program aims to identify the genetic basis of variation in biomedical phenotypes, with emphasis on those related to heart, lung, blood and sleep disorders, as part of a broader Precision Medicine Initiative. The TOPMed program has provided whole genome sequencing (WGS) to over 80 different studies that had previously recruited participants and collected extensive phenotype data. Many TOPMed investigators affiliated with these studies have organized their activities into phenotype-focused Working Groups and have developed genotype-phenotype association projects. These analyses have resulted in valuable cross-study Genomic Summary Results (GSR) that include whole genome association test results of both common and rare variants. Most of the analyses include data from multiple studies, some of which are based on sensitive populations, precluding public sharing of GSR. This dbGaP accession provides a mechanism for sharing sensitive GSR, using the controlled-access mechanisms of dbGaP to provide protections for sensitive populations.

• Unraveling the heterogeneity of multiple myeloma identifies therapy resistant subpopulation with vulnerability to the splicing pathway intervention

  Intra-tumor heterogeneity underlies the therapy resistance of multiple myeloma (MM). However, its details remain unknown. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing coupled with VDJ targeted sequencing on highly purified bone marrow lineage marker-negative CD38+ MM cells from patients at diagnosis and in remission. This approach successfully subdivided MM cells into distinct clusters, unraveling their heterogeneity and plasticity on the axis of cell surface CD138 expression. Notably, unique clusters were identified in the minor CD138-negative population that resisted therapies. CRISPR/Cas9 screening of upregulated genes in the resistant population identified their vulnerability to the splicing pathway inhibition, among which RNA-binding protein 39 (RBM39) appeared to be overexpressed in the resistant population and involved in aberrant splicing. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of RBM39 exerted a profound synthetic lethal effect on them. Our results unveil an uncharacterized subpopulation associated with therapy resistance and provide a novel therapeutic strategy targeting the splicing pathway in MM.
