• Innate Immune Anti-Viral Deaminase Deregulation Fuels Pre-Leukemia Stem Cell Evolution

  This study evaluates the effect of Rebecsinib treatment on gene expression, isoform splicing, and ADAR1 mediated RNA editing in cells from an in vivo humanized mouse model which have been engrafted with human secondary AML cells. For analysis of cells from Rebesinib-treated animals, CD34+ cells were obtained from bone marrow and spleens of sAML-engrafted mice following once weekly treatment with 0 (Vehicle) or 5 or 10 mg/kg Rebecsinib. For analysis of cells from serial transplant recipients of cells harvested from Rebecsinib-treated mice, CD34+ cells were obtained from bone marrow and spleens of sAML-engrafted mice that were transplanted with cells from animals that received twice weekly treatment with 0 (Vehicle) or 10 mg/kg Rebecsinib. No further treatment was given to serial transplant recipients, thus allowing the analysis of molecular changes that are sustained following serial transplantation. Whole transcriptome sequencing was performed at The Scripps Research Institute Next Generation Sequencing Core on Illumina NextSeq 500 sequencers with 150bp paired-end reads.These data revealed a uniquely expressed ADAR1 splice isoform (with a retrained intronic region), global downregulation of normalized RNA editing events, and isoform switching from MCL1-L to MCL1-S in Rebecsinib-treated sAML-engrafted mice. These results demonstrate the anti-survival and anti-self-renewal effects of Rebecsinib treatment on the leukemia stem cell (LSC) population in sAML-engrafted mice as well as the reduction in the inflammation-induced, hyper-editing p150 isoform of ADAR1. Thus, Rebecsinib treatment has promise for reducing the LSC population in myeloproliferative disorders and associated cancers.

• Liquid Biopsy Versus Tissue Biopsy to Assess Acquired Resistance and Tumor Heterogeneity in Gastrointestinal Cancers

  Tumor heterogeneity can drive the evolution of multiple tumor subclones harboring unique molecular resistance alterations in different metastatic lesions in an individual patient, under the selective pressure of therapy1-3. Studies have suggested that liquid biopsy may better capture the heterogeneity of acquired resistance, but systematic, direct comparisons of post-progression liquid vs. standard single-lesion tumor biopsies are lacking. In a prospective cohort of 44 patients with molecularly-defined gastrointestinal cancers and acquired resistance to targeted therapy, direct comparison of post-progression liquid vs. tumor biopsy revealed that liquid biopsy more frequently identified clinically-relevant resistance alterations and multiple resistance mechanisms, detecting resistance alterations not detected in matched tumor biopsy in 78% of cases. Whole-exome sequencing of serial cell-free DNA, tumor biopsies and rapid autopsy specimens elucidated geographic and evolutionary characteristics of heterogeneity. Our data suggest that acquired resistance is frequently characterized by profound tumor heterogeneity and highlight the potential clinical utility of liquid biopsy. Burrell, R. A. & Swanton, C.

• Single-Cell and Spatial Multi-Omics Highlight Effects of Anti-Integrin Therapy Across Cellular Compartments in Ulcerative Colitis

  This is a focused, nested case-control study within our larger cohort "Immunoprofiling of the Blood and Intestine and Creation of a Gut Cell Atlas". This sub-study is titled as "Single-cell and spatial multi-omics highlight effects of anti-integrin therapy across cellular compartments in ulcerative colitis”. We examined the impact of Vedolizumab (VDZ), an anti-integrin antibody therapy, on the cellular landscape of ulcerative colitis (UC). While VDZ is primarily recognized for its role in preventing lymphocyte migration to the gut, the extent of its influence on other cellular populations has not been fully characterized. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (CITE-seq) to profile cells from both the blood and colon tissue samples. We pooled single-cell suspensions together before running scRNA-seq and CITE-seq, and subsequently deconvoluted the samples using the freemuxlet and demuxlet algorithms and variant call files (vcf) from bulk RNA-seq. This allowed us to assign cells to individual study subjects. We compared the cellular compositions of healthy individuals to those of UC patients undergoing treatment with VDZ or mesalamine (5-aminosalicylic acid/5-ASA). Our results revealed that VDZ induces significant changes in the variety and dynamics of mononuclear phagocytes within both the bloodstream and intestinal tissue, accompanied by subtle variations in lymphocyte populations. The dbGaP submission will provide raw sequencing data and participant phenotype data regarding disease and treatment status.

• ILyAD (Indolent Lymphoma And vitamin D)

  Indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas are incurable diseases, and require intermittent and often morbid and expensive therapy during their prolonged natural history. Lower intensity and better-tolerated, cost-effective treatment strategies are needed for these patients. Low vitamin D levels at diagnosis of indolent lymphomas are strongly associated with inferior outcomes to treatment. Standard therapy for low tumor burden, indolent lymphoma includes a single agent monoclonal antibody (rituximab). In our double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial we evaluated if vitamin D supplementation with 2000IU oral cholecalciferol daily for three years improved the progression-free survival of patients with indolent lymphoma treated with single agent rituximab. Stratification factors for randomization included histology and Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FL-IPI) prognostic score. The primary endpoint of the trial was progression-free survival over three years; secondary endpoints included response at 13 weeks, and overall survival. Eligible participants were adults with biopsy proven follicular lymphoma (grades 1-3a), small lymphocytic lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma and mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue with no prior anti-lymphoma systemic therapy. Participants had Ann Arbor stage II or greater, measurable disease defined by Lugano criteria. Participants with osteoporosis requiring prescription treatment, symptomatic primary hyperthyroidism, hypercalcemia, creatinine greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal or a history of calcium-related kidney stones were excluded. Germline DNA was isolated from saliva samples obtained from participants at baseline. Whole exome sequencing was performed and SNPs were analyzed using the Agilent SureSelectXT Human All Exon V6 +UTR array. SNP data from 185 participants are available through dbGaP.

• 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.

• Single Cell and Spatial Transcriptomic Profiling of Haemophilus ducreyi Infection

  We investigated the immune response in end-point pustules formed by Haemophilus ducreyi in volunteers using an experimental infection model. Six volunteers were infected in the skin of the upper arm at three sites with 41-85 CFU of H. ducreyi loaded on an allergy testing device; a sham-inoculated (e.g., wound) site was also performed. Five volunteers (4 men and 1 woman; 2 Asians and 3 Whites; aged 27-46 years) formed pustules 6-8 days post infection; 1 volunteer spontaneously resolved all sites. If a volunteer formed pustules, biopsies were performed to collect their pustule and wound sites. Biopsy pairs for all 5 pustule formers were subjected to single cell (sc) RNA-seq. Sequencing libraries were prepared using the 10X Genomics Single-cell 3' RNA-seq kit. Spatial transcriptomics was performed on biopsy pairs from 4 of the 5 pustule formers. Ten micron sections were placed on 10X Genomics Visium slides for fresh-frozen tissue, and libraries were prepared with the 10X Genomics Visium spatial 3' gene expression kit. All samples were sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000. Count tables were produced with CellRanger and SpaceRanger, respectively, and Seurat was used to analyze the data. We identified 13 major cell types by scRNA-seq; the proportion of some immune cell subsets was increased in pustules compared to wound sites. We also localized the major cell types within the tissue by using the scRNA-seq data to deconvolve the spatial transcriptomic data. The FASTQ files and count tables from CellRanger and SpaceRanger are provided.

• Oncogenome of Kaposi Sarcoma

  Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is an aggressive cancer caused by the Kaposi Sarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV/HHV-8). Individuals with immunodeficiencies, exemplified by HIV, have an elevated risk of developing KS. However, understanding of the genetic factors contributing to KS progression is still limited. To explore potential genetic alterations in KS that could offer biological or therapeutic insights, whole exome sequencing was performed on 78 KS tumors and matching normal skin samples from 59 adults with KS (46 with HIV-associated KS and 13 with HIV-negative KS) receiving treatment at the Uganda Cancer Institute in Kampala, Uganda. Results showed a very low mutational burden in all samples except one (median = 11 mutations), which is the smallest number of mutations found across all 33 cancer types in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). No recurrent mutations were identified. Mutational signatures included impaired DNA mismatch repair and smoking. There was no evidence suggesting that multiple tumors from the same patient originated from a single clone. The number of genome copy alterations per genome was higher in tumors from individuals without HIV and those with advanced-stage disease. This suggests that lesions that take longer to develop may accumulate more alterations, although the overall number of alterations remains low compared to other cancers. These findings suggest that KS pathogenesis differs from other cancers, with KSHV viral infection and the expression of viral oncogenes being the primary drivers of carcinogenesis, rather than clonal oncogenic transformation arising from genetic alterations of cancer-related cellular genes.

• Colon Cancer Family Registry (Colon CFR)

  The Colon Cancer Family Registry Cohort (CCFRC www.coloncfr.org) is a cohort of families recruited through six study sites located in the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The CCFRC was formed as a resource to support studies on the etiology, prevention, and clinical management of colorectal cancer. Recruitment protocols fall broadly into two main categories: population-based and clinic-based ascertainment. Between 1998 and 2013, the CCFR recruited and interviewed probands who were either recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer that was reported to state or regional population cancer registries in the United States (Washington, California, Arizona, Minnesota, Colorado, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Hawaii), Australia (Victoria), and Canada (Ontario) or were from multiple-case families referred to family-cancer clinics in the United States (Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio), Australia (Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, and Sydney), New Zealand (Auckland), and Canada. Cases with known familial adenomatous polyposis were excluded. Once recruited, probands were asked for permission to contact their relatives for recruitment. Collectively, we have enrolled 42,49874 participants in 15,048 families who participated in standardized protocols used to collect information regarding family cancer history and colorectal cancer risk factors and biospecimens. All participants of population-based case families (excluding control-families) and clinic-based families are asked to provide updates on their personal and family history of cancer as well as their history of surgery, cancer screening, and some risk factors every 4-5 years either by telephone interview or by self-completed questionnaire via mail or online (PMID: 17982118).

• Defined Lifestyle and Germline Factors Predispose Asian Populations to Gastric Cancer

  Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality throughout the world, with the highest incidence in east-Asia. Although the somatic genetics of GC has extensively been characterized by recent advances in cancer genome sequencing, the germline and environmental effects on GC and their ethnic differences have poorly been understood. Here, we performed genomic scale trans-ethnic analysis of 531 GC cases (319 Asian and 212 non-Asians), by integrating east-Asian and public GC datasets. There is one distinct GC subclass with clear alcohol-associated mutation signature and strong Asian specificity, and almost all the cases in the subclass are attributable to alcohol intake behavior, smoking habit, and Asian-specific ALDH2 defective allele. Alcohol-related GCs have low mutation burden and a characteristic immune profile of increased B-cell infiltration into the tumor area in relation to cancer cell-intrinsic CXCL13 chemokine expression. In addition to germline variants of genes involved in BRCA pathways, we found frequent (7.4%) germline CDH1 variants among Japanese GCs. Most of them were attributed to a few recurrent SNVs shared by both Japanese and Koreans, suggesting the existence of common ancestral events and widespread distributions of these pathogenic variants among east-Asian populations. Specifically, approximately one-fifth of diffuse-type GCs were attributable to the combination of alcohol intake and defective-ALDH2 allele or to germline CDH1 variants. These results revealed uncharacterized impacts of germline variants and their interplays with lifestyles in the high incidence areas.

• DNA methylation and the adverse metabolic outcomes of adiposity

  Overweight and obesity affect ~1.5 billion people worldwide, and are major risk factors for type-2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease and related metabolic and inflammatory disturbances.1,2 Although the mechanisms linking adiposity to its clinical sequelae are poorly understood, recent studies suggest that adiposity may influence DNA methylation,3-6 a key regulator of gene expression and molecular phenotype.7 Here we use epigenome-wide association to show that body mass index (BMI, a key measure of adiposity) is associated with widespread changes in DNA methylation (187 genetic loci at P<1x10-7, range P=9.2x10-8 to 6.0x10-46; N=10,261 samples). Genetic association analyses demonstrate that the alterations in DNA methylation are predominantly the consequence of adiposity, rather than the cause. We find the methylation loci are enriched for functional genomic features in multiple tissues (P<0.05), and show that sentinel methylation markers identify gene expression signatures at 38 loci (P<9.0x10-6, range P=5.5x10-6 to 6.1x10-35, N=1,785 samples). The methylation loci identified highlight genes involved in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, substrate transport, and inflammatory pathways. Finally, we show that the disturbances in DNA methylation predict future type-2 diabetes (relative risk per 1SD increase in Methylation Risk Score: 2.3 [2.07-2.56]; P=1.1x10-54). Our results provide new insights into the biologic pathways influenced by adiposity, and may enable development of new strategies for prediction and prevention of type-2 diabetes and other adverse clinical consequences of obesity.

• PCR-free shallow whole genome sequencing for chromosomal copy number detection from plasma of cancer patients is an efficient alternative to the conventional PCR-based approach

  Somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) can be detected in tumor cell-free DNA (cfDNA) by shallow whole genome sequencing (sWGS). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is typically included in library preparations, but a PCR-free method could be an effective alternative for research and diagnostics. Peripheral blood samples (n=22) were collected in EDTA-containing tubes from non-small cell lung cancer patients (n=10) and healthy donors (n=12). PCR and PCR-free library preparations underwent sWGS and the following metrics were compared: mapping quality, proportion of duplicate reads, genome coverage, sequencing read length and copy number profiles. The PCR-free method was further evaluated on archived plasma samples (n=33) of varying pre-analytical quality collected in EDTA or lithium heparin tubes. Archived samples were from acute myeloid leukaemia (n=15) and B-cell lymphoma (n=18) patients. The percentage of unique reads was significantly higher for the 22 samples analysed by PCR-free (95.7%) compared to PCR (84%). PCR-free libraries from 33 archived samples produced data of a comparable quality, with 95.4% unique reads. All other evaluated metrics were highly comparable for PCR and PCR-free library preparations. We conclude that SCNA detection can be performed by PCR-free sWGS on cfDNA from cancer patients and is feasible for diagnostic and archival plasma collected in EDTA- or lithium heparin-containing tubes. Our results pave the way for an automated cfDNA workflow for cancer plasma samples.

• pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma exomes in study: Pro-immunogenic Impact of MEK inhibition combined with an anti-CD40 immunostimulatory antibody

  Cancer types with lower mutational load and a non-permissive tumor microenvironment are intrinsically resistant to immune checkpoint blockade. While the combination of cytostatic drugs and immunostimulatory antibodies constitutes an attractive concept for overcoming this refractoriness, suppression of immune cell function by cytostatic drugs may limit therapeutic efficacy. Here we show that targeted inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase (MEK) does not impair dendritic cell-mediated T-cell priming and activation. Accordingly, combining MEK inhibitors (MEKi) with agonist antibodies (Abs) targeting the immunostimulatory CD40 receptor resulted in potent synergistic anti-tumor efficacy. Detailed analysis of the mechanism of action of MEKi GDC-0623 by means of flow cytometric analysis of the tumor immune infiltrate and whole tumor transcriptomics showed that, in addition to its cytostatic impact on tumor cells, this drug exerts multiple pro-immunogenic effects, including the suppression of M2-type macrophages, myeloid derived suppressor cells and CD4+ T-regulatory cells. In addition, MEKi was found to induce tumor-cell intrinsic interferon signaling, which contributed to antigen presentation by tumor cells. Finally, the tumoridical impact of MEKi involves the activation of multiple pro-inflammatory pathways involved in immune cell effector function in the tumor microenvironment. Our data therefore indicate that the combination of MEK inhibition with agonist anti-CD40 Ab is a promising therapeutic concept, especially for the treatment of mutant Kras-driven tumors such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma exomes were generated in the context of the Heidelberg Center for Personalized Oncology project HIPO-K28E.

• Uncovering the potential of circulating tumor DNA for pediatric precision oncology

  Pediatric solid high-risk malignancies mostly lack molecular biomarkers for early tumor detection, assessment of minimal residual disease or therapy monitoring. Small patient numbers, limited sample volumes, low tumor mutational burden, and few recurrent alterations in pediatric tumors pose further challenges to liquid biopsy analyses for this patient population. Within the prospective, multinational molecular profiling program INFORM, we collected liquid biopsies from 130 children patients followed by optimized isolation of cell-free DNA (cfDNA). CfDNA was subjected to whole-genome, whole-exome, and targeted panel sequencing applying liquid biopsy-adapted protocols. Integration with tissue-derived molecular information and orthogonal comparison revealed low-coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS) as a reliable method for tumor detection. In silico integration of fragment length with differentially weighted genome segment alterations into a ctDNA estimation score (CES) significantly increased sensitivity and specificity to 95% and allowed for plasma-based tumor detection in 93% of patients. Performance of whole exome sequencing (WES) and panel sequencing for detection of molecular targets being predictive for matched treatment responses varied between groups of high-risk entities and cumulative evidence for presence of cancer by all three methods was found in 92% of patients. In-depth analyses for selected patients also demonstrated great the potential of liquid biopsies to decipher temporal and spatial tumor evolution. This study establishes improved methods for liquid biopsy analyses in pediatric oncology and provides the rationale for well-informed implementation of these approaches in future clinical trials to improve the clinical management of high-risk pediatric cancer patients.

• These are from Korean HCC samples with exome sequencing

  Hepatic resection is the most curative treatment option for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma, but is associated with a high recurrence rate, which exceeds 50% at 5 years after surgery. Understanding the genetic basis of hepatocellular carcinoma at surgically curable stages may enable the identification of new molecular biomarkers that accurately identify patients in need of additional early therapeutic interventions. Whole exome sequencing and copy number analysis was performed on 231 hepatocellular carcinomas (72% with hepatitis B viral infection) that were classified as early-stage hepatocellular carcinomas, candidates for surgical resection. Recurrent mutations were validated by Sanger sequencing. Unsupervised genomic analyses identified an association between specific genetic aberrations and postoperative clinical outcomes. Recurrent somatic mutations were identified in 9 genes, including TP53, CTNNB1, AXIN1, RPS6KA3, and RB1. Recurrent homozygous deletions in FAM123A, RB1, and CDKN2A, and high-copy amplifications in MYC, RSPO2, CCND1, and FGF19 were detected. Pathway analyses of these genes revealed aberrations in the p53, Wnt, PIK3/Ras, cell cycle, and chromatin remodelling pathways. RB1 mutations were significantly associated with cancer-specific and recurrence-free survival after resection (p = 0.016 and p = 0.001, respectively). FGF19 amplifications, known to activate Wnt signalling, were mutually exclusive with CTNNB1 and AXIN1 mutations, and significantly associated with cirrhosis (p = 0.017). RB1 mutations can be used as a prognostic molecular biomarker for resectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Further study is required to investigate the potential role of FGF19 amplification in driving hepatocarcinogenesis in patients with liver cirrhosis and to investigate the potential of anti-FGF19 treatment in these patients.

• Detection of Clinically Relevant Genetic Variantsin Autism Spectrum Disorderby Whole-Genome Sequencing

  Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) demonstrates high heritability and familial clustering, yet the genetic causes remain only partially understood as a result of extensive clinical and genomic heterogeneity. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) shows promise as a tool for identifying ASD risk genes as well as unreported mutations in known loci, but an assessment of its full utility in an ASD group has not been performed. We used WGS to examine 32 families with ASD to detect de novo or rare inherited genetic variants predicted to be deleterious (loss-of-function and damaging missense mutations). Among ASD probands, we identified deleterious de novo muta- tions in six of 32 (19%) families and X-linked or autosomal inherited alterations in ten of 32 (31%) families (some had combinations of mutations). The proportion of families identified with such putative mutations was larger than has been previously reported; this yield was in part due to the comprehensive and uniform coverage afforded by WGS. Deleterious variants were found in four unrecognized, nine known, and eight candidate ASD risk genes. Examples include CAPRIN1 and AFF2 (both linked to FMR1, which is involved in fragile X syndrome), VIP (involved in social-cognitive deficits), and other genes such as SCN2A and KCNQ2 (linked to epilepsy), NRXN1, and CHD7, which causes ASD-associated CHARGE syndrome. Taken together, these results suggest that WGS and thorough bioinformatic analyses for de novo and rare inherited mutations will improve the detection of genetic variants likely to be associated with ASD or its accompanying clinical symptoms.

• Transcriptome Sequencing PPGL

  RNA library preparation of samples with RNA Integrity Number (RIN) > 5.5 (median 7.1; range 5.6-8.9) was performed as described in the TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Prep Kit (Illumina, RS-122-2101). Briefly, 0.7-1 µg total RNA PolyA+ fraction was purified and randomly fragmented, converted to double stranded cDNA and processed through subsequent enzymatic treatments of end-repair, dA-tailing, and ligation to adapters. Adapter-ligated library was completed by PCR with Illumina PE primers. The resulting purified cDNA library was applied to an Illumina flow cell for cluster generation and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq2500 on a 51bp single-read format following manufacturer's protocols. cDNA libraries from FFPE tumors and low integrity RNA’s (RIN<5.5) from FF tumors (median 2.4; range 1-5.5) but % of fragments > 200 nucleotides higher than 20% (median 57.5; range 20-96) were prepared using QuantSeq 3’ mRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit FWD for Illumina (Lexogen, 015) with a UMI Second Strand Synthesis Module for QuantSeq FWD (Lexogen, 081), vendor’s protocol for low input/ low quality/ FFPE RNA using 200-500 ng of total RNA, according to availability, was used as starting material. PCR Add-on Kit for Illumina (Lexogen, 020) was used to adjust the library amplification number of cycles. Libraries were applied to an Illumina flow cell for cluster generation and sequenced on NovaSeq6000. Image analysis, per-cycle basecalling and quality score assignment was performed with Illumina Real Time Analysis software. Demultiplexing of BCL files to FASTQ format was performed with the bcl2fastq Software (Illumina).

• scRNAseq for patients with immunodeficiency and HCs

  The NFAT family of transcription factors plays central roles in adaptive immunity in murine models, however, their contribution to human immune homeostasis remains poorly defined. In a multigenerational pedigree, we identified three patients carrying germline biallelic missense variants in NFATC1, presenting with recurrent infections, hypogammaglobulinemia and decreased antibody responses. The compound heterozygous NFATC1 variants identified in the patients caused decreased stability and reduced binding of DNA and interacting proteins. We observed defects in early activation and proliferation of T and B cells from these patients, amenable to reconstitution upon genetic rescue. Following stimulation, T-cell activation and proliferation were impaired, reaching that of healthy controls with delay indicative of an adaptive capacity of the cells. Assessment of the metabolic capacity of patient T cells, revealed that NFATc1-dysfunction rendered T cells unable to engage in glycolysis following stimulation, although oxidative metabolic processes were intact. We hypothesized that NFATc1-mutant T cells could compensate for the energy deficit due to defective glycolysis by enhanced lipid metabolism as an adaptation, leading to a delayed, but not lost activation responses. Indeed, we observed increased 13C-labelled palmitate incorporation into citrate indicating higher fatty acid oxidation and we demonstrated that metformin and rosiglitazone improved patient T-cell effector functions. Collectively, enabled by our molecular dissection of NFATC1 mutations and extending the role of NFATc1 in human immunity beyond receptor signaling, and reveal evidence of metabolic plasticity in the context of impaired glycolysis observed in patient T cells to remedy delayed effector responses.

• Cohesin Mutations in AML

  Cohesin shapes the nuclear chromatin architecture, including enhancer-promoter interactions, and its components, of which especially STAG2 and RAD21, are frequently mutated in myeloid malignancies. To elucidate mechanisms of leukemogenesis associated with cohesin mutations in humans, we comprehensively characterized genetic, epigenetic, transcriptional, and chromatin conformational changes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To corroborate our findings, we performed complementary siRNA-mediated depletion of STAG2, its paralogue STAG1 or RAD21 in cord blood-derived CD34+ primary human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). We show that STAG2 mutations consistently lead to the loss of STAG2 protein and are associated with a specific set of co-occurring mutations, while STAG1 was never mutated in AML. Loss of STAG2 was frequently compensated by STAG1. Still, specific loci displayed altered cohesin occupancy, gene expression and corresponding changes in local chromatin activation as measured by H3K27ac enrichment and chromatin accessibility. High-throughput chromosome conformation capture (in-situ Hi-C) revealed significantly altered chromatin looping in cohesin-mutated AMLs, including weakened enhancer-promoter contacts with reduced, cohesin-dependent promoter activity. In HSPCs, we detected transcriptomic and epigenetic effects overlapping STAG2-mutant AML-specific changes following STAG2 knockdown (KD), that were not invoked by the depletion of STAG1. We also found that STAG2 loss in cultured HSPCs impaired the differentiation capacity, especially erythroid colony formation which maintained HSPC-like gene expression. This work establishes STAG2 as a key regulator of cohesin-associated chromatin architecture, gene expression and differentiation in the human hematopoietic system and identifies candidate target genes that may be implicated in leukemogenesis.

• Evaluation of EBUS-TBNA Aspirates from Advanced NSCLC for Comprehensive Sequencing Platforms Including Whole Genome Sequencing

  Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is often the only source of tumor tissue from patients with advanced, inoperable lung cancer. EBUS-TBNA aspirates are used for the diagnosis, staging, and genomic testing to inform therapy options. Here we extracted DNA and RNA from 220 EBUS-TBNA aspirates to evaluate their suitability for whole genome (WGS), whole exome (WES), and comprehensive panel sequencing. For a subset of 40 cases, the same nucleic acid extraction was sequenced using WGS, WES, and the TruSight Oncology 500 assay. Genomic features were compared between sequencing platforms and compared with those reported by clinical testing. A total of 204 aspirates (92.7%) had sufficient DNA (100 ng) for comprehensive panel sequencing, and 109 aspirates (49.5%) had sufficient material for WGS. Comprehensive sequencing platforms detected all seven clinically reported tier 1 actionable mutations, an additional three (7%) tier 1 mutations, six (15%) tier 2–3 mutations, and biomarkers of potential immunotherapy benefit (tumor mutation burden and microsatellite instability). As expected, WGS was more suited for the detection and discovery of emerging novel biomarkers of treatment response. WGS could be performed in half of all EBUS-TBNA aspirates, which points to the enormous potential of EBUS-TBNA as source material for large, well-curated discovery-based studies for novel and more effective predictors of treatment response. Comprehensive panel sequencing is possible in the vast majority of fresh EBUS-TBNA aspirates and enhances the detection of actionable mutations over current clinical testing.

• Clonal fitness inferred from timeseries modeling of single cell cancer genomes

  Progress in defining genomic fitness landscapes in cancer by copy number alterations (CNA) has been impeded by lack of single cell and timeseries sampling. We generated 42,000 single cell whole genomes (scWGS) from breast epithelium and primary triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patient-derived xenografts (PDX) collected during multi-year time series. Using a Wright-Fisher population genetics model, we inferred reproducible CNA-defined clonal fitness dynamics induced by TP53 mutation and cisplatin chemotherapy, with accurate forecasting of experimentally enforced clonal competition dynamics. Drug treatment in three long-term serially passaged TNBC PDX resulted in cisplatin resistant clones that had shown low fitness in the untreated setting. By contrast high fitness clones from treatment naive controls were eradicated reflecting an inversion of the fitness landscape. Upon drug release selective pressure dynamics were reversed indicating a fitness cost of treatment resistance. Taken together, our findings reveal clonal fitness dynamics linked to CNA and therapeutic resistance in polyclonal tumours.

• Combination of ribociclib and gemcitabine for the treatment of medulloblastoma

  Group 3 (G3) medulloblastoma (MB) is one of the deadliest forms of the disease for which novel treatment is desperately needed. Here we evaluate ribociclib, a highly selective CDK4/6 inhibitor, with gemcitabine in mouse and human G3 MBs. Ribociclib CNS penetration was assessed by in vivo microdialysis and by immunohistochemistry and gene expression studies. Survival studies to determine the efficacy of ribociclib and gemcitabine combination were performed on mice orthotopically implanted with luciferase labelled mouse and human G3 MB. Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic outcomes and univariable survival models were analyzed to estimate survival. Gene activity inference using NetBID and tumor differentiation analysis investigated the effects of the combination after short and long-term treatments. Tumors from mice treated with oral ribociclib displayed inhibited RB phosphorylation, downregulated E2F target genes, and decreased proliferation. Treatment of mice with the combination of ribociclib and gemcitabine was well tolerated, slowed tumor progression and metastatic spread, and increased survival. Molecular analysis of treated versus untreated tumors showed a significant decrease in the activity and expression of genes involved in cell cycle progression and DNA damage response, and an increase in activity and expression of genes implicated in neuronal identity and neuronal differentiation. Ribociclib is CNS-penetrant. When administered/combined with gemcitabine in orthotopic G3 MB models resulted in improved survival. Our findings, with both mouse and human patient-derived-orthotopic xenograft models, suggest that this combination therapy has promise for children with G3 MB and may represent an effective treatment strategy for other CNS malignancies.

• Implementation of pediatric precision oncology into clinical practice: The individualized Therapies for Children with cancer program “iTHER”

  iTHER is a prospective national precision oncology program aiming to define tumor molecular profiles in children and adolescents with primary very high-risk, relapsed, or refractory pediatric tumors in order to identify relevant aberrations to inform treatment. From April 2017 to April 2021, 302 samples of 253 patients were included. Comprehensive molecular profiling utilizing lcWGS, WES, RNAseq, Affymetrix, and/or 850k methylation profiling was performed for 226 samples. Germline pathogenic variants were identified in 16% of patients. At least one somatic alteration was detected in 204 (90.3%), and 185 (81.9%) were considered druggable, with priority levels very high (6.1%), high (21.3%), moderate (26.0%), intermediate (36.1%), and borderline (10.5%). Diagnosis was revised or refined in 8 patients (3.5%). Spatial and temporal heterogeneity was observed in paired samples of 15 patients, indicating the value of sequential analysis. Of 137 patients with follow-up beyond 12 months, 21 molecularly matched treatments were applied in 19 patients (13.9%) with modest response. Most relevant barriers to not applying targeted therapies included poor performance status, as well as limited access to drugs within clinical trial. iTHER demonstrates feasibility of comprehensive molecular profiling across all ages, tumor types and stages in pediatric cancers, informing of diagnostic, prognostic, and targetable alterations as well as reportable germline variants within a clinically relevant timeframe. Therefore, WES and RNAseq is implemented into standard clinical care at the Princess Máxima Center for all children. Improved access to targeted treatments within biology-driven combination trials is required to eventually improve survival.

• Center for Common Disease Genomics [CCDG] - Cardiovascular: Pharmacokinetic Polymorphisms in Japanese General Population

  This study is a part of NHGRI's Center for Common Disease Genomics, which is a collaborative large-scale genome sequencing effort to comprehensively identify rare risk and protective variants contributing to multiple common disease phenotypes. Current estimates anticipate that the CCDG program will sequence approximately 140K whole genomes and 225K whole exomes during the life of the project. The Cardiovascular Disease working group of the CCDG considered five diseases: early-onset coronary artery disease (EOCAD), stroke, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure and type 2 diabetes. Atrial fibrillation will affect between 6-12 million individuals in the US by 2050. AF also is associated with increased risks of stroke, dementia, heart failure, death, and high health care costs. Many risk factors for AF have been identified, including advancing age, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and CVD risk factors. However, there is little knowledge how to prevent AF. Furthermore, therapies for AF are only partially effective, and are themselves associated with substantial morbidity. Previously, heritable forms of AF have been considered rare; yet in the last decade, it has been established that AF, and in particular early-onset forms of AF, are heritable. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide a powerful tool to identify common variants underlying disease risk. The AFGen Consortium currently consists of investigators from more than 25 studies with >20,000 individuals with AF and >100,000 without AF. In the latest analyses, 14 loci have been identified for AF1 . Broadly, the loci implicate genes related to cardiopulmonary development, cardiac-expressed ion channels, and cell signaling molecules.Source: https://ccdg.rutgers.edu/sites/default/files/CCDG_CVD_EOAF_FINAL_w_link.pdfAnalysis of 165 pharmacokinetic-related gene polymorphisms (the number of polymorphisms may increase) using DNA derived from the blood of approximately 1,000 Japanese general populations.

• Successful Clinical Response in Pneumonia Therapy (SCRIPT)

  The goal of this study is to iteratively identify, validate and refine biomarkers to predict clinical failure, and identify novel targets for therapy, beyond traditional antibiotics, for patients with severe pneumonia requiring intubation, including severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), hospital-acquired pneumonia, and ventilator-associated pneumonia (HAP/VAP). We hypothesize that factors within the alveolar microenvironment in many patients with pneumonia prevent the active process of pneumonia resolution.The major emphasis will be on HAP. Mechanically ventilated CAP patients are a very high-risk group for subsequent VAP, and therefore CAP samples will be included to determine baseline bacteria, microbiome, and host defense patterns for those that do or do not develop HAP/VAP. Hospital-acquired pneumonia is the leading cause of death from nosocomial infections. Even in patients receiving pathogen-appropriate therapy, reported clinical failure rates are increasing, approaching 50% in recent clinical trials. Current approaches to improve outcomes in patients with pneumonia almost exclusively focus on the development of antibiotics to address the problem of resistance. However, the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is insufficient to explain the high rates of clinical failure. Instead, we hypothesize that factors within the alveolar microenvironment in many patients with pneumonia prevent the active process of pneumonia resolution. These factors include pathogen-specific adaptations to the injured lung that modulate the innate and adaptive immune response, as well as changes to the alveolar microbiome, driven by selective pressure within our modern intensive care units. Understanding this complex adaptive system requires the integration of clinical information with unbiased measures of the host, pathogen, and microbiome changes within the alveolar microenvironment. These measures must be repeated over time to identify factors that distinguish successful from failed therapy for pneumonia sufficiently early during the clinical course to allow for effective interventions. To address this challenge, we have assembled a talented group of investigators in the Successful Clinical Response In Pneumonia Therapy (SCRIPT) Systems Biology Center. We will leverage our routine clinical practice of safe alveolar sampling in mechanically ventilated patients with pneumonia with repeated non-bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage (NBBAL) sampling over the course of pneumonia. From this fluid, we will combine flow cytometry with multi-omic technologies (cell population-specific transcriptomics, epigenomics, shotgun microbiome sequencing, and pathogen-specific sequencing). Our systems scientists will integrate these genomic data with robust clinical -omics with the goal of identifying biomarkers that can be prospectively tested in patients and causally evaluated in humanized mouse models.The addition of a pooled sample artificially increases the number of automatically computed subjects by one.

• North American Mitochondrial Disease Consortium Patient Registry and Biorepository

  Mitochondrial diseases are caused by dysfunction of the mitochondria, which are specialized compartments that are present in every cell of the body except red blood cells. Mitochondria generate more than 90% of the energy that the body needs to sustain life and support growth. When they fail, less and less energy is generated within the cell. This injures the cell and can cause its death. If this process is repeated throughout the body, whole organ systems begin to fail, and the life of the person in whom this is happening is severely compromised. Mitochondrial diseases primarily affect children, but adult onset is becoming more and more common. Mitochondrial diseases are probably the most diverse human disorders at every level: clinical, biochemical, and genetic. Some affect only the nervous system but most affect many body systems, including the brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscles, kidney, and the endocrine and respiratory systems. Although mitochondrial disorders vary in severity, they are usually progressive, and often crippling. They can cause paralysis, seizures, mental retardation, dementia, hearing loss, blindness, weakness and premature death. Because of the range of symptoms and the frequent involvement of multiple body systems, mitochondrial diseases can be a great challenge to diagnose. Even when accurately diagnosed, they pose an even more formidable challenge to treat, as there are very few therapies and most are only partially effective. About this Study The first objective of this study is to establish a clinical registry of patients with suspected or confirmed mitochondrial diseases. We are collecting medical and family history, diagnostic test results, and prospective medical information for these patients and, using agreed procedures developed by the leading research clinicians in the field, providing, for the first time, standardized diagnoses of these complex disorders for the patients. The clinical information we collect from the participants will be used to learn about the spectrum of mitochondrial disorders and their prevalence. We will also develop studies which allow us to better understand how these diseases progress, which we do not understand well enough. When we begin clinical trials for mitochondrial diseases, patients enrolled in the registry who are identified as potentially eligible will be offered enrollment. Patients will only be included in studies if they give their consent in advance. The second objective of this study is to establish a biorepository for specimens and DNA from patients with mitochondrial diseases, in order to make materials easily available to consortium researchers.

• Discovery, Biology, and Risk of Inherited Variants in Breast Cancer (DRIVE) - OncoArray Genotypes

  Discovery, Biology, and Risk of Inherited Variants in Breast Cancer (DRIVE) was one of five projects funded in 2010 as part of the NCI's Genetic Associations and Mechanisms in Oncology (GAME-ON) initiative (http://epi.grants.cancer.gov/gameon/). GAME-ON's overall goal was to foster an intra-disciplinary and collaborative approach to the translation of promising research leads deriving from the initial wave of cancer GWAS. Specific goals included replication of previous GWAS findings and identification of new susceptibility loci through meta analyses of existing GWAS data and fine mapping of identified loci to better pinpoint causal variants; and identify germline variants that are associated with risk of multiple cancers. The other four funded GAME-ON projects were: the ColoRectal TransdisciplinaryStudy (CORECT), Elucidating Loci Involved in Prostate Cancer Susceptibility (ELLIPSE), Follow-up of Ovarian Cancer Genetic Association and Interaction Study (FOCI), and Transdisciplinary Research in Cancer of the Lung (TRICL). To identify additional cancer risk loci, improve the precision of fine-mapping, and facilitate cross-cancer analyses, the GAME-ON projects and other consortia formed the OncoArray network (http://epi.grants.cancer.gov/oncoarray/), which developed and genotyped a new custom genotyping array (the "OncoArray") in large numbers of cancer cases and controls (over 400,000 samples). The OncoArray is a custom array manufactured by Illumina. The array includes a backbone of approximately 260,000 SNPs that provide genome-wide coverage of most common variants, together with markers of interest for each of the five GAME-ON cancers identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), fine-mapping of known susceptibility regions, sequencing studies, and other approaches. The array also includes loci of interest identified through studies of other cancer types, and other loci of interest to multiple cancer types (including loci associated with cancer related phenotypes, drug metabolism and radiation response). Additionally, SNPs relating to quantitative phenotypes such as body mass index (BMI), height, and breast density that correlate with common cancer risks are also included. The DRIVE data included under this dbGAP submission include OncoArray data from 60,015 breast cancer cases and controls genotyped at the Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR), University of Cambridge, National Cancer Institute, University of Copenhagen, University of Southern California and Mayo Clinic. Details on an additional approx. 80,000 breast cancer cases and controls genotyped at other centers can be found at http://bcac.ccge.medschl.cam.ac.uk/bcacdata/oncoarray/.

• NEI CIDR Methylation Profiling of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma in NEIGHBOR Samples

  This is a case-control study of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG). POAG is a progressive optic neuropathy that eventually leads to blindness. More than 30 million people worldwide have Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG), of which greater than 3 million are blind. Gene expression changes in the retina have been observed for POAG. Several recent studies, including the NEIGHBOR consortium (NEI Glaucoma Human genetic collaboration) have used GWAS to identify correlative regions of the genome. Despite this, the genetic basis of Glaucoma is not well understood. Epigenetic variation may account for low heritability and environmental effects on human disease. Despite the significant advances being made in understanding the role of epigenetics in gene regulation in other fields, little is known about the relationship between DNA methylation patterns, retinal gene expression, and retinal disease. The goal of this study is to identify differentially methylated regions in the peripheral blood of patients with POAG. The case identification is as per the NEIGHBOR description: Cases and controls were recruited from ophthalmology clinics and were examined by ophthalmologists. For cases the clinical exam included intraocular pressure measurements, optic nerve assessment and visual field evaluation. Controls had no family history of glaucoma, normal intraocular pressure and normal optic nerves. POAG and control samples come from two sources: Duke University and Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI). These samples were collected and genotyped as part of the NEIGHBOR study. From the 219 POAG cases contributed to NEIGHBOR by Duke, 75 samples were selected for exome sequencing by Dr. Terry Gaasterland (UCSD) as part of an ARRA grant. These samples were selected to mirror the distribution of the entire set of Duke patients for variables such as age, cup-to-disc ratio, CCT, and IOP. From these 75 patients, 43 were selected for our study and an additional seven patients chosen at random, for a total 50 patients from Duke. From the 219 Duke controls, 50 were selected to match the age (at the time of blood draw) and sex of the 50 Duke POAG patients. From the NEIGHBOR control samples from MEEI, 27 were selected who best matched the age (at blood draw), time since sample collection and sex of the POAG probands from GLAUGEN. Additional individual-level phenotype and genotype data may be obtained through the authorized access portal of phs000238 (Neighbor - Glaucoma GWAS Study).

• De Novo Mutation Rates at the Single-Mutation Resolution in the Human Genome

  We developed a method to measure the origination rates of target mutations of choice and applied it to the HbS and nearby mutations in the human beta-globin (HBB) gene, as well as to the equivalent mutations in the nearly identical delta-globin (HBD) gene in sperm cells from African and European donors. Specifically, after extracting DNA from the sperm of the donors, each sample is enriched for the HbS mutation and nearby mutations by the restriction enzyme Bsu36I, which cleaves the wild-type (WT) sequence CCTGAGG at positions 16–22 of HBB and the homologous positions of HBD while leaving the HbS mutant and other mutants in these positions intact. Next, unique barcodes are attached to the DNA fragments from these Bsu36I-treated samples in order to reduce error by consensus sequencing of copies originating from the same original fragment. To determine how many target WT sequences have been removed (scanned) by Bsu36I digestion and hence to be able to calculate the de novo mutation rate, we run a second reaction in parallel for each donor. This reaction involves the same steps as the former reaction except for digestion by Bsu36I (Bsu36I-untreated). Spiking into the Bsu36I-treated and untreated samples known amounts of mock HBB-like DNA molecules that are fully resistant to Bsu36I digestion allows to calculate in the sequence analysis stage the Bsu36I-enrichment score based on the change in their frequency between the two treatments, which in turn is used to calculate the number of scanned WT sequences. Our results show significant correspondence between de novo mutation rates and past observations of alleles in carriers, showing that mutation rates vary substantially in a mutation-specific manner that contributes to the site frequency spectrum. We also found that the overall point mutation rate is significantly higher in Africans than Europeans in the HBB region studied. Finally, the rate of the 20A>T mutation, called the “HbS mutation” when it appears in HBB, is significantly higher than expected from the genome-wide average for this mutation type. Nine instances were observed in the African HBB ROI, where it is of adaptive significance, representing at least three independent originations, and no instances were observed in the European HBB ROI or in the European or African HBD ROI.12 consented subjects; samples from two subjects were pooled

• Temptation Resistance Failures: Transdiagnostic Features and Influences

  Multiple forms of psychopathology involve problems with resisting temptations and urges. This study utilizes experience sampling (ES) methodology to assess temptation resistance across different classes of temptations and urges including both common everyday temptations and more disorder-specific temptation classes. The study tests the hypothesis that the broad ability to successfully resist temptations and urges across temptation classes is a common features of the externalizing superspectrum (factor) of psychopathology, particularly the disinhibition spectra as defined by the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP). Additional associations are expected to arise between reduced temptation resistance success for specific temptation classes and narrower symptom domains associated with the externalizing and internalizing spectra (e.g., binge eating, and nonsuicidal self-harm among internalizing symptoms). The study further tests genetic and environmental influences on temptation strength and resistance ability with a focus on polygenic scores, adverse childhood experiences and childhood neighborhood deprivation variables that have previously been related to externalizing. To address these issues, we will study up to 1200 subjects (minimum 1000) selected with enrichment for psychopathology. Subjects will be recruited from a combination of ResearchMatch, and targeted contact with Reddit groups, and targeted social media/online advertisements, with targeted recruitment of at least 150 subjects who indicate problems with SUD, alcohol use disorder (AUD) or nicotine dependence, 70 who indicate problems with gambling or other impulse control problems, 70 subjects with criminal/legal problems, and 70 subjects based on binge eating episodes 70 with self-injurious behavior, and 70 with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Subjects will complete the (Externalizing Spectrum Inventory-BF and HiTOP-SR) to measure externalizing and internalizing spectra. Diagnoses in key categories will be confirmed with structured diagnostic interviews. Subjects also complete information on childhood adversity and geocoding is used to assess environment during development. The two-week ES regimen collects data on the strongest types of temptations and urges experienced by the subject, their subjective strength, the goal of the urge (pleasure/relief from negative feelings), the level of conflict with other goals, whether the person attempted to resist the temptation, the resistance strategy, and resistance success, to allow assessment of the extent to which differences in each of these facets (and calculated temptation resistance efficacy) are related to narrow or broad dimensions of psychopathology. Whole genome sequencing with .5x coverage and imputation will be performed to allow generation of polygenic scores for externalizing and addiction in order to test the hypothesis that externalizing polygenic scores are related to poor temptation resistance efficacy across temptation classes.

• NHLBI TOPMed: San Antonio Family Heart Study (SAFHS)

  The San Antonio Family Heart Study (SAFHS) is a complex pedigree-based mixed longitudinal study designed to identify low frequency or rare variants influencing susceptibility to cardiovascular disease, using whole genome sequence (WGS) information from 2,590 individuals in large Mexican American pedigrees from San Antonio, Texas. The major objectives of this study are to identify low frequency or rare variants in and around known common variant signals for CVD, as well as to find novel low frequency or rare variants influencing susceptibility to CVD. WGS of the SAFHS cohort has been obtained through three efforts. Approximately 540 WGS were performed commercially at 50X by Complete Genomics, Inc (CGI) as part of the large T2D-GENES Project. The phenotype and genotype data for this group is available at dbGaP under accession number phs000462. An additional ~900 WGS at 30X were obtained through Illumina as part of the R01HL113322 "Whole Genome Sequencing to Identify Causal Genetic Variants Influencing CVD Risk" project. Finally, ~1,150 WGS at 30X WGS were obtained through Illumina funded by a supplement as part of the NHLBI's TOPMed program. Extensive phenotype data are provided for sequenced individuals primarily obtained from the P01HL45522 "Genetics of Atherosclerosis in Mexican Americans" for adults and R01HD049051 for children in these same families. Phenotype information was collected between 1991 and 2016. For this dataset, the SAFHS appellation represents an amalgamation of the original SAFHS participants and an expansion that reexamined families previously recruited for the San Antonio Family Diabetes Study (R01DK042273) and the San Antonio Family Gall Bladder Study (R01DK053889). Due to this substantial examination history, participants may have information from up to five visits. The clinical variables reported are coordinated with TOPMed and include major adverse cardiac events (MACE), T2D status and age at diagnosis, glycemic traits (fasting glucose and insulin), blood pressure, blood lipids (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, calculated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides). Additional phenotype data include the medication status at each visit, classified in four categories as any current use of diabetes, hypertension or lipid-lowering medications, and, for females, current use of female hormones. Anthropometric measurements include age, sex, height, weight, hip circumference, waist circumference and derived ratios. PBMC derived gene expression assays for a subset of ~1,060 individuals obtained using the Illumina Sentrix-6 chip is also available from the baseline examination. The WGS data have been jointly called and are available in the current TOPMed accession (phs001215).

• RNA_seq_analysis_of_transcriptome_variation_with_human_ESC_subclones

  Many studies over the past 10 years, culminating in the recent report of the International Stem Cell Initiative (ISCI, 2011) have shown that hPSC acquire genetic and epigenetic changes during their time in culture. Many of the genetic changes are non-random and recurrent, probably because they provide a selective growth advantage to the undifferentiated cells. Some are shared by embryonal carcinoma cells, the malignant counterparts of ES cells. The origins of these growth advantages are poorly understood, but may come from altered cell cycle dynamics, resistance to apoptosis or altered patterns of differentiation. Less is known about the nature and consequences of epigenetic changes, but it is likely that these similarly affect hPSC behaviour; e.g., enhanced expression of DLK1, an imprinted gene, is associated with altered hPSC growth (Enver et al 2005). Inevitably, these genetic and epigenetic changes will impact on our ability to use hPSC for regenerative medicine, either because malignant transformation of the undifferentiated cells or their differentiated derivatives to be used for transplantation compromises safety, or because they impede the function of those differentiated derivatives, or because they affect the efficiency with which the undifferentiated cells can be expanded and differentiated into desired cell types.
