• Blood DNA Methylation in Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC): a Prospective Cohort Study

  Background: DNA methylation integrates environmental signals with transcriptional programs. COVID-19 infection induces changes in the host methylome. While post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) is a long-term complication of acute illness, its association with DNA methylation is unknown. No universal blood marker of PASC, superseding single organ dysfunctions, has yet been identified. Methods: In this single center prospective cohort study, PASC, post-COVID without PASC, and healthy participants were enrolled to investigate their symptoms association with peripheral blood DNA methylation data generated with state-of-the-art whole genome sequencing (WGS). PASC-induced quality-of-life deterioration was scored with a validated instrument, SF-36. Analyses were conducted to identify potential functional roles of differentially methylated loci, and machine learning algorithms were used to resolve PASC severity. Findings: 103 patients with PASC (22.3% male, 77.7% female), 15 patients with previous COVID-19 infection but no PASC (40.0% male, 60.0% female), and 27 healthy volunteers (48.1% male, 51.9% female) were enrolled. Whole genome methylation sequencing revealed 39 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) specific to PASC, each harboring an average of 15 consecutive positions, that differentiate patients with PASC from the two control groups. Motif analyses of PASC-regulated DMRs identify binding domains for transcription factors regulating circadian rhythm and others. Some DMRs annotated to protein coding genes were associated with changes of RNA expression. Machine learning support vector algorithm and random forest hierarchical clustering reveal 28 unique differentially methylated positions (DMPs) in the genome discriminating patients with better and worse quality of life.

• Integrated Genomic Analysis of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia

  Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a frequent and heterogeneous disease whose genetic alterations determining the clinicobiological behaviour are not fully understood. Here, we describe a comprehensive evaluation of the genomic landscape of 452 CLLs and 54 monoclonal B-lymphocytosis (MBL), a precursor disorder. This study provides an integrated portrait of the genomic landscape of CLL, identifies new recurrent mutations acting as drivers of the disease, and suggests clinical interventions which may improve the management of patients with this neoplasia. The data here included was described in the ICGC-CLL manuscript published by Puente et al (Nature 2015). Note that complementary RNA-seq data generated within the IGCG-CLL can be found in EGAS00001000374.

• NHLBI Cleveland Family Study (CFS) Candidate Gene Association Resource (CARe)

  The Cleveland Family Study is the largest family-based study of sleep apnea world-wide, consisting of 2284 individuals (46% African American) from 361 families studied on up to 4 occasions over a period of 16 years. The study was begun in 1990 with the initial aims of quantifying the familial aggregation of sleep apnea. NIH renewals provided expansion of the original cohort (including increased minority recruitment) and longitudinal follow-up, with the last exam occurring in February 2006. Index probands (n=275) were recruited from 3 area hospital sleep labs if they had a confirmed diagnosis of sleep apnea and at least 2 first-degree relatives available to be studied. In the first 5 years of the study, neighborhood control probands (n=87) with at least 2 living relatives available for study were selected at random from a list provided by the index family and also studied. All available first degree relatives and spouses of the case and control probands also were recruited. Second-degree relatives, including half-sibs, aunts, uncles and grandparents, were also included if they lived near the first degree relatives (cases or controls), or if the family had been found to have two or more relatives with sleep apnea. Blood was sampled and DNA isolated for participants seen in the last two exam cycles (n=1447). The sample, which is enriched with individuals with sleep apnea, also contains a high prevalence of individuals with sleep apnea-related traits, including: obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, and HTN. Phenotyping data have been collected over 4 exam cycles, each occurring ~every 4 years. The last three exams targeted all subjects who had been studied at earlier exams, as well as new minority families and family members of previously studied probands who had been unavailable at prior exams. Data from one, two, three and four visits are available for 412, 630, 329 and 67, participants, respectively. In the first 3 exams, participants underwent overnight in-home sleep studies, allowing determination of the number and duration of hypopneas and apneas, sleep period, heart rate, and oxygen saturation levels; anthropometry (weight, height, and waist, hip, and neck circumferences); resting blood pressure; spirometry; standardized questionnaire evaluation of symptoms, medications, sleep patterns, quality of life, daytime sleepiness measures and health history; venipuncture and measurement of total and HDL cholesterol. The 4th exam (2001-2006) was designed to collect more detailed measurements of sleep, metabolic and CVD phenotypes and included measurement of state-of-the-art polysomnography, with both collection of blood and measurement of blood pressure before and after sleep, and anthropometry, upper airway assessments, spirometry, exhaled nitric oxide, and ECG performed the morning after the sleep study. Data have been collected by trained research assistants or GCRC nurses following written Manuals of Procedures who were certified following standard approaches for each study procedure. Ongoing data quality, with assessment of within or between individual drift, has been monitored on an ongoing basis, using statistical techniques as well as regular re-certification procedures. Between and within scorer reliabilities for key sleep apnea indices have been excellent, with intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) exceeding 0.92 for the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Sleep staging, assessed with epoch specific comparisons, also demonstrate excellent reliability for stage identification (kappas>0.82). There has been no evidence of significant time trends-between or within scorers- for the AHI variables. We also have evaluated the night-to-night variability of the AHI and other sleep variables in 91 subjects, with each measurement made 1-3 months apart. There is high night to night consistency for the AHI (ICC: 0.80), the arousal index (0.76), and the % sleep time in slow-wave sleep (0.73). We have demonstrated the comparability of the apnea estimates (AHI) determined from limited channel studies obtained at in-home settings with in full in-laboratory polysomnography. In addition to our published validation study, we more recently compared the AHI in 169 Cleveland Family Study participants undergoing both assessments (in-home and in-laboratory) within one week apart. These showed excellent levels of agreement (ICC=0.83), demonstrating the feasibility of examining data from either in-home or in-laboratory studies for apnea phenotyping. Data collected in the GCRC were obtained, when possible, with comparable, if not identical techniques, as were the same measures collected at prior exams performed in the participants' homes. To address the comparability of data collected over different exams, we calculated the crude age-adjusted correlations ~3 year within individual correlations between measures made in the most recent GCRC exam with measures made in a prior exam and demonstrated excellent levels of agreement for BMI (r=.91); waist circumference (0.91); FVC (0.88); and FEV1 (0.86). As expected due to higher biological and measurement variability, 149 somewhat lower 3-year correlations were demonstrated for SBP (0.56); Diastolic BP (0.48); AHI (0.62); and nocturnal oxygen desaturation (0.60). NHLBI Candidate-gene Association Resource. The NHLBI initiated the Candidate gene Association Resource (CARe) to create a shared genotype/phenotype resource for analyses of the association of genotypes with phenotypes relevant to the mission of the NHLBI. The resource comprises nine cohort studies funded by the NHLBI: Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC), Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), Cleveland Family Study (CFS), Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA), Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSSCD), Framingham Heart Study (FHS), Jackson Heart Study (JHS), Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), and the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS). A database of genotype and phenotype data will be created that includes records for approximately 50,000 study participants with approximately 50,000 SNPs from more than 1,200 selected candidate genes. In addition, a genome wide association study using a 1,000K SNP Chip will be conducted on approximately 9,500 African American participants drawn from the 50,000 participants in the nine cohorts.

• A Combined Omics and Tissue Biobank for Paediatric Cancers

  The Swedish Childhood Tumour Biobank (BTB) is a nonprofit national infrastructure for samples and genomic data collection from pediatric patients diagnosed with central nervous system and other solid tumours in Sweden. Fresh frozen tumour tissue and patient’s matched blood are collected from affected patients and genomic data is continuously generated and made available for approved medical research projects. We expect that the accessibility of biological samples and/or data to the research community will contribute to further advances in the understanding of tumour biology, which in turn will impact many aspects of clinical care of children with cancer, by refining diagnosis and/or identifying oncogenic drivers and therapeutic targets.

• HGSC WGS for the study Genomic consequences of aberrant DNA repair mechanisms stratify ovarian cancer histotypes

  HGSC cases in the OvCaRe and CRCHUM Tumour Banks were selected according to the following criteria: (i) were administered platinum taxane based therapy; (ii) relapsed within 12 months (365 days) or had at least longer than 4.5 years (1642.5 days) follow-up data; (iii) had at least 50% tumour content by H&E staining and expert pathology review. All cases were re-reviewed by expert pathologists to confirm the diagnosis of HGSC. Germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 was determined for all patients through hereditary cancer screening programs. The design of cases selection as a discovery cohort was engineered to amplify biological differences by selecting cases from the extremes of the outcome distribution. All HGSC tumours are primary tumour samples. Library construction and sequencing Frozen specimens with >50% tumour cellularity (based on initial slide review) were used for cryosectioning and subsequent nucleic acid extraction. Patient tumour and normal blood samples derived from primary, untreated fresh frozen tumour specimens harvested at diagnosis during standard of care debulking surgery. Germline DNA was provided from peripheral blood buffy coat on all specimens except 13 from Tokyo, where non-cancer frozen tissue was used as a germline source. DNA extraction from both matched normal (blood) and tumour samples (frozen tissue) were performed using the QIAamp Blood and Tissue DNA kit (Qiagen) and quantified using a Qbit fluorometer and reagents (high-sensitivity assay). Three lanes of Illumina HiSeq 2500 v4 chemistry for normal samples and five lanes for tumour samples were obtained. The PCR-free protocol was adopted to eliminate the PCR-induced bias and improve coverage across the genome.

• NextGen Consortium: The iPSCORE (iPSC Collection for Omic Research) Resource for Studying the Impact of Genetic Variation on Molecular and Physiological Phenotypes - Whole Genome Sequence

  The iPSC Collection for Omic Research (iPSCORE) Resource was created as part of the Next-Gen Consortium funded by NHLBI. The overarching purpose of the resource is to provide a large collection of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for use in studying the impact of genetic variation on molecular and physiological phenotypes. The resource has been used in a number of studies in the Dr. Kelly A. Frazer's Lab examining both the characteristics of human iPSCs and a variety of iPSC-derived cell types including cardiovascular progenitor cells (iPSC-CVPCs), pancreatic precursor cells (iPSC-PPCs), and retina pigment epithelium cells (iPSC-RPEs). We have shown that the iPSCs, CVPCs, and PPCs are suitable surrogate models to identify genetic factors active in early developmental processes because they exhibit fetal-like molecular properties.A total of 273 individuals have participated in the study, of which 222 have had iPSCs generated from fibroblasts. Of the 273 individuals, 181 are part of 55 families that include 24 monozygotic twin pairs and 5 dizygotic twin pairs, allowing for the incorporation of familial relationships into genetic analyses.Germline DNA has been sequenced from blood or fibroblast samples for all 273 individuals (available through dbGaP phs001325) and other genomic data (RNA-seq, DNA methylation, genotype arrays, ATAC-seq, H3K27ac ChIP-seq, HiC-seq) have been generated from the 222 iPSCs as well as derived cell types (available through dbGaP phs000924).QTL analyses were conducted for multiple omics data types and summary statistics are available through dbGaP phs0001325.Important note: Of the 273 individuals, 268 are consented for general research use and 5 are consented for cardiac research only.For detailed information about iPSCORE Collection including samples, methods used to generate the data, and how to access the datasets visit the Frazer lab website.The 222 well characterized iPSC lines that constitute the iPSCORE resource are available, please contact Dr. Kelly A. Frazer (kafrazer@health.ucsd.edu) if you are interested in obtaining the collection.

• MutWP1: CRUK Grand Challenge Mutographs of Cancer: Colorectal_LCM (2020-02-20)

  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. Different patterns of somatic mutation are generated by the different environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors that cause cancer, many of them are still unknown. Within Mutographs, the International Agency for Research on Cancer is coordinating the recruitment of 5000 individuals with cancer (colorectal, renal, pancreatic, oesophageal adenocarcinoma or oesophageal squamous cancers) across 5 continents to explore whether different mutational signatures explain marked variation in incidence. In brief, through an international network of collaborators around the world, biological materials are collected, along with demographic, histological, clinical and questionnaire data. Whole genome sequences of tumour-germline DNA pairs are generated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. Somatic mutational signatures are subsequently extracted by non-negative matrix factorisation methods and correlated with risk factors data. 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. . This dataset contains all the data available for this study on 2020-02-20.

• Resistance to Checkpoint Blockade Therapy Through Inactivation of Antigen Presentation

  Although immune checkpoint blockade (CPB) leads to prolonged responses in 15-40% of patients with metastatic melanoma, treatment refractory disease and progression after initial response remain major causes of mortality. While predictors of response have been reported, the common mechanisms of both primary and acquired resistance are poorly understood. To identify mechanisms of resistance and examine the evolving landscape in response to CPB, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and RNA-sequencing (RNAseq) of longitudinal tumor biopsies from 17 metastatic melanoma patients treated with various CPB therapies. We found no significant changes in both mutational and neoantigen loads over time between responders and nonresponders. However, we identified abnormalities in one gene, beta-2-microglobulin (B2M), an essential component of MHC Class I antigen presentation, that were present in samples during disease progression but not regression. In total, we identified B2M aberrations in 29.4% of patients, including multiple early frameshift mutations, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) overlapping B2M, and absence of tumor-specific B2M protein expression. Additional defects in the antigen presentation and IFNγ pathways were identified but were not restricted to progressing lesions in our cohort. In two independent cohorts of 105 and 38 melanoma patients treated with ipilimumab (anti-CTLA4) and pembrolizumab (anti-PD1) respectively, we found that B2M LOH was enriched 3-fold in nonresponders (~30%) vs. responders (~10%) and associated with poorer overall survival (log-rank p=0.01, p=0.006). Loss of both copies of B2M was found only in nonresponders. We also found evidence for association of LOH overlapping IFNGR1 with poorer overall survival exclusively in the anti-PD1 cohort. Thus, B2M loss is likely a common mechanism of primary and acquired resistance to therapies targeting CTLA4 or PD-1.
