• Test Study for EGA using data from 1000 Genomes Project - Phase 3

  The 1000 Genomes Project set out to provide a comprehensive description of common human genetic variation by applying whole-genome sequencing to a diverse set of individuals from multiple populations. Here we report completion of the project, having reconstructed the genomes of 2,504 individuals from 26 populations using a combination of low-coverage whole-genome sequencing, deep exome sequencing, and dense microarray genotyping. We characterized a broad spectrum of genetic variation, in total over 88 million variants (84.7 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 3.6 million short insertions/deletions (indels), and 60,000 structural variants), all phased onto high-quality haplotypes. This resource includes >99% of SNP variants with a frequency of >1% for a variety of ancestries. We describe the distribution of genetic variation across the global sample, and discuss the implications for common disease studies...

• The Familial Intracranial Aneurysm Linkage Study (FIA)

  Our long-term objective is to identify susceptibility genes that are related to the formation of intracranial aneurysms (IA). Rupture of IAs occurs in 16,000 to 17,000 persons in the U.S. annually and nearly half of affected persons are dead within the first 30 days. An additional 6,000 to 7,000 persons with unruptured IAs are identified each year. Accumulated evidence indicates that a genetic component plays an important role in the development of IAs, but specific loci affecting the risk of IA have not been identified. The primary hypothesis of this study is that there are specific human chromosomal regions that are associated with an increased risk of IAs. Specific Aims of are: Recruitment of 400 (475) families with multiple individuals who have an IA through 23 (25) referral centers throughout North America, Australia, and New Zealand that represent 35 (40) recruitment sites. Ascertainment of interviews and blood samples from all affected family members as well as their first-degree relatives. White blood cells from living persons with an IA will be cryopreserved at Coriell Institute for Medical Research for future immortalization of cells lines as indicated. Identification of unruptured IAs by obtaining MRAs in selected asymptomatic siblings (of affected individuals). Completion of a 10 cM genome series in persons with IAs as well as the spouses and children of persons with an IA who are deceased. We will perform finer mapping of chromosomal regions with suggestive evidence of linkage in the genome screen. Performance of a nonparametric (allele sharing) linkage analysis, including relevant environmental factors such as smoking, to identify chromosomal regions linked to IA. Reconstruction of the genotypes of deceased affected family members will be performed. Identification of individuals who are genetically at high risk for the development of IAs would enable targeted and effective screening/prevention/treatment strategies to reduce the substantial mortality and morbidity associated with this devastating type of stroke. Only a multidisciplinary, collaborative effort to identify, accrue, and genotype FIA families will be successful in identifying sufficient high-risk families to characterize the genetic underpinnings of IA.

• Contextual and Health Behavior Effects on Epigenetic Aging Among Africans in the Family and Community Health Studies

  The Family and Community Health Studies (FACHS) is a longitudinal examination of health and health related behaviors in African American families. The original study cohort consisted of 867 African American parent-child dyads from Georgia and Iowa who were ascertained in cooperation with local school districts. The key inclusion criteria for participating in the study were the presence of an adolescent in the 5th grade (approximately 10-11 years old) who self-identified as African American (i.e., the Target) and the participation of a primary caretaker (PC) for the Target. The clinical and biological data included in this collection are from the Target (i.e., FACHS-T) portion of these studies of these African American parent-child dyads. The initial wave of behavioral assessments of the FACHS-T subjects was conducted in 1997-98 (Wave 1), with seven subsequent ascertainments, Wave 2 (1999–2000), Wave 3 (2002–2003), Wave 4 (2005–2006), Wave 5 (2007–2009), Wave 6 (2010–2011), Wave 7 (2014–2016) and Wave 8 (2019-2021). Full interviews were obtained at each wave of the study with the exact content of the wave varying as a function of developmental age. These interviews of the FACHS-T subjects collected a wide variety of data including the following: perceived discrimination; socioeconomic status; substance use exposure; common internalizing and externalizing disorders such as depression, substance use, and conduct disorder; school efficacy; peer support and perceived parenting practices. Biological sampling of the FACHS-T subjects was conducted at three time points. Saliva DNA was collected at Wave 5 while full phlebotomy was conducted at Waves 7 and 8. The genome wide methylation data listed below is derived from the whole blood DNA samples collected at Wave 8 and Wave 9. The genome wide genotyping data was determined using DNA from the Wave 7 samples. The clinical and biological data available herein are those from 309 FACHS-T subjects who participated in both Wave 7 and Wave 8, and who consented for deposition of their data in dbGAP.

• Molecular_characterization_of_invasive_lobular_carcinoma

  Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common histological subtype of breast cancer accounting for 10-15% of cases. ILC differs from invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC)with respect to epidemiology, histology, and clinical presentation. Moreover, ILC is lesssensitive to chemotherapy, more frequently bilateral, and more prone to form gastrointestinal, peritoneal, and ovarian metastases than IDCs. In contrast to IDC, the prognostic value ofhistological grade (HG) in ILC is controversial. One of the three major components of histological grading (tubule formation) is missing in ILC which hinders the process of gradingin this histological subtype and results in the classification of approximately two thirds of ILC as HG 2.Over the last decade, a number of gene expression signatures have shed light onto breast cancer classification, allowing breast cancer care to become more personalized. Withrespect to the management of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, several gene expression signatures provide prognostic and/or predictive information beyond what is possible with current classical clinico-pathological parameters alone. Nevertheless, most studies using gene expression signature have not considered different histologic subtypesseparately. Recently, a comprehensive research program has elucidated some of the biological underpinnings of invasive lobular carcinoma. Genetic material extracted from 200 ILC tumor samples were studied using gene expression profiling and identified ILCmolecular subtypes. These proliferation-driven gene signatures of ILC appear to have prognostic significance. In particular, the Genomic Grade (GG) gene signature improved upon HG in ILC and added prognostic value to classic clinico-pathologic factors. In addition this study demonstrated that most ILC are molecularly characterized as luminal-A (~75%)followed by luminal-B (~20%) and HER2-positve tumors (~5%). Moreover, we investigated the prognostic value of known gene signatures/ gene modules in the same cohort of ILC. As a second step within the scope of this project, we aim to investigate the interactionsbetween somatic ILC tumor mutations to observed transcriptome findings. To this end, we aim to perform somatic mutation analysis for the ILC tumors for which Affymetrix gene expression profiling is available. To this end, we will use a gene screen assay, which specifically interrogates the mutational status of a few hundreds of cancer genes. We believe that this pioneering effort will be fundamental for a tailored treatment of ILC withimprovement in patients' outcome.

• RNA_Seq_in_Patients_with_Primordial_Dwarfism

  Transcriptome studies in patients with rare genetic diseases can potentially aid in theinterpretation of likely causal genetic variation through identification of altered transcriptabundance and/or structure. RNA-Seq is the most sensitive assay for both investigatingtranscript structure and abundanceThe primary aim of this pilot project is to investigate to what degree integrating exome-Seqand RNA-Seq data on the same individual can accelerate the identification of causal allelesfor rare genetic diseases. There are two main strands to this: (i) identifying which variantsdiscovered in exome-seq appear to be having a functional impact on transcripts, and (ii)identifying transcript outliers, especially among known causal genes, that may not necessarilyhave a causal variant identified from exome sequencing. The latter may identify the presenceof causal variants that lie far from coding regions (e.g. the formation of cryptic splice sitesdeep within introns, or loss of long range regulatory elements), which can be confirmed withfurther targeted genetic assays. Just over 50% of all disease-causing variants recorded in theHuman Gene Mutation Database (HGMD) affect transcript structure and abundance (e.g.nonsense SNVs, essential splice site SNVs, frameshifting indels, CNVs).This pilot project will study RNA from lymphoblastoid cell-lines from 12 patients withprimordial dwarfism syndromes, for 10 of these samples we have previously generate exomedata as part of our collaboration with the group of Prof Andrew Jackson. The two remainingsamples are positive controls where the causal mutation is known, and is known to affecttranscript structure and/or abundance.Primordial dwarfism is a prime candidate for these RNA-seq studies because all knowncausal mutations to date have key roles in DNA replication and thus, unsurprisingly, theproducts of the causal genes are typically ubiquitously expressed.Each RNA will be sequenced, with two technical replicates (independent RT-PCR and libraries) persample, and each replicate run in 1/2 of a HiSeq lane using 100bp paired reads. Samples preparation was as follows :The cells were grown to confluency, then pellets frozen at -80. RNA samples were prepared using the Qiagen RNeasy kit, then nanodropped and analyzed using the bioanalyzer to determine concentration and purity.This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• DNA Methylation Markers and Pancreatic Cancer Risk in 3 Cohort Studies (NHS, PHS, HPFS)

  Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer deaths in the US. Due to the lack of early symptoms, pancreatic cancer is difficult to identify at early stages and no screening is available for the general population. Identifying pancreatic cancer at earlier stages could significantly improve survival with increased opportunities for surgery. New high-dimensional arrays designed to measure DNA methylation levels at hundreds of thousands of CpG sites throughout the genome have opened opportunities to examine the role of DNA methylation in cancer risk using blood samples. Using this method, archived samples from prospective studies can be used to examine early changes in the DNA methylation levels in individuals who develop cancer months or years later, providing new opportunities to better understand biological mechanisms and, perhaps, identify biomarkers for early detection. Pancreatic cancer cases and matched controls were obtained from 3 large cohort studies, the Nurses' Health Study (NHS), the Physician's Health Study (PHS), and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS), to measure DNA methylation in stored buffy coats using a nested case-control study design.

• Next Generation Mendelian Genetics: Neonatal Diabetes

  The NHGRI Next Generation Mendelian Genetics project uses exome resequencing to identify variants in unsolved Mendelian diseases. Neonatal diabetes mellitus (ND) is a rare form of monogenic diabetes (90,000-260,000 live births) that is diagnosed in the first 6 months of life. The disease has been classified as transient or permanent and although it can be inherited, more frequently is sporadic as a result of 'de novo' mutations. Defects in 12 genes have been found as responsible for the disease (defects in the paternally imprinted chromosomal region 6q24, IPF1, SLCA2A, INS, EIF2AK3, GCK, FOXP3, GLIS3, PTF1A, HNF1Beta, KCNJ11 and ABCC8). The two subunits of the ATP-sensitive K channel (ABCC8 and KCNJ11) and the insulin gene (INS), account for almost half of the cases and similar to CHI, the other half, remains genetically unexplained. We became part of this study when we submitted 4 DNA samples for exome sequencing, from patients with NDM of Caucasian ancestry, which had no mutations identified in ABCC8 or KCNJ1, with the goal to identify new mutations in known genes or new mutations or genetic variants in new genes.

• Genomics of Circulating Tumor Cells

  Comprehensive analyses of cancer genomes in clinical settings promise to inform prognoses and guide the deployment of precise cancer treatments. A major barrier, however, is the inaccessibility of adequate metastatic tissue for accurate genomic analysis in prostate and other cancers. A potential solution is to characterize circulating tumor cells (CTCs), but this requires overcoming multiple technical hurdles. Here, we report an integrated process to isolate, qualify, and sequence whole exomes of CTCs with high fidelity, using a census-based sequencing strategy. Power calculations suggest that mapping of over 99.995% of the territory accessible in bulk exome sequencing is possible in CTCs. We validated our sequencing process in two prostate cancer patients including one for whom we compared CTC-derived mutations to mutations found in a lymph node metastasis and nine cores of the primary tumor. 51 of 73 CTC mutations (70%) were observed in matched tissue. Moreover, we identified 10 early trunk mutations and 56 metastatic trunk mutations in the non-CTC tumor samples and found 90% and 73% of these, respectively, in CTC exomes. This study establishes a foundation for CTC genomics in the clinic.

• Detecting and Subtyping Lung Cancer Through Analysis of Circulating Tumor DNA

  Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is among the most aggressive tumors with poor clinical outcomes. Tumors are rarely resected, which is a major barrier to molecular profiling of tumor tissue; therefore, non-invasive approaches using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from liquid biopsies are needed to help advance research and clinical care for patients with SCLC. We developed a targeted capture panel that profiles SCLC genes and transcriptional regulation sites, including transcription start sites (TSS) and transcription factor binding sites (TFBS). This is a single assay that detects genomic mutations and transcriptional regulation activity based on ctDNA fragment patterns reflecting epigenetic nucleosomal positions. We applied this assay to sequence patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and patient plasma samples. We also performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) for a subset of the PDX plasma samples to validate the capture data. We developed new algorithms to quantify activity of key SCLC marker genes of ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, and ATOH1 and to classify SCLC subtypes based on activity of these markers. Furthermore, we developed a model to classify SCLC from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which has potential important applications for monitoring transdifferentiation and tumor plasticity.

• Genetic Studies of Homologous Recombination Deficiency in Hispanic Gastric Cancer

  Approximately 10% of gastric cancer cases show familial clustering and a hereditary cause is likely, however, only 1-3% cases result from known hereditary syndromes – which are predominantly associated with CDH1 and CTNNA1 genes. Hispanics are > 2 times more likely to be diagnosed and to die from gastric cancer compared to non-Hispanic whites. Not only does gastric cancer precision medicine lag behind other cancers – there is an urgent need to understand its etiology. Germline mutations in homologous recombination genes have been implicated as important risk factors for gastric cancer. The purpose of this study is to continue to generate knowledge to improve gastric cancer outcomes and disparities by 1) characterizing prevalence of germline mutations in homologous recombination genes and identify new genes associated with gastric cancer 2) perform molecular characterization of gastric tumors in Hispanic patients. Participants for germline analysis were enrolled from Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, Uruguay.Whole exome sequence capture was performed for all germline and somatic samples using Agilent SureSelect Human All Exon v7 Kit. All sequencing was performed on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000. Germline Analysis: Whole exome sequencing was performed on 536 Hispanic patients (290 males, 246 female)
