• NOTCH1 fusion genes in pediatric T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma hallmark a common high-risk subgroup with blood TARC levels as possible biomarker

  T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is a common pediatric malignancy accounting for approximately 20% of the non-Hodgkin lymphomas during childhood. Survival rates of T-LBL are ~80%, but outcome after relapse is dismal, with salvage rates reaching only ~15. Considering the extremely poor prognosis after relapse and absence of clinically relevant high-risk genetics, there is an urgent need for the identification of molecular risk factors and new prognostic biomarkers in T-LBL, as well as identification of new therapeutic strategies. In this study we present a novel entity of high-risk pediatric T-LBL patients characterized by previously unknown NOTCH1 gene fusions and highly elevated blood TARC levels

• NHLBI TOPMed: Genetics of Cardiometabolic Health in the Amish

  The Amish Complex Disease Research Program includes a set of large community-based studies focused largely on cardiometabolic health carried out in the Old Order Amish (OOA) community of Lancaster, Pennsylvania (http://medschool.umaryland.edu/endocrinology/amish/research-program.asp). The OOA population of Lancaster County, PA immigrated to the Colonies from Western Europe in the early 1700's. There are now over 30,000 OOA individuals in the Lancaster area, nearly all of whom can trace their ancestry back 12-14 generations to approximately 700 founders. Investigators at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have been studying the genetic determinants of cardiometabolic health in this population since 1993. To date, over 7,000 Amish adults have participated in one or more of our studies. Due to their ancestral history, the OOA may be enriched for rare variants that arose in the population from a single founder (or small number of founders) and propagated through genetic drift. Many of these variants have large effect sizes and identifying them can lead to new biological insights about health and disease. The parent study for this WGS project provides one (of multiple) examples. In our parent study, we identified through a genome-wide association analysis a haplotype that was highly enriched in the OOA that is associated with very high LDL-cholesterol levels. At the present time, the identity of the causative SNP - and even the implicated gene - is not known because the associated haplotype contains numerous genes, none of which are obvious lipid candidate genes. A major goal of the WGS that will be obtained through the NHLBI TOPMed Consortium will be to identify functional variants that underlie some of the large effect associations observed in this unique population.

• Risk and modifying factors in Frontotemporal Dementia

  Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is essential for the development of successful therapies. Here, we present Phase 1 of a multi-omics, multi-model data resource for FTD research which will allows in-depth molecular research into these mechanisms. We have integrated and analysed data from the frontal lobe of FTD patients with mutations in MAPT, GRN and C9orf72 and detected common and distinct dysregulated cellular pathways. Our results highlight that excitatory neurons are the most vulnerable neuronal cell type and that vascular aberrations are a common hallmark in FTD. Via integration of multi-omics data, we detected several transcription factors and pathways which regulate the strong neuroinflammation observed in FTD-GRN. Finally, using small RNA-seq data and verification experiments in cellular models, we identified several up-regulated miRNAs that inhibit cellular trafficking pathways in FTD and lead to microglial activation. In this work we shed light on novel mechanistic and pathophysiological hallmarks of FTD. In addition, we believe that this comprehensive, multi-omics data resource will further mechanistic FTD research by the community.

• Comparative transcriptome of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors from myeloproliferative patients and control donors

  BCR-ABL-negative MPNs are related to mutations activating the JAK2/STAT pathway and occurring in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). The most prevalent mutation is JAK2V617F. Calreticulin (CALR) and activating MPLW515 mutations are also observed in ET and PMF. Additional non-MPN mutations may be found, particularly in PMF, and can change disease phenotype or accelerate progression to myelofibrosis or leukemia. In this study, we wanted to compare the transcriptome of CD34+ progenitors from JAK2V617F postive MPN patients to the CD34+ progenitors from control donors. The patients were selected for their high JAK2V617F variant allele frequency (from 60 to 100% VAF). Peripheral blood from patients was collected in EDTA tubes. Hematopoietic progenitors (CD34+) were isolated from mononuclear cells (MNCs) by immunomagnetic enrichment (Miltenyi, Biotech) and were amplified for 5 days in serum-free medium in the presence of a cocktail of human recombinant cytokines containing EPO (1 U/mL) (Amgen Thousand Oaks, CA), TPO (20 ng/mL) (Kirin, Japan), SCF (25 ng/mL) (Biovitrum AB, Sweden), IL-3 (10 ng/mL), FLT3-L (10 ng/mL), G-CSF (20 ng/mL) and IL-6 (100 U/mL) (MiltenyiBiotec).

• Andersen-Tawil Syndrome: Genotype-phenotype correlation and longitudinal study

  Andersen-Tawil Syndrome (ATS) is a rare, genetic disorder that causes episodes of muscle weakness, potentially life-threatening changes in heart rhythm, and developmental abnormalities. Disease symptoms can vary, the cause of some ATS cases remains unknown, and no specific treatment has been identified. The purpose of this multi-site study is to better characterize ATS, establish whether symptoms change over time, and determine if symptoms are related to a mutation in the KCNJ2 gene.

• H3Africa - Identification and characterization of novel hereditary neurological disease genes in Mali.

  Despite the vast diversity of its populations, genetic studies in Africa have been limited. African populations, Malians in particular, have a high rate of intra-ethnic and consanguineous marriage, resulting in increased prevalence of autosomal recessive diseases. Family-based genetic studies can be limited in developed countries due to small sibships. The average fertility rate in Mali is over 6 births per woman, offering a unique opportunity to find new disease genes or mutations that can then be studied in other populations. Hereditary neurological diseases are very debilitating diseases, and developing countries, particularly in Africa, pay a high price in terms of disability-adjusted life years. Although most are currently untreatable, increasing awareness about hereditary neurological disorders can reduce this burden. This study will help to identify and characterize novel hereditary neurological disease genes in Mali. These genes are likely to be important in the normal function of the nervous system and to have important pathophysiological implications for African and other populations. This study will also train physicians and students in the characterization of neurodegenerative diseases as well as in genetic technology and molecular biology, and build a suitable research environment that will retain them.

• Motif-directed chromatin repression by BCL11B shapes ectopic targeting and lineage commitment

  BCL11B encodes a critical T-lineage transcription factor that is implicated as both an oncogene and a tumor suppressor in acute leukemia. Despite its central role in development and malignancy, a basic understanding of the sequence determinants of BCL11B activity remains obscure. Here, we define two functionally distinct modes of BCL11B engagement with chromatin: Most detectable BCL11B binding events are determined by pre-existing patterns of chromatin accessibility and RUNX1 occupancy. In contrast, BCL11B directs chromatin closing at genomic regions enriched for DNA motifs containing the core “TGACC” sequence, which are most prevalent in non-T lineages. These BCL11B-closed target sites cannot be identified from conventional BCL11B chromatin profiling approaches yet represent the primary mechanism by which BCL11B regulates gene expression. We provide evidence that cell of origin impacts the ability of BCL11B to repress lineage-inappropriate gene programs, thereby promoting lineage skewing. Together, these findings define a motif-centered determinant of BCL11B repression and explain how BCL11B controls lineage specification.

• MutWP6__CRUK_Grand_Challenge_Mutographs_of_Cancer__Botseq

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