• NEI CIDR Methylation Profiling of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma in GLAUGEN 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 GLAUGEN (Glaucoma Gene Environment) initiative 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 GLAUGEN 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 Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI). These samples were collected and genotyped as part of the GLAUGEN study. From the MEEI, 50 patients were selected from POAG pedigrees, to include all the probands genotyped by CIDR and are currently undergoing exome sequencing, and to include additional genotyped probands who belong to pedigrees of sufficient size and structure that parent of origin effects could be evaluated. Additional individual-level phenotype and genotype data may be obtained through the authorized access portal of phs000308 (Geneva - Glaugen GWAS Study).

• Ghana Breast Health Study

  The Ghana Breast Health Study (GBHS) was a multi-disciplinary, population-based case-control study conducted in Accra and Kumasi, Ghana that was designed to investigate breast cancer etiology in the West Africa region. The study enrolled 1,126 invasive breast cancer cases and 2,106 frequency matched population-based controls using census-based sampling. GHBS participants were between the ages of 18 to 74 years of age. Breast cancer cases were recruited at the time they presented with lesions suspicious of breast cancer at three hospitals: Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (Accra), Komfo Anoyke Teaching Hospital (Kumasi) and Peace and Love Hospital (Kumasi). These hospitals are the primary providers of treatment for breast cancer in Ghana, allowing for cases in our study to represent most breast cancers diagnosed in these areas during the study period. The following publications describe the GBHS in detail: 1) Brinton LA et al. Design considerations for identifying breast cancer risk factors in a population-based study in Africa. Int J Cancer 2017;140:2667-2677 (PMID:28295287). 2) Nyante SJ et al. Recruiting population controls for case-control studies in sub-Saharan Africa: The Ghana Breast Health Study. PloS one 2019;14:e0215347 (PMID:30990841)Among subjects with an available source of germline DNA genotyping was performed using the Infinium Global Screening Array-24 per the manufacturer’s guidelines using the Infinium automated protocol. We excluded probable duplicates and close relatives, and samples with a call rate < 95% or samples with extreme heterozygosity. Female sex was verified by Identifiler using X chromosome heterozygosity and the X chromosome inbreeding coefficient F statistics. The GLU genetics’ ld.tagzilla module was used to confirm African ancestry. To resolve more detailed population substructure, principal components analysis was conducted among all unrelated subjects using the EIGENSOFT v7.2.1. Imputation was performed using the Michigan imputation server Minimac3 with 1K genomes phase3 as reference panel.

• A phase II trial of the aurora kinase A inhibitor alisertib for patients with castration resistant and neuroendocrine prostate cancer: efficacy and biomarker evaluation

  Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is an aggressive variant of prostate cancer that may develop de novo or as a mechanism of treatment resistance. N-myc is capable of driving NEPC progression. Alisertib inhibits the interaction between N-myc and its stabilizing factor Aurora-A, inhibiting N-myc signaling, and suppressing tumor growth. In this single arm, multi-institutional open label phase 2 clinical trial of alisertib, sixty men were treated with alisertib 50mg twice daily for 7 days every 21-days. Eligibility included metastatic prostate cancer and at least one: small cell neuroendocrine morphology; ≥50% neuroendocrine marker expression; new liver metastases without PSA progression; elevated serum neuroendocrine markers. The primary endpoint was six-month radiographic progression free survival. Pre-treatment biopsies were evaluated by whole exome and RNA-seq.

• Center for Common Disease Genomics [CCDG] - Cardiovascular: TexGen

  Cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially coronary heart disease, heart failure and cerebrovascular disease remain the leading causes of death in men and women across all race groups in the United States. Substantial evidence exists for genetic factors underlying CVD risk, and their discovery offers an opportunity to enhance understanding of disease mechanisms, to provide specific diagnostic and prognostic indicators, and to identify novel therapeutic targets. The Centers for Common Disease Genomics (CCDG) are a large-scale genome sequencing effort undertaken as a collaboration to identify rare risk and protective alleles for common chronic diseases, with a current focus on early onset heart disease, hemorrhagic stroke, and autism. In this study, whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed in 6,146 individuals with any personal or family history of CVD from the TexGen study who were recruited from several institutions in the Texas Medical Center located in Houston, Texas. The participants included patients who were admitted with a variety of diagnoses including acute coronary syndromes, strokes, and transient ischemic attacks, or who underwent percutaneous coronary interventions or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (Virani SS et al. Am J Cardiology 107:1504-1509, 2011). Patients in the TexGen cohort with a confirmed diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or CABG when discharged from the hospital between 2001-2008 were eligible for a follow-up study of recurrent myocardial infarction (Virani SS et al. Circulation J 76:950-956, 2012), while those presenting with ACS beginning in 2007 were recruited for an investigation of the role of depressive symptoms in the risk of major adverse coronary events (Sanner J et al. Biol Res Nurs 20:168-176, 2018). In addition, the initial criterion for enrollment in a third TexGen sub-study undertaken between 2007 and 2013 was the occurrence of premature acute myocardial infarction in men ≤ 50 years and women ≤ 55 years in order to establish a blood sample collection resource with the intention of localizing genes that contribute to disease risk. This definition was later expanded to include individuals with a clinical history of premature coronary heart disease such as CABG or percutaneous coronary interventions.

• Spatial Dynamics of the Developing Human Heart

  Heart development relies on a topologically defined interplay between diverse cardiac cells. We finely curated spatial and single-cell measurements with high-resolution imaging-based transcriptomics validation to explore spatial dynamics during early human cardiogenesis. Analyzing almost 80,000 individual cells and 70,000 spatially barcoded tissue regions between the 5.5th and 14th postconceptional weeks, we identified 31 coarse- and 72 fine-grained cell states and mapped them to highly resolved cardiac cellular niches. We provide novel insight into the development of the cardiac pacemaker-conduction system, heart valves, and atrial septum, and decipher heterogeneity of the hitherto elusive cardiac fibroblast population. Furthermore, we describe the formation of the cardiac autonomic innervation and present the first spatial account of chromaffin cells in the fetal human heart. Our study, supported by an open-access, spatially centric interactive viewer, delineates the cellular and molecular architecture of the developing heart, offering links to genetic causes of heart disease.

• An atlas of the developing human fetal spine

  The primitive streak emerges during the 14th day of human development and establishes dorsoventral and antero-posterior (craniocaudal) body axes. Segmentation along the craniocaudal axis is governed by Hox genes; four clusters of transcription factors whose 3’ to 5’ expression correlates with position along the axis. The precise utilisation of Hox genes in different cell types remains incompletely characterised in humans. In this study, we applied single-cell and spatial transcriptomics to contiguous regions of the human fetal spine between the 5th and 13th post-conception weeks. We built a detailed developmental atlas to examine the segmental expression of Hox genes across different cell types, observing that the Hox code was displayed by all anatomically fixed cell types along the craniocaudal axis. By contrast, mature derivatives of neural crest cells retained the anatomical Hox code of their origin within the crest, a pattern reproduced across neural crest derivatives in other human fetal organs. These findings indicate that scars of Hox gene expression persist in crest cells which may serve as barcodes of neural crest migration.

• The genetic structure of Norway

  The aim of the present study was to describe the genetic structure of the Norwegian population using genotypes from 6369 unrelated individuals with detailed information about places of residence. Using standard single marker- and haplotype-based approaches, we report evidence of two regions with distinctive patterns of genetic variation, one in the far northeast, and another in the south of Norway, as indicated by fixation indices, haplotype sharing, homozygosity and effective population size. We detect and quantify a component of Uralic Sami ancestry that is enriched in the North. On a finer scale, we find that rates of migration have been affected by topography like mountain ridges. In the broader Scandinavian context, we detect elevated relatedness between the mid- and northern border areas towards Sweden. The main finding of this study is that despite Norway’s long maritime history and as a former Danish territory, the region closest to mainland Europe in the south appears to have been the most isolated region in Norway, highlighting the open sea as a barrier to gene flow into Norway.

• MARS-seq dataset of five obese human subjects and a lean human subject

  Biopsies from visceral adipose tissue from the omental depot (OAT) were obtained from five obese individuals and one lean donor with participant informed consent obtained after the nature and possible consequences of the studies were explained under protocols approved by the Institutional Review Boards of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, or the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. The obese donors underwent bariatric surgery, the lean donor underwent cholecystectomy. OAT samples were placed in 1 mL of DMEM, and finely minced under sterile conditions before digestion in 50 mL of DMEM with 3 mg/1 mL collagenase IV (Gibco). Samples were incubated at 37°C in a rotating oven for 20-60 min. Adipocyte and stromal vascular fractions (SVF) were separated by centrifugation, and red blood cells (RBCs) were removed from the SVF by histopaque gradient (Sigma). Single-cell RNA-sequencing libraries were prepared using the MARS-seq pipeline, and sequenced on the MiSeq 500 or HiSeq 2500 Sequencing System (Illumina).

• dbGaP Collection: NHLBI Heart Failure Related dbGaP Data (No IRB requirement)

  The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Big Data Analysis Challenge: Creating New Paradigms for Heart Failure Research has concluded. The NHLBI will continue to make this collection of data available to the research community.Past information regarding the Data Collection for the NHLBI Big Data Analysis Challenge: Creating New Paradigms for Heart Failure Research is below.The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is inviting novel Solutions for the NHLBI Big Data Analysis Challenge: Creating New Paradigms for Heart Failure Research. The goal of the challenge is to foster innovation in computational analysis and machine learning approaches utilizing large-scale NHLBI-funded datasets to identify new paradigms in heart failure research. The challenge aims to address the need for new open source disease models that can define sub-categorizations of adult heart failure to serve as a springboard for new research hypotheses and tool development in areas of heart failure research from basic to clinical settings. NHLBI has a history of making considerable investments in the creation of deep data resources including: long-standing, deeply-phenotyped epidemiological cohorts, innovative clinical trials, and large-scale precision medicine efforts that have generated whole genome sequencing and "other omics" data for more than one-hundred thousand individuals. To provide challenge participants with streamlined access to data across NHLBI's numerous studies containing heart failure data, the NHLBI has created this dbGaP study collection. Data access for this collection is controlled by NHLBI's Data Access Committee. Challenge participants are required to follow the use restrictions and acknowledgement instructions from the original dataset(s). Please note that the data in this collection are not harmonized across studies or otherwise altered from the original study. The NHLBI Big Data Analysis Challenge: Heart Failure Data Collection contains all NHLBI studies currently in dbGaP that contain data that may be relevant to research on heart failure. The studies in this collection are approved for General Research Use (GRU), Health/Medical/Biomedical Use (HMB), or Disease-Specific Use (DS) that permits research on heart failure. These studies span a variety of study designs, inclusion and exclusion criteria, sample sizes, and provide a wide breadth and depth of phenotype data on study participants. The available genomic data in these studies also varies, including genotyping arrays, sequencing (targeted, exome, whole genome), and additional -omic data (e.g., RNA or metabolite profiles). Please refer to each study's individual accession page to learn more about how study data were collected. Challenge participants are reminded that in addition to dbGaP, NHLBI's Biologic Specimen and Data Repository Information Coordinating Center (BioLINCC) contains other studies that have collected data relevant to heart failure and may wish to utilize BioLINCC data in the development of their Solution. Please refer to the individual accession page for each study in this collection to learn more about the history of each study.

• Metastatic Adult Pancreatoblastoma: Multimodal Treatment and Molecular Characterization of a Very Rare Disease (NCT MASTER)

  Pancreatoblastoma is a rare malignant tumor that occurs predominantly in children. We identified four adult patients with metastasizing pancreatoblastoma at a high-volume German university cancer center which were treated with multimodal therapies between 2013 and 2018. In three cases, we performed a comprehensive molecular analysis that included whole-genome sequencing (WGS) or whole-exome sequencing (WES); transcriptome sequencing was performed in two cases, respectively. Subsequent recommendations of molecularly stratified treatment options were discussed within a dedicated molecular tumor board (MTB) embedded in a precision oncology program (NCT MASTER).

• International Verapamil SR/Trandolapril [INVEST] Genes Study

  INternational VErapamil SR-Trandolapril STudy (INVEST) was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-clinical trial that evaluated blood pressure response and adverse outcomes in patients randomized to either an atenolol-based or a verapamil SR-based hypertension treatment strategy in 22,576 patients with documented coronary artery disease and hypertension (PMID: 9809930,14657064). Hydrochlorothiazide and trandolapril were added as needed to achieve BP control or end organ protection in a protocol-defined manner. Briefly, the protocol required patients to be followed up at bassline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 weeks and then every 6 months thereafter until 2 years after the last patient was enrolled. At each visit, patients had BP and heart rate measured, clinical assessment performed, and additional antihypertensive medications added as needed to meet JNC VI blood pressure goals. The primary outcome was the first occurrence of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), or nonfatal stroke (clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT00133692). The genetic substudy of INVEST, INVEST-GENES, collected genomic DNA samples from 5,979 INVEST study participants. INVEST-GENES samples were genotyped on the Illumina OmniExpressExome GWAS chip. This data release includes 1529 samples that passed quality control including 657 whites, 537 Hispanics and 155 blacks. Two case-control subsets were created: one for the primary outcome of all-cause death, nonfatal MI or nonfatal stroke; the other one is for new-onset diabetes. Resistant hypertension was also evaluated in 1349 participants based on the medication use and blood pressure measurements at the visit prior to experiencing study outcomes or censoring (PMID:30237584).

  To elucidate the regulation of gene expression in immune cell subsets and its contribution to autoimmune diseases, Whole blood and various immune cell subsets from 119 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), 65 Dermatomyositis & Polymyositis, 67 Systemic Sclerosis, 19 Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, 18 Sjogren's syndrome, 24 Rheumatoid Arthritis, 23 Behcet's disease, 18 Adult Onset Still���s Disease, 25 ANCA-associated Vasculitis, 16 Takayasu���s Arteritis and 141 healthy controls (C) were collected (Naive_CD4, Mem_CD4, Fr._I_nTreg, Fr._II_eTreg, Fr._III_T, Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh, NK, Naive_CD8, Mem_CD8, EM_CD8, CM_CD8, TEMRA_CD8, Naive_B, USM_B, SM_B, DN_B, Plasmablast, CL_Mono (or CD16n_Mono), CD16p_Mono, Int_Mono, NC_Mono, mDC, pDC, LDG, Neu). Whole genome sequencing was performed with whole blood samples. RNA-seq was performed with each immune cell subset samples. After filtering and normalization of the gene expression data, eQTL analysis was performed in each immune cell type. 15 immune cell subsets ATAC-seq was also performed in 8 SLE and HCs, each.

• National Eye Institute (NEI) Exfoliation Genotyping Study

  The overall goal of our research is to elucidate the pathogenesis of exfoliation syndrome and the associated glaucoma, making it possible to implement effective screening and prevention strategies and to develop novel therapies. Cases genotyped for this project are from the Nurses Health Study (NHS), the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS), the Women's Genome Health Study (WGHS), the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI), Mayo Clinic, the University of Iowa, the University of Miami and Duke University Medical Center. Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is a common condition that is a major risk factor for high-tension open-angle glaucoma, pre-mature cataract formation, and increased risk of complications during cataract surgery. Previous studies suggest that exfoliation syndrome and the related glaucoma (XFG) are genetically complex, and one gene, LOXL1, has been identified as a major genetic risk factor. LOXL1 variants are found in up to 98% of affected patients; however, these same variants are also present in up to 80% of unaffected individuals, indicating that additional genetic and/or environmental factors are necessary for disease development. Samples genotyped for this study are a case set (1,096 samples) and 24 pedigrees (98 samples). Controls for association analyses are selected from the NEIGHBORHOOD study.

• Multiple migrations to the Philippines during the last 50,000 years

  A key link to understand human history in Island Southeast Asia is the Philippine archipelago and its poorly investigated genetic diversity. We collected and analyzed the most comprehensive set of population-genomic data for the Philippines, 1028 individuals covering 115 indigenous communities. We demonstrate that the Philippines were populated by at least five waves of human migration. The Cordillerans migrated into the Philippines prior to the arrival of rice agriculture, where some remain to be the least admixed East Asians carrying an ancestry shared by all Austronesian-speaking populations; thereby challenging an exclusive Out-of-Taiwan model of joint farming-language-people dispersal. Altogether, our findings portray Philippines as a crucial gateway, with a multilayered history, that ultimately changed the genetic landscape of the Asia-Pacific region.

• Clinical Outcomes of 344 Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma patients

  This study examines clinical outcomes of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We analyzed a cohort of 344 patients from the German High-Grade Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Study Group (DSHNHL). To protect patient confidentiality, all samples were pseudonymized. The dataset includes clinical key characteristics, such as patient age at diagnosis, sex, ECOG performance status, disease stage, serum lactate dehydrogenase levels, bulky disease, bone marrow involvement, extranodal involvement, and B-symptoms. We used these data alongside proteomic and transcriptomic profiles to explore relationships between clinical features and molecular signatures, reconstructing regulatory networks. Insights from this integrative analysis aim to identify key pathological drivers and biomarkers of DLBCL progression, ultimately informing improved risk stratification and targeted therapeutic approaches.
