• Microvascular Permeability, Inflammation, and Lesion Physiology in Endometriosis: A Microphysiological Systems Approach

  The goal of the study is to identify novel molecular pathways involved in the etiology of endometriosis and to develop in vitro model systems to enable the study of the mechanisms regulating reproductive function. Using a physiomimetic modeling approach, primary tissue samples of the human endometrium derived from patients diagnosed with and without endometriosis and/or endometriotic diseases (e.g. adenomyosis) were used for secondary analysis using multi-omic systems biology analysis and to build tissue engineered models. We performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq, N=6)) to study the cellular and transcriptomic composition of the endometrial tissue microenvironment and proteomics (LC-MS/MS) to study protein-level signaling pathways and the matrisome of the native endometrium. Systems biology analysis of these datasets helped identified a putative dysregulated inflammatory signaling pathway in endometriosis patients compared to controls. Moreover, subsets from these scRNA-Seq and proteomic datasets were used to aid the design of a synthetic extracellular matrix hydrogel as an in vitro platform for the culture of endometrial cells. Tissue-engineered synthetic PEG hydrogel enables the simultaneous co-culture of endometrial epithelial organoids and stromal fibroblasts in a fully defined, 3D, and tunable environment. We demonstrated that the in vitro co-culture model recapitulates key phenotypic processes observed across the human menstrual cycle in response to sex hormone stimulation through both biochemical and transcriptomic (bulk RNA-sequencing) analysis. This model will enable future mechanistic studies that examine origins of endometriotic disease phenotypes. The transcriptomic data generated for this study including the scRNA-Seq data from primary human endometrial tissues and the bulk RNA-Seq datasets from the experimental co-culture models is available through dbGAP.

• Research in Adaptive Interests, Skills, and Environment

  The Research on Adaptive Interest, Skills, and Environments (RAISE) project is a coordinated set of pilot studies funded and otherwise supported by the Center for the Study of Adolescent Risk and Resilience (C-StARR) at Duke University. The initial data collection effort (Adolescent T1; 2015; NAHDAP 100737) was conducted by telephone and focused on self-regulation and related skills during early adolescence and their role in early instances of health risk behavior. The survey was comprised of brief measures of constructs in six areas of interest to C-StARR investigators: (1) background and home environment; (2) self-regulation and personality; (3) physical and mental health; (4) problem behaviors; (5) academics and school; and (6) technology use. The representative sample of 2104 adolescents was drawn from the population of fifth through eighth graders enrolled in North Carolina public schools during the 2014-2015 school year.In 2016, a subsample of 395 participants from the Adolescent T1 survey (selected on the basis of having resided within 100 miles of study personnel hubs in Durham, North Carolina and Sylva, North Carolina) participated in an additional home visit study that involved the collection of biological data and measures of cognitive ability and executive functioning. The molecular data made available to dbGaP were obtained from saliva samples that were collected (a) in person from 377 of 395 home visit study participants and (b) by mail from 60 participants who had participated in the Adolescent T1 survey but had not participated in the home visit study. The resulting data file was imputed to a 1000G phase 3 panel and is comprised of N = 437 individuals and 7,193,135 markers after filtering. Data were filtered with MAF ≥ 0.01, HWE p-value > 10-6, and genotype rate > 95%.

• Genomic and Genetic Characterization of Prostate Tumors Treated with Neoadjuvant Intense Androgen Deprivation Therapy

  The purpose of this study was to develop better ways of detecting prostate cancer before and after pre-operative treatment, and to test the feasibility of multi parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) for the localization and detection of focal prostate cancer both before and after pre-operative treatment with ADT and enzalutamide. In this study, patients with intermediate and high risk prostate cancer received six months of neoadjuvant intense androgen deprivation therapy prior to radical prostatectomy. Biopsies were acquired prior to treatment. Tissue from biopsy and radical prostatectomy were subjected to sequencing and analysis for determination of features associated with response or resistance to treatment.

• GWAS in Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease

  This study was a case-control genome-wide association study of 1616 non-Hispanic white cases and 4683 controls. Under an additive model for the minor allele at each SNP, we identified 19 SNPs, representing 7 chromosomal locations (5p15, 6p24, 7q22, 11p15, 15q14-15, 17q21, and 19p13), with genome-wide significant (P < 5x10-8) associations using the discovery samples included in this submission. We genotyped the 19 genome-wide significant SNPs in addition to 178 SNPs with 5x10-8 < P-value <.0001 and found 4 additional loci (3q26, 4q22, 10q24, and13q34) with genome-wide significant SNPs in the meta-analysis.

• Linked Read Sequencing of Gastric Cancer Metastases for Complex SV Resolution

  In this study, linked read sequencing was performed on two ovarian metastases and matched normal tissue, from a patient with primary diffuse gastric cancer. Linked read sequencing is a DNA preparation technology whereby high molecular weight molecules of DNA are uniquely barcoded prior to fragmentation and sequencing, thus retaining information about genomic contiguity. This study performed an extended analysis of linked read sequencing data to resolve the complex structures of structural variants in the cancer genomes. Complex structural rearrangements were identified in the genomic region surrounding the known oncogene FGFR2, and the association between FGFR2 and gastric cancer metastasis was demonstrated in an organoid model.

• Whole Exome Characterization of Squamous Cell Lung Cancers (Lung SQCC) from Appalachian Kentucky (APPKY)

  This is a pilot study of squamous cell lung cancer and matched normal tissue pairs collected (convenience sample) from patients from Central Appalachia, in Southeastern Kentucky. This study performed whole exome sequencing on tumor and matched normal DNA samples from 51 lung squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC) subjects from Appalachian Kentucky (AppKY). Somatic genomic alteration profiles were compared between the AppKY and TCGA SQCC cohorts. We found that IDH1 and PCMTD1 had higher mutation rates in AppKY versus TCGA. These findings suggest population differences in the genetics of lung SQCC between AppKY and US populations that have implications for personalized treatment for this disease.

• Mechanisms of Chemotherapy Resistance in T-ALL

  The goals of this study are to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying leukemic transformation and chemotherapy resistance in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Towards this end, a cohort of T-ALL lymphoblast specimens was collected at the time of initial T-ALL diagnosis (prior to the start of therapy) from children enrolled on contemporary clinical trials, Children's Oncology Group study AALL0434 and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute 05-001. Samples were analyzed using targeted exon sequencing and RNA sequencing analysis. Results of these analyses form the basis of studies that have been submitted for publication, and will be linked to this entry once published.

• DNA Methylation age and mortality in the Lothian Birth Cohorts of 1921 and 1936

  The study examined the association between DNA methylation age and mortality. Methylation age was estimated in 4 cohorts (including the Lothian Birth Cohorts of 1921 and 1936) and related to subsequent time-to-death. Across all four cohorts there was a strong correlation between predicted methylation age and chronological age. For individuals with a 5 year age acceleration (DNA methylation age - chronological age = 5), there was a meta analysed hazard ratio of mortality of 1.21 [1.14, 1.29]. Phenotype data associated with the study are available through dbGaP, the methylation raw data are available through the European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA; accession number EGAS00001000910).

• STAMPEED: Myocardial Infarction Genetics Consortium (MIGen)

  Myocardial infarction (MI) is a common complex disease and the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The genetic basis of this disease is largely unknown. It has been thought that early-onset MI events would have a substantially greater heritability, thus making DNA collections with younger individuals desirable. More recently, genome-wide association studies have become feasible through the development of whole genome arrays and a large catalogue of common variants reported in the International HapMap database. This study aims to use Affymetrix genotyping platform to do a whole genome scan in 3000 early-onset MI cases and 3000 matched controls from 6 study collection sites.
