• The PUWMa (

  The PUWMa GWAS of ADHD is a multi-site collaboration initiated to conduct a family-based association study from existing research samples. The source sample of ADHD families was ascertained at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH, N=309 trios), Washington University at St. Louis (WASH-U, N=272 trios), and University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA, N=156 trios). All offspring met criteria for DSM-IV-TR attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder with childhood onset.

• Prospective Procurement of Solid Tumor Tissue to Identify Novel Therapeutic Targets

  Recent advances and insights into the molecular pathogenesis of cancer have led to the development of novel molecular and biologic targeted therapies for the treatment of advanced cancer patients. A critical challenge in extending these studies involves the identification and validation of new therapeutic targets for future cancer therapies. In this study, we performed whole exome and RNA-Seq analysis metastases to determine the nature and frequency of somatic mutations.

• Discovery, Biology, and Risk of Inherited Variants in Breast Cancer (DRIVE) - germline whole genome sequencing

  This study consists of whole genome sequencing (target: average 30x coverage) of 110 European-ancestry (EA), early-onset, family-history-positive breast cancer cases, 21 Asian cases, 25 African-American cases, and 24 controls from six studies participating in the Discovery, Biology, and Risk of Inherited Variants in Breast Cancer (DRIVE) consortium, part of the NCI's Genetic Associations and Mechanisms in Oncology (GAME-ON) initiative ( http://epi.grants.cancer.gov/gameon/ )

• Germline Sequencing for Aggressive Prostate Carcinoma

  This study aims to elucidate the genetic determinants of susceptibility to aggressive prostate carcinoma. To this end, germ line whole exome sequence has been generated from patients with aggressive prostate cancer. Whole genome sequence for a representative subset of tumors from patients whose cancer was resistant to primary therapy is included as well. This deep genomic interrogation will allow the identification of rare, functionally disruptive variants that may play a role in disease progession and response to treatment.

• Correlates of Human Nerve Repair

  This is a longitudinal prospective cohort study in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome undergoing decompression surgery. Phenotypic data and skin biopsies were collected before and 6 months after surgery to determine molecular and cellular correlates associated with neural regeneration and neuropathic pain. RNA sequencing was performed in the skin samples and differential gene expression was determined post compared to pre surgery. The molecular changes identified in skin were correlated with the clinical phenotype representing neural regeneration.

• Extracellular microRNA Biomarkers for Diagnostic and Prognostic Assessment of Preeclampsia at Triage

  This study is comprised of samples from 123 donors (71 cases and 52 controls) undergoing evaluation for preeclampsia. All samples were collected between 20 and 40 weeks of gestation. Small RNA sequencing was done on serum RNA obtained from donors. We were able to identify 3 bivariate extracellular miRNA biomarkers that can enable early diagnosis of preeclampsia. The raw fastq small-RNA sequencing fastq files will be submitted to dbGaP.

• Genome Sequencing of Familial Cholangiocarcinoma for the Identification of Germline Risk Alleles

  In this study, sequencing data (WES, WGS, linked-read WGS) was used to identify candidate causal germline variants in a family with inherited cholangiocarcinoma. Candidate causal SNVs and indels were identified from the germline WES data of eight siblings (four affected, four unaffected), then somatic second hits were identified from matched tumor/normal pairs. Second hits were verified using haplotype information derived from linked-read WGS of the tumor data.

• Genetics and Pathophysiology of Autoinflammatory Disorders

  In this study, patients with suspected disorders of inflammation and innate immune system dysregulation will undergo whole exome sequencing. This will involve both family studies (often trios or multiplex families including affected and unaffected individuals) and sporadic cases. The overall objective is to discover rare/novel high-penetrance mutations in genes that have not yet been implicated as the cause of monogenic autoinflammatory diseases. The aim also includes discovery of variants associated with inflammatory disease susceptibility.

• Neoadjuvant Pazopanib in Renal Cell Carcinoma

  This study examined the tissue of patients who received oral pazopanib prior to nephrectomy. Patients were consented and underwent a pre-treatment biopsy. Pretreatment samples for analysis were preserved as available. Subjects underwent a proscribed course of treatment with pazopanib. At the completion of treatment, subjects underwent a planned nephrectomy, and samples were collected from the nephrectomy specimen. We recorded response to treatment, adverse events, and 2 year follow up for recurrence.

• Breast Cancer Family Registry Early-onset Breast Cancer GWAS

  In order to enhance our understanding of the genetic etiology of breast cancer, this study analyzed 1,265,548 Hapmap3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) among a discovery set of 3,523 EOBC incident cases and 2,702 age-matched population control women, all of whom were age 50 or younger at enrollment. Subjects were recruited from the eight sites, some of which oversampled cases with a personal or family history of breast cancer.
