• Immune Dysregulation in Human Subjects with Heterozygous Germline Mutations in

  We identified germline heterozygous mutations in CTLA4 in members of four families with severe immune dysregulation. Human CTLA4 haploinsufficiency caused dysregulation of FoxP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells and lymphocytic infiltration of target organs, mimicking Ctla4 homozygous mice. Patients also exhibited a B cell phenotype, with progressive loss of B cells and accumulation of autoreactive CD21lo B cells. This study demonstrates a critical quantitative role for CTLA-4 in human immune homeostasis.

• Airway Epithelial Cell Culture RNA Expression

  This study seeks to characterize airway epithelial mRNA and miRNA expression under a variety of experimental conditions. Samples are available from primary human cell cultures as well as cell lines grown under a variety of experimental conditions as documented in the phenotype and conditions associated with each individual sample. For some experiments, cells on plastic were exposed to cigarette smoke condensate to evaluate the effects of smoking. FOSL1 is a target gene for regulation by MIR34A family microRNAs.

• Genetic Analysis of Syndromic Orofacial Clefting

  The goal of this study is to identify previously unknown genetic causes of human syndromic cleft lip/palate by using genome sequencing. Many previous studies have shown that isolated cleft lip and/or palate are not often likely to be monogenic or Mendelian diseases. We hope that by focusing on syndromic presentations, we will find novel causes of disorders which include orofacial clefting among their phenotype(s). Data provided will be fastq files from sequencing partners.

• Blood Gene Signatures Associated with Stiffness After TKA

  In this study, we used PAXgene Blood RNA tubes collected from patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis. Samples were collected with IRB approval and patient consent. We identified 8 patients with knee stiffness after TKA (cases) and 10 patients without post-TKA stiffness (controls). We isolated RNA from cases and controls for RNA-seq analyses, comparing samples collected the day of surgery and samples collected at 24 hours after surgery.

• Epigenetic Damage in Women Living in LA Food-Desert Zip Codes

  This study investigated the impact of insulin resistance on chromatin acetylation and inflammation. Blood samples were obtained from women consented to City of Hope Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved COH Protocol#/Ref#:18306/158149. Women provided demographic information and completed a survey assessing diet, housing and medical history. BMI was obtained from medical records. HgbA1c was measured and cytokine arrays were used to measure serum TNFalpha, IL6, IL15, IL16, IL23, Leptin, and CXCL1.

• High-Fidelity, Large-Scale Targeted Profiling of Microsatellites

  This study developed a novel method of targeted sequencing of microsatellites. We optimized every aspect of targeted hybridization capture geared towards minimizing artifacts that commonly occur in laboratory manipulation of microsatellite-containing DNA. This achieved a higher fidelity for microsatellite sequencing than standard targeted DNA sequencing. In the accompanying manuscript, we also introduce two computational tools for design of targeted microsatellite capture panels and for analyzing the resulting microsatellite sequencing data.

• Single cell and spatial transcriptomics of adult human adrenal glands

  Adrenal glands are endocrine organs secreting a variety of hormones, known to undergo tissue remodelling through constant cellular turnover. Here we employed single cell and spatial transcriptomics to investigate thoroughly adult human adrenals from 14 individuals with a focus on adrenocortical cell types and cell states. By including both male and female tissue donors of various ages, we extended the study to sexual dimorphic features of the adult gland.

• scRNA-seq of CD4+ T cells from blood and tumor of NSCLC patients

  This study explore the CD4+ T cells diversity in paired blood and tumor of 5 different NSCLC patients. After FACS-sorted of Tregs (DAPI- CD45+ CD4+ CD25hi CD127lo) and Tconvs (DAPI- CD45+ CD4+CD25lo CD127lo/hi), cells were mixed in equal proportion (fifty/fifty ratio) and processed with 10X Chromium (10X Genomics) gene expression kit (3 bloods and 2 tumors) or immunoprofiling kit (2 bloods and 3 tumors) and sequenced using Illumina platforms.

• Genomic profiles associated with response to immunotherapy in adolescent and young adult patients with melanoma

  The patterns of immune infiltration and treatment responses are unclear due to genomic and clinicopathological differences in AYA patients compared to those of older patients, and these patterns and differences may contribute to the lack of response to immunotherapy. This study fills the research gaps in understanding the molecular profiles of AYA melanoma and the key immunosuppressive signalling pathways contributing to tumour growth and resistance to immunotherapy

• HGG panel sequencing

  NGS panel sequencing of pediatric high-grade gliomas (HGG), including diffuse midline gliomas and hemispheric HGG. This is a population-based dataset from the Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto, Canada), of patients <18 years of age at diagnosis, and diagnosed between 2000-2022. The goal of the study was to define the genetic drivers in pediatric HGG, including the rates of different genetic drivers, such as H3 and BRAF mutations, in a single-site population based cohort.
