• CpG methylation changes associated with hyperglycemia in type 1 diabetes occur at angiogenic glomerular and retinal gene loci.

  Retinal and glomerular microangiopathy, and cardiovascular disease, contribute to the morbidity and mortality observed in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). While the level and duration of hyperglycemia are primary factors influencing these complications, the underlying molecular mechanisms behind glucose-induced organ damage remain poorly understood. In this study, blood samples from young T1D patients at diagnosis and three years later in average were analyzed for DNA methylation using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing. Significant DNA methylation changes in critical angiogenic gene loci were associated with HbA1c, a direct hallmark of chronic hyperglycemia. This finding may offer novel epigenetic insights for a better understanding of T1D complications.

• Single-cell RNA sequencing of pediatric Hodgkin Lymphoma to study the inhibition of T cell subtypes

  Here, we applied single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) on isolated HRS cells and the immune cells from the same cHL tumors. This allowed us to identify genes of cell surface proteins that are consistently overexpressed in HRS cells and can potentially be used as targets for antibody-drug conjugates or CAR T cells. Finally, we identify potential interactions by which HRS cells inhibit T cells, among which the Galectin-1/CD69 and HLA-DRA/LAG3 interactions. However, high levels of inter-patient heterogeneity of the interaction strength were observed. In conclusion, this study identifies new potential therapeutic targets for cHL and highlights the importance of studying heterogeneity when identifying therapy targets.

• Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma case report

  Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a mesenchymal malignancy phenocopying muscle and is among the leading causes of death from childhood cancer. Metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is the most aggressive subtype with an 8% five-year disease-free survival rate when a chromosomal fusion is present, and 40% five-year disease-free survival rate when negative for a fusion event. The underlying biology of PAX-fusion negative alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma remains largely unexplored and is exceedingly rare in Li-Fraumeni syndrome patients. Here, we present the case of an 11-year old male with fusion-negative alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma studied at end of life with a comprehensive functional genomics characterization, resulting in identification of potential therapeutic targets for broader investigation.

• Transcriptomic analysis of cell-of-origin CNS neuroblastoma, FOXR2 activated

  The transcription factor FOXR2 is the universal driver of childhood central nervous system neuroblastoma, FOXR2 activated (NB-FOXR2). NB-FOXR2 tumors arise exclusively in the brain hemispheres, and despite morphological similarities to other pediatric brain tumors, they are a molecularly distinct entity based on DNA methylation profiling. The cell-of-origin is unknown. Here, we profiled a cohort of rare NB-FOXR2 tumors by bulk and single-cell transcriptomics. Through systematic comparative analyses, we delineate tumor transcriptional states and candidate cell-of-origin. More broadly, we demonstrate systematic molecular profiling of childhood cancers to orient oncogenic targeting for in vivo modeling, a critical resource for the study of rare tumors and development of therapeutics.

• RNA-sequencing from duodenal bipsies of Celiac disease patients

  Samples, in a form of PAXgene fixed and paraffin-embedded biopsies, were collected from the multi-site, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, aimed at dose-finding and assessing the efficacy and tolerability of a 6-week treatment with ZED1227 capsules vs. placebo in subjects with well-controlled celiac disease undergoing gluten challenge. Total RNA was extracted from the PaxFPE biopsy specimens (n = 116) using additional cuttings from the samples on which histomorphometry was previously assessed. For the extraction, an RNeasy Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) was used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Library preparation and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were performed by the Qiagen NGS Service. A total of 10 ng of purified RNA was converted into cDNA NGS libraries. Library preparation was quality controlled using capillary electrophoresis. Based on the quality of the inserts and the concentration measurements, the libraries were pooled in equimolar ratios and then sequenced on a NextSeq (Illumina Inc., San Diego, USA) sequencing instrument according to the manufacturer’s instructions, with 100 bp read length for read 1 and 27bp for read 2. The raw data were de-multiplexed, and FASTQ files for each sample were generated using bcl2fastq2 software (Illumina Inc., San Diego, USA).

• scRNA-seq of HSPC treated with gemcitabine and carboplatin

  4 samples of 2000000 HSPCs in 2 ml media each were then prepared and treated for 24 hours: carboplatin-high: 150 µg/ml carboplatin carboplatin-low: 18.75 µg/ml carboplatin gemcitabine: 25 ng/ml gemcitabine control: no drug Single-cells were subsequently extracted using the ddSEQ™ Single-Cell Isolator (Bio-Rad) and later sequenced using the SureCell™ Whole Transcriptome Analysis 3' Library Prep Kit (Illumina) on the NextSeq 500 System (Illumina) using the NextSeq 500/550 High Output Kit v2.5 150 Cycles (Illumina) all following the manufacturer's instructions. The raw FASTQ-files are available as read 1 and read 2 files from 4 lanes for each sample giving a total of 16 FASTQ-files. The FASTQ-files were also processed following the ddSeeker (Romagnoli, D., et al., BMC Genomics 2018, doi:10.1186/s12864-018-5249-x) and Drop-seq (Macosko, E.Z., et al., Cell 2015, doi:10.1016/j.cell.2015.05.002) protocols for processing scRNA-seq data to yield the final digital gene expression (dge) for each cell of each sample. This has resulted in one dge text file and one dge summary text file per sample. These 8 text-files with dge data are found in the zip-compressed analysis data-file.

• RNA-seq study of human long-term and short-term hematopoietic stem cells from umblical cord blood with lentiviral overexpression of S1PR3

  To investigate the molecular and biological pathways altered by S1PR3OE in human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), we performed RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of LT- and ST-HSC 3 days after transduction with control or S1PR3 overexpression (OE) lentiviral vectors. LT-HSC and ST-HSC from 3 pool of CB lin- were FACS-purified, cells were prestimulated for 4 hours and transduced with lentiviral vectors. At day 3, 2000-5300 BFP+ cells were FACS-purified for RNA isolation with a PicoPure kit. We were able to isolate only 1600-1800 BFP+ cells from LT-HSC control samples as opposed to 4000-5400 BFP+ cells from S1PR3OE samples. Thus, we pooled all control BFP+ LT-HSC cells into one sample for RNA-seq analysis. BFP- LT-HSC from control vector transduction were purified from CB1 as an additional LT-HSC control. Nextera libraries generated from 10 ng RNA from 5 LT-HSC samples (2 controls, 3 S1PR3OE) and 6 ST-HSC samples (3 controls, 3 S1PR3OE) were subjected to 125 bp, paired-end RNA-sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 with an average of 50 million reads/sample at the Center for Applied Genomics, Sick Kids Hospital.

• Method to Assess Lung Water Accumulation During Exercise

  The goal of this non-significant risk medical device study is to test the initial technical feasibility of a 0.55T MRI in healthy volunteers by technical optimization of scanner protocols, and to test accuracy of standard MR measurements in adult patients with known stable disease. Exercise-induced lung water is a key feature in heart failure. Dynamic quantitative lung water imaging during exercise stress is therefore of interest to unmask latent heart failure. We developed a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method using a proton density weighted ultrashort echo time MRI sequence along with a time-resolved and respiratory motion compensated image reconstruction for exercise lung water imaging. We validated our method in a porcine model of dynamic lung water accumulation (n=5), and tested its feasibility for use in humans using 12 healthy subjects, 1 patient with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and 1 patient with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Data suggest the novel imaging method is capable of dynamically imaging lung water accumulation during exercise stress. Reference 1 (PMID: 37288601) contains the main results for this study.

• A Study of the Genetic Causes of Complex Pediatric Disorders

  The Center for Applied Genomics (CAG) at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is a high-throughput, highly automated genotyping and sequencing facility equipped with state-of-the-art genotyping and sequencing platforms. Children who are treated at the Children's Hospital Healthcare Network and their parents may be eligible to take part in a major initiative to collect more than 100,000 blood samples, covering a wide range of pediatric diseases. A large majority of participants consenting to prospective genomic analyses also consent to analysis of their de-identified electronic medical records (EMRs). EMRs are longitudinal, with a mean duration of 6.5 years. CAG has committed to releasing genotype and phenotype data for 4000 individuals diagnosed with asthma, ADHD, atopic dermatitis, GERD (1000 for each), and 1000 individuals on the upper and lower ranges of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) levels to dbGaP. We will also release genotype/phenotype of 3000 controls. Relevant phenotype data includes primary diagnoses (ICD9 codes), secondary diagnoses (ICD9 codes), medical procedures/tests conducted in relation to the phenotype, and a listing of relevant medications. Further details of CAG's research programs and capacity are available at: http://www.caglab.org

• Next Generation Mendelian Genetics: Neonatal Diabetes

  The NHGRI Next Generation Mendelian Genetics project uses exome resequencing to identify variants in unsolved Mendelian diseases. Neonatal diabetes mellitus (ND) is a rare form of monogenic diabetes (90,000-260,000 live births) that is diagnosed in the first 6 months of life. The disease has been classified as transient or permanent and although it can be inherited, more frequently is sporadic as a result of 'de novo' mutations. Defects in 12 genes have been found as responsible for the disease (defects in the paternally imprinted chromosomal region 6q24, IPF1, SLCA2A, INS, EIF2AK3, GCK, FOXP3, GLIS3, PTF1A, HNF1Beta, KCNJ11 and ABCC8). The two subunits of the ATP-sensitive K channel (ABCC8 and KCNJ11) and the insulin gene (INS), account for almost half of the cases and similar to CHI, the other half, remains genetically unexplained. We became part of this study when we submitted 4 DNA samples for exome sequencing, from patients with NDM of Caucasian ancestry, which had no mutations identified in ABCC8 or KCNJ1, with the goal to identify new mutations in known genes or new mutations or genetic variants in new genes.

• SNPs and Extent of Atherosclerosis (SEA) Study

  The SEA study is a genome-wide association study to identify genetic variants associated with premature atherosclerosis in subjects included in the Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth (PDAY) repository - a unique NHLBI resource including data, DNA and arterial specimens from over 3000 multi-ethnic subjects 15-34 years of age who died of non-atherosclerotic causes (mostly trauma). All PDAY subjects had post-mortem quantitative assessment of raised atherosclerotic lesions in their aorta and coronary arteries - making this the largest and most carefully phenotyped cohort for premature atherosclerosis in the world. The goal of the current project was to use the quantitative measure of raised atherosclerotic lesions in the PDAY cohort as the target phenotype for a genome-wide association study and to use quantitative measures of subclinical atherosclerosis (coronary calcium and carotid IMT) in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) to confirm or refute candidate loci identified from the PDAY analysis. Identifying genetic factors that predispose individuals to premature atherosclerosis could lead to more effective screening and early treatment of high risk individuals and suggest novel molecular targets for treatment and prevention interventions.

• Urethral Microbiome of Adolescent Males

  Urethral microbiome of adolescent males is designed to characterize the microbial communities resident in the urethra of young men, to identify differences in these communities as a function of race/ethnicity, circumcision status, sexual exposures, and uro-genital symptoms. We collect detailed sexual behavior and symptoms data using cellular telephones with Internet access. Specimens are routinely collected at monthly intervals, and intermittently following reported symptoms, specific sexual exposures, or identification of a sexually transmitted infection. We also collect periodic samples from the penile coronal sulcus to better characterize its relationship to the urethral micriobial communities. Participants are ages 14 - 17 at enrollment, and prior history of sexual exposure is not required for participation. Parental permission is obtained for each participant. The planned duration of followup is up to 4 years allowing for prospective observation of both physical and behavioral maturation from middle adolescence into young adulthood. The overall objectives of the project are to better characterize the healthy male urethral microbiome, and to use this information to better understand acquisition of urethritis and sexually transmitted infections, as well as chronic genital pain and prostatitis syndromes that become common among young adults.

• Genome-Wide Discovery of Novel Breast Cancer Predisposing Mutations

  Cancer risk shows clear heritability, but the inherited genetic factors remain largely unknown. This project will seek to identify new genes in which mutations confer hereditary risk for early onset breast cancer, with important implications for both biological understanding and clinical prediction and prevention. Identifying cancer predisposing mutations can provide new biological insights and significantly impact important clinical decision making regarding treatment, surveillance and preventive approaches. Examples include the BRCA1 breast cancer susceptibility gene, which affects treatment decisions (surgical management), surveillance (frequent breast MRI) and prevention (oophorectory for prevention of ovarian cancer). Hereditary early onset breast cancer patients commonly present to Cancer Genetics clinics, but the majority of these patients do not have identifiable mutations in known candidate genes. Here, we will perform whole exome sequencing to discover novel cancer susceptibility genes. The patients have been recruited from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (PIs Kenneth Offit and Zsofia Stadler) and Massachusetts General Hospital (PI Daniel Haber). All exome sequencing was performed at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT; samples sequence capture was performed using Agilent SureSelect Human All Exon Kit v2 and sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 or 2500.

• Extracorporeal Life Support Survival in a Pediatric Hematopoietic Cellular Transplant Recipient with Presumed Graft Versus Host Disease-Related Fulminant Myocarditis

  We report the case of a 15-year-old female with hypodiploid pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia status post allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) from a matched unrelated male donor who presented on transplant day +75 with cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation associated with fulminant myocarditis. Using conventional diagnostics, an exhaustive search for microbial pathogens in the heart biopsy as well as nasopharynx, blood, urine, and endotracheal aspirate was performed but did not uncover a candidate pathogen. The family consented to a research study for the use of unbiased next-generation genomic sequencing for pathogen identification in the myocardial biopsy. DNA sequencing was performed on 1.5 x 108 sequencing pairs and no microbial pathogens were identified. Interestingly, a significant component of Y-chromosomal human DNA was identified, suggesting infiltration of at least 10 donor leukocytes per host cell. This finding is grossly consistent with the lymphocyte:myocyte ratio in the biopsy according to visual inspection at 40x magnification. This case merits discussion due to (1) her survival after 17 days of veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (ECLS) and (2) the possibility of cardiotropic graft versus host disease (GVHD).

• Whole Exome and Targeted Sequencing in Tourette Syndrome Multiplex Families

  This study consists of 771 individuals from 15 extended, multi-generational Tourette Syndrome (TS) pedigrees collected by the Tourette Syndrome Association International Consortium for Genetics (TSAICG), 213 of whom are affected either with TS or its broader, genetically related phenotype, chronic tic disorder (CT). Prior microsatellite linkage analysis, including 624 individuals from these families, has identified a genome-wide significant TS/CT susceptibility locus on chromosome 2p21-24 with two additional loci meeting criteria for suggestive linkage on chromosomes 6p12-21 and 17p11-q11. Subsequent joint linkage and association analysis, incorporating genome-wide SNP genotyping on the Illumina Hap610 platform from 221 individuals, has strengthened the evidence for a major TS/CT locus on chromosome 2p but did not refine the locus further. In addition, haplotype analyses suggest that multiple TS/CT loci may exist on the short arm of chromosome 2. The goal of the current sequencing study is to use exon-focused sequencing, supplemented with targeted sequencing of additional known functional elements on chromosome 2p, to identify susceptibility variants contributing to the highly penetrant TS/CT phenotype in these families.

• CIDR Whole Exome Sequencing in Joubert Syndrome

  The purpose of this study is to identify new genetic causes of neurodevelopmental diseases (NDDs) in the Joubert syndrome (JS) spectrum. Joubert syndrome is a recessive disease characterized by cerebellar vermis hypoplasia. Our currently funded NINDS award entitled "Molecular characterization of Joubert syndrome" seeks to identify new genetic causes through a variety of molecular strategies. Although our previous strategies involved whole genome SNP-scans, followed by candidate gene sequencing to arrive at identification of new JS causes, we have recently moved to Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) as a highly efficient methodology that is optimized for recessive disease. In this pilot project, CIDR has sequenced DNA on probands from 20 inbred families with JS spectrum disorders in which known causes have been excluded, that have not previously undergone genome-wide SNP scans. These paired end reads will be subject to our established bioinformatics pipeline including HOMOZGYOSITY, SNP and INDEL callers in our lab to identify potentially deleterious sequence changes (PDSC). This is followed by analysis to include testing each PDSC for segregation in the whole pedigree, for occurrence in a ethnically-matched cohort, as well as a defined patient cohort patients, in order to validate new NDD genes.

• Pharmacogenomic Interactions in Glioblastoma Cell Line Models

  Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal disease without effective treatments. To advance toward effective therapeutic approaches that are biomarker-driven, there is a need for new targeted agents and to develop accurate preclinical models that encompass its cellular and molecular diversity. Historical cell line models poorly represent molecular diversity of GBMs, so we developed a living tissue bank encompassing 103 patient-derived GBM cell lines (PDGCLs) as a platform for preclinical pharmacogenomic investigation at scale. Thirty-four PDGCLs were submitted to a comprehensive molecular characterization of copy number alterations and mutations using whole exome sequencing (WES) and gene expression (microarrays), and tested against a panel of 390 small molecules at sixteen different duplicated concentrations. After integrating and systematically correlating molecular alterations with drug sensitivities, we yielded 8,083,140 pharmacogenomic interactions, and discovered novel drug and biomarker combinations which help to prioritize highly effective novel candidate treatments in GBM. Our findings demonstrate the utility of deep characterization of large numbers of models from a single disease to detect complex predictors of compound sensitivity, and indicate novel therapeutic approaches for a large fraction of patients with GBM.

• Genomics of Circulating Tumor Cells

  Comprehensive analyses of cancer genomes in clinical settings promise to inform prognoses and guide the deployment of precise cancer treatments. A major barrier, however, is the inaccessibility of adequate metastatic tissue for accurate genomic analysis in prostate and other cancers. A potential solution is to characterize circulating tumor cells (CTCs), but this requires overcoming multiple technical hurdles. Here, we report an integrated process to isolate, qualify, and sequence whole exomes of CTCs with high fidelity, using a census-based sequencing strategy. Power calculations suggest that mapping of over 99.995% of the territory accessible in bulk exome sequencing is possible in CTCs. We validated our sequencing process in two prostate cancer patients including one for whom we compared CTC-derived mutations to mutations found in a lymph node metastasis and nine cores of the primary tumor. 51 of 73 CTC mutations (70%) were observed in matched tissue. Moreover, we identified 10 early trunk mutations and 56 metastatic trunk mutations in the non-CTC tumor samples and found 90% and 73% of these, respectively, in CTC exomes. This study establishes a foundation for CTC genomics in the clinic.

• A Genome-Wide Association Study on Cataract and HDL in the Personalized Medicine Research Project Cohort

  The primary goals of this project are to develop and validate electronic phenotyping algorithms, to accurately identify cases and controls while maintaining a positive predictive value (PPV) of >95%, and to conduct a genome wide association study that advances understanding of two specific yet interrelated disease states, while simultaneously engaging the community in these research efforts. Lipid abnormalities and cataracts are both diseases of public health significance, they share common risk factors, and they are both complex diseases which likely have many genes contributing to disease development. Whole genome association studies with these two outcomes and environmental risk factors could yield novel data about the etiology of the two separate outcomes as well as their interaction. PhenX is a project designed to prioritize Phenotypes and eXposure measures for Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS). The PhenX Toolkit is a valuable resource for researchers who are planning or expanding a study and would like to incorporate well established measures that have been recommended by experts in the field. We are currently interested in gene-environment interactions for "age related cataract".

• Resistance Development in Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome through the Basal to Squamous Transition

  While basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) arise from ectopic hedgehog pathway activation and can be treated with pathway inhibitors, sporadic BCCs display high resistance rates, while tumors arising in Gorlin syndrome patients with germline Patched (PTCH1) mutations are uniformly suppressed by inhibitor therapy. In rare cases, Gorlin syndrome patients on long-term inhibitor therapy will develop individual resistant tumor clones that rapidly progress, but the basis of this resistance remains unstudied. Here we report a case of a Smoothened inhibitor (SMOi)-resistant tumor arising in a Gorlin patient on suppressive SMOi for nearly a decade. Using a combination of multi-omics and spatial transcriptomics, we define the tumor populations at the cellular and tissue level to conclude that Gorlin tumors can develop resistance to SMOi through the previously described basal to squamous cell carcinoma transition (BST). Intriguingly, through spatial whole exome genomic analysis, we nominate PCYT2, ETNK1, and the phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthetic pathway as novel genetic suppressors of BST resistance. These observations provide a general framework for studying tumor evolution and provide important clinical insight into mechanisms of resistance to SMOi for not only Gorlin syndrome but sporadic BCCs as well.

• Genomic Analysis of Prostate Tumor Heterogeneity in Metastasis

  To investigate the molecular changes, mutations, and signaling pathways that characterize the initial steps of prostate cancer metastasis to the lymph nodes, we analyzed 19 discrete lymph node (LN) metastases, 97 primary tumor foci, 39 benign lymph nodes, and 10 normal adjacent prostate tissue samples from 43 patients enrolled in a clinical trial (NCT01808222) of extended lymphadenectomy and metastasis excision guided by [18F]-fluciclovine PET imaging for high risk, newly diagnosed prostate cancer conducted at Emory University. These patients fell within high or very high-risk groups (T3a, Gleason score 8-10, or PSA greater than 20 ng/ml). Of these patients, 16 had LN metastases at least 4 mm in diameter, and 20 patients had no metastases. For metastatic patients, we performed RNA and Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) on three primary tumor foci, one benign LN, and all LN metastases greater than 4mm in diameter. For non-metastatic patients, we sequenced two primary tumor foci and one benign LN. In total, RNAseq was performed on 165 tissue samples from 43 patients, and WES was performed on 137 samples from 35 patients.
