Original description of the study: From ELLIPSE (linked to the PRACTICAL consortium), we contributed ~78,000 SNPs to the OncoArray. A large fraction of the content was derived from the GWAS meta-analyses in European ancestry populations (overall and aggressive disease; ~27K SNPs). We also selected just over 10,000 SNPs from the meta-analyses in the non-European populations, with a majority of these SNPs coming from the analysis of overall prostate cancer in African ancestry populations as well as from the multiethnic meta-analysis. A substantial fraction of SNPs (~28,000) were also selected for fine-mapping of 53 loci not included in the common fine-mapping regions (tagging at r2>0.9 across ±500kb regions). We also selected a few thousand SNPs related with PSA levels and/or disease survival as well as SNPs from candidate lists provided by study collaborators, as well as from meta-analyses of exome SNP chip data from the Multiethnic Cohort and UK studies.

Source of cases: A total of 214 cases were identified in the VUMC de-identified electronic health records database (the Synthetic Derivative) and shipped to USC for genotyping in April 2014. The following criteria were used to identify cases: Age 18 or greater; male; African Americans (Black) only. Note that African ancestry is not self-identified, it is administratively or third-party assigned (which has been shown to be highly correlated with genetic ancestry for African Americans in BioVU; see references).

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.
Many pediatric patients with early-onset autoinflammatory disease (AID) phenotypes are mutation-negative for genetically known AIDs. Recent data suggest a role for Type-I interferon (IFN) dysregulation in causing AID phenotypes with clinical features that are distinct from those found in patients with IL-1 mediated AIDs. We screened patients for the presence of an IFN-response gene signature (IRS) to characterize their clinical phenotypes, IFN-related biomarkers, and genetic causes.
