• IBD-dysplasia

  This data set concerns DNA copy number alterations and mutation data from 30 IBD-associated dysplastic lesions and 13 IBD-associated cancers. DNA was isolated from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material. Whole-genome shallow seq and Truseq amplicon cancer panel (Illumina) were used for detection of DNA copy number alterations and gene mutations, respectively.

• Spatial whole exome sequencing of metastatic melanoma

  We performed whole exome sequencing of 8 samples derived from a patient with metastatic melanoma. These represent six different regions of a metastatic melanoma biopsy that was treated with anti-PD-1 inhibitor, one pre-treatment biopsy that was treatment naive and one post-PD-1 inhibitor treated lesion. Exome sequencing data was generated using methods as previously described, including library preparation using the Agilent SureSelect XT Target Enrichment protocol (#5190-8646) prior to sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2000/2500 v3 system using 76bp paired-end reads. Raw sequencing data was then processed using Saturn V, the next generation sequencing data processing and analysis pipeline developed by the Department of Genomic Medicine at the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center.

• UK10K NEURO IMGSAC

  In the UK10K project we propose a series of complementary genetic approaches to find new low frequency/rare variants contributing to disease phenotypes. These will be based on obtaining the genome wide sequence of 4000 samples from the TwinsUK and ALSPAC cohorts (at 6x sequence coverage), and the exome sequence (protein coding regions and related conserved sequence) of 6000 samples selected for extreme phenotypes. Our studies will focus primarily on cardiovascular-related quantitative traits, obesity and related metabolic traits, neurodevelopmental disorders and a limited number of extreme clinical phenotypes that will provide proof-of-concept for future familial trait sequencing. We will analyse directly quantitative traits in the cohorts and the selected traits in the extreme samples, and also use imputation down to 0.1% allele frequency to extend the analyses to further sample sets with genome wide genotype data. In each case we will investigate indels and larger structural variants as well as SNPs, and use statistical methods that combine rare variants in a locus or pathway as well as single-variant approaches.The IMGSAC cohort is an international collection of families containing children ascertained for ASDs (autism spectrum disorders). The affected individuals are have been phenotyped, including using the ADI-R and ADOS instruments. Individuals with a past or current medical disorder of probable etiological significance or TSC have been excluded. Where possible, karyotyping has been performed on one affected individual per family to exclude Fragile X syndrome. Many of the samples have been genotyped, using the Affymetrix 10k and Illumina 1M platforms. All samples to be included in the current study are of UK origin.For further information on this cohort please contact Jeremy Parr (jeremy.parr@newcastle.ac.uk).

• Single_cell_measurements_to_characterise_B_cell_repopulation_in_SLE_after_rituximab_therapy__a_pilot_study

  Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterised by autoantibodies against DNA and nuclear proteins. Kidney involvement (lupus nephritis) is one of the most serious manifestations and is the leading determinant of long-term prognosis. Therapies targeting B cells (e.g. rituximab) are used in the treatment of severe lupus, including lupus nephritis. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that targets the CD20 surface protein on the surface of B cells. Following rituximab treatment, there is near complete depletion of B cells in peripheral blood. Peripheral blood B cells slowly return over a period of months. The speed of repopulation varies but typically B cells have returned to baseline levels between 9 and 12 months post rituximab therapy. Return of B cells may be associated with increased disease activity, but this is not always the case. For example, some patients remain in clinical remission for several years following one cycle of rituximab, despite B cell repopulation, whilst others relapse as soon as the B cell number reaches the normal range. The reasons for the different response remain unclear. The B cell subpopulations that return following B cell depleting therapy have been previously studied using flow cytometry but have never been characterised using single cell -omic technologies and thus no data on their molecular signatures are available. Previous studies have shown that naïve B cells were the predominant repopulating B-cells, indicating de novo production of B cells. Obtaining an integrated understanding of the molecular programs of these cells at the single cell level will enhance our ability to predict disease outcome, to identify patients with poorer B-cell drug responses, understand disease heterogeneity and design more effective B-cell targeted therapies approach.

• Transcriptome profiling of megakaryocytes and platelets: application to GP9- and IKZF5-related thrombocytopenia

  Platelets are anucleate cells produced in the bone marrow and derived from large progenitor cells called megakaryocytes (MKs). Platelets receive RNA transcripts from their progenitorial MKs during thrombopoiesis. However, the correspondence between platelet and MK transcriptomes is poorly understood, particularly in the context of germline mutations that cause platelet formation defects or thrombocytopenia. We have studied the effects of two such mutations on MK and platelet transcriptomes. We generated immortalized MK cell line (imMKCL)-based models of Bernard-Soulier syndrome and IKZF5-related thrombocytopenia. MKs derived from imMKCLs with either a homozygous deletion of GP9 (GP9-/-) or a heterozygous Y121F variant in IKZF5 (IKZF5WT/Y121F) exhibited reduced proplatelet formation (reductions of 96% and 57%, respectively). Platelets from patients with either GP9-/- or IKZF5WT/Y121F genotypes had broad transcriptomic dysregulation, suggesting that (pro)platelet formation defects due to mutations in glycoprotein receptor and transcription factor genes such as GP9 and IKZF5 affect the trafficking of transcripts from MKs into platelets. RNA-seq data from MKs at four stages of differentiation revealed widespread but distinct changes in expression over time between the GP9-/- and the IKZF5WT/Y121F genotypes. Dysregulated genes in GP9-/- MKs were enriched for RNA metabolism and actin/tubulin folding pathways while those in IKZF5WT/Y121F MKs were enriched for cell cycle pathways. Most of these genes were also dysregulated in the platelets of patients with the corresponding diseases. Our results suggest that patients with inherited forms of thrombocytopenia present with a transcript trafficking defect during platelet formation.

• WES for CNV-verified CTCs from 2 patients with metastatic prostate cancer

  This dataset contains 4 paired fastq files sequenced by illumina Novoseq 6000. WES analysis (illumina platform, PE150, 100x coverage) was performed on a pool of CNV-verified CTCs that were enriched using high-throughout microfluidic device from entire leukopak from patients with metastatic prostate cancer (GU-1 and GU-2).

• A life history of colorectal cancer metastases

  Multiple metastatic sites were sampled at autopsy from four patients diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer and subjected to whole-genome sequencing using the Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform to identify somatic variants, structural rearrangements and mutational signatures. The number of tumour samples per patient ranged from 6 to 66.

• Prostate Cancer Whole Genome Validations

  We propose to definitively characterise the somatic genetics of Prostate cancer through generation of comprehensive catalogues of somatic mutations by high coverage genome sequencing. This study will aim to validate the findings of the whole genome study by re-sequencing regions of interest using a bespoke pulldown bait.
