• Pediatric Patient-Derived-Xenograft development in MAPPYACTS – international pediatric cancer precision medicine trial in relapsed and refractory tumors

  Pediatric patients with recurrent and refractory cancers are in most need for new treatments. This study developed patient-derived-xenograft (PDX) models within the European MAPPYACTS cancer precision medicine trial (NCT02613962). To date, 131 PDX models were established following heterotopical and/or orthotopical implantation in immunocompromised mice: 76 sarcomas, 25 other solid tumors, 12 central nervous system tumors, 15 acute leukemias, and 3 lymphomas. PDX establishment rate was 43%. Histology, whole exome and RNA sequencing revealed a high concordance with the primary patient’s tumor profile, human leukocyte-antigen characteristics and specific metabolic pathway signatures. A detailed patient molecular characterization, including specific mutations prioritized in the clinical molecular tumor boards are provided. Ninety models were shared with the IMI2 ITCC Paediatric Preclinical Proof-of-concept Platform (IMI2 ITCC-P4) for further exploitation. This new PDX biobank of unique recurrent childhood cancers provides an essential support for basic and translational research and new treatments development in advanced pediatric malignancies.

• National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) Sjögren's International Collaborative Clinical Alliance (SICCA): Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) Genome-Wide Genotyping

  The Sjögren's International Collaborative Clinical Alliance (SICCA) is a multisite observational cohort study that recruited a large cohort of geographically diverse participants. Enrollment of participants began in late 2004 at five (one domestic and four international) sites, in which all groups used the same protocol-directed methods to provide uniform evaluations; collect oral, ocular, and rheumatologic data; and collect specimens. The sites were located at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina; Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China; Rigshopitalet (formerly at Glostrup Hospital), Copenhagen, Denmark; Kanazawa Medical University, Ishikawa, Japan; King's College, London, UK (joined in 2007); and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). In 2009, Aravind Eye Hospital, Madurai, India; Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD; and University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA were added as additional SICCA sites. UCSF is the coordinating center for SICCA. All specimens and data collected for SICCA are housed at UCSF. To facilitate the research focused on understanding the genetics of Sjögren'sSjögren's syndrome, high-density SNP genotype data and SICCA clinical information are being made available to the research community. This includes participants recruited from all SICCA research groups (RG). These participants (3,382), blood relatives (439), and unrelated healthy controls (25) had their whole blood or saliva sample (Oragene) extracted for DNA for the GWAS at the UCSF DNA Bank. Eighty eight percent of the participants are women, most are of European or Asian ancestry and the median age is 55. To assess potential batch effects when doing case-control comparisons using planned external controls, 30 DNA samples from each of three studies were genotyped with SICCA DNA samples: The Genetic Architecture of Smoking and Smoking Cessation - Collaborative Genetic Study of Nicotine Dependence (COGEND) - PI: Laura Bierut. NEI-Age-related disease study (AREDS) - Genetic Variation in Refractive Error Substudy - PI: Dwight Stambolian. Controls from the National Institute of Mental Health's (NIMH's) Human Genetics Initiative. Genome-Wide Association Study of Schizophrenia - PI: Pablo V. Gejman. Molecular Genetics of Schizophrenia - nonGAIN Sample (MGS_nonGAIN) - PI: Pablo V. Gejman. Genotyping was performed at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR). Data quality control, dbGaP preparation and posting, and imputation to 1000 Genomes to increase SNP density was performed by the Center for Biomedical Statistics at the University of Washington. Data analysis was performed at UCSF using software PLINK, EIGENSOFT, and SNPTEST.

• A Genome-Wide Association Analysis in Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitor-Associated Angioedema and ACE Inhibitor-Exposed Controls; A Collaboration between the NIH Pharmacogenomics Research Network and the RIKEN Yokohama Center for Genomic Medicine

  The purpose of this study is to identify genetic predictors of ACE inhibitor-associated angioedema. In addition to preventing the formation of the pressor angiotensin II, ACE inhibitors prevent the carboxyl-terminal degradation of the vasoactive substances bradykinin and substance P. Angioedema is hypothesized to result from defective amino-terminal degradation of bradykinin or substance P in patients in whom ACE is inhibited. For example, activity of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), the enzyme responsible for the inactivation of substance P when ACE is inhibited, is decreased in patients with angioedema. In preliminary studies, we have identified SNPs in the DPP4 gene that associate with DPP-IV activity and, in blacks, with risk of angioedema. This project will use genome-wide genotyping to compare 250 cases and 568 ACE inhibitor-exposed control subjects (131 cases and 288 controls ascertained at Vanderbilt and 70 cases and 280 controls ascertained at the Marshfield Clinic). We plan a 2-stage analysis of associations between SNPs and angioedema - first, we will study DPP4 SNPs for association with angioedema and, second, we will explore associations using the full GWAS data set. Depending on the platform, additional DPP4 SNPs will be used to fully tag common genetic variants in both African American and European American samples. Based on the HapMap data, there are 14 tagging SNPs in people of European descent and 34 in Yoruba (selection criteria MAF>0.05 and r2>0.8). Cases were defined as having ACE inhibitor-associated angioedema if they had had swelling of the lips, throat, tongue or face while taking an ACE inhibitor but had never had angioedema while not taking an ACE inhibitor. For simplicity, intestinal edema was excluded. Control subjects were treated for at least 6 months with an ACE inhibitor without angioedema. Because black Americans are known to be overrepresented among patients with ACE inhibitor-associated angioedema, control subjects were prespecified to be 50% black American, 50% white American, and 50% female. At Vanderbilt, the medical history, including the history of angioedema, was confirmed by a research nurse or physician using a detailed case report form. Characteristics of Vanderbilt cases appear in the Table. At Marshfield, medical history will be confirmed by chart review. The Marshfield cohort is 98% white American and 57% female with a mean age of 47.2 years.

• NHLBI TOPMed: The Genetic Epidemiology of Asthma in Costa Rica

  This administrative supplement to the project, "The Genetic Epidemiology of Asthma in Costa Rica" (R37 HL066289) is in response to NOT-HL-14-029 to perform whole genome sequencing (WGS) on existing NHLBI populations. We focus on asthma because of its public health significance. Asthma affects 26 million U.S. children and adults, remains a major cause of morbidity (one-half million hospitalizations a year) and is the most common cause of school and work days lost. Asthma-related costs are estimated to be over $12.7 billion annually. The Asthma Probands for both the extended pedigrees and the trios utilized in this study were selected on the basis of a physician diagnosis of asthma; a history of recurrent asthma attacks or at least 2 respiratory symptoms; and either airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine or significant response to bronchodilator (Albuterol) administration. These criteria are identical to the criteria used in the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP). The three primary goals of this project are to: (1) identify common and rare genetic variants that determine asthma and its associated phenotypes (height, weight, IgE level, lung function, bronchodilator response, steroid treatment response) through whole genome sequencing (WGS); (2) perform novel family based association analysis of our WGS data to identify novel genes for asthma; and (3) integrate epigenomic and transcriptomic data with our WGS data and determine the epistatic interactions present using systems genomics approaches. Identification of the molecular determinants of asthma remains an important priority in translational science. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been successful in this regard, identifying at least 10 novel susceptibility genes for asthma. However, as with most complex traits, the variants identified by GWAS explain only a fraction of the estimated heritability of this disorder. Herein, we propose a novel family-based study design and state-of-the-art genome sequencing techniques to map a set of sequence variants for asthma and its associated phenotypes and assess the interrelationships of the identified genes and variants using systems genomics methods. We have assembled a team of investigators highly-skilled and expert in whole genome sequencing (Drs. Michael Cho and Benjamin Raby), genetic association analysis (Drs. Scott T. Weiss, Jessica Lasky-Su and Christoph Lange), integrative genomics (Drs. Raby, Kelan Tantisira, Augusto Litonjua and Dawn DeMeo), and systems genomics (Drs. Weiss, Amitabh Sharma, Lange and Raby) to address this important problem with both a novel study design and data set.

• National Sleep Research Resource (NSRR): Cleveland Family Study (CFS)

  The Cleveland Family Study (CFS) is a family-based study of sleep apnea, consisting of 2,284 individuals (46% African American) from 361 families studied on up to 4 occasions over a period of 16 years. The study began in 1990 with the initial aims of quantifying the familial aggregation of sleep apnea. National Institutes of Health (NIH) renewals provided expansion of the original cohort, including increased minority recruitment, and longitudinal follow-up, with the last exam occurring in February 2006. The CFS was designed to provide fundamental epidemiological data on risk factors for sleep disordered breathing (SDB). The sample was selected by identifying affected probands who had laboratory diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea. All first-degree relatives, spouses and available second-degree relatives of affected probands were studied. In addition, during the first 5 study years, neighborhood control families were identified through a neighborhood proband, and his/her spouses and first-degree relatives. Each exam, occurring at approximately 4-year intervals, included new enrollment as well as follow up exams for previously enrolled subjects. For the first three visits, data, including an overnight sleep study, were collected in participants' homes while the last visit occurred in a general clinical research center (GCRC). Phenotypic characterization of the entire cohort included overnight sleep apnea studies, blood pressure, spirometry, anthropometry and questionnaires. Currently, data of 710 individuals are available for use through BioData Catalyst (with genotype data available through dbGaP).The National Sleep Research Resource (NSRR) is a NIH-supported sleep data repository that offers free access to large collections of de-identified physiological signals and related clinical data from a large range of cohort studies, clinical trials and other data sources from children and adults, including healthy individuals from the community and individuals with known sleep or other health disorders. The goals of NSRR are to facilitate rigorous research that requires access to large or more diverse data sets, including raw physiological signals, to promote a better understanding of risk factors for sleep and circadian disorders and/or the impact of sleep disturbances on health-related outcomes. Data from over 15 data sources and more than 40,000 individual sleep studies, many linked to dozens if not hundreds of clinical data elements, are available (as of Feb. 2022). Query tools are available to identify variables of interest, and their meta-data and provenance.

• Cystic Fibrosis Nasal Epithelium Gene Expression by RNAseq

  Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a monogenic disorder leading to multi-organ system dysfunction, with the primary cause of morbidity and mortality being lung disease. Mutations in CFTR result in defective ion channel transport leading to hyperviscous mucus, airway infection, inflammation and lung function decline. While the Phe508del mutation is the most common CFTR mutation in North American people with CF, it is well known that there is a broad range of lung disease severity even amongst Phe508del homozygotes, including twins/siblings. Heritability analyses showing the relative contribution of non-CFTR modifier genes in such differences in phenotype, have led to our genomic and transcriptomic studies of gene modifiers in CF. Complementary to two international CF GWAS studies, this study was performed to a) determine differential expression of genes relative to a quantitative lung disease severity phenotype score (KNoRMA; as used in CF GWAS studies) and b) to assess expression quantitative trait loci. To better understand genetic modification of CF lung disease severity, we analyzed gene expression (transcriptomic) profiles by mRNA sequencing from nasal mucosal biopsy specimens of 134 people with CF. Each study participants was characterized for CF lung disease severity phenotype by averaging three years of lung function data (forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FEV1), normalized to a CF-specific reference population matching for age, sex, and height. Participants completed nasal lavage and nasal curettage mucosal sampling, with directed sampling to the inferior nasal turbinate, a well validated surrogate for cellular characteristics and CFTR function of the lower CF airways. Participants were further invited to complete a second set of these sampling procedures for validation analysis. Specimen and concurrent clinical data collection occurred across four North American study sites and nasal mucosal specimens were subjected to RNASeq analysis. These data were to be made available in the dbGaP. Our association analyses of gene expression relative to quantitative CF lung disease phenotype, taken together with previously identified GWAS signals, identified biological pathways correlated with CF lung disease pathogenesis. Our further association analyses of gene expression relative to single nucleotide polymorphism variation at significant CF GWAS loci further identified potential mechanisms of genetic variants associated with CF lung disease. This resource is intended to aid researchers in characterizing airway mucosal gene expression from the CF airways for the purpose of gene expression profiling in CF and in muco-obstructive airways disease.
