• PSCP_bisulphite_analysis_in_hESCs

  Many studies over the past 10 years, culminating in the recent report of the International Stem Cell Initiative (ISCI, 2011) have shown that hPSC acquire genetic and epigenetic changes during their time in culture. Many of the genetic changes are non-random and recurrent, probably because they provide a selective growth advantage to the undifferentiated cells. Some are shared by embryonal carcinoma cells, the malignant counterparts of ES cells. The origins of these growth advantages are poorly understood, but may come from altered cell cycle dynamics, resistance to apoptosis or altered patterns of differentiation. Less is known about the nature and consequences of epigenetic changes, but it is likely that these similarly affect hPSC behaviour; e.g., enhanced expression of DLK1, an imprinted gene, is associated with altered hPSC growth (Enver et al 2005). Inevitably, these genetic and epigenetic changes will impact on our ability to use hPSC for regenerative medicine, either because malignant transformation of the undifferentiated cells or their differentiated derivatives to be used for transplantation compromises safety, or because they impede the function of those differentiated derivatives, or because they affect the efficiency with which the undifferentiated cells can be expanded and differentiated into desired cell types. Focusing initially upon the existing clinical grade hESC lines, later moving to iPSC, we will Consolidate and extend knowledge of the rate, type and functional impact of the genetic variations that occur during hPSC culture. We will use whole genome and exome sequencing as well as SNP arrays, together with clonal analysis and other cytogenetics techniques. Common changes will be compared with those found in the normal human population, at low frequency in the original cell population or observed during iPSC generation in the HIPSCI project currently based at the WTSI. These studies will provide a better understanding of the range of genetic changes that occur in hPSC beyond the CNVs already identified. In conjunction with cancer genome resources and expertise at WTSI, bioinformatic analyses of these hPSC data will allow us to assess potential impact on hPSC behaviour pertinent to applications in regenerative medicine, notably the likelihood that specific changes arising in undifferentiated PSC cultures may be associated with potential malignant transformation of differentiated progeny. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Immunogenomics of Malignant Brain Tumors

  We performed systematic and comprehensive multi-sector immunogenomic analyses on 93 samples from a cohort of 30 patients with primary or recurrent gliomas or metastatic brain tumors, representing the largest cohort of these brain cancers studied spatially to date. For each patient, we characterized multiple spatially distinct regions using whole-exome (WES), custom capture validation, RNA, and TCR-sequencing. Our findings underscore the significant differences in clonal architecture between gliomas and metastatic brain tumors which translates into distinct neoantigen landscapes and, in turn, tumor infiltrating T cell clonotypic diversity. These data therefore provide high resolution insights into the immunogenomic landscapes within malignant brain tumors which may inform tumor-specific therapeutic approaches.

• Tissue Sampling and Biorepository to improve Cancer Cell Therapy

  This study focuses on the elucidation of determinants of response and resistance to anti-CD19 CAR T-cells in large B-cell lymphoma. Plasma samples were collected prior to treatment and serially post CAR T-cell infusion. Pre-treatment and relapse tumor samples were also obtained as available. Germ-line DNA isolated from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) was collected for all patients when available. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and tumor DNA were sequenced using a target hybrid capture oligonucleotide pool. RNA-Seq was also performed on tumor isolated RNA. The authors identified several recurrent genomic alterations associated with relapse, and identified molecular thresholds that were predictive of response.

• Gene-Environment Interactions in COCCaINE Use Disorder: Collaborative Case-Control Initiative in Cocaine Addiction

  Drug addiction is a phenotype that has high heritability estimates. In recent years, association studies of candidate genes and some genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a large number of SNPs associated with substance use, abuse or dependence, particularly in phenotypes related to alcohol and nicotine use. Regarding snorted or smoked cocaine dependency, only one GWAS has been conducted so far. In addition, genetic association studies that specifically evaluated smoked cocaine dependence (e.g. crack) are rare, because of characteristics related to the route of administration and duration of the effect of the drug. Thus, the main aim of this GWAS was to identify genetic variations that modulate the risk for the cocaine dependence.

• RNA-Seq Data From Early Stage Triple Negative Breast Cancer Tumors Treated With TVEC and Chemotherapy (MCC18621)

  This study is a phase 1/phase 2 trial testing the combination of talimogene laherparepvec (TVEC) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the treatment of stage II-III triple negative breast cancer. The trial demonstrated that the addition of TVEC to neoadjuvant chemotherapy was feasible, and resulted in a pathological complete response (pCR) rate of 45.9%, residual cancer burden (RCB) 0-1 rate of 65%, and event free survival of 89%. The macrodissected formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples were from 50 patients treated across two phases at different timepoints (pre-treatment, 6th week of treatment, and surgical resection). RNA-Seq data is provided along with clinical classifiers.

• Mucosal Melanoma Targeted Exome Sequencing Study (UCSF)

  Mucosal melanoma is a deadly disease that carries the worst prognosis amongst subtypes of melanoma. Like all melanomas, mucosal melanomas are frequently driven by activating mutations in the MAPK and/or PI3K pathways; however, unlike melanomas that arise on sun-exposed skin, mucosal melanomas harbor few point mutations. Instead, most somatic alterations involve structural alterations, which appear early during tumor progression. Molecular studies in mucosal melanoma generally only profile point mutations without interrogating copy number alterations, and pathogenic mutations are only found in 30% of cases. We sequenced 38 mucosal melanomas, and in addition to profiling point mutations, we looked for copy number alterations that amplify oncogenes or delete tumor suppressors.

• Evaluating genetic ancestry and self-reported ethnicity in the context of carrier screening

  Current professional society guidelines recommend genetic carrier screening be offered on the basis of ethnicity, or when using expanded carrier screening panels, they recommend to compute residual risk based on ethnicity. We investigated the reliability of self-reported ethnicity in 9125 subjects referred to carrier screening. We identified several discrepancies between the two sources of self-reported ethnicity and genetic ancestry. As a result, carrier rates and residual risks provided for patient decision-making are impacted if using self-reported ethnicity. We recommend the routine use of pan-ethnic carrier screening panels in reproductive medicine. Furthermore, the use of an ancestry model would allow better estimation of carrier rates and residual risks.

• Genome Wide Association Study of Serum Creatinine during Vancomycin Therapy and Vancomycin Pharmacokinetics

  The goal of this study was to identify genetic variants associated with risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients being treated with vancomycin and genetic variants associated with variability in vancomycin pharmacokinetics. AKI is a common adverse drug event and known complication of vancomycin therapy. Known risk factors fail to accurately predict renal toxicity. Our hypothesis, that genetic variants modify the risk of AKI, was tested by performing genome-wide association and linear regression in 429 patients of European descent using the outcome of peak serum creatinine while on vancomycin. We also tested the hypothesis that genetic variants associate with vancomycin pharmacokinetics, using vancomycin trough levels and calculated renal elimination rate constant as outcomes.

• Clinical and genetic analysis of retinopathy of prematurity - GWAS

  This project aims to identify genetic variants that contribute to the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). ROP is a leading cause of childhood blindness worldwide. We have performed a genome wide association study (GWAS) using Illumina Global Screening Array (GSA) BeadChip. For this GWAS design we assembled the largest group of ROP patients described to date: around 1000 ROP patients in total. Demographic and phenotypic information associated with each sample includes gestational age, gender, ethnicity, multiple birth status, presence of ROP, and birth weight. The results of this study will help advance our understanding of the genetic susceptibility to ROP and may result in novel treatment options to slow the progression of the disease.

• Preclinical Modeling of Leiomyosarcoma Identifies Susceptibility to Transcriptional CDK Inhibitors through Antagonism of E2F-Driven Oncogenic Gene Expression

  Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a smooth muscle-derived mesenchymal cancer commonly found to have recurrent loss of tumor suppressor genes and a poorly defined oncogenic program. Empiric cytotoxic chemotherapy is the standard systemic treatment for LMS, and while more targeted and effective therapies are urgently needed, insights into therapeutic vulnerabilities in LMS have been limited by available preclinical models. We generated a panel of LMS patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models and evaluated fidelity to their tumors of origin using RNA sequencing and ultra-low passage whole-genome sequencing (ULP-WGS). Data available at dbGaP include RNA sequencing and ULP-WGS of primary tumors and early and late passages of PDX.

• Neurogenetic Investigations of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

  Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disabling early-onset neuropsychiatric disorder with a clear genetic contribution to risk but unclear underlying pathophysiology, which has hindered the development of new treatments and interventions. This study uses high-throughput sequencing approaches to identify OCD risk genes, detect gene expression differences in OCD, and determine epigenetic signatures driving gene expression in OCD brain. These studies will improve our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of OCD and identify points of traction for mechanistic studies in model systems, ultimately leading to novel therapeutics, and reducing the significant morbidity and mortality associated with this disabling illness. Furthermore, insights gained in these studies can inform gene discovery approaches to other complex neuropsychiatric disorders.

• Epigenetic Analysis of Malnutrition

  The PROVIDE study (Dhaka, Bangladesh) is a randomized clinical trial platform which evaluated the efficacy of delayed-dose oral rotavirus vaccine as well as the benefit of an injectable polio vaccine replacing one dose of oral polio vaccine. This rigorous infrastructure supported the additional examination of hypotheses of vaccine underperformance. Primary and secondary efficacy and immunogenicity measures for rotavirus and polio vaccines were measured, as well as the impact of maternal and childhood malnutrition, environmental enteropathy, and additional exploratory variables. This study has been conducted to test the role of epigenetics in malnutrition, specifically the genome-wide role of histone modifications, which are known to provide a precise signature of metabolic state and immune system function.

• STAMPEED: Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) GWAS to identify genetic variants associated with aging and CVD risk factors and events

  The primary aim of the study is to conduct a genome-wide association study to identify genetic variants associated with the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and heart failure (HF) among participants enrolled in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) who were free of clinical cardiovascular disease at baseline. The secondary aim is to conduct genome-wide association study of other phenotypes in CHS. The study is an ancillary study to CHS. CHS is a population-based cohort study of risk factors for heart disease and stroke among older adults recruited at 4 US sites in 1989-1990. Subjects underwent an extensive baseline examination, and annual follow-up examinations through 1988-1999.

• The Epigenomic Atlas of Early Human Craniofacial Development

  Parallel profiling of six distinct histone modifications via ChIP-Seq in craniofacial tissue samples from individual human embryos was performed. Epigenomic marks imputed with ChromImpute and a 25-state chromatin state model of uniformly processed epigenomic data was produced through ChromHMM. Samples were obtained from the MRC-Wellcome Trust Human Developmental Biology Resource (HDBR) tissue bank. HDBR provided karyotypically and developmentally normal pharyngeal arch or craniofacial tissue from embryos between 4.5 and 10 post-conception weeks. This repository contains raw data (fastq) files from ChIP-seq and RNA-seq experiments associated with this project. Processed ChIP-seq data and imputed data for additional histone marks are available at GEO (Series GSE97752).

• Enhancer signatures stratify and predict outcomes of non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

  Most pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) do not produce symptoms of hormonal excess and are hence considered “non-functional”. Their clinical behaviors vary widely, emphasizing the need for a robust classification with prognostic power. Using enhancer maps to infer regulatory programs, we find that the large majority of non-functional PNETs fall into two major sub-types that reflect alpha and beta endocrine cell ontogeny, respectively. Tumors of the different subtypes have similar clinical presentations and histology, but express distinct lineage-specifying transcription factors, ARX or PDX1. Here we provide the raw ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data of the PNET cohort in this study, as well as ChIP-seq data of ileal carcinoids.

• Sweden-Schizophrenia Population-Based Case-Control Exome Sequencing

  Current findings of the genetic risk of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder emerging from genome wide association studies (GWAS) support a highly polygenic model displaying the full spectrum of causal alleles that includes the extremes of rare, penetrant alleles as well as common alleles of small effect. Lower frequency polymorphism, rare variants and private mutations have eluded measurement by GWAS studies and thus association with disease. In order to create a comprehensive catalogue of low frequency or rare coding variation in individuals with psychiatric disease and to build a foundation for future genetic studies of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, we have obtained whole exome DNA sequence from a population-based schizophrenia and bipolar disorder Swedish case-control cohort.

• Multiethnic Cohort Adiposity Phenotype Study (MEC-APS)

  A total of 1,861 healthy men and postmenopausal women aged 60-77 years with body mass indexes (BMIs) of 17.1-46.2 kg/m2 were enrolled into the study. Stratified sampling was conducted based on sex, race/ethnicity, and six BMI categories (18.5-21.9, 22-24.9, 25-26.9, 27-29.9, 30-34.9, and 35-40 kg/m2) to balance the sample size across the wide range of BMI and optimize adjustment for total adiposity in populations with different BMI distributions. Study participants underwent body composition assessment, in person interview, blood collection, and completed a self-administered questionnaire. A genome-wide association study of obesity phenotypes was conducted among five racial/ethnic groups of the Multiethnic Cohort Study.

• Grady Trauma Project (GTP)

  Not everyone exposed to traumatic experience develops Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Genetic background is one of the predisposing risk factors causing differential outcomes of trauma exposure. A primary goal of the Grady Trauma Project (GTP) is to pinpoint and understand genetic polymorphisms that contribute to development of PTSD. Both PTSD diagnosis binary labels and PTSD severity scores are studied as target phenotypes. Also, both candidate gene studies and genome-wide association studies are performed. Besides genetic variants, other measurements that are studied as risk factors for PTSD include lifetime history of trauma and peri-traumatic response. Study participants are primarily African American, trauma-exposed populations of low socioeconomic status recruited from Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.

• Temporal Dissection of Tumorigenesis in Primary Cancers

  The earliest genetic abnormalities in cancer represent a unique opportunity for timely clinical diagnosis. Classic deep sequencing of tumors identifies many aberrations acquired later in cancer progression. In this study, data regarding simple mutation and chromosomal aberration were integrated to trace the evolution of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas and ovarian adenocarcinomas. Only after the second allele of TP53 was lost did the genome enter a window of extreme genomic vulnerability, in both cancer types, eventually acquiring more than 100,000 mutations in skin cancers. Inactivating Notch mutations were also identified as prevalent secondary changes. These results add context to the idea of TP53 mutation as dominant negative and occurring later in tumorigenesis.
