• UK10K_RARE_HYPERCHOL

  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.Familial Hypercholesterolemia is a condition where the affected person has a consistently high level of LDL which can lead to early clogging of the coronary arteries. All patients selected for this study will have been found not to carry the common APOB and PCSK9 mutations, and to have no detectable LDLR mutations by testing for 18 common mutations.

• Copy number profiling of putative cancer stem from pleural effusion aspirates from breast cancer patients

  A common symptom during late stage breast cancer disease is pleural effusion, which is related to poor prognosis. In pleural effusions malignant cells can be detected, which indicates a metastatic spread from the primary tumor site. Beside the usefulness for investigation of the metastatic process, it has been a source to isolate cells with putative cancer stem cell (CSC) properties. For this study, pleural effusion aspirate from 25 metastatic breast cancer patients were processed to establish in vitro culture. Patient-derived aspirates were cultured under sphere forming conditions and isolated primary cultures were sorted for cancer stem cell populations ALDH1+ and CD44+CD24-/low and sphere forming efficiency of CSC and non-CSC subpopulation was determined. Unsorted cells had a higher potential to form spheres compared to CSC subpopulations. Subsequently, DNA was isolated from pleural effusions before and after cell sorting, to compare their copy number profiles generated by low-coverage whole genome sequencing to DNA from FFPE primary tumors or bone metastasis. Unbalanced profiles could be detected in four pleural samples before sorting, in two ALDH1+ sorted samples, in one CD44+CD24-/low and in all control samples. Additionally, spheroid culture from one pleural sample could be passaged on and was characterized. Therefore, pleural effusions are an appropriate media for enrichment of putative CSC. However, low-coverage sequencing is difficult due to low quantities of abnormal cells compared to normal cells.

• ICU_transcriptomics__Assessing_the_role_of_the_host_immune_response_in_patients_with_ventilator_associated_pneumonia

  The aim of the proposed project is to provide transcriptomic sequencing data analysis of cells isolated from bronchioalveolar lavage and blood samples from critically ill patients with pneumonia on an intensive care unit in order to investigate the host contribution to disease. The lung microbiome of these patients will be analysed in parallel by deep sequencing and 16S sequencing. These data will provide important information to the development of strategies aimed at improving patient outcomes, reducing the development of antimicrobial resistance and facilitating infection control measures in hospital. Specifically, the proposed work will be a proof of principle study of 100 patients. We will use transcriptomic data to define the host contribution to the symptoms of these critically ill patients diagnosed with pneumonia. The data will be correlated with cytokine/chemokine concentrations, routine microbiology analysis and pathogen genomic data from the same samples to determine the ecology of the lungs of these patients. We will look for associations between clinical features, host response and pathogen genomics in order to identify new diagnostic markers. This study should provide important information to improve the speed and accuracy of diagnosis - resulting in more targeted and successful treatment of critically ill patients in the ICU. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• NHLBI GO-ESP Family Studies: Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

  The NHLBI "Grand Opportunity" Exome Sequencing Project (GO-ESP), a signature project of the NHLBI Recovery Act investment, was designed to identify genetic variants in coding regions (exons) of the human genome (the "exome") that are associated with heart, lung and blood diseases. These and related diseases that are of high impact to public health and individuals from diverse racial and ethnic groups will be studied. These data may help researchers understand the causes of disease, contributing to better ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases, as well as determine whether to tailor prevention and treatments to specific populations. This could lead to more effective treatments and reduce the likelihood of side effects. GO-ESP is comprised of five collaborative components: 3 cohort consortia - HeartGO, LungGO, and WHISP - and 2 sequencing centers - BroadGO and SeattleGO. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease characterized by widespread occlusion of the smallest arteries of the lungs. Pulmonary vascular obstruction leads to increased pulmonary vascular resistance, which subsequently causes heart failure with mean survival of 3 years. PAH occurs at all ages and affects women more than twice as frequently as men. Sporadic Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), comprises 94% of what was formerly known as primary pulmonary hypertension, and is clinically and pathologically indistinguishable from familial PAH (FPAH). Most FPAH is due to mutation in BMPR2, including more than 120 families in the US. Our goal here is to find other genes that are a basis for FPAH, so we selected for exome sequencing 5 families among 40 who do not have mutation in BMPR2, or other known genes (ACVRL1, SMAD8, ENG) that rarely are the basis for FPAH.

• PROGRESS/ELEMENT DNA Methylation Study

  An extension to the Early Life Exposures in Mexico to Environmental Toxicants (ELEMENT) birth cohort of Mexico City, the Programming Research in Obesity, GRowth, Environment and Social Stress (PROGRESS) Cohort is an ongoing longitudinal pre-birth cohort, established in 2006 in Mexico City, partnering Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai with Harvard University and the National Institute of Public Health in Mexico, which was designed to study the effects of prenatal exposure to toxic metals, air pollution, phthalates, and stress on childhood development. Pregnant women of 18 years of age and older, pregnant for less than 20 weeks of gestation, had no documentation of heart or kidney disease, no use of steroids or anti-epilepsy drugs, no daily alcohol consumption, had telephone access, and planned to live in Mexico city for the following 3 years, and receiving care through the Mexican Social Security System were initially enrolled (n=1,054). In addition to clinical, demographic and exposure data collected, cord blood was collected to interrogate DNA methylation across the genome for over 300 mother-child dyads. Clinical assessments and exposures were captured during several life stages, including prenatal, infant (0-1 year), youth (1-18 years), and adulthood (mother). The PROGRESS cohort added well-documented phenotyping of children for obesity, metabolic dysfunction, respiratory outcomes, and cardiovascular outcomes, as well as measures of air pollutant, personal care/consumer product, non-chemical stress, and metal mixture exposures. No clinical trials were conducted in this cohort. The data collected in this study should provide a unique resource to investigate DNA methylation as it relates to several environmental exposures and adverse cardiometabolic and neurocognitive health in mothers and children from a prospective birthing cohort. For access to demographic, clinical, and exposure data please directly contact study principal investigators.

• Gene-Environment Interactions (GxE) and Complex Traits

  Functional variants associated with complex traits tend to fall in non-coding regions and affect regulatory mechanisms that are not yet well characterized. Furthermore, it is generally difficult to determine in which tissues and conditions they may have a functional impact. This is because the effect of a genetic variant on a molecular pathway, and ultimately on the individual's phenotype, may be modulated by "environmental" factors. We denominate such variants "gene-expression environment-specific quantitative trait nucleotides" GxE-QTNs. Achieving a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying GxE is a critical step in understanding the link between genotype and complex phenotype. It is also crucial to develop computationally efficient and statistically sound methods capable to integrate tissue/condition-specific functional genomics data to predict and validate when a sequence variant is functional. In this study we developed novel experimental and computational approaches to screen, analyze and functionally characterize genetic variants for complex traits modulated by environmental exposures. To identify and characterize genes with GxE, we analyzed allele specific gene expression in a panel of five relevant tissues (e.g. the vascular endothelium for cardiovascular diseases) under 50 controlled environmental conditions (e.g. glucocorticoids treatment, as a proxy for stress exposure). These data should be useful to develop computational tools that integrate different sources of evidence including data collected by ENCODE, RoadMap Epigenome and GTEx projects to functionally annotate GWAS variants. The experimental and computational tools developed by this project have widespread applicability, for example, can be used to tackle the functional basis of complex traits in other environmental contexts (e.g. other types of stress and hormonal levels) and genetic backgrounds. This resource represents the first comprehensive catalog of genetic variants that interact with environmental exposure in determining human complex traits.

• NHLBI GO-ESP: Lung Cohorts Exome Sequencing Project (Asthma): Genetic variants affecting susceptibility and severity

  The NHLBI "Grand Opportunity" Exome Sequencing Project (GO-ESP), a signature project of the NHLBI Recovery Act investment, was designed to identify genetic variants in coding regions (exons) of the human genome (the "exome") that are associated with heart, lung and blood diseases. These and related diseases that are of high impact to public health and individuals from diverse racial and ethnic groups will be studied. These data may help researchers understand the causes of disease, contributing to better ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases, as well as determine whether to tailor prevention and treatments to specific populations. This could lead to more effective treatments and reduce the likelihood of side effects. GO-ESP is comprised of five collaborative components: 3 cohort consortia - HeartGO, LungGO, and WHISP - and 2 sequencing centers - BroadGO and SeattleGO. The exome sequencing asthma project includes 200 African-Americans with asthma from the NHLBI multicenter Severe Asthma Research Program (SARP). SARP participants were recruited at the NHLBI SARP sites with an emphasis on recruiting severe asthmatics (Moore et al., Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 2010. PMID: 19892860). Asthma status was based on both a physician's diagnosis and either bronchodilator reversibility or hyper-responsiveness to methacholine as well as less than 5 pack years of smoking. All subjects were carefully characterized using the standardized SARP protocol which included spirometry (medication withheld), maximum bronchodilator reversibility, hyper-responsiveness to methacholine (not performed in subjects with low baseline FEV1), skin-tests to common allergens, questionnaires on health care utilization and medication use and sputum, lung imaging and bronchoscopy in a subset. In addition GWAS data are available (phs000355, Illumina platform).

• Epigenetics of Cocaine and Nicotine Addiction

  This project characterizes DNA methylation and gene expression changes that occur in the human brain, specifically in neurons from the rostral striatum. Major advances from NIDA funded initiatives for noninvasive neuroimaging studies have made it possible to study neuroanatomical, neurochemical and functional changes in the human brain that contribute to the vulnerability to abuse drugs, together with the neurotoxic consequences of years of drug misuse. Animal models have been developed to explain the fundamental behavioral and biological mechanisms of addiction, including reward, tolerance and dependence. From these studies, we learned that cocaine abuse not only alters the epigenetic status of genes, but also induces particular epigenetic modifications depending on the frequency of the drug's administration. Certain genes are switched on by infrequent (short-term exposure) administration, while others are switched on only after chronic administration (addiction/dependence). Animal studies have also suggested that cocaine-seeking habits modeling chronic cocaine addiction in humans depend upon dopamine-dependent serial connectivity linking the ventral (nucleus accumbens) with the dorsal striatum (caudate nucleus). The primary goal of this study is to identify DNA methylation and gene expression changes that occur in the transition from recreational cocaine use to cocaine addiction. High throughput sequencing studies were designed to investigate unique postmortem human brain specimens from individuals that met criteria for cocaine dependence, as compared to unaffected age-matched controls. Brain biospecimens were available from the University of Miami Brain Endowment BankTM, from a collection of phenotypically well-characterized postmortem tissues sampled from chronic cocaine abusers that came to autopsy. This biobank of postmortem brain specimens and annotated genomic data serve as a research resource to support NIDA's scientific mission.

• Genomic Answers for Kids (GA4K)

  Identification of complex genetic variants including defects in gene regulatory circuits and uncharacterized genes present challenges for rare disease diagnosis. In Genomic Answers for Kids program we apply the joint interpretation of patient genome sequence with genomic endophenotypes to expand the clinically actionable genome among pediatric cases of suspected genetic disease. Our objective is to examine the role of novel and under-interpreted sequence variation by combining complete DNA sequences, personal epigenetic variations and massively parallel functional screens. To achieve this we perform augmented whole genome sequence (WGS) interpretation including reanalysis of clinical exomes as well as generating WGS for patients with negative exome results all be subject to family-based semi-automated recall pipeline to discover missed diagnostic variation. We use linked-read and long-read sequencing technologies to focus on putative structural variants missed in short-read genome and exome analysis by the optimized integration of linked and long read technologies that also improve identification of transmission patterns of all variants, as well as resolving genomic regions resistant to standard alignment. We also include tissue DNA sequencing to investigate somatic mosaicism. To further assist with WGS interpretation for uncommon variation we capture snapshots of patient transcriptomes and epigenomes in individual cells using single-cell RNA (scRNA) and sc open chromatin (scATAC) as well as bulk whole genome bisulphite genome sequencing for methylome interpretation. Alternative splicing is functionally assessed in available patient tissues using RNA-seq, including full length cDNA sequences by IsoSeq (PacBio) methodology. Our overarching goal is an increase rate of diagnostic genomic findings up to two-fold among rare disease, resulting in the majority (>50%) of patient cases resolved by the integrated system developed in our program.

• Rapid Early Action for Coronary Treatment (REACT-BioLINCC)

  Data Access NOTE: Please refer to the “Authorized Access” section below for information about how access to the data from this accession differs from many other dbGaP accessions. Objectives: This multicenter controlled community study developed and evaluated the impact of a community educational intervention program on participant delay time from onset of symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) to arrival at a hospital emergency department.Background: Although early reperfusion or thrombolytic therapy can reduce morbidity and mortality following an AMI, delayed access to medical care in participants is relatively common. Mean delay times from symptom onset to hospital arrival range from more than 4 hours to 24 hours, and the largest component of prolonged delay is participant recognition and action.Participants: A total of 20 communities from 5 field centers in the U.S. were pair-matched (10 pairs) according to geographic proximity and demographic characteristics. After initiation of a 4 month baseline surveillance period, one community in each pair was randomly selected to receive the intervention. The baseline surveillance period was followed by an 18 month community intervention and surveillance period. The community surveillance captured a total of 59,944 adults aged 30 years or older presenting to hospital emergency departments with chest pain, of whom 20,364 met study criteria for suspected acute coronary heart disease (CHD) at admission and discharged with a CHD diagnosis.Conclusions: Delay times were decreased in the intervention and reference communities. The results showed that the multicomponent community intervention program did not differentially reduce delay time from onset of AMI symptoms to arrival at a hospital, but did significantly increase the use of Emergency Medical Services by these participants in the intervention communities.

• Genomic Landscape of Multiple Myeloma and of its Precursor Conditions, and its Clinical Implications

  Reliable strategies to capture patients at risk of progression from precursor stages of multiple myeloma (MM) to overt disease are still missing. In this study, we generated whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from matched tumor and normal samples from 98 individuals from the PCROWD study (Precursor Crowd, NCT02269592). These individuals have either a precursor condition for MM, which can be a monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) or smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), or an active multiple myeloma (MM). To do so, we enriched tumor plasma cells from the bone marrow by magnetic bead selection (CD138+), sequenced the DNA of these samples to a target depth of 60X (tumor), and analyzed them against normal white blood cells (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) from the same individuals sequenced to a target depth of 30X (normal). In our first publication [Alberge, Dutta, Poletti, et al., 2025], we integrated and homogeneously analyzed these data together with data from mostly publicly available datasets (phs003084 and phs000748) to reach 1,030 total samples. We used these data to identify recurrent coding and non-coding candidate drivers, as well as significant hotspots of structural variation, and used those drivers to define and validate a simple “MM-like” score which we could use to place patients' tumors on a gradual axis of progression toward active disease. Our MM precursor genomic map provides new insights on the time of initiation and cell of origin of the disease, on the order of acquisition of genomic alterations, and on mutational processes found across stages of the transformation. Taken together, we highlight here the potential of genome sequencing to better inform risk assessment and monitoring of MM precursor conditions.

• Genetic Risk for Subsequent Neoplasms among Long-term Survivors of Childhood Cancer in the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort

  While childhood cancer survivors are known to be at increased risk of subsequent neoplasms (SNs), the contribution of germline mutations in cancer predisposition genes to the risk of SN is largely unknown. Whole-genome sequencing (30X) was performed on 3,006 5+ year survivors of childhood cancer (median age, 35.8 [range: 7.1-69.8] years) from the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort. Survivors underwent a comprehensive clinical assessment. Germline mutations in 156 cancer predisposition genes (SJCPG156), including a subset of 60 (SJCPG60) autosomal dominant genes with moderate to high penetrance, were classified for their pathogenicity. Piecewise exponential regression, stratified by radiation exposure, was used to evaluate the relative rate (RR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of SN occurrence by mutation status. Pathogenic or likely pathogenic mutations in SJCPG156 and SJCPG60 were identified in 11.7% and 5.8% of survivors, respectively. The most frequently mutated SJCPG60 genes included RB1 (n=43), NF1 (n=22), BRCA2 (n=14), BRCA1 (n=12) and TP53 (n=10). Mutations in SJCPG60 were associated with the rate of subsequent sarcoma (RR, 10.3; 95% CI, 4.2 to 25.6) and breast cancer (RR, 13.3; 95% CI, 5.8 to 30.5) among irradiated survivors, and the rate of developing any SN (RR, 4.8; 95% CI, 2.4 to 9.4) and breast cancer (RR, 7.8; 95% CI, 2.5 to 24.0) among non-irradiated survivors. The rate of developing ≥2 histologically distinct SNs was increased 17.8-fold (95% CI, 3.5 to 89.8) among SJCPG60 mutation carriers treated without radiotherapy. Similar but attenuated associations were observed for mutations in SJCPG156. Survivors who develop a SN without prior radiotherapy or who are diagnosed with a subsequent sarcoma or breast cancer within a site of prior radiotherapy should be referred to genetic counseling.

• Whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis of untreated head and neck cancer patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) matched patient tumor tissue and normal mucosa tissue.

  WES analysis was performed on untreated patient tumor/normal mucosa tissue and matched patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) to investigate the preservation of tumor-specific genomic alterations in the in vivo context. 183 total samples were sequenced with paired reads on 8-10 lanes from different flowcells. They were loaded as 3538 separate files to maintain the data as it was received from BGI - each sample is therefore composed of 5 separate EGAN with 2-4 files each, adding a 0.1 - .. - 0.5 to each BioSample ID to generate sample aliases. All R1 (and R2, separately) files referring to a BioSample ID should be concatenated to obtain fastq files corresponding to single patients or PDXs.

• Circulating tumor cell copy-number heterogeneity in ALK-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer resistant to ALK inhibitors

  Gatekeeper mutations are identified in only 50% of the cases at resistance to Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are relevant tools to identify additional resistance mechanisms and can be sequenced at the single-cell level. Here, we provide in-depth investigation of copy number alteration (CNA) heterogeneity in phenotypically characterized CTCs at resistance to ALK-TKIs in ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer.
