• Transcriptome profiling of human plucked frontal and occipital hair follicles

  Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is characterized by a progressive and androgen-dependent loss of hair from the frontal and vertex regions of the scalp. Although large-scale genetic analyses have identified >300 genetic risk factors, the underlying causal genes and pathways, and their involvement in core pathophysiological mechanisms, remain unclear. In the present study, systematic profiling of differential mRNA and microRNA expression was performed in human hair follicle samples from frontal and occipital scalp regions. Taken together, the present data improve understanding of the genomic regions, genes, and pathways that are implicated in AGA pathobiology.

• Susceptibility to Respiratory Infections Due to Autosomal Recessive IFIH1 Mutations

  We studied a child with life-threatening and recurrent respiratory tract infections, caused by multiple viruses including rhinovirus, influenza virus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). We identified in her a homozygous missense mutation in IFIH1 that encodes MDA5 by Whole Exome Sequencing. MDA5-deficiency is a novel inborn error of innate immunity that results in impaired dsRNA-sensing, reduced IFN induction, and susceptibility to the common cold virus.

• Regions of common inter-individual DNA methylation differences in human monocytes.

  Based on whole genome bisulfite sequencing of five human monocytes from unrelated individuals, we have identified regions of common inter-individual DNA methylation differences, where methylation is inversely correlated with active histone marks, but not with the expression of the associated genes. Genome-wide association studies in 1128 individuals show that allelic DNA methylation is caused by genetic variation in cis. At some loci, DNA methylation appears to be affected also by genetic variation in trans.

• Breast Cancer - immune clusters - RNA-seq

  In this study we use expression data from breast cancer tumors to define immune clusters in breast cancer. Immune clusters have gradual levels of immune infiltration. In the intermediate immune infiltration cluster, we found a worse prognosis which is independent of known clinicopathological features. We also found the immune clusters associated with treatment response. Further using gene expression data and deconvolution algorithms to dissect the immune contexture of the clusters.

• Newborn Screening Translational Research Network (NBSTRN): Newborn Sequencing in Genomic Medicine and Public Health (NSIGHT2)

  Large-scale studies of whole genome sequencing (WGS) in neonates have largely been neglected. Thus, the clinical and social implications of this absence are largely unknown. The proposed study aims to increase scientific knowledge for acutely ill neonates. This population may stand to benefit largely from WGS given the severity of illness. The proposed clinical study is a prospective, randomized, partially-blinded study that has both quantitative and qualitative assessments of the risks and benefits of the use of STATseq, a 2-day genome test, in acutely ill neonates at Children's Mercy Hospital. Study participants include neonates, their parents, and clinicians caring for them. The overall aims will provide a nuanced understanding of the role of rapid diagnostic WGS for acutely ill neonates, including relative diagnostic sensitivity and change in management both for broad NICU populations and subpopulations, accuracy, reproducibility, and relative value of proband WGS and familial triads. The technological aims include improving diagnostic sensitivity without sacrificing the rapid turnaround time. The clinical aims include looking at increased diagnostic yield, shorter time to diagnosis and clinician perception of management changes that result from implementation of STAT-seq. Finally, the study will investigate the perceived value of STAT-seq in parents and clinicians using structural equation modeling. The studies also are designed for long-term continuation of assessment of the enrollees (beyond the current funding period) and in additional sample types (via a biorepository). Long-term continuation studies will test effects on long-term morbidity, mortality, quality of life and cost of care. We hope that the study results will be sufficient to provide an evidence base for physician adoption and provider reimbursement of WGS in Level 3 and 4 NICUs.

• Reconstruction of complex rearrangement patterns causing the initiation of clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

  The genomic hallmark of clear cell renal cell carcinoma is the loss of the short arm of chromosome three. This appears to be the earliest genomic event in the formation of these cancers. Often chromosome 3 is lost at the same time as part of chromosome 5 is duplicated via an unbalanced translocation, often with features consistent with focal chromothripsis. In this study, we sought to reconstruct the chromothriptic event that underlies the initiation of kidney cancer. We used long read sequencing (promethION, Oxford Nanopore Technologies) of patient tumour-derived DNA to elucidate how a single cell division error can generate cancer genome complexity.

• Development, maturation and maintenance of human prostate inferred from somatic mutations

  Stem cells within prostate epithelium frequently undergo malignant transformation, but there is limited information on their clonal dynamics and mutation burden in healthy human prostates. We sequenced whole genomes from 409 microdissections of prostate epithelium across 8 donors, using phylogenetic reconstruction with spatial mapping in a 59-year-old man’s prostate to provide high-resolution reconstruction of tissue dynamics across the lifespan. Somatic mutation burden increases linearly with age, at ~16 mutations/year/clone, and is higher in peripheral than peri-urethral regions. The 24-30 independent glandular subunits are established as rudimentary ductal structures during fetal development by 5-10 embryonic cells each. Puberty induces formation of further side branches and terminal acini by local stem cells disseminated through the rudimentary ducts during development. During adult tissue maintenance, clonal expansions are small, with limited geographic scope and minimal migration. Driver mutations are rare in normal ageing prostate epithelium, but the one canonical driver we did observe generated a sizable intraepithelial clonal expansion. By resolving unbiased, continuously occurring lineage-marking mutations, we define stem cell dynamics through embryogenesis, puberty and ageing, with relevance for prostate cancer.

• Comprehensive Genomic Profiling of a National Cohort of Pediatric Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in Hungary

  Pediatric papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is a rare childhood malignancy with increasing incidence and distinct clinicopathological features, including high rate of locoregional metastases and different molecular background compared to adult cases. Traditional treatments (surgery, radioactive iodine) are effective but pose long-term risks, prompting the exploration of targeted therapies. We performed comprehensive genomic profiling on 21 pediatric PTC patients utilising the Illumina TruSight Oncology 500 platform and detected mutations, gene fusions, copy number variations and revealed tumor mutational burden.

• Impact of Genomic Variation on Function (IGVF) Consortium

  The IGVF (Impact of Genomic Variation on Function) Consortium aims to understand how genomic variation affects genome function, which in turn impacts phenotype. The NHGRI is funding this collaborative program that brings together teams of investigators who will use state-of-the-art experimental and computational approaches to model, predict, characterize and map genome function, how genome function shapes phenotype, and how these processes are affected by genomic variation. These joint efforts will produce a catalog of the impact of genomic variants on genome function and phenotypes.

• PARK7/DJ-1 deficiency modulates microglial activation in response to LPS-induced inflammation

  Specific microglia responses are thought to contribute to the development and progression of various neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the phenotypic acquisition of microglial cells and their role during the underlying neuroinflammatory processes remain largely obscure. Here, according to the multiple-hit hypothesis, which stipulates that PD etiology is determined by a combination of genetics and various environmental risk factors, we investigate microglial transcriptional programs and morphological adaptations under PARK7/DJ-1 deficiency, a genetic cause of PD, during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation.

• Sequencing_probands_and_families_with_severe_insulin_resistance_syndromes

  This is an ongoing project and continuation to all the sequencing we have been doing over the last few years. We have some additional families and probands with syndromes of insulin resistance not previously sequenced within uk10k or other core funded projects. We would like to complete the sequencing in all of the good quality families and probands we have, this would require another ~50 samples to be WES sequenced. This cohort has already proven to be a rich source of interesting findings with papers in Science and Nature genetics.

• Identification of Somatic Changes in Tumors from Fanconi Anemia Patients

  This study focused on the identification of genomic signatures present in tumors from Fanconi anemia patients. Fanconi anemia is a rare hereditary disease caused by defects in DNA interstrand crosslink repair. The primary patient phenotypes are bone marrow failure and cancer predisposition. We concentrated on squamous cell carcinomas and used whole genome Illumina sequencing (22 tumor samples and 12 normal samples) , whole exome sequencing (37 tumor samples and 33 normal samples), PacBio long-read whole-genome (nine tumor and four normal samples),10X linked-read whole-genome sequencing, 10x single-cell/nuclei 3’ RNA sequencing (three tumor samples), 10x Visium spatial transcriptomics (one tumor sample), EPIC 850K methylation array (six samples), and bulk RNAseq (six tumor samples) to identify somatic changes present in tumors. The study aimed to identify changes that drive tumorigenesis in Fanconi anemia, give insight into the early development and aggressive nature of these tumors, and suggest therapeutic avenues for these patients. Another goal was to compare the genomic changes identified in tumors from Fanconi anemia patients with sporadic head and neck cancers. This study demonstrated that the tumors from Fanconi anemia individuals are generally not driven by HPV. Instead, they acquire mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor. The main characteristic of the tumors is the presence of a high number of structural variants in the form of small deletions, unbalanced translocations, and fold-back inversions, which often form complex rearrangements. These rearrangements result in amplifications and deletions of a multitude of oncogenes and tumor suppressors, respectively. The study also shows that lack of the Fanconi anemia DNA repair pathway leads to an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in a mouse model and in human samples that may influence the behavior of tumors in Fanconi anemia. Finally, comparing genomic changes in Fanconi anemia and sporadic tumors of the head and neck, we propose that the structural variants present in sporadic cancer result in a functional deficiency of the Fanconi anemia DNA repair pathway.

• Identification of Host Genetic Factors That Are Determinant for the Development of Severe Forms of COVID-19

  We conducted whole exome sequencing (WXS) on 21 cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) related to COVID-19 from Brazil. All patients who were hospitalized underwent serum (ELISA) and molecular (RT-PCR) testing for SARS-CoV-2, and the main clinical symptoms associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection were collected. During hospitalization, data on complications, medical interventions, and laboratory findings were also collected. Our results revealed in an unprecedented way the occurrence of several rare loss-of-function variants in the NLRP12 gene among the affected children, and three other SNVs, predicted to be highly pathogenic, were identified in the IL17RC gene. An additional nonsense variant, in the IFNA10 gene, was identified in a single patient. Through in vitro functional analysis, we unequivocally demonstrated that these mutations impact NF-kB activation. These findings are similar to those observed in NLRP12-associated systemic autoinflammatory disorders, characterized by altered innate immune response, with increased NF-κB activation and excessive production of inflammatory cytokines. To our knowledge, our study is the first to provide a plausible molecular mechanism for MIS-C involving inborn errors in NLRP12. We suggest that some patients with MIS-C may benefit from Interleukin (IL)-1 pathway blockade treatments.

• Transcriptome_human_nasal_epithelium

  1. Odors are detected, firstly, by olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the olfactory epithelium of the nose. This neurons then project directly to the olfactory bulb in the brain. Olfaction depends on cellular regeneration of the OE, olfactory bulb and hippocampus, and on their continual re-wiring. The olfactory neural pathway includes regions of the frontal, temporal and limbic brain, which in turn overlap with brain areas involved in brain disorders. OSNs are the only aspect of the human brain exposed to the external environment. This not only makes them vulnerable to environmental changes, but also accessible for biomedical studies.We have already sequenced and developed a protocol for analyzing the transcriptome of mouse main olfactory epithelium and single OSNs. We propose here to perform a similar study for samples from the human olfactory epithelium. We have developed a minimally invasive method for obtaining human OSNs, among other cells from the nasal epithelium. In this experiment, we have obtained cell samples from the olfactory epithelium, including OSN, from healthy volunteers. We would like to further characterize them by RNA sequencing. This will give us valuable insight into human olfaction. It will also provide a first step into a new avenue to study, and find biomarkers for, brain diseases though the analysis of these easily available neurons. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• A no-stop mutation in MAGEB4 is a possible cause of rare X-linked azoospermia and oligozoospermia in a consanguineous Turkish family

  Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify mutations that cause non-syndromic male infertility using whole exome sequencing of family cases.Methods: We recruited a consanguineous Turkish family comprising nine siblings with male triplets; two of the triplets were infertile as well as one younger infertile brother. Whole exome sequencing (WES) performed on two azoospermic brothers, identified a mutation in the MAGEB4 gene which was confirmed via Sanger sequencing and then screened for on control groups and unrelated infertile subjects. The effect of the mutation on mRNA and protein levels were tested after in vitro cell transfection. Structural features of MAGEB4 were predicted throughout the conserved MAGE domain.Results: The novel single base substitution (c.1041A>T) in the X-linked MAGEB4 gene was identified as a no-stop mutation. The mutation is predicted to add 24 amino acids to the C-terminus of MAGEB4. Our functional studies were unable to detect any effect either on mRNA stability, intracellular localization of the protein or the ability to homo / heterodimerize with other MAGE proteins. We thus hypothesize that these additional amino acids may affect the proper protein interactions with MAGEB4 partners. Conclusion: The whole exome analysis of a consanguineous Turkish family revealed MAGEB4 as a possible new X-linked cause of inherited male infertility. This study provides the first clue to the physiological function of a MAGE protein.

• Genomic Architecture of Progression and Treatment Response in AMD

  Numerous studies have identified common and rare genetic variation associated with risk of advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, risk is just one facet of AMD disease architecture. Both disease progression and response to treatment are two critical elements that may also be influenced by genetic variation. The primary aim of this study was to identify genetic variation influencing progression and response to treatment for AMD, with a secondary aim of further elucidating the genetic etiology of AMD risk. We ascertained AMD cases and controls of European ancestry from Vanderbilt Eye Institute (VEI) and the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute (BPEI) and obtained blood samples from all participants. Eyes were examined using standard ophthalmological methods, and graded according the modified Age-Related Eye Disease Study scale (AREDS grades 1-5) using fundus photography. Individuals were re-examined in follow-up exams at regular intervals to assess any change in AMD grade. Eyes with advanced neovascular AMD that were examined using ocular coherence tomography imaging (OCT), treated with anti-angiogenesis therapy and monitored for response to treatment. All individuals ascertained for the study were exome-chipped for genome-wide single nucleotide variation coverage. To target rare genetic variation, whole exome sequencing was performed on individuals at the phenotypic extremes based on 1) AMD grade, 2) rate of progression from intermediate to advanced AMD and 3) response to anti-VEGF treatment for eyes with advanced neovascular AMD.

• Genotyping microarray data of molecular tumorboard patients in the context of the HRD-manuscript published in IJC

  Intensity files (.idat) derived from the Infinium CytoSNP-850K BeadChip microarray (Illumina) were used to analzye a possible Homologous-Recombination-Repair Deficiency (Molecular Rationale for a PARP-Inhibitor therapy) of n= 39 tumor patients (each n= 39 .idat files of the green and red chanel respectively) presented in the Molecular Tumorboard at the University Hospital Erlangen. Using these files a Genomic Instability Score was bioinformatically deducted (R-based scripts, e.g. ASCAT, scarHRD) based upon the presence of three parameteres "Loss of Heterozygosity, LOH", "Large Scale Transitions, LST" and "Telomeric Allelic Imbalances, TAIs". The associated manuscript is published in International Journal of Cancer, IJC.

• Genetic Predictors of Ibrutinib-Related Cardiovascular Side Effects in Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

  The goal of this study was to identify genetic polymorphisms associated with ibrutinib-related cardiovascular side effects (CVSEs). This is an observational non-interventional pharmacogenomic study of 50 patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (NDCLL or RRCLL) receiving ibrutinib 420 mg for at least six months. The ibrutinib-related CVSEs included atrial fibrillation and hypertension, which occurred in 20% of patients. DNA obtained from buccal swabs was genotyped for 40 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GATA4, SGK1, KCNQ1, KCNA5, NPPA, and SCN5A using a customized next generation sequencing panel. It was found that GATA4 rs804280 AA (P =.043), KCNQ1 rs163182 GG (P =.036) and KCNQ1 rs2237895 AA (P =.023) were associated with the ibrutinib-related CVSEs. Patients with a high-risk score had at least two of the three significant risk genotypes identified in univariate analysis for GATA4 rs804280 A>C, KCNQ1 rs162182 G>C and KCNQ1 rs2237895 A>C, and patients with a low-risk score had either one or none of these genotypes. In multivariate analysis, 18 patients with at least two of the three high-risk genotypes had an 11.5-fold higher odds of CVSEs (P =.019; 1.79-119.73 at 95% CI).

• Identification of Cancer Predisposition Genes in Breast Cancer Families

  Breast cancer has a significant genetic component. The strongest epidemiologic risk factor is family history of the disease. Familial studies have identified a number of genes contributing to increased risk. Of these, the highly penetrant BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes account for the majority of families in whom disease-causal mutations have been identified. However, mutations in other genes have been associated with predisposition to breast or breast and ovarian cancer including (CHEK2, ATM, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D). Together these genes account for less than 20% of excess familial breast cancer risk and do not explain ~50% of high-risk families referred for genetic testing. This significant gap in our understanding of the genetic basis of breast cancer poses a significant barrier to our ability to identify women at increased risk, who would benefit greatly from appropriate clinical management. To identify additional breast cancer predisposition genes whole exome sequencing of familial high-risk breast cancer patients was undertaken. DNA samples from 50 pairs of breast cancer patients from high-risk breast cancer families with no pathogenic mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 breast cancer predisposition genes were subjected to whole exome sequencing. The goal was to select candidate predisposition genes for further validation studies based on sharing of putative protein inactivating mutations among both members of each family and/or the frequency of inactivating mutations among the 50 families.

• Non-invasive human skin transcriptome analysis using mRNA in skin surface lipids

  Non-invasive acquisition of mRNA data from the skin can be extremely useful for understanding skin physiology and diseases. Inspired by the holocrine process, in which the sebaceous glands secrete cell contents into the sebum, we focused on the possible presence of mRNAs in skin surface lipids (SSLs). We found that measurable levels of human mRNAs exist in SSLs, where the sebum protects them from degradation by RNases. The AmpliSeq transcriptome analysis was modified to measure SSL-RNA levels, and our results revealed that the SSL-RNAs predominantly comprised mRNAs derived from sebaceous glands, the epidermis, and hair follicles. Analysis of SSL-RNAs non-invasively collected from patients with atopic dermatitis revealed significantly increased expression of inflammation-related genes and decreased expression of terminal-differentiation���related genes, consistent with the results of previous reports. Further, we found that lipid-synthesis���related genes were downregulated in the sebaceous glands of patients with atopic dermatitis. These results indicate that the analysis of SSL-RNAs is a promising strategy to understand the pathophysiology of skin diseases.
