• Strand-seq data of primary acute myeloid leukemia patient samples with complex karyotype

  In this study, we aimed to identify somatic structural variation of acute myeloid leukemia with complex karyotype (CK-AML) at the single-cell level and to investigate its direct consequence on the nucleosome occupancy using scNOVA approach. For this purpose, we performed strand-specific single-cell sequencing of primary leukemia samples from four CK-AML patients. We also performed strand-specific single-cell sequencing of two patient-derived xenografts (PDXs).

• Autosomal recessive CD70 deficiency is associated with combined immunodeficiency and EBV viremia

  We describe four patients from two unrelated families of different ethnicities who had primary immunodeficiency predominantly manifesting as susceptibility to EBV-related diseases. We performed whole exome sequencing (P1 and P2 from family 1) or whole genome sequencing (P4 and both parents from family 2) in those two families and identified homozygous frameshift or in-frame deletions in CD70 in these patients which abolished either CD70 surface expression or binding to its counter structure CD27. Sanger sequencing identified the same homozygous CD70 mutation in P3, which is not included in the dbGaP submission. Autosomal recessive CD70 deficiency is a novel cause of combined immunodeficiency and EBV-associated diseases, reminiscent of CD27 deficiency.

• Enhancer Mapping in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

  In this study we profile the epigenomic enhancer landscapes of CLL B cells (CD19+/CD5+) harvested from peripheral blood of patients from our Center. Included are results of ChIPseq profiling using chromatin immunoprecipitation of the enhancer histone mark H3K27ac (acetylated lysine 27 on histone H3), and open chromatin profiles using ATAC-seq (assay for transposase accessible chromatin). These profiles are used to define the global enhancer and super enhancer landscape of CLL B cells, and to derive active transcription factor networks associated with this disease. Also included are H3K27ac ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq datasets for non-CLL B cells obtained from the peripheral blood of normal adult donors.

• Human Companion Data for 'A Transcriptomic Atlas of Mouse Cerebellar Cortex Reveals Novel Cell Types'

  In this study, we used single-nucleus RNA-seq to comprehensively define the cell specialization of the mouse cerebellar cortex and vermis. We focused in particular on two interneuron populations—the unipolar brush cells (UBCs) and the molecular layer interneurons (MLIs), identifying continuous variation within the former population, and a new discrete axis of variation in the latter. Human postmortem tissue was used to demonstrate that these specializations are evolutionarily conserved in primates. Together, these findings provide the first comprehensive cellular atlas of the cerebellar cortex, and outline a methodological and conceptual framework for the integration of molecular, morphological, and physiological ontologies for defining brain cell types.

• International Consortium for Blood Pressure (ICBP)

  The ICBP consortium is an international effort to investigate blood-pressure genetics. The consortium was formed by two parent consortia, the CHARGE-BP consortium (Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology - blood pressure) and the GBPGEN consortium (Global Blood Pressure Genetics Consortium). In 2011 we performed genome-wide association analyses based on genome-wide SNPs imputed to HapMap for systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure (MAP and PP). In 2016 we performed an analysis based on the Cardio-MetaboChip for SBP and DBP. All these datasets are available here, however, full association statistics including effect size directions, only under controlled access by dbGaP.

• The Genomic Analysis of Medulloblastoma

  Medulloblastoma is a heterogenous disease made up of at least four distinct subtypes of disease which appear to exploit and disrupt naturally occurring developmental pathways of cellular growth and hindbrain development. To better understand the driver mutations of this disease, we performed whole genome sequencing of 37 medulloblastomas and the corresponding normal DNA of the 37 affected children treated at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. We have found several novel mutations which appear subtype specific. These mutations were checked for frequency in a separate tumor cohort of 56 children with medulloblastoma, also treated on the St. Jude Medulloblastoma 2003 trial, and were tested in several animal models of medulloblastoma for proof of oncogenic potential.

• Genomic Psychiatry Cohort (GPC) Whole Genome Sequencing and Genotyping Study

  The Center for Genomic Psychiatry at the University of Southern California (USC), SUNY Downstate and an extensive network of academic medical centers have created the Genomic Psychiatry Cohort (GPC). The GPC consists of a large clinical cohort of patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and healthy controls. The data generation of genotyping and whole genome sequencing of the GPC has been done in collaboration with the USC and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Genome-wide association studies are being performed with the samples to identify genetic risks for psychiatric disease. Genotyping is also being used to determine ancestry informative markers and replication of candidate genes. Whole genome sequencing identifies functional variants associated with disease risk.

• 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.

• The Genomics of Pilocytic Astrocytoma Formation in Neurofibromatosis Type 1

  Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) inherited cancer predisposition syndrome is one of the most common autosomal dominant tumor predisposition syndromes in which affected individuals develop brain tumors. These low-grade glial neoplasms (pilocytic astrocytomas) typically arise in children younger than 7 years of age and are hypothesized to result from a combination of germline and acquired somatic NF1 tumor suppressor gene mutations. In this study, whole genome sequence analysis was performed on three NF1-associated pilocytic astrocytoma tumors (NF1-PA) and matched normal blood samples to establish the genomic landscape of NF1-PA. These data support the existence of multiple distinct mechanisms (mutation, LOH, and methylation) underlying somatic NF1 inactivation in NF1-PA tumors.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Neutralizing Antibodies against West Nile Virus Identified Directly from Human B Cells by Single-Cell Analysis and Next Generation Sequencing

  West Nile virus (WNV) infection is a mosquito-borne disease that can cause severe neurological illness. We analyzed the humoral response to WNV of subjects infected with WNV at different stages of the infection and at different levels of detail, from single cells to the repertoire level. We integrated single-cell analysis by microengraving with next-generation sequencing and identified four novel WNV neutralizing antibodies with potential use as therapeutics against WNV infection. The results indicate persistence of WNV-specific memory B cells and antibody-secreting cells in post-convalescent subjects and suggest that the antibody response itself does not predict the clinical severity of the disease.

• 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.

• Improved Detection and Identification of Microsatellite Instability Features in Colorectal Cancer

  In this study, we analyzed a series of colorectal cancers using a new sequencing technology that sequences more than 200 microsatellite regions in parallel. With this technology, we evaluated mono-, di- , tri- and tetranucleotide repeats to provide a broad spectrum of microsatellite instability (MSI) events. This deep sequencing technology provides greater than 2000X coverage and eliminates the need for PCR amplification. Because every read corresponds to a single DNA molecule, we eliminated artifacts introduced by PCR that obscured true MSI events. Also included in our analysis is a new method for detection of somatic copy number changes in 83 cancer genes, with which we can infer chromosomal instability (CIN) status.

• Phylogenetic Analyses of Melanoma Reveal Complex Patterns of Metastatic Dissemination

  Subpopulations of cells in a primary melanoma can disseminate and establish metastases. Still, the precise ancestral relationship between primary tumors and their metastases is not well understood. Using whole-exome sequencing (for discovery) and targeted sequencing (for validation), we analyzed mutation patterns of primary melanomas and two or more metastases in each of 8 patients to determine their phylogenetic relationships, profiling a total of 31 total tumors. The resulting data show that in 6 of 8 cases, genetically unique cell populations in the primary metastasized in parallel to distinct anatomic sites, rather than sequentially. These data also indicate that individual metastases were sometimes founded by multiple cell populations of the primary that were genetically distinct.

• Genetic contributions of lupus nephritis in a multi-ethnic cohort of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

  Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and it occurs at a much higher rate in patients that are not of European descent. The purpose of this study is to identify genetic variants contributing to the risk of LN in a multi-ethnic cohort of SLE patients. We used a comprehensive genome-wide screen and 1244 SLE patients from 5 different ethnic groups. In genome-wide gene-based and candidate SNP analyses, we found distinct genes and pathways, and established risk SNPs associated with lupus nephritis for each ethnic group. This study represents progress in elucidating the genetic underpinnings driving LN among SLE patients of different ethnic groups.

• Whole Exome and RNA Sequencing of 22 Patient-Derived Xenografts from Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancers

  We performed RNA and whole exome sequencing on 22 patient-derived xenografts (PDX) from estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers, in the presence and absence of estradiol (E2) supplementation. Exome coverage across more than 3,500 clinically relevant genes that previously were covered below 20X (~2.72Mb) was achieved. On average, 11.2Gb of unique sequence data were generated with 95.3% of the bases in the exome design covered to 20x read depth or greater. RNA sequencing was generated from xenograft tumors. Between 50 and 85M total reads were performed. The average strand-specificity and rRNA rate was 98% and 1.5%, respectively. Transcripts for 17,000 to 27,087 genes were detected in these samples.

• Amplicon sequencing of various tumors

  In our previous studies on advanced esophageal, gastric, and colorectal carcinomas, measurement of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in terms of variant allele frequency (VAF) in blood suggested: (1) patients with high VAF have a high chance of relapse; (2) VAF changes in response to treatment; and (3) ctDNA VAF elevation precedes imaging diagnosis of relapse. It is thus necessary to investigate whether these findings can be generalized in a wide cancer spectrum, types of treatment, and relapse phenotypes across cancer types. In the present study, we conduct a non-interventional observational study in a wide cancer spectrum on the basis of technical establishment for ctDNA using our unique digital PCR probe library.

• CAGE analysis for non-small cell lung carcinoma

  Targeted therapies based on the molecular and histological features of cancer types are becoming standard practice. The most effective regimen in lung cancers is different between squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AD). Therefore a precise diagnosis is crucial, but this has been difficult, particularly for poorly differentiated SCC (PDSCC) and AD without a lepidic growth component (non-lepidic AD). Biomarkers enabling a precise diagnosis are therefore urgently needed. To achieve this goal, we performed CAGE (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression) to quantify promoter activities on 97 frozen tissues from surgically resected lung cancers (22 SCC and 75 AD). The result was followed up by by immunohistochemical analysis (IHC) in an independent group.

• The role of gut microbiota in metabolic diseases

  Diabetes is a major disease in the elderly and is responsible for increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. Recently, the relationship between microbiota and diabetes has been reported in animals and humans. In this study, blood, stool, and saliva samples were collected from examinees at the University of Tokyo Health Screening Center, and 16S rRNA and metagenomic analyses were performed to determine the variation of microbiota. Furthermore, metabolome analysis and transcriptome analysis (CAGE analysis) using blood were performed to reveal changes in host metabolites and gene expression. By comparing the host- and bacteria- derived information with the metabolic parameters, we analyzed whether microbiota can be a predictor of metabolic diseases.

• Genetics of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in Japan

  Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a common hematological malignancy. Treatment with standard chemotherapy results in long-term remission in approximately 60% of patients. Whole-exome sequencing studies of large DLBCL cohorts revealed the biological diversity of tumors and facilitated the identification of genetic subtypes based on genetic alterations. Despite the progress facilitated by NGS, genetic classification is difficult to apply in clinical practice because of the complexity of the clustering algorithm. Furthermore, only a few reports included large Asian cohorts. Thus, a genetic overview of Japanese patients with DLBCL is still needed. Thus, in this study, we aimed to establish the clinical application of our simplified genetic classification algorithm in Japanese DLBCL.

• Impact of cryopreservation on transcriptome analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells

  To investigate the effect of cryopreservation on PBMCs, we conducted an experiment using samples from three healthy donors under four conditions: fresh PBMCs, PBMCs subjected to a single freeze–thaw cycle, PBMCs refrozen in freezing mix, and PBMCs refrozen in TRIzol. This resulted in a total of 12 samples (three replicates per condition). RNA was extracted from all PBMC samples using the Qiagen miRNeasy Mini Kit, followed by polyA RNA sequencing on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. Blood was collected from one male and two female adult donors. Sequencing yielded high-quality data, with an average of 27.8 million reads per sample and over 94% of bases exceeding a Q30 quality score.

• Emirati T2T Assembly

  This study generates a telomere-to-telomere (T2T) trio-based genome assembly for a female Emirati individual, creating a high-quality reference representative of an understudied population. We produced multi-platform sequencing for a single family trio: PacBio HiFi (>60× per parent, >120× offspring), ONT ultra-long reads (>110× offspring), and Illumina short-read WGS (>100× for all three). The offspring genome was assembled in a trio framework to leverage parental information for accurate phasing and error resolution. Scaffolding and finishing utilized NTLink for initial scaffolding, RagTag for reference-guided refinement, and Quartett for gap filling, resulting in a contiguous, population-relevant assembly suitable for downstream variant discovery and pangenome integration.

• Transcriptomic profiles of early and late passage metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) tumoroids

  The breadth and depth at which cancer models are interrogated contribute to successful translation of drug discovery efforts to the clinic. In colorectal cancer (CRC), model availability is limited by a dearth of large-scale collections of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) and paired tumoroids from metastatic disease, the setting where experimental therapies are typically tested. XENTURION is a unique open-science resource that combines a platform of 129 PDX models and a sister platform of 129 matched PDX-derived tumoroids (PDXTs) from patients with metastatic CRC, with accompanying multidimensional molecular and therapeutic characterization. This specific dataset is focused on a comparison of early and late passage tumoroids transcriptomes.

• Single-nuclei histone modification profiling of the adult human central nervous system unveils epigenetic memory of developmental programs

  Here, we profile the adult human CNS from distinct regions, sex and ages, for chromatin accessibility at the single-nuclei level. Tissue was collected from 20 different donors (10 male, 10 female) within the ages of 34 to 74 years old. Each donor donated fresh frozen white matter from the following three tissue regions: primary motor cortex (Brodmann area 4, BA4), arbor vitae cerebelli (CB) and fasciculi cuneatus and gracilis from and cervical spinal cord (CSC). Tissue was processed semi-randomly, ensuring that each batch of experiments had a representation of both sexes and all three tissue regions. Completed libraries were again randomly multiplexed during sequencing to minimize batch effects.

• Genetic landscape of non-Down syndrome acute megkaryoblastic leukemia

  To define the mutation spectrum in non-Down syndrome acute megkaryoblastic leukemia (non-DS-AMKL), we performed transcriptome sequencing on diagnostic blasts from 14 pediatric patients and validated our findings in a recurrency/validation cohort consisting of 34 pediatric and 28 adult AMKL leukemia samples. Our analysis identified a cryptic chromosome 16 inversion [inv(16)(p13.3q24.3)] in 27% of pediatric cases, which encodes a CBFA2T3-GLIS2 fusion protein. Expression of CBFA2T3-GLIS2 in Drosophila and murine hematopoietic cells induced bone morphogenic protein (BMP) signaling, and resulted in a marked increase in the self-renewal capacity of hematopoietic progenitors. These data suggest that expression of CBFA2T3-GLIS2 directly contributes to leukemogenesis.

• A Combined Omics and Tissue Biobank for Paediatric Cancers

  The Swedish Childhood Tumour Biobank (BTB) is a nonprofit national infrastructure for samples and genomic data collection from pediatric patients diagnosed with central nervous system and other solid tumours in Sweden. Fresh frozen tumour tissue and patient’s matched blood are collected from affected patients and genomic data is continuously generated and made available for approved medical research projects. We expect that the accessibility of biological samples and/or data to the research community will contribute to further advances in the understanding of tumour biology, which in turn will impact many aspects of clinical care of children with cancer, by refining diagnosis and/or identifying oncogenic drivers and therapeutic targets.

• MATISSE Whole-exome sequencing data

  Sample availability: WES was performed on 41 available baseline tumor and blood samples (22 CCRs/MPRs, 5 PPRs, 14 CRN/NPRs). Tumor DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) primary tumor and lymph node metastasis sections containing at least 10% viable tumor cells present in the sample. A pathologist (LS) scored the tumor percentage and indicated the most tumor-dense region on a hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain slide for subsequent DNA isolation. According to the manufacturer's protocol, five to 10 FFPE slides (10 µm) were used for DNA isolation using the AllPrep DNA FFPE isolation kit (Qiagen, 80234) and the QIAcube. Germline DNA was isolated from baseline PBMCs using the AllPrep DNA / RNA / miRNA Universal isolation kit (Qiagen, 80224) and the QIAcube, according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Genetic Diagnostics and Sequencing Services (CeGaT) performed whole-exome sequencing sequencing in Germany. Data processing: Demultiplexing of the sequencing reads was performed with Illumina bcl2fastq (v2.20). Adapters of the reads were trimmed with Skewer (v0.2.2), without quality trimming. Sequencing reads were aligned with BWA (v0.7.17) to the human reference genome GRCh38 (Ensemble, v105). Duplicated reads were marked using Picard (v2.25.0) MarkDuplicates, after which quality scores were recalibrated using GATK4 (4.2.2.0) BaseRecalibrator. FastQC (v0.12.1), MultiQC (v1.14), Mosdepth (v0.3.3) and NGScheckmate (v1.0.1) were used for assessing data quality, on FASTQ files and intermediate processing steps.

• 33 patients with Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS)

  Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a premalignant precursor of multiple myeloma (MM) with a 1% risk of progression per year. Although targeted analyses have shown the presence of specific genetic abnormalities such as IGH translocations, RB1 deletion, 1q gain, hyperdiploidy or RAS genes mutations, little is known about molecular mechanism of malignant transformation. We have performed whole exome sequencing together with SNP array analysis in 33 flow-cytometry separated abnormal PC samples of MGUS patients to describe somatic gene mutations and chromosome changes at the genome-wide level. Non-synonymous mutations (NS-SNVs) and copy number alterations (CNAs) were present in 97.0% and in 63.6% of cases, respectively. Importantly, the number of somatic mutations was significantly lower in MGUS compared to MM (p<10-4) and we have identified 6 myeloma significantly mutated genes which are KRAS, NRAS, DIS3, HIST1H1E, EGR1 and LTB in the MGUS dataset. We also found a positive correlation with increasing chromosome changes and somatic mutations. IGH translocations were present in 27.3% of cases comprising t(4;14), t(11;14), t(14;16) or t(14;20) and were in a similar frequency to MM, which corresponded with primary lesion hypothesis. Data from this study showed MGUS is a genetically comprehensive disease, however overall genetic instability is significantly lower compared to MM.

• Targeted replication of LVOTO genes

  Non-syndromic cases of congenital heart defects (CHD) exhibit variable modes of inheritance (Mendelian and non-Mendelian). Several studies have identified strong candidates in humans by taking a candidate gene approach as well as by using whole exome next generation sequencing (NGS). So far these studies could only explain a minor fraction of the observed phenotype in humans, most of them in syndromic cases and no single study has focused on the subset of cases with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). To discover novel disease-causing genes a large cohort of patients with LVOTO, approximately 100 cases, 25 families and 100 trios have been exome sequenced. This study based on NGS sequencing data yielded several known and novel compelling candidate genes, such as MYH6, NR2F2 and MYH11, but also novel ones, such as ITGB4. To evaluate the significance of our findings in a replication cohort we assembled another 1614 cases with an LVOTO phenotype from our collaborators in Toronto, Berlin and Amsterdam. Targeted resequencing in this additional cohort will help to find additional cases with mutations in the identified candidate genes to strengthen genotype-phenotype association. We will use control data from the INTERVAL project for case/control analyses The pulldowns will be performed as 24-plex ISC with 192 or greater indexes, and the sequencing will be performed with 192 samples per lane, requiring 9 lanes of sequencing.

• RNA-seq study of human long-term and short-term hematopoietic stem cells from umblical cord blood with lentiviral overexpression of S1PR3

  To investigate the molecular and biological pathways altered by S1PR3OE in human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), we performed RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of LT- and ST-HSC 3 days after transduction with control or S1PR3 overexpression (OE) lentiviral vectors. LT-HSC and ST-HSC from 3 pool of CB lin- were FACS-purified, cells were prestimulated for 4 hours and transduced with lentiviral vectors. At day 3, 2000-5300 BFP+ cells were FACS-purified for RNA isolation with a PicoPure kit. We were able to isolate only 1600-1800 BFP+ cells from LT-HSC control samples as opposed to 4000-5400 BFP+ cells from S1PR3OE samples. Thus, we pooled all control BFP+ LT-HSC cells into one sample for RNA-seq analysis. BFP- LT-HSC from control vector transduction were purified from CB1 as an additional LT-HSC control. Nextera libraries generated from 10 ng RNA from 5 LT-HSC samples (2 controls, 3 S1PR3OE) and 6 ST-HSC samples (3 controls, 3 S1PR3OE) were subjected to 125 bp, paired-end RNA-sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 with an average of 50 million reads/sample at the Center for Applied Genomics, Sick Kids Hospital.

  Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a major cause of cardiovascular death and disability amongst young adults. Building on a sample collection established for and genotyped in several earlier successful candidate gene studies, this case-control study investigated host genetic susceptibility to RHD using a genome-wide approach. The current dataset comprises over 850 individuals recruited in Uttar Pradesh, India, including cases of RHD based on echocardiographic diagnosis and controls recruited on the basis of normal echocardiograms. For this analysis all available samples were genotyped using the Illumina HumanCore-24 BeadChip platform. Efforts are now underway to establish new sample collections in other areas of India as well as Pakistan and later other neighbouring countries.

• Genetic landscape of pediatric Medulloblastoma

  Medulloblastoma is a heterogenous disease made up of at least four distinct subtypes of disease which appear to exploit and disrupt naturally occurring developmental pathways of cellular growth and hindbrain development. To better understand the driver mutations of this disease, we performed whole genome sequencing of 37 medulloblastomas and the corresponding normal DNA of the 37 affected children treated at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. We have found several novel mutations which appear subtype specific. These mutations were checked for frequency in a separate tumor cohort of 56 children with medulloblastoma, also treated on the St. Jude Medulloblastoma 2003 trial, and were tested in several animal models of medulloblastoma for proof of oncogenic potential.

• Intra-prostatic tumour evolution, steps in metastatic spread and histogenomic associations revealed by integration of multi-region whole genome sequencing with histopathological features

  We performed whole genome sequencing on 42 prostate cancer samples from the prostate, seminal vesicles and regional lymph nodes of five treatment-naive patients with locally advanced disease who underwent radical prostatectomy. Using cancer cell fractions computed from single nucleotide variants and copy number alterations, we reconstructed the tumour phylogenies, which in turn allowed us to infer key molecular steps in the progression of prostate cancer in these individuals. We mapped the clonal composition of cancer sampled across the prostate in each individual and inferred the routes of spread of cancer cells within the prostate and to seminal vesicles and lymph nodes.

• Comprehensive analysis of the (epi)genome of pediatric atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumours (AT/RTs)

  Whole exome sequencing of atypical teratoid /rhabdoid tumors (AT/RTs) revealed recurrent mutations only in SMARCB1, a gene involved in chromatin remodeling. However, preliminary data from our lab using gene expression and DNA methylation arrays shows that there are three distinct molecular subgroups of AT/RTs, suggesting that other molecular alterations underlying the development of these aggressive pediatric brain tumors must be found outside the coding genome or at the epigenomic level. Identification of these (epi)genomic alterations, which we intend to address in this project, may lead to novel treatment strategies for these tumors and reveal options for meaningful patient stratification.

• Exome sequencing to identify predisposition to Wilms tumour

  To identify new Wilms tumor predisposition genes, we performed whole-exome paired-end sequencing of lymphocyte DNA from 12 affected individuals from six unrelated, non-syndromic Wilms tumor families in which known causes had been excluded.We prepared DNA libraries from 1.5 mg blood-derived genomic DNA using the Paired-End DNA Sample Preparation Kit (Ilumina). DNAwas fragmented using Covaris technology and the libraries were prepared without gel size selection. We performed target enrichment using the TruSeq Exome Enrichment Kit (Illumina) by targeting 62 mb of the human genome. The captured DNA libraries were PCR amplified using the supplied paired-end PCR primers.Sequencing was performed with an Illumina HiSeq2000 generating 2?101 bp reads.

• Multiregion Whole Exome sequencing of paediatric High Grade Gliomas and DIPG

  Paediatric High Grade Gliomas (pHGG) are defined by unique, specific and highly recurrent mutations in genes encoding histone H3 variants which mark robust subgroups with distinct age of onset, anatomical distribution, clinical outcome, histopathological and radiological features. We have used whole exome sequencing to identify the main recurrent somatic mutations occurring within pHGG including H3 histones and the coincident mutations and DNA copy number events in order to classify clinically relevant subgroups and the molecular events within them as new targets for therapy. Analysis of sequenced cases revealed multiple tumour subclones, spatially and temporally co-existing in a stable manner as observed by multiple sampling strategies.

• Identifying causative mutations for Thrombocytopenia with Absent Radii

  Thrombocytopenia with Absent Radii is an inherited disorder that manifests itself with major limb skeletal abnormalities and low platelet count (and therefore a bleeding diathesis). The syndrome is well-characterised and defined phenotypically and there is a well-established database of UK-based families affected with ths disorder. The causative mutation for the disorder is yet to be identified. If known, it would allow for pre-natal screening and counselling avoiding life-long care for patients who are affected and are therefore severely disabled. We postulate that exon sequencing of 4 unrelated affected individuals would give enough power to narrow down potential candidate mutations which would thereafter be confirmed using DNA from other affected families.

• Samples from the Greek island of Crete, MANOLIS cohort

  Genome-wide association studies of complex traits have been successful in identifying common variant associations, but a substantial heritability gap remains. The field of complex trait genetics is shifting towards the study of low frequency and rare variants, which are hypothesised to have larger effects. The study of these variants can be empowered by focusing on isolated populations, in which rare variants may have increased in frequency and linkage disequilibrium tends to be extended. This work focuses on isolated populations from Greece. Sequencing is very efficient in isolated populations, because variants found in a few samples will be shared by others in extended haplotype contexts, supporting accurate imputation.

• Gastric_Mutational_Signatures__GMS_

  This study aims to characterise the mutation burdens and signatures of adult stem cells derived from different regions of the stomach in order to gain insight into the causes and preclinical evolution of the diverse cancer subtypes. Clonal populations of cells from different anatomical locations of the stomach will be derived through organoid culture and/or laser microdissection and interrogated by whole genome sequencing and/or targeted pulldown. A total of circa 300 samples from 20 – 30 donors (cancer and non-cancer patients undergoing total/partial gastrectomy) will be analysed for mutational burden and signatures and genomic findings correlated with topology, age, risk factors and different stages of pre-neoplastic or neoplastic progression.
