• Exome_Sequencing__to_Identify_Causes_of_Leukaemia_Predisposing_Congenital_Neutropenias

  The objective of this study is to identify the causative genes in two unrelated congenital neutropenia families. We aim to whole exome sequence the affected individuals, unaffected siblings and parents in both cases in an effort to idenitfy the causative genetic mutation. Exome capture will be performed using Agilent SureSelect system. Subsequently, exome libraries will sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq platform. Sequence variant calling will be done in house and common variants excluded using public databases and data from unaffected family members.

• Targeted sequencing of brain expressed miRNA genes

  As regulators of gene expression, microRNAs (miRNAs) are likely to play an important role in the development of disease. In this study we present a large-scale strategy to identify miRNAs with a role in the regulation of neuronal processes by screening 289 brain expressed miRNAs. Thereby we found variant rs7861254 located near the MIR204 gene to be significantly associated with schizophrenia. This variant resulted in reduced expression of miR-204 in neuronal-like SH-SY5Y cells.

• A Comparative Analysis of Algorithms for Somatic SNV Detection in Cancer

  Four recently published algorithms for the detection of somatic SNV sites in matched cancer-normal sequencing datasets are VarScan, SomaticSniper, JointSNVMix and Strelka. In this analysis, we apply these four SNV calling algorithms to cancer- normal Illumina exome sequencing of a chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patient. The candidate SNV sites returned by each algorithm are filtered to remove likely false positives, then characterised and compared to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of each SNV calling algorithm.

• Genomic_landscape_of_liver_cirrhosis

  We are interested in the genomic landscape of liver cirrhosis and its potential manifestations for liver physiology and risk for hepatocellular carcinoma. Previous work in CASM has shown that there is a strong element of clonality within cirrhotic nodules and that some recurring mutations have been identified. However how this relates to the overall liver is not known and therefore by taking geographically disparate biospies, we aim to correlate our findings and make conclusions as to the characteristics of the overall genomic landscape.

• ENU_LS_411N_TripleTherapy

  BRAF V600E colorectal cancers do not respond to the only currently FDA approved targeted therapy for CRC. There is currently a trial underway in the UK recruiting V600E CRC patients for treatment with a triple therapy combination of Cetuximab, Trametinib and Dabrafenib. We have mutagenized a pool of V600E CRC cell lines and treated with this triple therapy to select out drug resistant clones. We will now sequence these drug resistant clones with the aim of identifying common point mutations engendering resistance to this new therapy.

• Chromosome contacts in activated T cells identify autoimmune disease-candidate genes

  Autoimmune disease-associated DNA variants are preferentially found in regions with putative regulatory function in immune cells, particularly CD4+ T cells. Linking such regulatory elements to gene promoters in disease-relevant cells and contexts is essential to identify disease candidate genes. Here we show that the activation of CD4+ T cells invokes changes in the activity of regulatory elements and transcription of RNAs that correspond to changes in the expression of their interacting genes identified by promoter capture Hi-C (PCHi-C).

• RNA sequencing in blood samples of cluster headache patients

  Cluster headache is a relatively rare headache disorder, typically characterized by multiple daily, short-lasting attacks of excruciating, unilateral (peri-)orbital or temporal pain associated with autonomic symptoms and restlessness. To better understand the pathophysiology of cluster headache, we used RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes and pathways in whole blood of patients with episodic (n = 19) or chronic (n = 20) cluster headache in comparison with headache-free controls (n = 20). Blood samples were subjected to globin reduction before sequencing.

• Acquiring and sequencing of all 24 single human chromosomes

  Haplotype phased whole genome sequencing of individuals is a technical challenge when family members are unavailable for determining chromosome of origin and variant linkage. Completely phasing genome sequences with single chromosomes has been shown to be feasible however amplifying all the single chromosomes for subsequent whole genome sequencing has been proposed but not performed to date. We acquired single chromosome of one of each of the autosomes and sex chromosomes to assess the feasibility of this sequencing library template preparation process.

• Whole exome sequencing identifies clinically relevant mutational signatures in resected hepatocellular carcinoma

  We conducted a multicentre pilot study on patients with localized HCC following complete radiological response to surgical resection. Patients received 250 mg oral gefitinib once daily as adjuvant therapy, up to a maximum of 6 months. The clinical endpoints included recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS), and correlative genetic analyses were conducted from whole exome sequencing data (n=33). All statistical analyses were carried out on an intention-to-treat basis. The study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00282100).

• Cold Ischemia Study

  This study aimed to evaluate the impact of cold ischemia time on the expression of cancer-related genes, particularly those involved in hypoxia, apoptosis, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We performed RNA sequencing on 54 normal colon mucosa samples from nine patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgeries, freezing samples at predefined intervals ranging from 0 to 60 minutes. A total of 44 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (p < 0.05) were identified when comparing samples frozen immediately (T0) with those frozen after 60 minutes (T5).

• Genomic and transcriptomic landscape of T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma compared to T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia: similar subtypes and different fusions

  Due to the lower incidence of T-LBL and difficulties in obtaining diagnostic T-LBL material, extensive research on T-LBL has been hampered whereas genetic aberrations in T-ALL are thoroughly characterized. Given the similarities and differences between T-LBL and T-ALL, the question has been raised whether T-LBL and T-ALL represent two different diseases or different manifestations of the same disease. This study aims to identify the genomic and transcriptomic landscape of T-LBL and compare the findings to what is found T-ALL. Comparison of the molecular aberrations between T-LBL and T-ALL can provide insights into the overlap and differences in malignant development between the two entities, which could lead to improved risk stratification in T-LBL in order to eventually adapt T-LBL treatment protocols based on molecular-genetic prognostic factors.

• Conserved interferon-gamma signaling and decreased immune exclusion programs in responses to immune checkpoint blockade therapy_CM38-RNA

  We analyzed baseline and on-therapy tumor biopsies from 101 patients with advanced melanoma treated with nivolumab (anti-PD-1) alone or combined with ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4). Analysis of whole transcriptome data showed that T cell infiltration and interferon-gamma signaling signatures corresponded most highly with clinical response to therapy, with a reciprocal decrease in cell cycle and WNT signaling pathways in responding biopsies. Clinical outcome differences were likely not due to differential melanoma cell responses to interferon-gamma, as 57 human melanoma cell lines exposed in vitro to this cytokine showed a conserved interferon-gamma transcriptome response unless they had mutations that precluded signaling from the interferon-gamma receptor. Therefore, the magnitude of the antitumor T cell response and the corresponding downstream interferon-gamma signaling are the main drivers of clinical response or resistance to immune checkpoint blockade therapy.

• NHLBI GO-ESP: Heart Cohorts Exome Sequencing Project (Siblings with Ischemic Stroke Study, SWISS)

  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 Siblings with Ischemic Stroke Study (SWISS) is an affected sibpair (ASP) study of patients and their brothers/sisters who have had similar strokes. The study was conducted to determine the genes that contribute to an individual's risk of developing an ischemic stroke (a stroke due to sudden interruption of blood flow to a part of the brain). Over 600 people have participated in SWISS, with the coordination of the recruitment and flow of the samples occurring at the Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, under the direction of James F. Meschia, MD. The University of Virginia (Stephen S. Rich, PhD) served as the analytic site for the genetic data. Participants were excluded from SWISS if they had stroke following an invasive cerebrovascular or cardiovascular procedure, if their stroke occurred shortly following an aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage, if the stroke occurred in the setting of a mechanical aortic or mitral valve, if the patient had definite CNS vasculitis or if the patient had a Mendelian mitochondrial stroke disorder, including CADASIL, MELAS, Fabry disease, sickle cell anemia or homocysteinemia. For the NHLBI ESP, the youngest 51 ASPs (102 individuals) from SWISS were selected to undergo exome sequencing. These ASPs were selected from among all SWISS participants, excluding those pedigrees with individuals who had TOAST subtypes of stroke of other etiology or of stroke with undetermined etiology. In addition, the affected siblings were required to have the same TOAST subtype (both small vessel (lacunar) or both large vessel (atherosclerotic)). Of those selected, 98 samples passed initial quality control metrics, and 94 completed exome sequencing and were deposited in dbGaP. An additional set of 590 samples from the SWISS collection has been genotyped on the ExomeChip that contained a subset of rare/infrequent variants identified by exome sequencing. These samples include 495 affected individuals (from multiple affected family members) as well as 95 unaffected family members. These genetic and phenotypic data also will reside in dbGaP.

• Kids First: Whole Genome Sequencing in Structural Defects of the Neural Tube

  Myelomeningocele (aka meningomyelocele, MM) is the most severe form of spina bifida, a neural tube defect (NTD) in humans and the most common CNS birth defect. MM is considered a genetically complex disease, and occurs in 3.72/10,000 live US birth, and is partly preventable with prenatal folate, but the genetic basis and the mechanisms by which folate work to reduce disease incidence remain obscure. MM is associated nearly uniformly with prenatal hydrocephalus and the Arnold-Chiari malformation, as well as paraplegia and lifelong neuromotor disability. The genes for several rare syndromic forms of NTDs are known, but the causes for the majority with sporadic MM remain unknown. Despite the importance of MM, most previous research has been limited to targeted sequencing and association studies of folate metabolism genes, or very small-scale exome sequencing. We hypothesize that de novo mutations (DNMs) produce likely gene disrupting (LGD) events that contribution to MM risk. Using conservative estimates of between 50-100 recurrently mutated discoverable genes contributing to risk, and our preliminary data demonstrating an excess of LGD DNMs in MM compared with control individuals, we estimate that with a cohort size of 1000 trios, we should uncover between 5-20 new recurrently mutated genes underlying MM, with minimal false-discovery. With this in mind, we formed the Spina Bifida Sequencing Consortium, and established a platform for data and sample sharing. Preliminary analysis of our first batch of 100 trios analyzed by WGS from GMKF suggests a wealth of important gene mutations. We have embarked on a new recruitment effort of an additional cohort of 400 new simplex MM trios, in collaboration with the US Spina Bifida Association, consented trios to allow for data sharing, and have performed detailed sample quality control. We also have preliminary data that use of dried bloodspot DNA from trios performs comparably to whole blood DNA, so will be happy to swap saliva for bloodspot recruitment at NIH's preference. This cohort is now half-way assembled, with the remaining cohort to be ascertained in the next 6 months. We have established a workflow for de novo SNP/INDEL/SV detection from WGS and have ample computer storage and nodes to see the project to completion. We also plan to continue recruitment into the future with the goal of 2000 trios in the next 5 years. We propose a detailed bioinformatics workflow to identify gene mutations within a statistical framework, considering detailed scRNA expression profiling from developing mammalian neural tube, and have developed a robust functional validation workflow using Xenopus and mouse gene targeting. Our project has the potential to uncover a host of causes for this most common of the CNS birth defects, paving the way for future breakthroughs in detection, treatment, and prevention.

• CTSP: Clinical Trial Sequencing Project

  For the Clinical Trials Sequencing Project (CTSP), National Cancer Institute (NCI) will utilize whole genome sequencing and/or whole exome sequencing in conjunction with transcriptome sequencing to try to identify recurrent genetic alterations (mutations, deletions, amplifications, rearrangements) and/or gene expression signatures that would be important to the hypothesis(es) submitted by the investigators. The samples will be processed and submitted for genomic characterization using pipelines and procedures established within The Cancer Genome Analysis (TCGA) project. Data analysis will be performed as a collaboration between the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) Group and its investigators submitting the proposal. The investigators at the NCI-sponsored Genomic Data Analysis Center (GDAC) will characterize the samples. The NCTN Group will be responsible for providing the clinical data needed for the proposal to the open clinical system maintained by NCI CCG's Biospecimen Core Resource (BCR) at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. The project team (Network Group/investigators and GDAC) will analyze the data together. Additionally, clinical and genomic data related to the analyses will also need to be registered by NCI and will be made available to qualified researchers via a controlled-access database (e.g., dbGaP) upon publication of the primary analysis described in the study proposal.

• The Pioneer 100 Wellness Project (P100)

  108 individuals (age 21-89+ years; 59% males, 41% females; 89% Caucasian; not recruited based on any specific phenotype) participated in an IRB-approved study from April 2014 to January 2015. Each individual had the genome sequenced in full. Blood was collected in clinics every three months. Additionally, participants completed at-home collections of saliva, stool, and first morning void urine every three months. Stool and saliva samples were shipped directly to the vendor by the participant, while urine was given back to the study coordinators for distribution to the proper sample vendor. For each successful participant in each round we carried out 218 clinical laboratory tests, measured up to 643 metabolites and 262 proteins, and measured the abundance of 4616 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in the gut microbiome using 16S rRNA sequencing. The P100 study had four objectives: 1) Establish cost-efficient procedures for generating, storing and analyzing multiple sources of health data obtained over time from participants and analyzed in combination with genomic data; 2) Develop and deploy analytic tools for integrating these diverse datasets and deriving actionable information from their observed interrelationships; 3) Identify novel patterns within the streams of health data that indicate either wellness, or transitions between wellness and disease; 4) Learn how to best interface with and present longitudinal health information to individuals by studying the reactions and feedback from participants as they are presented actionable information.

• Genetics of Disorders Affecting Tooth Structure, Number, Morphology and Eruption

  The long-term objective of this research project is to discover the complete spectrum of genes that contribute to the etiologies of genetic disorders of dentition. Inherited tooth defects can be isolated (the only symptom) or syndromic (having additional symptoms), and can be caused by mutations in many different genes. Clinically, it can be difficult to distinguish among the diverse forms. Making an accurate diagnosis would be greatly improved if reliable tests could identify the specific genetic defect that causes the disease in each case. Current technology can identify the numerous sequence variations throughout a patient's exome, but the disease-causing variation among them cannot be identified unless it is already on the list of genes that potentially cause the disease. A diagnosis based upon the genetic defect that causes the disorder distinguishes between isolated and syndromic tooth defects. A precise diagnosis permits formulation of a more accurate prognosis, which informs treatment decisions. The benefits of accomplishing our aims are to 1) enable genetic testing to achieve a precise and accurate diagnosis, and thereby optimize treatment, and 2) improve our understanding of normal and pathological tooth formation, leading to future improvements in treatment and eventually cures. Our short-term objectives are to 1) recruit kindreds with inherited disorders affecting their dentition, characterize their dental phenotype (and non-dental phenotypes when applicable) and the distribution of the disorder throughout the family, and 2) determine the genetic etiology of their disorders.

• A Natural History Study of CMT1B, CMT2A, CMT4A and CMT4C

  Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT) is an umbrella term that covers any inherited peripheral neuropathy. People with CMT have a problem with the nerves that go to the feet and hands that cause muscle and sensation loss, as well as difficulty with balance. There are at least forty genes that, when mutated, cause CMT. The purpose of this study is to look at the natural history of CMT to see how it changes over time. Particular emphasis will be put on studying people with CMT1B, CMT2A, CMT4A, and CMT4C, though all people with CMT are encouraged to participate. Participants are invited back on a yearly basis to determine how the changes are occurring. Objectives: Determine the natural history and genotype-phenotype correlations of disease-causing mutations in CMT1B, CMT2A, CMT4A and CMT4C as well as other forms of CMT Determine the capability of the newly developed CMTPeds score and the Minimal Dataset to measure impairment and perform longitudinal measurements in patients with multiple forms of CMT over a ten-year window This is a longitudinal study of individuals with CMT. Study participants will be invited to be re-evaluated every year. Evaluations will consist of neurological histories and examinations, selected nerve conduction studies (NCS) as well as completion of assorted clinical outcome measures including the CMTNS, Minimal Dataset, and Peds CMT Scale. Selected CMT patients and controls will also receive glabrous skin biopsies.

• International Consortium on the Genetics of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLEGEN)

  The genetic makeup of an individual strongly influences the risk of developing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The identification of genes that predispose an individual to SLE will lead to earlier and better diagnosis, better treatments, and possibly prevention. To this end, the International Consortium on the Genetics of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLEGEN) was formed in 2005 and is composed of lupus researchers who agreed to pool their knowledge and resources to search for genes that predispose to lupus. Eight laboratories contributed DNA samples for genotyping at the Broad Institute and association with SLE was performed by the Data Coordinating Center (Wake Forest University), as part of a four stage study design. Stages one and two of this design were graciously funded by the Alliance for Lupus Research (www.lupusresearch.org). In this stage of the study, approximately 767 SLE patients (cases) were compared to approximately 383 non-SLE patients (controls) for differences among the Illumina HumanHap300. The affected individuals are all females of European decent. 82% of the cases are the index case from multiplex pedigrees for SLE and the remaining 18% have self-reported first degree relatives with SLE. A detailed summary of the methods and results can be found in the manuscript in Nature Genetics February 2008 by SLEGEN "Genome-wide association scan in women with systemic lupus erythematosus identifies susceptibility variants ITGAM, PXK, KIAA1542 and other loci".

• Phenotype Risk Scores Identify Patients with Unrecognized Mendelian Disease Patterns

  This study was designed to assess the phenotypic effects of rare variants. Rare variants are difficult to study in a high-throughput manner because most cohorts are underpowered to detect associations. In order to gain power to test rare variants, we use Phenotype Risk Scores (PheRS) based on features of Mendelian diseases. PheRS is calculated using claims data from an EHR that is mapped to clinical features from OMIM's clinical descriptions of Mendelian disease. We calculated PheRS for 1,204 Mendelians diseases in a cohort of 21,701 individuals genotyped on the HumanExome BeadChip. We then tested for association between these diseases and rare variants in causal genes. A phenotype risk score is calculated as the weighted sum of features for a given disease. The features are defined as a set of phecodes (consolidated ICD codes) associated with a particular Mendelian disease as described in OMIM. The weights for each phecode are calculated as the log inverse prevalence of the phecode in our cohort. For an individual, their score equals the sum of the weights for each phecode that is present in their medical record. Our study was based on a cohort of individuals with genotype data linked to de-identified electronic health records (EHR) from Vanderbilt's BioVU resource. We hope that this method will help generate phenotype-genotype correlation data on rare variants which in turn may inform rare variant interpretations use for diagnostics.
