• Whole Exome Sequencing Identifies

  Combined Immunodeficiency with Multiple Intestinal Atresias (CID-MIA) is a rare genetic disorder with the cause previously unknown. Symptoms of CID-MIA include atresias in the small and/or large intestine, as well as immunodeficiency. In this study, we sequenced the whole exome of 5 unrelated CID-MIA patients as well as their healthy family members, and identified deleterious homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the gene TTC7A in all the 5 patients, as well as in 3 additional patients with Sanger sequencing. Our findings strongly indicate TTC7A dysfunction to be the cause for CID-MIA.

• RNA expression profiling of neuromuscular diseases and viral diseases

  MicroRNAs (miRNAs), particularly those found in human body fluids, have been suggested as potential biomarkers. Among various body fluids, the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shows promise as a profiling target for diagnosis and monitoring of neurological diseases. However, relevant genome-scale studies are limited and no studies have profiled exosomal miRNAs in CSF. Therefore, we conducted a next-generation sequencing-based survey of small RNAs in the exosomal and non-exosomal (supernatant) fractions of healthy human CSF as well as serum in each donor. Our data provided the first landscape of small RNAs in CSF exosome.

• SCI-MAP: Single Cell Microgel embedded iPS-cells to map molecular variability of cell differentiation using a systems biology approach.

  In the SCI-MAP project we will map cell states encountered across a previously established 49 day in vitro chondrogenic differentiation protocol. We do this to optimise the differentiation process for therapeutic and in vitro modelling ends. We collect epigenetic open chromatin and phenotypic transcriptome data to determine cell states and so performed single nucleus sequencing in two modalities: RNA- and ATAC-sequencing. Data was collected in a time series experiment at 7 points: Days 0, 3, 6, 8, 14, 21, and 49, starting with the first pilot data from day 21 (D21).

• ABHD11 inhibition drives sterol metabolism to modulate T cell effector function and alleviate autoimmunity

  Chronic inflammation in autoimmunity is driven by hyperactive T cells with dysregulated metabolism. ABHD11 is a mitochondrial hydrolase that supports alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase function and has been associated with remission in rheumatoid arthritis. To explore its role in T cell function, we used CRISPR/Cas9 to knock down ABHD11 in Jurkat T cells and performed RNA-Seq analysis. Differential gene expression revealed widespread transcriptional changes, with sterol-related pathways among the most significantly enriched. These findings highlight ABHD11 as a potential regulator of metabolic programming in T cells with implications for autoimmunity.

• scRNA-seq of patient-derived PDAC organoids and matched CAFs

  We established direct three-dimensional (3D) co-cultures of primary PDAC organoids and patient-matched CAFs. Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed for three organoid/CAF pairs in mono- and co-culture to uncover transcriptional changes induced by tumor-stroma interaction. Single-cell RNA sequencing data evidenced induction of a pro-inflammatory phenotype in CAFs in co-cultures. Organoids showed increased expression of genes associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in co-cultures and several potential receptor-ligand interactions related to EMT were identified, supporting a key role of CAF-driven induction of EMT in PDAC chemoresistance.

• Genetic Markers of Lipids in Indians: A Validation Study of Most Relevant Findings of Genome-Wide Association Studies

  We aimed to validate the GWAS loci (identified in European populations) related to serum lipid levels (total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C)) in the Indian population originally recruited to examine the 20-year trend of cardiometabolic risk factors in rural and urban areas around National Capital region in India. Isolated DNA was processed for genotyping of 12 established GWAS variants using multiplex Sequenom Mass ARRAY technology. We examined the association of these genetic variants with different lipid levels and found association of eight variants for lipid levels. We also derived weighted genetic risk scores (wGRAS) using the validated variants. The wGRS for triglycerides and VLDL-C was derived based on four associated variants (rs174546 at FADS1, rs17482753 at LPL, rs2293889 at TRPS1, rs4148005 at ABCA8, rs4420638 at APOC1) which was associated with 36.31 mg/dL elevated triglycerides and VLDL-C (β=0.95, SE=0.16, pTRPS1 and rs4147536 at ADH1B) was associated with 40.62 mg/dL higher total cholesterol (β=1.01, SE=0.23, pTRPS1, rs4147536 at ADH1B, rs4420638 at APOC1 and rs660240 at CELSR2). The wGRS derived from five associated variants (rs174546 and FADS1, rs17482753 at LPL, rs4148005 at ABCA8, rs4420638 at APOC1 and rs7832643 at PLEC) was associated with 10.64 mg/dL lower HDL-C (β= -0.87, SE =0.14, pThe phenotypic and genotypic data will be made available on the dbGaP portal for access.

• Genome-Wide Association Study of aspirin-induced PUD in a UK cohort

  Aspirin is a widely prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used as an effective analgesic and at low doses as anti-platelet drug for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. However, aspirin is associated with a significant incidence of upper gastrointestinal (GI) complications, notably peptic ulceration. This study aims to identify genetic risk factors associated with the pathogenesis of aspirin-induced upper GI ulceration.A cohort of 248 patients with aspirin-induced, endoscopiclly confirmed GI ulceration and 491 controls (ulcer, without aspirin or aspirin without ulcer) were genotyped for 1.524,956 SNPs using the Illumina Omni 2.5 SNP array. A replication cohort (206 NSAID-induced ulcer cases [of which 87 were aspirin] and 309 controls) was subsequently genotyped for identified SNP association signals using Sequenom iPLEX Massarry. Logistic regression analysis of identified two SNP signal with suggestive association with aspirin-induced GI ulceration. A SNP within the EYA1 locus (rs12678747) was found to be associated with aspirin GI ulceration in both the discovery cohort (p=3.79x10-7, OR=2.06 ([1.55-2.73]) and, to a lesser extent, in the replication cohort (p=.0005, OR=1.71[1.17-2.50]. Combined analysis of both cohorts yielded a genome wide significant association (p=1.46x10-8). The rs12678747 genotype was found to be associated with significantly higher EYA1 transcript in ulcer biopsy tissue (p<0.05).Data suggest that EYA1 may represent a risk locus for aspirin-induced GI ulceration. Though it is thought that EYA1 may play a key role in mediating cell death/ survival

• Microsatellite data show recent demographic expansions in sedentary but not in nomadic human populations in Africa and Eurasia.

  The transition from hunting and gathering to plant and animal domestication was one of the most important cultural and technological revolutions in human history. According to archeologists and paleoanthropologists, this transition triggered major demographic expansions. However, few genetic studies have found traces of Neolithic expansions in the current repartition of genetic polymorphism, pointing rather toward Paleolithic expansions. Here, we used microsatellite autosomal data to investigate the past demographic history of 87 African and Eurasian human populations with contrasted lifestyles (nomadic hunter-gatherers, semi-nomadic herders and sedentary farmers). Likely due to the combination of a higher mutation rate and the possibility to analyze several loci as independent replicates of the coalescent process, the analysis of microsatellite data allowed us to infer more recent expansions than previous genetic studies, potentially resulting from the Neolithic transition. Despite the variability in their location and environment, we found consistent expansions for all sedentary farmers, while we inferred constant population sizes for all hunter-gatherers and most herders, which could result from constraints linked to a nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyle and/or competition for land between herders and farmers. As an exception, we inferred expansions for Central Asian herders. This might be linked with the arid environment of this area, which may have been more favorable to nomadic herders than to sedentary farmers. Alternatively, current Central Asian herders may descent from populations who have first experienced a transition from hunter-gathering to sedentary agropastoralism, and then a second transition to nomadic herding.

• European BestAgeing Study on microRNA candidates for cardiovascular disease

  Background: Circulating miRNAs have emerged as promising biomarker candidates due to their stability and their role in regulating key pathological pathways in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Yet, large-scale, multicenter studies examining their diagnostic and prognostic potential are scarce. This study evaluates the potential of miRNA expression profiles to inform disease classification and risk stratification across major CVD phenotypes, including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), chronic coronary artery disease (CAD), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), in a large, multicenter European cohort. Methods: We assessed genome-wide miRNA expression profiles in a total of 1,209 cardiovascular patients and 848 controls in a uniform, standardized fashion, which renders this study one of the largest prospective miRNA studies. To focus on only the most biologically plausible miRNAs for clinical translation, we mined all original studies of miRNA candidates in CVD and performed differential miRNA expression and enrichment analysis. We then trained disease-specific binary classification models to evaluate the diagnostic potential of miRNA signatures. Finally, we evaluated prognosis and disease severity based on distinct miRNA levels. Results: 634 original abstracts were identified, detailing 166 ACS, 181 CAD, 56 DCM, and 182 ICM miRNAs. Without further optimization, the signatures of a priori miRNAs already yielded very good diagnostic performance with ROC AUC of 0.83 – 0.95. There was an improvement when considering additional miRNAs in a discovery setting. Interestingly, in ACS, CAD and DCM we observed a significantly worse prognosis in probands with higher scores in the miRNA signatures, indicating additional prognostic information. Conclusions: The European BestAgeing miRNA study reveals emerging associations of several miRNA signatures with cardiovascular disease discrimination and prognostication, providing a foundation for future external validation and potential clinical translation of this class of markers.

• ENU-NCI-H508-Cetuximab-SecondRound

  Cetuximab is a targeted monoclonal antibody against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) which is used therapeutically for the treatment of KRAS wild-type colorectal cancer (CRC). The Cetuximab sensitive KRAS wild-type CRC cell line NCI-H508 has been treated with a fixed concentration of ENU for 24 hours and then selected with Cetuximab until drug resistant clones were ready to be picked and grown up as sub-clones of the parental cell line. These will have genes causally implicated in cancer sequenced to identify common point mutations in multiple independently derived drug resistant clones as a forward genetic screen for mechanisms of resistance to Cetuximab in CRC
