• Juntendo Muscle Study (JMS)

  Skeletal muscle fiber type distribution has implications for human health, muscle function and performance. This knowledge has been gathered using labor intensive and costly methodology that limited these studies. This data was used to present a new method based on muscle tissue RNA sequencing data to estimate the distribution of skeletal muscle fiber types from frozen human samples, allowing for larger number of individuals to be tested in a cost and labor efficient way. Muscle biopsies were taken from the vastus lateralis muscle of 23 human subjects from Japan. Samples were sequenced on the NextSeq® 500/550 (Illumina).

• An Integrated Approach to Patient Stratification and Therapy Selection in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

  As more clinically-relevant genomic features of myeloid malignancies are revealed, it has become clear that targeted clinical genetic testing is inadequate for risk stratification. Here, we developed and validated a clinical transcriptome-based assay for stratification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Comparison of RNA-Seq to whole genome and exome sequencing revealed that as a standalone assay, RNA-Seq offered the greatest diagnostic return, enabling identification of expressed gene fusions, single nucleotide and short insertion/deletion variants, and whole-transcriptome expression information. Expression data were used to develop a novel risk score which, when combined with molecular risk guidelines, allowed for the re-stratification of 22.1 to 25.3% of AML patients from three independent cohorts into correct risk groups. Within the adverse-risk subgroup, we identified a subset of patients characterized by dysregulated integrin signaling and RUNX1 or TP53 mutation. We show that these patients may benefit from therapy with inhibitors of focal adhesion kinase (PTK2), demonstrating additional utility of transcriptome-based testing for therapy selection in myeloid malignancy.

• Neoantigen-Targeted CD8+ T-Cell Responses 1 With PD-1 Blockade Therapy

  Background: The primary target of T-cell responses induced against cancer cells are peptides derived from non-synonymous mutations presented by HLA (neoantigens). However, the large diversity of HLA alleles and restricted availability of clinical samples have limited the study of the specificity and the evolution over time of the neoantigen-specific T cell responses induced after treatment with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) immunotherapy. Methods: We applied a newly developed neoepitope-specific T cell isolation technology to perform a longitudinal landscape analysis of the neoepitope-specific T cells in peripheral blood and tumor from 11 patients with metastatic melanoma; 7 with response and 4 with no response to ICB. Briefly, first using computational prediction, the putative neoantigens in each patient were ranked based on affinity for the patient's HLA and expression levels. Then hundreds of barcoded capture reagents consisting of the patient HLA class I subtypes loaded with the corresponding predicted neoantigen were made and used to isolate neoepitope-specific T cells. Once isolated, the TCRs and the barcodes were sequenced. Finally, the tumor reactivity of the isolated neoepitope-specific TCRs (neoTCRs) was assessed upon co-culture of autologous melanoma cell lines from each patient with primary human T cells expressing the neoTCRs generated using a CRISPR-based non-viral gene editing to replace the endogenous TCRs. Results: The tumor mutation burden ranged between 3507 and 177 for patients with response to therapy and 977 to 31 for patients without response to therapy. We screened a median of 172 predicted neoantigen-HLA per patient across their 6 HLA molecules and isolated neoTCRs in all 11 patients. The number of mutations targeted ranged between 13 and 1. We assessed the neoTCR-tumor reactivity in samples from 3 patients with response and 3 patients without response. 39 of the 62 neoTCRs demonstrated specific recognition and cytotoxicity to patient-matched melanoma cell lines. Multiple T cell clonotypes recognized a limited number of mutations in 7 patients with response (median of 41 different neoTCR clonotypes per patient), and the T cell specificities were recurrently detected in the blood and the tumor over time. Samples from 4 patients without response to therapy also demonstrated neoepitope-specific T cell responses in blood and tumor to a similarly restricted number of mutations, but lacked TCR polyclonality (median 6.5 neoTCR clonotypes per patient) and were not recurrently detected in sequential samples. Conclusion: Effective ICB therapy is associated with polyclonal neoepitope-specific T-cell responses in the tumor and blood that recognize a limited number of immunodominant mutations and are recurrently detected over time.

• Genome-wide associations of human gut microbiota variation and implications for causal inference analyses

  Here we use appropriate taxon-specific models along with support from independent cohorts to show association between human host genotype and gut microbiome variation. Using fecal derived 16S rRNA gene sequences and host genotype data from the Flemish Gut Flora Project (FGFP) we identify genetic associations involving multiple microbial traits. Mendelian randomization analysis was able to estimate associations between microbial traits and disease, however in the absence of clear microbiome driven effects, caution is needed in interpretation. This work marks a growing catalog of genetic associations which will provide insight into the contribution of host genotype to gut microbiome. Despite this, the uncertain origin of association signals will likely complicate future work looking to dissect function or use associations for causal inference analysis.

• Coagulation and Fibrinolysis in a Pediatric Insulin Titration Trial

  Summary of the Design and Aims: The Coagulation and Fibrinolysis in a Pediatric Insulin Titration Trial (CAF-PINT) is an ancillary study to the HALF PINT (NCT01565941) randomized, controlled trial that was originally designed to study changes in inflammatory and thrombosis pathways in the setting of an interventional trial. The parent HALF PINT study was designed to study the impact of tight glycemic control (TGC) using an explicit insulin titration algorithm to safely achieve a normal glucose in target range of 80-110 mg/dL versus 150-180mg/dL on clinical outcomes among critically ill hyperglycemic children with Heart and Lung Failure. The CAF PINT study collected blood samples pre randomization and at 2 and 4 days after randomization. Blood samples collected in EDTA tubes were centrifuged at local sites to separate the plasma from cell pellets and frozen prior to shipment. In addition, 0.5 mL of whole blood collected in PAXgene tubes modified for use in pediatrics frozen 24 hours after collection prior to shipment.Population Information: Setting: Twenty-one academic children's hospitals (HALF-PINT) and 1 academic children's hospital (IIT-SBPP). Participants: Critically ill hyperglycemic children requiring mechanical ventilation/vasoactive support (n=293).Interventions and Exposures: Patients in HALF PINT were randomized to achieve a low target glucose (80-110 mg/dL) vs. a higher target (150-180 mg/dL). The primary trial was stopped early due to low likelihood of achieving a statistically significant difference in the primary outcomes. Molecular Technologies Employed: Plasma biomarkers were assayed on thawed plasma using a Luminex panel. RNA was extracted from PAXgene Blood RNA Kits modified for pediatric use. Extracted RNA was sequenced with the Novaseq S4 system (Illumina) to generate 2 x 150 base paired end reads to a target depth of 50 million read-pairs per sample.Principal Findings of the Study: We tested for heterogeneity of treatment effects according to baseline blood inflammatory proteins using logistic regression with individual biomarkers as interaction terms and Cox regression analysis using biomarker-derived latent classes. Children with higher inflammatory proteins including TNFR-1, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 had lower mortality when treated with insulin to a target glucose of 80-110 mg/dL as compared to 150-180 mg/dL (interaction p<0.05). Causal forest estimates ranged from a 40% mortality reduction to a 15% mortality increase with TGC, depending on each patient’s individual biomarker profile. Latent class categorization strongly interacted with TGC with respect to mortality (Cox regression interaction p=0.005). Specifically, patients with higher inflammation benefited from TGC (6% mortality with TGC vs. 48% mortality, p=0.004) whereas hypoinflamed patients showed a trend towards harm (14% mortality with TGC vs. 7% mortality, p=0.055).Data available through dbGaP: Transcriptomic (Gene Counts) and phenotype data

• Add Health: Longitudinal Study of a Nationally Representative Sample of Adolescents in Grades 7-12 in the United States during the 1994-95 School Year, Followed into Adulthood with Five Interviews/Surveys in 1995, 1996, 2001-02, 2008, and 2016-18

  The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health [Add Health] is an ongoing longitudinal study of a nationally representative U.S. cohort of more than 20,000 adolescents in grades 7-12 (aged 12-19 years) in 1994 followed into adulthood with five interviews/surveys in 1995, 1996, 2001-02, 2008, and 2016-18. Add Health was designed to understand how social environments and behaviors in adolescence are linked to health and achievement outcomes in young adulthood. Add Health contains unprecedented environmental, behavioral, psychosocial, biological, and genetic data from early adolescence and into adulthood on a large, nationally representative cohort with unprecedented racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and geographic diversity. Add Health has a large, multidisciplinary user base of over 50,000 researchers around the world who have published over 3,400 research articles. Add Health is housed at the Carolina Population Center of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Add Health datasets are distributed according to a tiered data disclosure plan designed to protect the data from the risk of direct and indirect disclosure of respondent identity. Add Health's large sample size, population diversity and rich longitudinal database of psychosocial, physical, and contextual data will permit investigation of an exceptionally broad range of phenotypes with known genetic variation. Prospective longitudinal measures are available to document change over time in each of these phenotypes, as well as change in the social environment and life experiences, making the Add Health sample ideal for understanding genetic linkages with health and behavior across the life course. The original design of Add Health included important features for understanding biological processes in health and developmental trajectories across the life course of young people, including an embedded genetic sample with more than 3,000 pairs of adolescents with varying biological resemblance (e.g., twins, full sibs, half sibs, and adolescents who grew up in the same household but have no biological relationship), testing of saliva and urine for sexually transmitted infections and HIV, and biomarkers of cardiovascular health, metabolic processes, immune function, renal function, and inflammation. Add Health therefore has critical objective indicators of health status and disease markers in young adulthood, well before chronic illness or its complications emerge in later adulthood. Because DNA has been collected on the full sample at Wave IV, it is possible to link genetic profiles with social, behavioral, and biological measures over time from adolescence into adulthood. Add Health sampled the multiple environments in which young people live their lives, including the family, peers, school, neighborhood, community, and relationship dyads, and provides independent and direct measurement of these environments over time. Add Health contains extensive longitudinal information on health-related behavior, including life histories of physical activity, involvement in risk behavior, substance use, sexual behavior, civic engagement, education, and multiple indicators of health status based on self-report (e.g., general health, chronic illness), direct measurement (e.g., overweight status and obesity), and biomarkers. No other data resource with this expanse of genotype and phenotype data on a large nationally representative longitudinal sample with race, ethnic, socioeconomic, and geographic diversity exists.

• Somatic mutation burden and copy-number variation analysis in neurofibromatosis type 1-associated plexiform neurofibromas

  Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common tumor-predisposition disorder due to germline mutations in the tumor suppressor gene NF1. A virtually pathognomonic finding of NF1 is the plexiform neurofibroma (PN), a benign, likely congenital tumor that arises from biallelic inactivation of NF1. PN can undergo transformation to a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, an aggressive soft-tissue sarcoma. To better understand the non-NF1 genetic contributions to PN pathogenesis, we performed whole-exome sequencing and genome-wide copy-number determination for 23 low-passage Schwann cell cultures established from surgical PN material with matching germline DNA. All resected tumors were derived from routine debulking surgeries. None of the tumors were considered at risk for malignant transformation at the time, e.g., there was no pain or rapid growth. Deep (~500X) NF1 exon sequencing was also conducted on tumor DNA. Non-NF1 somatic mutation verification was performed using the Ampliseq/IonTorrent platform. We identified 100% of the germline NF1 mutations and found somatic NF1 inactivation in 74% of the PN. One individual with three PNs had different NF1 somatic mutations in each tumor. The median number of somatic mutations per sample, including NF1, was one (range 0 - 8). NF1 was the only gene that was recurrently somatically inactivated in multiple tumors. We found no recurrent non-NF1 locus copy-number variation in PN. This is the first multi-sample whole-exome sequencing study of NF1-associated PN. Taken together with concurrent copy-number data, our comprehensive genetic analysis reveals the primacy of NF1 loss as the driver of PN tumorigenesis.
