• Genetics of Antinuclear Antibodies

  Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are antibodies that react against self-antigens in the cell. While it has been reported that 12 to 20% of the general population have a positive ANA test, the genetics of ANA positivity is unknown. We performed a genome wide-association study for positive ANA tests among individuals without an ANA related autoimmune disease in the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) DNA biobank linked to the de-identified electronic health record (EHR) system. The study is funded by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin diseases (NIAMS) grant R01AR076516.

• Integrated multi-omics analysis of pediatric hepatoblastoma

  Hepatoblastoma (HBL) is the most common malignant liver tumor in childhood and is clinically heterogeneous. In spite of its heterogeneity, the molecular basis responsible for the difference between low-risk and high-risk HBL has not been fully clarified. To address this issue, we carried out multi-omics analysis on 59 HBL samples to generate comprehensive profiles of gene mutation, copy-number alteration, DNA methylation and gene expression. By integrating these data, we aimed to unravel the heterogeneity of HBL and identify genetic determinants and therapy targets of high-risk HBL.

• PROMETEO

  The SOLTI-1503 PROMETEO trial was a single-arm, preoperative, window-of-opportunity phase II study conducted at four sites in Spain between December 2018 and February 2022. It enrolled female patients with operable HER2-negative breast cancer (triple-negative or Luminal B-like) and residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Tumor biopsies were collected at five time points (baseline, post-NAC screening, C2D1, C3D1, and surgery) for translational research. This dataset includes raw paired-end RNA sequencing data (~110M reads per library) generated from the 113 biopy samples, archived in FASTQ format.

• Cancer and germline exomes, and cancer RNA-seq consisiting of FASTQ paired-end reads from melanoma, lung and colon cancer samples

  Discovery of patient-specific tumor antigens usually requires in vitro-expanded autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), among which tumor antigen-specific T cells are however often rare, thus limiting sensitivity. We designed in vitro culture conditions to improve the identification of rare tumor antigen-specific CD8 TILs. This innovative yet accessible pipeline allows highly-sensitive identification of tumor antigens and cognate T cell receptors (TCRs), greatly improving the selection of candidates for personalized cancer vaccines and TCR-based cellular immunotherapies.

• Lenalidomide Resistance in del(5q) Myelodysplastic Syndrome Follows Loss of RUNX1/TP53-mediated Megakaryocytic Differentiation

  Interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 5 (del(5q)) is the commonest structural genomic variant in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Lenalidomide (LEN) is the treatment of choice for patients with del(5q) MDS, but half of the responding patients become resistant within two years. TP53 mutations are detected in ~20% of patients who become resistant to LEN. Our data show that patients who become resistant to LEN harbor either TP53 or RUNX1 mutations or loss of RUNX1 expression. Here we show that LEN-induced degradation of IKZF1 permits a RUNX1/GATA2 complex to drive megakaryocytic differentiation and consequent del(5q) MDS progenitor cell death via CRBN-mediated CSNK1A1 degradation. Overexpression of GATA2 is able to restore LEN sensitivity in the context of RUNX1 or TP53 mutations by enhancing LEN-induced megakaryocytic differentiation. Screening for TP53 and RUNX1 mutations or downregulation should identify patients resistant to LEN, and strategies to activate GATA2 may resensitize del(5q) MDS cells to LEN.

• RNA-sequencing of ex vivo exhausted human antigen-specific T cells

  Tumor-specific T cells are frequently exhausted by chronic antigenic stimulation. To explore new pathways for reinvigoration of anti-tumor immune functions, we developed a human ex vivo exhaustion model by repetitive antigenic stimulation of primary CD8 T cells. This results in T cells that resemble patient-derived T cells in tumors on a phenotypic and transcriptional level. Four human healhy donor CD8+ T cells were isolated, transduced with an NY-ESO-1 TCR lentivirus construct, stimulated in four different conditions (Trested, Ttumor, Tex, Teff) with T2 tumor cells and specific peptides over 12 days. Cells were then sorted for TCR Vbeta 13.1+ (NY-ESO-1 TCR) CD8+ CD3+ CD56- CD4- DAPI- cells. RNA-seq TruSeq libraries were generated from polyA-enriched mRNA isolated from the samples, and sequenced in paired-end mode (2x51bp) on 2 lanes of an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 flow-cell. FASTQ sequence files were generated with the Illumina RTA version 3.4.4 and Base-calling Version bcl2fastq-2.20.0.422.

• Understanding the development of resident memory T cells (Trm) in the human small intestine using integrative multiomic approaches: Adult RNA (2025-10-14)

  Animal studies have demonstrated that resident memory T (Trm) cells provide enhanced protective responses to a broad array of tissue-tropic pathogens, thus making Trm cells promising targets for novel vaccination strategies. However, the biological pathways that enable the long-term survival of Trm cells are poorly understood in humans. Here, we will employ a unique human intestinal transplantation setting that allows us to study the retention of persistent T cells in the grafts and the temporal development of resident T-cell populations from recruited recipient T cells. We will integrate high resolution transcriptomics, epigenetics, proteomics and immune repertoire single-cell data from purified intestinal T cells. These single-cell multiomics approaches will uncover the diversity and differentiation of the T cell populations in the human intestine, allowing us to temporally resolve the generation and maintenance of gut resident T cells. . This dataset contains all the data available for this study on 2025-10-14.

• RNA-Sequencing of B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia with Glucocorticoids and PI3K Delta Inhibition

  Mononuclear cells were isolated from bone marrow or peripheral blood of 7 pediatric subjects with B-lymphoblastic leukemia at the time of diagnosis. To determine the effect of PI3K delta inhibition on glucocorticoid-induced gene regulation, B-lymphoblastic leukemia cells were treated with glucocorticoids +/- the PI3K delta inhibitor, idelalisib, for 24 hours prior to RNA extraction and sequencing. Biological replicates were performed for 4 of the 7 subjects; 2 of these subjects had specimens demonstrating an additive response to the combination of glucocorticoids and idelalisib in viability testing in vitro, and 2 subjects' specimens demonstrated a synergistic response. All 7 subjects were analyzed together and the 4 specimens with biological replicates were also evaluated in an additional analysis. An average of 40 million reads per specimen and treatment condition were obtained. We compared gene expression in each treatment condition to vehicle-treated cells and expression in glucocorticoid or idelalisib only treated cells to combination treated cells. Using a high dose of dexamethasone (25 or 50 nM) and an equivalent dose of prednisolone, we found that the addition of idelalisib (500 nM) enhanced prednisolone-induced gene regulation but not dexamethasone-induced gene regulation. Surprisingly, the specimens with additive response to combination therapy demonstrated enhancement of prednisolone-induced gene regulation with the addition of idelalisib, while the specimens with synergistic responses did not. Raw sequencing data (FASTQ) and count tables will be available through dbGaP.

• Enhanced Adjuvanticity of a Personal Neoantigen Vaccine Generates Potent Neoantigen-Specific Immunity

  Personalized neoantigen-targeting vaccines can induce durable and diverse T cell responses and have been associated with improved outcomes. To augment immunogenicity, we tested a synthetic long peptide vaccine formulated with the adjuvants Montanide and poly-ICLC in 10 patients with melanoma. The vaccines, co-administered locally with ipilimumab and systemically with nivolumab, generated de novo ex vivo T cell responses against the majority of immunizing neoepitopes in all 9 fully vaccinated patients, and ex vivo CD8+ T cell responses in 6 of 9. Hundreds of circulating and intratumoral T cell receptor (TCR) clonotypes emerged following vaccination that were distinct from those arising after PD-1 inhibition. By linking vaccine-specificity and cellular phenotype of TCRs in post-treatment tumors at single cell resolution, we demonstrate remodeling of the intratumoral T cell repertoire following vaccination. These observations demonstrate the impact of multi-pronged immune adjuvanticity on the T cell repertoire in the context of neoantigen-targeting vaccines. We are submitting WES data from whole blood samples and tumor FFPE samples, and RNA-seq data from tumor FFPE samples. We are also submitting RNA-seq data from purified tumor samples. scRNA-seq data will also be submitted for skin samples (pre and post neoantigen vaccine dose #3), and tumor samples before starting treatment, before starting neoantigen vaccine Dose #1, and before neoantigen vaccine dose #4. Bulk TCR-seq data will be submitted for blood samples.

• DNA Repair Capacity for Lung Disease Risk Assessment

  A focus of this work was to address the extent to which susceptibility for lung cancer varies by gene-environment-phenotype interactions involving DNA repair capacity and differences in risk from environmental stressors. GWAS from a subset of subjects from the Lovelace Smokers Cohort and New Mexico Lung Cancer cohort were used to derive polygenic risk scores for DNA repair pathways (nucleotide excision, base excision, single strand break, non-homologous, homologous recombination). Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between polygenic risk score and lung cancer status. Polygenic risk scores were grouped by quartiles. Only diminished base excision repair was associated with increased risk for lung cancer at the 25-50% quartile and approached significance at the 50-75% quartile.

• CIDR: The Role of Rare Coding Variation in Prostate Cancer in Men of African Ancestry - RESPOND Project 2

  In RESPOND Project 2, we seek to identify rare genetic factors that are associated with prostate cancer (PCa) risk and aggressiveness in men of African ancestry (AA). We will conduct exome sequencing of 15,000 prostate cancer cases and 5,000 controls from the RESPOND cohort and the African Ancestry Prostate Cancer Consortium (AAPC) with cases selected based on risk categories: high-risk (stage T3/T4 or Gleason 8+ or PSA>20 ng/ml), intermediate-risk (stage T2b/T2c or Gleason 7 or PSA 10-20 ng/ml) and low-risk disease (stage T1/T2a and Gleason ≤ 6 and PSA<10 ng/ml). We expect the findings from this Project to significantly advance knowledge of susceptibility to aggressive PCa and racial/ethnic disparities in PCa risk, and to guide the development of future preventive, early detection and prognostic measures for AA men. The first phase of the study will include exome sequence data for approximately 7,500 cases and 5,000 controls from AAPC.

• Long-read-transcriptome-sequencing of CLL and MDS patients uncovers common molecular effects of SF3B1 mutations

  Mutations in SF3B1 occur frequently in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and a full-length transcriptome approach can expand our current knowledge on SF3B1 mutation effects on RNA splicing. We applied long-read-transcriptome-sequencing (LRTS) to 44 MDS and CLL patients with and without SF3B1 mutations and found a large fraction (>60%) of novel isoforms. Furthermore, we revealed that mutation effects on alternative splicing were largely common in both cancer types and specifically altered the usage of introns as well as 3’-splice-sites. We combined the LRTS with genome-wide SF3B1-RNA binding maps and show multimodal binding at 3’-splice-sites highlighting a window of 12-21nt upstream of the canonical 3’-splice-site in which a dynamic switch in splice site usage is observable in patients carrying SF3B1 mutations. Our work presents the hitherto most complete LRTS study in CLL and MDS and provides a resource for further research on aberrant splicing in cancer.

• Endocrine therapy reprogramming of breast cancer facilitates metastatic escape via upregulation of P-Rex1/Rac1 signalling

  The estrogen receptor (ER) drives growth in ~70% of breast cancers, and endocrine therapies prevent recurrence. However, 30% of patients recur, with many fatal cases occurring late (after >5 years), presenting a challenge due to their often non-proliferative nature and limited options. To study this, we generated slow-growing resistant cells that form small primary tumours but readily metastasize. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) revealed that endocrine therapy reprograms these cells, notably upregulating the Rac1 signalling component P-Rex1. We found in clinical cohorts that P-Rex1 in high in ER+ breast cancer. Intravital imaging demonstrated that Rac1 signalling is active in ER+ cells following endocrine therapy. Targeting the Rac1 pathway with small molecule inhibitors (NSC23766, R-ketorolac) reduced survival and motility in resistant cells, inhibited in vivo Rac1 activity, and reduced tumour burden when combined with tamoxifen in a drug-refractory patient-derived xenograft. This work identifies the P-Rex1/Rac1 axis, as a potential therapeutic target for late recurring ER+ breast cancer.

• Immune Profiles Study

  This study assesses glioma patient blood methylation longitudinally beginning pre-surgery through other clinically important timepoints. Progression and survival are studied in relation to methylation derived immunologic profiles and other characteristics. For this study, patients scheduled for surgery at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) for a possible newly diagnosed glioma (grades 2-4) or recurrent grade 2/3 glioma were consented and enrolled. Patients had blood collected pre-surgery and, if the pathology results confirm a glioma, every few weeks or months during their treatment (up to 30 total timepoints). Blood immunomethylomic profiles were measured at these timepoints to assess associations with glioma patient outcomes, clinical measures, other known prognostic markers, and imaging characteristics.

• Genetics of Lymphatic Anomalies from Center of Applied Genomics (CAG) at CHOP

  Lymphatic anomaly, a rare and devastating disease spectrum of mostly unknown etiologies, is characterized by diffuse or multicentric proliferation of dilated lymphatic vessels, and includes a variety of diagnoses: lymphangiectasia, central conducting lymphatic anomaly, generalized lymphatic anomaly, kaposiform lymphangiomatosis, and Gorham Stout disease. Currently, most treatments are considered palliative; lymphatic anomalies are often chronic debilitating conditions that require multiple yearly outpatient visits and hospital admissions for procedures that ameliorate symptoms, but do not correct the underlying cause. Identifying the causal genes will be hugely informative for our understanding of diseases. This will also allow for the development of affordable and successful diagnostic tests and therapies in keeping with "precision medicine" implementation.

• Shedding light over COVID-19 susceptibility and severity

  “One of the most remarkable features of SARS-CoV-2 infection is the variation in consequence ranging from asymptomatic to life-threatening” state the authors of the majestic Nature paper released in accelerated pre-view on July 2021. This variation in consequences represent not only an issue of burning medical relevance, but also a scientific and intellectual challenge for scientists around the globe. Researchers are known to be easily triggered by a challenge, and they recently demonstrated to be even better at double their efforts to focus on an urgent societal need. In this work led and coordinated by the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative (COVID-19 HGI), researchers gathered data from 49,562 cases and two million controls from 46 studies performed worldwide. The majority of the data has been deposited at the EGA, where 29 datasets have been collected under the study number EGAS00001005304. Data gathered from diverse sources conferred a huge robustness to the results. Genetic data from different ancestry origin were included in the analyses, even though data from patients with European origin was highly predominant (approx. 75%). Separated analysis of the different ancestries gave rise to relevant differences in the results, highlighting how important it is to take this aspect in consideration for future studies. Data from the individual studies was compiled into three categories according to COVID-19 severity for a meta-analysis: (a) critically ill cases (b) moderate or severe cases (c) all cases. They were paired with non-COVID-19-reported controls. All three analysis resulted in a total of 13 genetic loci associated with COVID-19 severity. Out of those, 9 loci associated specifically with critical illness, while 6 (a few overlapped) associated with moderated illness. Some genomic position matched previous findings. Interestingly, working with such an enormous amount of data allowed the depth to discriminate association with disease susceptibility vs severity, an issue of large medical relevance. Several loci mapped into biological relevant genes, like TYK2, PPP1R15A and FOXP4, previously implicated in immune response and/or lung functions. Researchers participating in the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative have worked in an unprecedented time-tight collaboration, prioritizing data sharing and collective results to tackle the pandemic affecting the world. The scientific community won’t miss any of the lessons to learn from this, and the EGA is ready to keep working to enable safe data sharing and fruitful collaborations.

• Raw human sequencing data for “Characterization of intestinal immune responses in generalized human and murine lipodystrophy”

  This dataset contains raw FASTQ files generated from peripheral blood and intestinal biopsy samples collected for the study “Characterization of intestinal immune responses in generalized human and murine lipodystrophy.” Peripheral blood sequencing was performed on samples from three healthy donors as controls and from a patient with acquired generalized lipodystrophy and Crohn’s disease (AGLCD) at two distinct timepoints. Intestinal biopsy–derived immune cells were sequenced from three individuals with Crohn’s disease as disease controls, as well as from the AGLCD patient (single timepoint). The data include paired-end FASTQ files derived from single-cell RNA sequencing and T-cell receptor repertoire profiling, enabling analyses of immune composition, transcriptional states, and clonal T-cell expansion. All data are controlled-access human genomic datasets and require appropriate authorization for secondary use.

• NHLBI TOPMed: The Genetics and Epidemiology of Asthma in Barbados

  Asthma is a complex disease where the interplay between genetic factors and environmental exposures influences susceptibility and disease prognosis. Asthmatics of African descent tend to have more severe asthma and more severe clinical symptoms than individuals of European ancestry. The baseline prevalence of asthma in Barbados is high (~20%), and from admixture analyses, we have determined that the proportion of African ancestry among Barbadian founders is similar to U.S. African Americans, rendering this a unique population to disentangle the genetic basis for asthma disparities among African ancestry populations in general. We therefore performed whole genome sequencing on 1,100 individuals from the Barbados Genetics of Asthma Study (BAGS), in order to generate additional discovery of rare and structural variants that may control risk to asthma.

• Genomic Regions Associated with Susceptibility to Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma in African Americans: The Cross BETRNet Admixture Study

  Differences in rates of diseases between different populations with similar environments are presumed to be secondary to variability in population frequencies of disease causing alleles. Recently admixed populations such as African Americans (AAs) provide a natural opportunity to identify disease-causing variants by examining the ancestry of long chromosomal haplotypes. Admixture mapping approach can be successful in locating genes for diseases such as EAC whose rates varies markedly between the ancestral populations. This is a case only study with 54 African American cases and also on a subset of 28 cases with high genotyping quality. We seek to identify chromosome regions that have excess European ancestry and contrasting it to excess African ancestry.

• Identification of Recurrent NAB2-STAT6 Gene Fusions in Solitary Fibrous Tumor by Integrative Sequencing

  Transcriptome sequencing of solitary fibrous tumors / hemangiopericytomas from a variety of anatomic sites revealed recurrent gene fusions between two genes, NAB2 and STAT6. All SFTs examined exhibited an in-frame fusion transcript encoding a fusion protein containing the EGR1 interaction domain of NAB2 with the transcriptional activation domain of STAT6. Functional testing of the fusion alleles confirmed the conversion of the wt NAB2 repressor into a transcriptional activator. A range of individual fusion junctions can be detected by next-generation sequencing acro the sample set, highlighting the suitability of this method in the diagnostic characterization of SFTs. This study indentified the pathognomonic alteration in solitary fibrous tumors and illuminates a pathway towards targeted therapeutics for this cancer.

• Resistance to Latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection in South Africa: Immunologic Profiling

  Despite significant exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), some humans remain uninfected, as defined by persistently negative immune sensitization tests (tuberculin skin test, TST; interferon gamma release assays, IGRA). To explore mechanisms of natural resistance to Mtb infection, we profiled tissues from highly-exposed Mtb contacts from South Africa. The cohort in this submission were gold miners in South Africa who had worked in the mining industry ≥ 15 years with presumed high Mtb exposure, based on extreme tuberculosis incidence rates and high prevalence of latent Mtb infection (Chihota et al. 2022, PMID: 35302992; Ntshiqa et al. 2021, doi: 10.12688/gatesopenres.13191.1). TST and IGRA testing were performed at enrollment of gold miners, some of whom remained available for repeat testing at 12 months.

• Pervasive H3K27 acetylation and ERV expression in H3.3K27M gliomas present a therapeutic vulnerability

  High-grade gliomas (HGG) defined by histone 3 K27M driver mutations exhibit global loss of H3K27 trimethylation and reciprocal gain of H3K27 acetylation, respectively shaping repressive and active chromatin landscapes. We generated tumor-derived isogenic models bearing this mutation and show that it leads to pervasive H3K27ac deposition across the genome. In turn, active enhancers and promoters are not created de novo and instead reflect the epigenomic landscape of the cell of origin. H3K27ac is enriched at repeat elements, resulting in their increased expression, which in turn can be further amplified by DNA demethylation and histone deacetylase inhibitors providing an exquisite therapeutic vulnerability. These agents may therefore modulate anti-tumor immune responses as a therapeutic modality for this untreatable disease.

• Heterogeneous metabolic signatures are linked to cancer cell differentiation in colorectal cancer

  Colorectal cancer (CRC) is characterized by functional intratumor heterogeneity that shares many similarites with the hierarchical organization of the normal intestinal epithelium. In order to relate transcriptional subtypes to functional tumor cell heterogeneity we applied scRNA-seq to 12 patient-derived CRC spheroid cultures. We identified shared expression programs that relate to intestinal lineages and revealed metabolic signatures that are linked to cancer cell differentiation. In addition, we validated and complemented sequencing results by quantitative microscopy using live-dyes and multiplexed RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization, thereby revealing metabolic compartmentalization and potential cell-cell interactions. FInally, we demonstrate functional differences between metabolically distinct lineage subtypes that might have strong implications for future treatment strategies of CRC.

• Multi-Omic Microbiome Study-Pregnancy Initiative (MOMS-PI)

  The Vaginal Microbiome Consortium team at Virginia Commonwealth University has conducted the Multi-Omic Microbiome Study: Pregnancy Initiative (MOMS-PI) in collaboration with the Global Alliance to Prevent Prematurity and Stillbirth (GAPPS) to better understand how microbiome and host profiles change throughout pregnancy and influence the establishment of the nascent microbiome in neonates. The team particularly focused on elucidation of the role of the microbiome and its components in the etiology of preterm birth, which occurs in over 10% of pregnancies and which is the leading cause of death in neonates. Samples from 1594 women and their neonates were collected throughout pregnancy, at delivery and postpartum. The group has generated a comprehensive dataset of multiple omics technologies. This longitudinal, large-scale effort was designed to provide a large-scale resource for the scientific community. The study also permits characterization of temporal dynamics of the microbiome in pregnancy and factors associated with preterm birth.

• PD-1 antibody-bound progenitor-exhausted CD8+ T cells in lymph nodes boost PD-1-blockade anti-tumor immunity in gastrointestinal cancer

  While progenitor-exhausted T cells (Tpex) expressing TCF1 and PD-1 are crucial for the therapeutic effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs; therapeutic anti-PD-1 antibodies), the dynamics of ICI-bound Tpex are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated ICI-bound T cells in detail using combined sequencing analysis at the single cell level. By analyzing samples from gastrointestinal cancer patients with or without ICI treatment, we found that Tpex were enriched in proximal lymph nodes (LNs) and proliferated at a high rate after ICI treatment. Importantly, ICI high-bound Tpex in LNs shared T-cell receptor clonotypes with intratumoral exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tex), suggesting their migration to tumor sites after ICI treatment. These findings indicate that ICIs initially target PD-1+CD8+ Tpex in LNs, prompting their proliferation. Subsequently, these cells migrate to tumors and differentiate into Tex, thereby exerting anti-tumor immunity.
