Sporadic and endemic Burkitt lymphoma have frequent FOXO1 mutations but distinct hotspots in the AKT recognition motif

FOXO1 has an oncogenic role in adult germinal center derived lymphomas, in which mutations, predominately within the AKT recognition motif, cause nuclear retention of FOXO1 resulting in increased cell proliferation. To determine the prevalence and distribution of FOXO1 mutations in pediatric Burkitt lymphoma (BL), we sequenced a large number of sporadic and endemic BL patient samples. We report a high frequency of FOXO1 mutations in both sporadic and endemic BL at diagnosis, occurring in 23/78 (29%) and 48/89 (54%) samples respectively, as well as 8/16 (50%) cases at relapse. Mutations of T24 were the most common in sporadic BL but were rare in endemic cases, in which mutations of residue S22, also within the AKT recognition motif, were the most frequent. FOXO1 mutations were almost always present in the major tumor cell clone but were not associated with outcome. Analysis of other recurrent mutations reported in BL revealed that FOXO1 mutations were associated with mutations of DDX3X and ARID1A, but not MYC, TCF3/ID3 or members of the phosphatidylinositol 3’ OH kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway. We further show common nuclear retention of the FOXO1 protein, irrespective of mutation status, suggesting alternative unknown mechanisms for maintaining FOXO1 transcriptional activity in BL. CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of FOXO1 in an endemic cell line produced a significant decrease in cell proliferation, supporting an oncogenic role for FOXO1 in endemic BL. Thus, FOXO1 is frequently mutated in both sporadic and endemic BL and may offer a potential therapeutic target for pediatric BL patients worldwide.

Non Dystrophic Myotonias: Genotype-Phenotype Correlation and Longitudinal

NMD are rare ion channel disorders. The optimal management and treatment of these disorders are not known. This multi-center proposal will allow the prospective collection of standardized data from a critical number of patients to help better define the clinical features of NDM. The data will also be used to establish clinically relevant endpoints for use in therapeutic trials. The identification and genetic characterization of patients will facilitate recruitment of participants for future therapeutic trials. Ultimately, the information gained will lead to the improvements in the treatment and management of NMD with an associated reduction in morbidity and improvement in patient quality of life.

RNA sequencing of a glioblastoma PDX cohort

Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models represent an essential tool for the preclinical evaluation of novel targeted therapies and their combinations. In this project, we molecularly characterized a comprehensive panel of glioma PDX models with well conserved molecular and pathological features over multiple passages. PDX samples were subjected to next generation sequencing (NGS). Characterization of cancer-relevant features including driver mutations or cellular processes was performed using mutational and gene expression data in order to identify potential biomarker or treatment targets in glioblastoma. In summary, we reported a newly established and molecularly characterized panel of glioma PDX models with high relevance for translational preclinical research.

Platelet response in aspirin adherent pregnant women

We conducted an unbiased genome-wide assessment of genomic factors that may influence response to low-dose aspirin in pregnant women at high risk of pre-eclampsia in two pregnancy cohorts: Liverpool (n=91) and Dublin (n=91). We applied UK Axiom microarray technology for GWAS investigations. We specified tight phenotyping with COX-selective urinary 11-dehydrothromboxane B2 (pg/mg creatinine) and accounted for adherence/platelet exposure to aspirin by detection of aspirin’s principal urinary metabolite, SUA, with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

Molecular analysis of cancer genomes in children with Lynch syndrome: exploring causal associations

Lynch syndrome (LS) predisposes to cancer in adulthood and is caused by heterozygous germline variants in a mismatch repair (MMR) gene. Recent studies show an increased prevalence of LS among children with cancer, suggesting a causal relationship. For LS-spectrum (LSS) cancers, including high-grade gliomas and colorectal cancer, causality has been supported by typical MMR-related tumor characteristics, but for non-LSS cancers, causality is unclear. This dataset contains 5 patients with Lynch Syndrome from the INFORM registry.

MYOSEQ

The MYOSEQ project focuses on the application of next generation sequencing, in particular whole exome sequencing (WES), in a large cohort of patients with unexplained limb‐girdle weakness (LGW). Focusing on undiagnosed patients with a clearly defined clinical phenotype enables increased diagnostic rates for known genes (in particular Pompe disease, GNE related pathologies and other known LGMD subtypes) in this cohort, while the use of WES provides scope both for new gene discovery and for additional research into disease modifiers and genotype‐phenotype correlation with substantial cost effectiveness. The LGW patient cohort was collated by Newcastle University in collaboration with clinical centers across Europe. The sequencing was performed at the Broad Institute and jointly analyzed with Newcastle University.

Heterogeneity in Lysosomal Storage Disorders

Gaucher disease (GD) is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in GBA1, which encodes glucocerebrosidase. Additionally, GBA1 variants are a well-established genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), leading some PD research centers to incorporate GBA1 screening to identify patients who may benefit from targeted therapeutics. However, detecting GBA1 variants remains challenging due to the gene's high sequence homology with its pseudogene, which can give rise to complex recombinant alleles. This study evaluates the performance of Gauchian, a recently developed software tool for identifying GBA1 variants from whole genome sequencing (WGS) data. The assessment was conducted in a cohort of 90 individuals with GD and five GBA1 heterozygotes, all previously characterized through Sanger sequencing. While Gauchian successfully identified the most common genotypes, it demonstrated limitations in detecting rare or de novo variants due to its restricted internal database and heavy reliance on intergenic structural variants. These limitations led to misclassified homozygosity, incomplete genotyping, and undetected recombination events, ultimately reducing the tool's utility for comprehensive variant screening and precluding its application in diagnostic settings. The study dataset includes WGS from the 90 individuals used in the Gauchian pipeline. This data will be available through dbGaP to facilitate further research on GBA1 variant detection, genotype-phenotype correlations in GD and PD, and the development of improved bioinformatics tools for complex variant identification.

Homozygous loss-of-function variants in European cosmopolitan and isolate populations

Homozygous loss of function (HLOF) variants provide a valuable window on gene function in humans, as well as an inventory of the human genes that are not essential for survival and reproduction. All humans carry at least a few HLOF variants, but the exact number of inactivated genes that can be tolerated is currently unknown-as are the phenotypic effects of losing function for most human genes. Here, we make use of 1432 whole exome sequences from five European populations to expand the catalogue of known human HLOF mutations; after stringent filtering of variants in our dataset, we identify a total of 173 HLOF mutations, 76 (44%) of which have not been observed previously. We find that population isolates are particularly well suited to surveys of novel HLOF genes because individuals in such populations carry extensive runs of homozygosity, which we show are enriched for novel, rare HLOF variants. Further, we make use of extensive phenotypic data to show that most HLOFs, ascertained in population-based samples, appear to have little detectable effect on the phenotype. On the contrary, we document several genes directly implicated in disease that seem to tolerate HLOF variants. Overall HLOF genes are enriched for olfactory receptor function and are expressed in testes more often than expected, consistent with reduced purifying selection and incipient pseudogenisation.

Dental Caries: Whole Genome Association and Gene x Environment Studies

Dental caries (also known as tooth decay) remains the most common chronic disease of childhood, five times more common than asthma and seven times more common than environmental allergies, with more than 40% of children exhibiting caries when they enter kindergarten. In 2005, it was estimated that dental health care costs were approximately $84 billion, of which 60% or about $50 billion were related to treatment of dental caries. Although overall caries prevalence has declined over the last 40 years, dental caries in the primary dentition and mean caries rates in children ages 2-11 has increased markedly over the past 12 years. Childhood caries is a serious public health issue because of associated health problems and because disparities in oral health have led to substantially higher average disease prevalence among children in poverty and in under-served racial and ethnic groups. These issues are of such concern that in 2005, the American Academy of Pediatrics made children's oral health one of their top areas of focus, as it is for the majority of the NIDCR "Disparities Centers". The etiology of dental caries has been studied for many years. Multiple factors contribute to a person's risk for caries, including: 1) environmental factors such as diet, oral hygiene, fluoride exposure and the level of colonization of cariogenic bacteria and 2) host factors such as salivary flow, salivary buffering capacity, position of teeth relative to each other, surface characteristics of tooth enamel and depth of occlusal fissures on posterior teeth. In spite of all that is known about this disease, there are still individuals who appear to be more susceptible to caries and those who are extremely resistant, regardless of the environmental risk factors to which they are exposed, implying that genetic factors also play an important role in caries etiology. This conclusion is supported by studies in both humans and animals, with the most compelling evidence coming from studies of twins reared apart in which investigators found significant resemblance within monozygotic (MZ) but not dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs for percentage of teeth and surfaces restored or carious and estimated the genetic contribution to caries as 40%. Other recent studies of twins reared together estimated the heritability for caries, adjusted for age and gender, as ranging from 45-64%. Despite the strong evidence of a genetic component to risk for dental caries, there have been only a few studies of candidate genes in caries, and no published genome-wide scans. A comprehensive genome wide search is the only approach that will allow us to identify those genetic regions likely to harbor genes increasing the risk for dental caries, and eventually to identify the etiologic genes and to explore the interaction of those genes with microbiological, dietary, fluoride, and behavioral factors that are known to be associated with caries risk and progression. Therefore, the goal of this study is to perform genome-wide association (GWA) studies of dental caries with a large panel of SNP's (610,000) in families and individuals ascertained through multiple US sites (University of Pittsburgh and University of Iowa). The v2 release of this study includes 96 additional individuals who were genotyped with the CCDG: Dental Caries and CL/P in Guatemala project (dbGaP accession number phs000440) to augment the data initially presented here. These subjects were genotyped on the Illumina 610 platform to make their data comparable. This study is part of the Gene Environment Association Studies initiative (GENEVA, http://www.genevastudy.org), which was developed through the trans-NIH Genes, Environment, and Health Initiative (GEI). The overarching goal is to identify novel genetic factors that contribute to dental caries through large-scale genome-wide association studies of well-characterized families and individuals at multiple sites in the U.S. Genotyping was performed at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR). The study was supported by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR, U01-DE018903). Data cleaning and harmonization were done at the GEI-funded GENEVA Coordinating Center at the University of Washington. Samples of some participants in this study were selected for further genomic analysis. These results will be available in the dbGaP CIDR study: Center for Oral Health Research in Appalachia (COHRA) Genomic Studies of Oral Health and Disease (phs001591).

Ten colorectal cancer patients with locally advanced primary tumors who underwent primary tumor resection following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Background We aim to investigate the utility of serial gene mutation tracking for locally advanced CRC in those who underwent curative resection following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods We prospectively collected 10 locally advanced CRC cases for which curative resection was performed following preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Tissues from the primary tumour, distant metastatic tumours, and blood plasma were obtained during serial treatment. Comprehensive mutation analysis of 47 cancer-associated genes was performed using a pre-designed gene panel and next-generation sequencing. Results All cases showed a partial response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and pathological R0 resection was accomplished. In primary tumours, non-synonymous mutations were detected at between 1 and 14 sites before chemotherapy and at between 1 and 2 sites after. Founder mutations were precisely detected in blood plasma and metastatic tumours during longitudinal treatment. Conclusions Serial mutational analysis indicated that subclonal selection occurs during chemotherapy and that plasma can substitute for tumourous tissue in mutational analysis for drug selection and treatment decisions.

Next Generation Mendelian Genetics: Neonatal Diabetes

The NHGRI Next Generation Mendelian Genetics project uses exome resequencing to identify variants in unsolved Mendelian diseases. Neonatal diabetes mellitus (ND) is a rare form of monogenic diabetes (90,000-260,000 live births) that is diagnosed in the first 6 months of life. The disease has been classified as transient or permanent and although it can be inherited, more frequently is sporadic as a result of 'de novo' mutations. Defects in 12 genes have been found as responsible for the disease (defects in the paternally imprinted chromosomal region 6q24, IPF1, SLCA2A, INS, EIF2AK3, GCK, FOXP3, GLIS3, PTF1A, HNF1Beta, KCNJ11 and ABCC8). The two subunits of the ATP-sensitive K channel (ABCC8 and KCNJ11) and the insulin gene (INS), account for almost half of the cases and similar to CHI, the other half, remains genetically unexplained. We became part of this study when we submitted 4 DNA samples for exome sequencing, from patients with NDM of Caucasian ancestry, which had no mutations identified in ABCC8 or KCNJ1, with the goal to identify new mutations in known genes or new mutations or genetic variants in new genes.

SNPs and Extent of Atherosclerosis (SEA) Study

The SEA study is a genome-wide association study to identify genetic variants associated with premature atherosclerosis in subjects included in the Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth (PDAY) repository - a unique NHLBI resource including data, DNA and arterial specimens from over 3000 multi-ethnic subjects 15-34 years of age who died of non-atherosclerotic causes (mostly trauma). All PDAY subjects had post-mortem quantitative assessment of raised atherosclerotic lesions in their aorta and coronary arteries - making this the largest and most carefully phenotyped cohort for premature atherosclerosis in the world. The goal of the current project was to use the quantitative measure of raised atherosclerotic lesions in the PDAY cohort as the target phenotype for a genome-wide association study and to use quantitative measures of subclinical atherosclerosis (coronary calcium and carotid IMT) in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) to confirm or refute candidate loci identified from the PDAY analysis. Identifying genetic factors that predispose individuals to premature atherosclerosis could lead to more effective screening and early treatment of high risk individuals and suggest novel molecular targets for treatment and prevention interventions.

SHANK2 mutations associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder cause hyperconnectivity of human neurons

Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the synaptic scaffolding gene SHANK2 are strongly associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To investigate their effect on synaptic connectivity, we generated cortical neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from neurotypic and ASD-affected donors. We developed Sparse coculture for Connectivity (SparCon) assays where SHANK2 and control neurons were differentially labeled and sparsely seeded together on a lawn of unlabeled control neurons. We observed striking increases in dendrite length, dendrite complexity, total synapse number, and frequency of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents. These findings were phenocopied in gene-edited homozygous SHANK2 knockout cells and rescued by gene correction of an ASD SHANK2 muation, supporting a role for SHANK2 as a regulator of connectivity in developing human neurons. Dendrite length increases were exacerbated by IGF1, TG003, or BDNF, and suppressed by DHPG treatment. The transcriptome in these isogenic SHANK2 neurons was deeply perturbed in synapse, plasticity, and neuronal morphogenesis gene sets and ASD gene modules, and activity-dependent dendrite extension was impaired. Our unexpected findings provide evidence for hyperconnectivity and profoundly altered transcriptome in SHANK2 neurons derived from ASD subjects.

Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research (CSER): Clinical sequencing in cancer: Clinical, ethical, and technological studies

The Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research (CSER) program supports multi-disciplinary projects that bring together clinicians, bioinformaticians, and ethicists to research the challenges of utilizing genomic sequence data in the clinic in the routine practice of medicine. The challenges are many and not disease-specific. Important aims of the research include: development of technical specifications and standards for sequencing in a clinical setting, investigation of methods to transmit genome-scale data to physicians in a fashion and timescale that fits the normal clinical workflow, exploration of regulatory requirements for applying genomic sequence data to patient care, study of physician and patient preferences regarding presentation of genomic information, and study of the ethical implications of returning unanticipated findings. More information about CSER and the investigators and institutions who comprise the CSER consortium can be found at http://www.genome.gov/27546194. The NEXT (New Exome Technology) Medicine Study utilizes a randomized controlled trial (RCT) structure to compare usual care (UC) practice in Medical Genetics Clinics with the introduction of a powerful research tool of whole exome sequencing plus UC practices for Colorectal Cancer and Polyposis (CRCP) in adults. In doing so, the study aims to explore the practical, economic, and ethical implications of identifying and returning incidental findings ("extra" whole exome genetic risk results not associated with CRCP that includes pharmacogenetic variants) to patients. The study will also attempt to identify novel causal genes for CRCP by studying relatives of selected research subjects.
