• Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumoroids reveal subgroup-specific drug vulnerabilities DNA-Methylation

  Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATRTs) represent a rare, but aggressive pediatric brain tumor entity. They are genetically uniquely defined by alterations in the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex members SMARCB1 or SMARCA4. ATRTs can be further classified in different molecular subgroups based on their epigenetic profiles. Although recent studies suggest that the different subgroups have distinct clinical features, subgroup-specific treatment regimens have not been developed thus far. This is hampered by the lack of pre-clinical in vitro models representative of the different molecular subgroups. Here, we describe the establishment of ATRT tumoroid models from the ATRT-MYC and ATRT-SHH subgroups. We demonstrate that ATRT tumoroids retain subgroup-specific epigenetic and gene expression profiles. High throughput drug screens on our ATRT tumoroids revealed distinct drug sensitivities between and within ATRT-MYC and ATRT-SHH subgroups. Whereas ATRT-MYC universally displayed high sensitivity to multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors, ATRT-SHH showed a more heterogeneous response with a subset showing high sensitivity to Notch inhibitors, which corresponded to high expression of Notch receptors. Our ATRT tumoroids represent the first pediatric brain tumor organoid model, providing a representative pre-clinical model which enables the development of subgroup-specific therapies.

• Public Access Defibrillation Community Trial (PAD)(PAD-BioLINCC)

  Data Access NOTE: Please refer to the “Authorized Access” section below for information about how access to the data from this accession differs from many other dbGaP accessions. Objectives The Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) Community Trial sought to evaluate broad implementation of Public Access Defibrillators (PAD) in urban community units. Survival to hospital discharge of participants with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was the main outcome measure. Survival was compared in community units (e.g., apartment or office buildings, gated communities, sports venues, senior centers, shopping malls) served by non-medical responders trained in CPR and use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), to units receiving the traditional optimum community standard of care (i.e., rescuers trained to recognize a cardiac emergency, call 911, and initiate CPR). Background Sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OOH-CA) remains a significant cause of death, in spite of recent declines in overall mortality from cardiovascular disease. Existing methods of emergency resuscitation are inadequate due to time delays inherent in transporting trained responders with defibrillation capabilities to the side of the OOH-CA victim. Existing Emergency Medical Services (EMS) systems typically combine paramedic Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) services with some level of community involvement, such as bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training. Some communities include automated external defibrillators (AEDs) at isolated sites or in mobile police or fire vehicles. Such an approach typically varies in effectiveness, with an incremental improvement in effectiveness seen in communities that organize and integrate services with the existing EMS system. However, optimal improvement in survival from sudden OOH-CA may require a program that utilizes volunteer non-medical responders (who may not have a traditional duty to respond to an emergency) trained to use AEDs. Participants The PAD trial was a prospective, randomized community based trial. More than 19,000 volunteer responders from 993 community units in 24 North American regions participated. The two study arms had similar unit and volunteer characteristics. Participants with treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the two groups were similar in age (mean: 69.8 years), proportion of men (67 perecnt), rate of cardiac arrest in a public location (70 percent), and rate of witnessed cardiac arrest (72 percent). Conclusions Community units with volunteers trained in CPR and AEDs had significantly more participants surviving to hospital discharge than units with volunteers trained to use CPR only. There were 30 survivors among 128 definite cardiac arrests in the CPR+AED units and 15 survivors among 107 definite cardiac arrests in the CPR only units (p = 0.03). Serious adverse effects were rarely reported. No volunteers received inadvertent shocks, and no participants were shocked unnecessarily. AED maintenance problems were infrequent. A few participating volunteers reported severe stress related to responding to emergency situations. Although residential complexes represented 16% of the units and 29% of the treatable cardiac arrests, only 5% of the survivors were from residential complexes. Such information should be helpful for individual facilities that are considering implementing PAD programs. (NEJM 2004; 351:637-46).

• Progress in Diabetes Genetics in Youth (ProDIGY) Exome Sequencing Study: SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth

  The ~52,000 sample Type 2 Diabetes Exome Sequencing project is a collaboration of six consortia with various funding mechanisms that have joined together to investigate genetic variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D) using the largest T2D case/control sample set compiled to date. This includes samples from: Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Exploration by Next-generation sequencing in multi-Ethnic Samples (T2D-GENES) Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes (GoT2D) Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) Slim Initiative in Genomic Medicine for the Americas (SIGMA) Lundbeck Foundation Centre for Applied Medical Genomics in Personalised Disease Prediction, Prevention, and Care (LuCAMP) Progress in Diabetes Genetics in Youth (ProDIGY) This data generated from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth cohort was part of the ProDIGY (Progress in Diabetes Genetics in Youth) consortium, which is a NIDDK-funded research consortium that investigated genetic variants for childhood type 2 diabetes (T2D). This consortium involved sequencing multiethnic samples from childhood T2D cases located across the United States. The individuals were obtained from over 20 cohorts across the 6 consortia that are listed in Table 1. The strategy was to perform deep exome sequencing of individuals, 24,991 with T2D and 24,953 controls, divided among five ancestry groups: Europeans, East Asians, South Asians, American Hispanics, and African Americans. The T2D-GENES, ProDIGY and SIGMA studies, sequencing was performed at the Broad Institute using the Agilent v2 capture reagent or Illumina Rapid Capture on Illumina HiSeq machines.

• Prevention and Early Treatment of Acute Lung Injury Network - Reevaluation of Systemic Early Neuromuscular Blockade (PETAL ROSE-BioLINCC)

  Data Access NOTE: Please refer to the "Authorized Access" section below regarding accessing data through the BioData Catalyst ecosystem. The data from this accession is not available for download through dbGaP. Available Data: The data available for request now include Long Term Outcome data.Biospecimens: Access to Biospecimens is through the NHLBI Biologic Specimen and Data Repository Information Coordinating Center (BioLINCC). Biospecimens from PETAL ROSE include Plasma, DNA, Whole Blood, and Urine. Please note that use of biospecimens in genetic research is subject to a tiered consent.Objectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of early neuromuscular blockade with concomitant heavy sedation as compared with a strategy of usual care with lighter sedation targets in patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS.Background: It has been well established that the approaches used for the application of mechanical ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can affect survival and outcomes after discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU). A large, multicenter trial conducted a decade before this study reported that the early administration of a 48-hour infusion of neuromuscular blockade in patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS (defined by a ratio of the partial pressure of arterial oxygen [Pao2] to the fraction of inspired oxygen [Fio2] of Participants: There were 1006 participants.Design: PETAL-ROSE was a multicenter, unblinded, randomized trial of patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive 48 hours of continuous neuromuscular blockade with concomitant deep sedation (intervention group) or to receive usual care without routine neuromuscular blockade and with lighter sedation targets (control group).Patients in the intervention group who were not under deep sedation at baseline were deeply sedated within 4 hours after randomization. Subsequently, patients in this group received an intravenous bolus of 15 mg of cisatracurium, followed by a continuous infusion of 37.5 mg per hour for 48 hours. After the 48-hour trial intervention period, decisions regarding further use of neuromuscular blockade, including the choice of agent, were left to the discretion of the treating clinician. Neuromuscular blockade could be stopped early if the patient met the criteria for freedom from mechanical ventilation (Fio2 ≤0.40 and PEEP ≤8 cm of water) for at least 12 hours. All patients were treated with a strategy of low tidal volume ventilation within 2 hours after randomization and a high PEEP strategy for up to 5 days after randomization. Assessors who were unaware of the group assignment interviewed surviving patients or their proxies at 3, 6, and 12 months after randomization. The primary end point was in-hospital death from any cause at 90 days (in-hospital was defined as the time in the trial hospital plus transfer to another hospital, including the time in long-term acute care facilities). Conclusions: After the second interim analysis, the decision to stop the trial for futility was made independently by the data and safety monitoring board.In critically ill patients identified shortly after the diagnosis of moderate-to-severe ARDS, the addition of early continuous neuromuscular blockade with concomitant deep sedation did not result in lower mortality than a usual-care approach to mechanical ventilation that included lighter sedation targets.

• Use of Whole Genome Sequencing for Diagnosis and Discovery in the Cancer Genetics Clinic

  Despite the potential of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to improve patient diagnosis and care, the empirical value of WGS in the cancer genetics clinic is unknown. We performed WGS on members of two cohorts of cancer genetics patients: those with BRCA1/2 mutations (n = 176) and those without (n = 82). Initial analysis of potentially pathogenic variants (PPVs, defined as nonsynonymous variants with allele frequency < 1% in ESP6500) in 163 clinically-relevant genes suggested that WGS will provide useful clinical results. This is despite the fact that a majority of PPVs were novel missense variants likely to be classified as variants of unknown significance (VUS). Furthermore, previously reported pathogenic missense variants did not always associate with their predicted diseases in our patients. This suggests that the clinical use of WGS will require large-scale efforts to consolidate WGS and patient data to improve accuracy of interpretation of rare variants. While loss-of-function (LoF) variants represented only a small fraction of PPVs, WGS identified additional cancer risk LoF PPVs in patients with known BRCA1/2 mutations and led to cancer risk diagnoses in 21% of non-BRCA cancer genetics patients after expanding our analysis to 3209 ClinVar genes. These data illustrate how WGS can be used to improve our ability to discover patients' cancer genetic risks. "Reprinted from doi:10.1016/j.ebiom.2014.12.003, with permission from EBioMedicine."

• Single Cell Genotypic and Phenotypic Analysis of Measurable Residual Disease in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

  Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a group of blood cancers with high mortality. Even though complete remission is often achieved, majority of the AML patients still relapse. Measurable residual disease (MRD), defined as the population of cancer cells which persists following chemotherapy, is responsible for AML relapse. Understanding the biology enabling MRD clones to resist therapy is necessary to guide the development of curative treatments more effectively. Discriminating residual leukemic clones, preleukemic clones, and normal precursors remains a challenge with current MRD tools. We developed a single cell MRD (scMRD) assay by combining flow cytometric enrichment of the targeted precursor/blast population with integrated single cell DNA sequencing (scDNA-seq) and immunophenotyping (Tapestri, Missionbio). The platform utilizes a custom amplicon panel covering 109 amplicons across 31 genes frequently mutated in AML and a panel of 42 oligo-conjugated antibodies against surface makers. We applied our scMRD assay to sequence 30 MRD samples (multiplexed into 6) from 29 AML patients to study the clonal architecture and protein correlation. In addition, 2 MRD samples were sequenced with scDNA+protein sequencing technology without enrichment or multiplexing. Five patients with AML at diagnosis were also sequenced with scDNA+protein sequencing technology without enrichment or multiplexing. In order to establish the sensitivity of our scMRD assay, we spiked AML cells into normal bone marrow cells. We sequenced 12 such spiked samples after multiplexing.

• DNA methylation at HBV integrants and flanking host genomes

  Integration of DNA viruses into the human genome plays an important role in various types of tumors, including hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the molecular details and clinical impact of HBV integration on either the human or HBV epigenomes are unknown. Here, we show that methylation of the integrated HBV DNA is related to the methylation status of the flanking human genome. We developed a next-generation sequencing-based method for structural methylation analysis of integrated viral genomes (denoted G-NaVI). This method is a novel approach that enables enrichment of viral fragments for sequencing using unique baits based on the sequence of the HBV genome. We detected integrated HBV sequences in the genome of the PLC/PRF/5 cell line and found variable levels of methylation within the integrated HBV genomes. Allele-specific methylation analysis revealed that the HBV genome often became significantly methylated when integrated into highly methylated host sites. After integration into unmethylated human genome regions such as promoters, however, the HBV DNA remains unmethylated and may eventually play an important role in tumorigenesis. The observed dynamic changes in DNA methylation of the host and viral genomes may functionally affect the biological behavior of HBV. These findings may impact public health given that millions of people worldwide are carriers of HBV. We also believe our assay will be a powerful tool to increase our understanding of the various types of DNA virus-associated tumorigenesis.

• Atypical B cells and impaired SARS-CoV-2 neutralisation following heterologous vaccination in the elderly

  Age is a major risk factor for hospitalization and death after SARS-CoV-2 infection, even in vaccinees. Suboptimal responses to a primary vaccination course have been reported in the elderly, but there is little information regarding the impact of age on responses to booster third doses. Here we show that individuals 70 or older who received a primary two dose schedule with AZD1222 and booster third dose with mRNA vaccine achieved significantly lower neutralizing antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2 spike pseudotyped virus compared to those below 70 at one month post booster. Neither the concentration of serum binding anti spike IgG antibody, nor the frequency of spike- specific B cells showed differences by age grouping. Impaired neutralization potency and breadth post-third dose in the elderly was associated with enrichment of circulating “atypical” spike-specific B cells expressing CD11c and FCRL5. Presence of these atypical B cells was confirmed by scRNA seq. However, when considering individuals who received three doses of mRNA vaccine, we did not observe statistically significant differences in neutralization or enrichment in atypical B cells by age grouping following dose 3. Together, our data reveal impaired neutralising antibody responses in the elderly after heterologous vaccination with AdV followed by mRNA booster dose, but not in homologous three dose mRNA vaccination highlighting that different vaccine formats differentially instruct the memory B cell response.

• Genomic Characterization of Meningiomas

  Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumor in the US. Although the tumor suppressor gene NF2 is disrupted in approximately half of meningiomas, the complete spectrum of genetic changes in meningiomas remains poorly understood, particularly in the large subset of tumors without NF2 alterations. Therefore we performed whole-genome sequencing from 11 Grade I meningioma tumor-normal pairs and whole-exome sequencing from an additional 6 tumor-normal pairs to identify somatic mutations, insertions-deletions, copy-number alterations and rearrangements. We validated our results by performing focused sequencing across 48 additional meningiomas.

• Identification of Putative Neoantigens in Stage III Melanoma

  This study of three metastatic melanoma patients utilized exome sequencing and RNA sequencing to help identify putative neoantigen peptides that could be further validated by standard immunological assays before design of a personalized vaccine. For each set of neoantigens identified and verified by standard assays, we designed GMP peptides that correspond to the top neoantigens, then used these to condition dendritic cell isolates from each patient. The conditioned dendritic cells were used as the vaccine in three rounds of vaccination, followed by monitoring for T cell memory response to each of the neoantigens.

• Inherited Defect in ST6GalNAc1 Reveals Roles of Sialylation in Intestinal Homeostasis

  We have conducted a study of patients with unique mutations in the gene ST6GALNAC1 that encodes the protein ST6GALNAC1 (ST6). Exome sequencing was used to screen worldwide inflammatory bowel disease cohorts, which identified human loss of function mutations of ST6 in individual patients. The affected patients had very early onset (< 6 years old) inflammatory bowel disease. A comprehensive investigation of these gene mutations through in vivo and in vitro experiments revealed that decreased sialylation caused defective mucus proteins and congenital inflammatory bowel disease.

• Discordant_Monozygotic_Twins_ALS(Genetics)

  Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease. Regarding genetic factors, pathogenetic mutations in more than 35 genes have been identified as playing a role in disease pathogenesis. However, a substantial portion of ALS heritability remains unaccounted for, pointing to the potential involvement of additional genetic and epigenetic factors. For this reason, we conducted a multi-omics study on a monozygotic twin pair discordant for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, performing whole exome sequencing, transcriptomic and epigenetic analyses to gain crucial insights into underlying pathogenetic disease mechanisms. Here, we share genetic data.

• Anaplastic_Meningioma_WGS_X10

  Anaplastic meningiomas are a rare, malignant variant of meningioma. At present there is no effective treatment for this cancer. The aim of the study is to identify somatic mutations in anaplastic meningiomas. We plan to sequence a set of 500 known cancer genes in 50 anaplastic meningioma and corresponding peripheral blood DNA samples. Bioinformatics will be used to analyse the results to assess the probability of these mutations being causal and so likely of critical importance for the tumour growth. Identification of these mutations will guide selection of appropriate compounds to effectively treat the disease.

• RNA-seq of Toxoplasma gondii response in human macrophages

  Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease caused by a ubiquitous protozoan parasite called Toxoplasma gondii, which can infect all mammal and bird species throughout the world. seroprevalence varies widely between countries. Studies have estimated that between 7-34% of people in the UK have been infected with T. gondii. The vast majority of these people will not have noticed any symptoms, however about 10% of people develop a mild to moderate self limiting flu-like illness. Following the acute active stage of the infection the parasite persists in the body in the form of cysts, particularly in heart and skeletal muscle and nervous system tissues, for many years, and usually for life. In immunocompetent persons these cysts do not pose a health risk. We will use RNA-seq to quantify the transcriptional response of macrophages to T gondii infection.

• Human liver mtDNA sequencing

  BAM files containing paired-end mtDNA sequencing data from morphologically normal human liver. Clonal CCO-deficient patches of hepatocytes were identified in human liver samples, and samples were taken along a line spanning approximately from the portal triad to the central hepatic vein. Individual BAM files are named according to their patch, line and cut, where cut 1 is nearest to the portal triad, and cuts 2, 3 etc. lying further from the portal triad. Other file types include "Bulk" samples, contain sequencing data of the remaining CCO-deficient cells that were not sampled as part of the line of cuts, and "Stroma" control samples (used for identifying germ-line variants).

• Sebaceous carcinoma tumor/normal exome sequencing and transcriptome sequencing. Transcriptome sequencing of

  Sebaceous carcinomas (SeC) are cutaneous malignancies that, in rare cases, metastasize and prove fatal. Here we report whole exome sequencing on 32 SeC, revealing distinct mutational classes that explain both cancer ontogeny and clinical course. A UV-damage signature predominated 10/32 samples, while 9 were instead defined by microsatellite instability (MSI) mutations. UV-damage SeC exhibited poorly differentiated, infiltrative histopathologycompared to MSI signature SeC (p = 0.003), features previously associated with dissemination. Strikingly, UV-damage SeC transcriptomes and anatomic distributionclosely resembling those of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), implicating sun-exposed keratinocytes as a cell of origin. Like SCC, this UV-damage subclass harbors a high somatic mutation burden with >50 mutations/Mb, predicting immunotherapeutic response. In contrast, ocular SeC acquire far fewer mutations without a dominant signature, but show frequent truncating mutations in the ZNF750 epidermal differentiation regulator. Our data exemplify how different mutational processes convergently drive histopathologically related but clinically distinct cancers.

• MGMT genomic rearrangements contribute to chemotherapy resistance in gliomas

  Temozolomide (TMZ) is an oral alkylating agent used for the treatment of glioblastoma and is now becoming a chemotherapeutic option in patients diagnosed with high-risk low-grade gliomas. The O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is responsible for the direct repair of the main TMZ-induced toxic DNA adduct, the O6-Methylguanine lesion. MGMT promoter hypermethylation is currently the only known biomarker for TMZ response in glioblastoma patients. Here we show that a subset of recurrent gliomas carry MGMT genomic rearrangements that lead to MGMT overexpression, independently from changes in its promoter methylation. By leveraging the CRISPR/Cas9 technology we generated some of these MGMT rearrangements in glioma cells and demonstrated that they lead to TMZ resistance both in vitro and in vivo. Lastly we showed that such fusions can be detected in tumor-derived exosomes and could potentially represent an early detection marker of tumor recurrence in a subset of patients treated with TMZ.

• An epigenetic single-cell atlas of IDH-mutant glioma reveals the role of ATRX in shaping tumor composition

  Recent single-cell RNA-sequencing studies have identified a hierarchy of cell types that is common to all isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) -mutant gliomas. This finding is somewhat paradoxical since the genetic differences between IDH-mutant astrocytomas and IDH-mutant oligodendrogliomas are prognostic, predictive of therapeutic response, and correlated with differences in immune infiltrates. To integrate these disparate findings, we constructed a single-cell atlas of 22 human IDH-mutant primary untreated grade-II/III gliomas.

  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.

• 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.

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. .

• Single cell transcriptional evolution of myeloid leukaemia of Down syndrome – WGS

  Abstract: Children with Down syndrome have a 150-fold increased risk of developing myeloid leukaemia (ML-DS). Unusually for a childhood leukaemia, ML-DS arises from a preleukaemic state, termed transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM), and via a conserved sequence of mutations. Here, we examined the relationship between the genetic and transcriptional evolution of ML-DS from a rich collection of primary patient samples through single cell mRNA sequencing, complemented by phylogenetic analyses in progressive disease. We distilled the transcriptional consequence of each genetic step in the evolution of ML-DS, showing that TAM-defining GATA1 mutations account for most of the ML-DS transcriptome, including those of progressive disease. This transcriptional backbone may thus represent a common vulnerability in ML-DS. We extracted the transcriptional difference between TAM and ML-DS which, unexpectedly, reflected features shared across childhood leukaemia. Our approach delineates the transcriptional evolution of ML-DS and provides an analytical blueprint for distilling consequences of mutations directly from patient samples.

• Whole_genome_sequencing_of_100_DDD_trios_with_suspected_noncoding_causal_mutations

  We would like to whole-genome sequence 100 trios (300 individuals) from the DDD project in which we suspect the proband has a pathogenic noncoding mutation, to 30X coverage. These have been carefully selected to maximise the chances of finding pathogenic noncoding mutations. Specifically, we have selected probands who have no likely causal mutation within the coding region but who have a heterozygous loss-of-function mutation inherited from one parent in a known recessive developmental disorder gene, and whose phenotype is a good match for the typical phenotype caused by recessive variants in that gene. We suspect that these probands may have a heterozygous noncoding mutation on the other allele which reduces expression of the gene so that, together, these two mutations are effectively equivalent to a homozygous loss-of-function mutation. About a quarter of the probands have affected siblings and, if those siblings have been exome sequenced, we have checked that they are identical-by-descent in the region of the gene. We propose to search in the promoter region, intronic and annotated regulatory regions around these genes of interest for rare variants inherited from the other parent (i.e. not the one who transmitted the loss-of-function variant), or de novo variants. If we find such variants, and demonstrate an enrichment of this compound heterozygous LoF noncoding mechanism above that expected by chance, we intend to follow up specific candidates by RNAseq and potentially CRISPR/Cas9 experiments.

We find that expression, defined as the log transcripts per million reads (TPMs), is highly correlated when comparing the moderate (13.9M) and lower (5.9M) coverage datasets. Additionally, a subset of about 150 individuals provided fibroblast cell lines which were assessed for the levels of gene expression using RNA-seq at an average of 50 million mapped reads per sample. We use downsampling techniques to generate synthetic datasets derived from this real fibroblast RNA-Seq data to explore the relationship between coverage and number individuals in an eQTL analysis. Corresponding individual-level genotypes for the samples included in the expression matrix are also made available. The genotypes were derived from multiple other project cohorts, each using different genotyping platforms including OmniExpress Exome, Global Screening Array, Illumina550, and PsychChip. A Plink file set of these cohorts is provided here after merging the separate project file sets and extracting only the individuals who have expression data also provided here; quality control for SNP-missingness is recommended. We demonstrate in this study that given a fixed budget, eQTL discovery power can be increased by lowering the sequencing depth per sample to allow for an a greater number of individuals sequenced.

• PROstate Cancer Medically Optimized Genome Enhanced ThErapy (PROMOTE) of Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Patients Treated with Abiraterone Acetate

  The Prostate Cancer Medically Optimized Genome-Enhanced Therapy (PROMOTE) study uses genetic clues in castration-resistant prostate cancer that may identify an individualized treatment approach for men with the disease. Understanding the molecular biology behind castration-resistant prostate cancer has led to more treatment options, but there are still no definite conclusions about which specific drug best treats patients - maximum suppression of cancer growth while minimizing side effects. The PROMOTE study explores the genetic characteristics of each tumor to predict these treatment paradigms for the future, resulting in more effective and less toxic options for patients. Our long-term goal is to improve treatments for men with advanced prostate cancer by using genomic sequencing to increase life span and quality of life. We also will uncover novel vulnerable targets in the cancer genome that may provide new drug therapies. PARTICIPATION Eligible participants are men: With castration-resistant prostate cancer or prostate cancer not responding to hormone treatments About to begin abiraterone acetate therapy Agreeable to undergoing two tumor biopsies During the study, participants travel to Mayo Clinic for an initial biopsy (before beginning abiraterone acetate) and a second biopsy approximately three months later. The cell tissue collected is analyzed to identify gene alterations in the tumor that could eventually be targeted with treatments. Tissue is preserved for future research. Participants can continue to be treated by their local cancer care team during this period and beyond. In addition, the Mayo team carefully monitors participants' cancer via follow-up studies and the genetic signature of tumors that were biopsied so that patients may benefit from future treatments.

• Intraductal transplantation models of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma reveal progressive transition of molecular subtypes

  Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most lethal common malignancy, with little improvement in patient outcomes over the past few decades. Recently, subtypes of pancreatic cancer with different prognoses have been elaborated. However, the inability to model these subtypes has precluded mechanistic investigation of their origins. Here, we present an orthotopic xenotransplantation model of human patient-derived PDAC organoids in which organoids are grafted via direct injection into the pancreatic duct of immunocompromised (NSG) mice. Tumors that arise from these intraductally grafted organoids (IGOs) enable the distinction of the two main PDAC subtypes: intraepithelial neoplasms from this model progress in an indolent or invasive manner representing the classical or basal-like subtypes of PDAC, respectively, depending on which organoid they originate from. RNA-sequencing was used to characterize the tumors that resulted from IGO xenografts, and to compare the fast- and slow-progressing IGO tumors. Tumors generated using a traditional orthotopic xenograft model, in which organoids are injected into the parenchyma of the pancreas (i.e. orthotopically grafted organoids, or OGOs), were also sequenced for comparison with the IGO tumors. To further characterize the model, laser-capture microdissection followed by RNA-sequencing was used to compare intraductal to invasive lesions resulting from IGOs. To better understand the connection between KRAS signaling and the fast-progressing phenotype, RNA-sequencing was used to compare cultured organoids in which oncogenic KRAS (GeneID: 3845) was hyperactivated to control organoids, and to compare laser-capture microdissected lesions derived from IGOs of KRAS-hyperactivated organoids to lesions derived from control organoids. To ascertain copy number, low-coverage, whole genome DNA-sequencing was performed on organoids cultured in vitro, and on laser-capture microdissected lesions derived from IGO tumors.

• Human Gene Expression Patterns Associated with Experimental P. falciparum Infection

  Description: Experimental exposure to malaria parasites can lead to development of protective immunity, providing a foothold for the development of a malaria vaccine. The goal of this study is to investigate immune transcriptional profiles associated with malaria protective immune responses induced by experimental Chemo-Prophylaxis and Sporozoites (CPS) immunization of P. falciparum-naive human volunteers. Samples for this study were obtained from a CPS-immunization study conducted in 2011 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01218893), where healthy volunteers received CPS-immunization with bites from different numbers of P. falciparum-infected mosquitoes (three times 15 (n=5), 10 (n=9) or 5 (n=10)). Five control subjects received uninfected mosquito bites under chloroquine prophylaxis. Fifteen weeks after discontinuation of chloroquine prophylaxis, all volunteers were challenged by exposure to infected mosquito bites. Study Design: A maximum of 30 volunteers were divided into four groups. All volunteers received weekly chloroquine prophylaxis for a period of 13 weeks (91 days). During these 13 weeks, on days 8, 36 and 64 they were exposed to the bites of 15 mosquitoes. Group 1 (n=5, positive control) received three CPS immunizations by 15 mosquitoes infected with P. falciparum sporozoites. Group 2 (n=10) received three times 10 bites from infected mosquitoes and 5 bites from uninfected mosquitoes. Group 3 (n=10) received three times 5 bites from infected mosquitoes and 10 bites from uninfected mosquitoes. Group 4 (n=5), the negative control, received three placebo immunizations with 15 bites of uninfected mosquitoes. Fifteen weeks after discontinuation of chloroquine prophylaxis, all 30 volunteers were challenged at day 196 by the bites of 5 infectious mosquitoes and followed for 21 days. All subjects were treated with chloroquine 21 days after challenge or whenever they had a positive thick smear during that period.

• A Population Genomics Study Using a Disease-Targeted Cell model: Integration of

  The common genetic variants associated with complex traits typically lie in non-coding DNA and may alter gene regulation in a cell type-specific manner. Consequently, the choice of tissue or cell model in the dissection of disease associations is important. We carried out an expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) study of primary human osteoblasts (HOb) derived from 95 unrelated donors of Swedish origin, each represented by two independently derived primary lines to provide biological replication. We combined our data with publicly available information from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of bone mineral density (BMD). The top 2000 BMD-associated SNPs were tested for cis-association of gene expression in HObs and in lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) using publicly available data and showed that HObs have a significantly greater enrichment (threefold) of converging cis-eQTLs as compared to LCLs. The top 10 BMD loci with SNPs showing strong cis-effects on gene expression in HObs were selected for further validation using a staged design in two cohorts of Caucasian male subjects. All 10 variants were tested in the Swedish MrOS Cohort (n = 3014), providing evidence for two novel BMD loci (SRR and MSH3). These variants were then tested in the Rotterdam Study (n = 2090), yielding converging evidence for BMD association at the 17p13.3 SRR locus. The cis-regulatory effect was further fine-mapped to the proximal promoter of the SRR gene (rs3744270). Our results suggest that primary cells relevant to disease phenotypes complement traditional approaches for prioritization and validation of GWAS hits for follow-up studies.

• ChiLDReN/BA: Genetic Studies of Biliary Atresia in the Childhood Liver Disease Research Network

  Biliary atresia (BA) is a progressive necroinflammatory process initially involving the extra-hepatic biliary tree. Little is known about the factors that cause BA or the factors that influence disease progression. A variety of genetic, autoimmune, and environmental influences have been hypothesized to be important. Most studies to date have focused on the neonate and young child with BA, yet the older surviving child with BA can provide important information about genetics as well as natural history.The Childhood Liver Disease Research Network (ChiLDReN) conducts two longitudinal and observational studies that include BA patients: Biliary Atresia Study in Infants and Children (BASIC) and A Prospective Database of Infants with Cholestasis (PROBE). Using samples from participants in these two protocols, we have formed the largest known data set of biliary atresia patients in the world. ChiLDReN is performing a series of genomic analyses, with subsequent analyses being released as subsequent versions of this registration, phs003356. Version 1 concerns PKD1L1.About the PKD1L1 Analysis (phs003356.v1): While multiple factors have been implicated in the perinatal biliary injuries that characterize BA, a definitive etiology has not yet been established. This study is part of a larger project to characterize the largest cohort of pediatric BA patients through whole-exome sequencing (WES). In this analysis, we examine the WES of those with various laterality defects to determine whether genetic factors could be identified to explicate the etiopathogenesis of BA in biliary atresia splenic malformation (BASM) syndrome. We specifically explored variations in the PKD1L1 gene, which recently has been identified in mouse models as playing a role in laterality.

• Genetic Investigations of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

  Design and Aims:We conducted whole-exome DNA sequencing on 152 parent-child trios (456 individuals total) that included a child meeting DSM-IV or DSM-5 criteria for ADHD along with both biological parents to identify rare de novo damaging DNA variants associated with ADHD risk. Mutation rates were compared between 147 ADHD trios and 780 unaffected control trios. We aimed to identify specific ADHD risk genes by combining the de novo trio data with rare variant data from an independent case-control cohort.Population Information:ADHD trios were collected from four sites. The 780 control trios were unaffected siblings from the Simons Simplex Collection who scored in the normal range on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) or Adult Behavior Checklist (ABCL) ADHD subscale.Molecular Technologies:Whole-exome DNA sequencing was performed on the ADHD trios using the IDT xGen V1 or Agilent SureSelect All Exon V7 capture and the Illumina NovaSeq6000 sequencer. Control trios were previously sequenced with the NimbleGen SeqCap EzExomeV2 capture and Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer. Joint variant calling was performed for all trios. Rare de novo variants with allele frequency Principal Findings:We found a 1.67-fold enrichment of rare de novo damaging variants and a 1.93-fold enrichment of ultra-rare de novo damaging variants in ADHD cases vs controls. By integrating the de novo data with an independent case-control cohort, KDM5B was identified as a high-confidence ADHD risk gene (FDR=0.04). Three potential risk genes were also identified. Twenty-three genes with ultra-rare damaging de novo variants in ADHD overlapped with previously reported risk genes for other neuropsychiatric conditions. Exploratory analyses showed enrichment of these genes in early neurodevelopmental pathways.

• Analysis of CD20 loss in patients treated with Mosunetuzumab

  CD20 is an established therapeutic target in B-cell malignancies. The CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody mosunetuzumab has significant efficacy in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). Since target antigen loss is a recognized mechanism of resistance, we evaluated the contribution of CD20 expression to clinical response in patients with relapsed and/or refractory NHL in the phase 1/2 GO29781 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02500407) investigating mosunetuzumab monotherapy. CD20 was studied using immunohistochemistry (IHC), RNA sequencing, and whole-exome sequencing performed centrally in biopsies collected prior to treatment, or as paired samples at pre-dose and on-treatment, or at-progression. Prior to treatment, most patients exhibited a high proportion of tumor cells expressing CD20; however, the proportion of CD20+ tumor cells in 14/293 (6%) patients was <10%. Analyses of paired biopsies from patients during treatment revealed that CD20 levels were maintained in 29/30 (97%), vs patients with samples at-progression, in which 11/32 (34%) showed CD20 loss. Reduced transcription or acquisition of truncating mutations explained most but not all cases of CD20 loss. In vitro modeling confirmed the effect of CD20 variants identified in clinical samples on reduction of CD20 expression and confirmed missense mutations in the extracellular domain that could block mosunetuzumab binding. This study expands knowledge about the occurrence of target antigen loss after anti-CD20 therapeutics to CD20-targeting bispecific antibodies and elucidates the underlying mechanisms for reduced CD20 expression at disease progression that may be generalizable to other anti-CD20 targeting agents. These results also establish the utility of readily-available IHC staining for CD20 as a tool to inform clinical decisions.

• Repeat expansions with small TTTCA insertions in MARCHF6 cause Familial Adult Myoclonus without Epilepsy

  Familial Adult Myoclonic Epilepsy (FAME) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by cortical tremulous myoclonus and generalized tonic clonic (GTCS) or myoclonic seizures. Intrafamilial variability regarding the prevalence of seizure has been reported. Despite apparent genetic heterogeneity, FAME is caused by the same TTTTA/TTTCA pentanucleotide repeat expansion in introns of seven different genes with no common function. Expansions containing only TTTTA repeats are benign, and only expansions including a TTTCA expansion insertion, which can be located 3' to the TTTTA expansion or in the middle of the TTTTA repeats, are pathogenic. We aimed to identify the underlying genetic cause of dominant cortical myoclonus without GTCS in two unrelated families. We used a combination of repeat-primed PCR, long-range PCR and nanopore sequencing to detect and characterize expansions at known FAME loci. We report a novel configuration of the FAME3 repeat expansion in MARCHF6 segregating with cortical myoclonus without epilepsy GTCS in both families. This expansion predominantly comprises elongated TTTTA repeats, ranging from 388 to 454 repeats, with the presence of only 5-11 TTTCA repeats at its 3' terminus (i.e., 5’-(TTTTA)~388-454(TTTCA)5-11-3’). This configuration exhibits greater stability upon meiotic transmission but somatic variability in TTTCA repeat number was detected at low level in blood. We observed an inverse correlation between the number of TTTCA repeats and the age at myoclonus onset. This study shows that as little as five TTTCA juxtaposed with expanded TTTTA expansions is sufficient to cause cortical myoclonus without GTCS. This finding has implications regarding possible pathophysiological mechanisms leading to FAME.

• Genesis of Two Most Prevalent Variants Causing Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency in 21 Populations

  Two variants (c.[301_302delAG];[301_302delAG] and c.[150delA];[150delA]) in the PROP1 gene are the most common genetic causes of recessively inherited combined pituitary hormones deficiency (CPHD). Our objective was to analyze in detail the origin of the two most prevalent variants. In the multicentric study were included 237 patients with CPHD and their 15 relatives carrying c.[301_302delAG];[301_302delAG] or c.[150delA];[150delA] or c.[301_302delAG];[ 150delA]. They originated from 21 different countries worldwide. We genotyped 21 single nucleotide variant markers flanking the 9.6Mb region around the PROP1 gene that are not in mutual linkage disequilibrium in the general populations - a finding of a common haplotype would be indicative of ancestral origin of the variant. Haplotypes were reconstructed by Phase and Haploview software, and the variant age was estimated using an allelic association method. We demonstrated ancestral origin of both variants: c.[301_302delAG] was carried on 0.2Mb-long haplotype in a majority of European patients arising approximately 101 generations ago (confidence interval 90.1-116.4). Patients from the Iberian Peninsula displayed a different haplotype which was estimated to have emerged 23.3 (20.1-29.1) generations ago. Subsequently, the data indicated that both haplotypes were transmitted to Latin American patients approximately 13.8 (12.2-17.0) and 16.4 (14.4-20.1) generations ago, respectively. The c.[150delA] variant that was carried on a haplotype spanning about 0.3Mb was estimated to appear 43.7 (38.4-52.7) generations ago. We present strong evidence that the most frequent variants in the PROP1 gene are not a consequence of variant hot-spots as previously assumed, but are founder variants.

• Whole genome sequencing of a breast cancer cohort with known functional homologous recombination status

  Optimal patient selection for PARP inhibitors and double strand break (DSB) inducing chemotherapy is of great clinical importance. In principle, the use of these therapies can be extended beyond germline BRCA1/2 mutated cancers. Although several methods for detection of BRCA-like tumors have been developed, a golden standard is lacking. We have developed the RECAP test, a functional HR assay exploiting the formation of RAD51 foci in proliferating cells after ex vivo irradiation of fresh primary breast cancer (BrC) tissue. The RECAP test seems robust and has an advantage over genetic tests, due to its functional character for exploring the HR phenotype. Another type of HRD test is the BRCAness classifier, which is based on specific genomic patterns derived from copy number data of BRCA1/2 mutated BrCs that also occur in sporadic cancers. The BRCAness classifier is a robust test that is easily applicable in the clinic and has also been validated to predict in vivo response to high dose chemotherapy in clinical trials. More recently, a new HRD test based on genomic signatures which can be extracted from whole genome sequencing has been published, HRDetect. Studies comparing these different HRD tests within the same cohort of patients do not yet exist. Here, we have the unique opportunity to compare three HRD tests within the same cohort. We aim to compare three different HRD tests (RECAP, BRCAness classifier and HRDetect) within the same cohort of primary BrCs (n=41). As a secondary aim, we will analyze additional genetic alterations in HRD tumors (both BRCA-deficient and BRCA-proficient HRD tumors).

• Single_cell_measurements_to_characterise_B_cell_repopulation_in_SLE_after_rituximab_therapy__a_pilot_study

  Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterised by autoantibodies against DNA and nuclear proteins. Kidney involvement (lupus nephritis) is one of the most serious manifestations and is the leading determinant of long-term prognosis. Therapies targeting B cells (e.g. rituximab) are used in the treatment of severe lupus, including lupus nephritis. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that targets the CD20 surface protein on the surface of B cells. Following rituximab treatment, there is near complete depletion of B cells in peripheral blood. Peripheral blood B cells slowly return over a period of months. The speed of repopulation varies but typically B cells have returned to baseline levels between 9 and 12 months post rituximab therapy. Return of B cells may be associated with increased disease activity, but this is not always the case. For example, some patients remain in clinical remission for several years following one cycle of rituximab, despite B cell repopulation, whilst others relapse as soon as the B cell number reaches the normal range. The reasons for the different response remain unclear. The B cell subpopulations that return following B cell depleting therapy have been previously studied using flow cytometry but have never been characterised using single cell -omic technologies and thus no data on their molecular signatures are available. Previous studies have shown that naïve B cells were the predominant repopulating B-cells, indicating de novo production of B cells. Obtaining an integrated understanding of the molecular programs of these cells at the single cell level will enhance our ability to predict disease outcome, to identify patients with poorer B-cell drug responses, understand disease heterogeneity and design more effective B-cell targeted therapies approach.

• Analysis of T-cell receptor clonotypes in tumor micro-environment identifies shared cancer type-specific signatures

  Despite the conventional view that a truly random V(D)J recombination process should generate a highly diverse immune repertoire, emerging reports suggest that there is a certain bias towards the generation of shared/public immune receptor chains. These studies were performed in viral diseases where public T-cell receptors (TCR) appear to confer better protective responses. Selective pressures generating common TCR clonotypes are currently not well understood but it is believed that they confer a growth advantage. As very little is known about public TCR clonotypes in cancer, here we set out to determine the extent of shared TCR clonotypes in the intra-tumor microenvironments of virus- and non-virus- driven head and neck cancers using TCR sequencing. We report that tumor-infiltrating T-cell clonotypes were indeed shared across individuals with the same cancer type, where the majority of shared sequences were specific to the cancer type (ie viral versus non-viral). These shared clonotypes were not particularly enriched in EBV-associated nasopharynx cancer, but in both cancers, exhibited distinct characteristics, namely shorter CDR3 lengths, restricted V- and J-gene usages and also demonstrated convergent V(D)J recombination. Many of these shared TCRs were expressed in patients with a shared HLA background. Pattern recognition of CDR3 amino acid sequences revealed strong convergence to specific motifs that were unique to each cancer type, suggesting they may be enriched for specificity to common antigens found in the tumor microenvironment. The identification of shared TCRs in infiltrating tumor T-cells not only adds to our understanding of the tumor adaptive immune recognition but could also serve as disease-specific biomarkers and guide the development of future immunotherapies.

• A catalog of the genetic causes of Hereditary Angioedema in the Canary Islands (Spain)

  Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disease where known causes involve C1 inhibitor dysfunction or dysregulation of the kinin cascade. The updated HAE management guidelines recommend performing genetic tests to reach a precise diagnosis. Unfortunately, genetic tests are still uncommon in the diagnosis routine. Here, we characterized for the first time the genetic causes of HAE in affected families from the Canary Islands (Spain). Whole-exome sequencing data was obtained from 41 affected patients and unaffected relatives from 29 unrelated families identified in the archipelago. The Hereditary Angioedema Database Annotation (HADA) tool was used for pathogenicity classification and causal variant prioritization among the genes known to cause HAE. Manual reclassification of prioritized variants was used in those families lacking known causal variants. We detected a total of eight different variants causing HAE in this patient series, affecting essentially SERPING1 and F12 genes, one of them being a novel SERPING1 variant (c.686-12A>G) with a predicted splicing effect which was reclassified as likely pathogenic in one family. Altogether, the diagnostic yield by assessing previously reported causal genes and considering variant reclassifications according to the American College of Medical Genetics guidelines reached 66.7% (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 30.1-91.0) in families with more than one affected member and 10.0% (95% CI: 1.8-33.1) among cases without family information for the disease. Despite the genetic causes of many patients remain to be identified, our results reinforce the need of genetic tests as first-tier diagnostic tool in this disease, as recommended by the international WAO/EAACI guidelines for the management of HAE.

• Whole exome and RNA sequencing of organoid samples derived from TRACERx patients

  Immune checkpoint blockade in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) rarely leads to complete tumour remission, suggesting that tumours harbour subpopulations of cancer cells that can escape immune predation. However, while tumours consist of multiple genetically distinct clones, the extent to which separate tumour subclones differ intrinsically in their functional capacity for immune evasion remains largely unexplored. This has been challenging to address due to an inability to isolate and propagate individual tumour subclones from human cancers. Here, we leverage the multi-region TRACERx lung cancer evolution study to generate a patient-derived platform that allows the functional analysis of immune escape at single clone resolution. We generated libraries of >20 separate NSCLC organoid lines per patient by isolating individual (clonal) organoids established from multiple spatially separated tumour regions. Each organoid subline was co-cultured with autologous tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) to evaluate their capacity to elicit a T cell response. Organoid lines derived from separate tumour regions, or from single clones within individual regions, differ vastly in their capacity to elicit a T cell response, showing the coexistence of intrinsically immune evading (‘hot’) and non-evading (‘cold’) clones in the same primary tumour. Organoid lines escaping T cell recognition represent genetically and transcriptionally unique subclones with a distinct evolutionary history, showing that evolutionary sculpting of subclonal diversity can have functional consequences for anti-tumour immunity. Notably, the identification of immune-evasive subclones would not have been possible using computational approaches alone, highlighting the unique value of functional co-culture platforms. This patient-derived functional co-culture platform reveals that tumour evolution can give rise to distinct cancer clones with intrinsic differences in immune evasion capacity and provides an approach to prospectively identify, isolate and characterise immune evading subclones from patients with cancer.
