• Sickle Cell Disease Implementation Consortium Registry (SCDIC Registry-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: To understand the barriers to care and other factors related to reduced healthcare utilization after the transition from pediatric to adult SCD care which may contribute to increased morbidity and mortality.Background: Fifty years ago, it was rare for individuals with SCD to live beyond childhood. Advances in care delivery and treatment have more than doubled the life expectancy of individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD) since 1972. Beginning in the 1970s, measures such as newborn screening, prophylactic administration of penicillin, and immunization against bacterial infections decreased complications and morbidity, increasing the length and quality of life of children with SCD. Blood transfusions are currently the only proven way to prevent some of the major complications of SCD, especially recurrent stroke. They are also used frequently to help manage some of the acute complications of SCD. More recently, the use of hydroxyurea (HU) as a therapeutic agent to increase fetal hemoglobin has been shown to further reduce the debilitating symptoms of and improve survival in SCD. L-glutamine and crizanlizumab are additional treatments to reduce pain crises and voxelotor is approved to lower the risk of anemia and improve blood flow. In the absence of a widely accessible cure, treatment for SCD is usually aimed at avoiding crises, relieving symptoms, and preventing complications. Many of the advances in treatment have not translated into an increase in longevity or quality of life for adolescents and adults because of disparities in access to routine primary health care.Individuals with SCD experience a markedly increased mortality beginning in the second decade of life. The third and later decades of life are frequently associated with severe chronic pain progressive organ damage and frequent hospitalizations. The provision of evidence-based and expert opinion-based care in SCD is complicated by the difficulties that many patients experience in obtaining access to the health care system and in receiving long-term care from knowledgeable providers. A registry of 2,400 people with SCD was established to provide a rich resource to study the natural history of SCD and to understand barriers to care during the transition from pediatric to adult care. Participants: 2,438 participants with a confirmed diagnosis of SCD were enrolled into the registry over an 18-month period. At the time of enrollment, all participants were 15-45 years of age, English speaking, and without a bone marrow transplant.Design: The SCDIC Registry is a longitudinal observational cohort study. At enrollment, data collection included a medical record abstraction of clinical history, the most recent lab results, and a participant survey which included several patient reported outcomes from PROMIS, ASCQ-Me and NeuroQoL. Similar surveys were administered at annual follow-up. Four to five years after enrollment, a second record abstraction was completed with all clinical events that occurred since enrollment and another set of recent labs. There were many research questions proposed to be answered with the study data thus there was no primary outcome.Conclusions: As noted previously, there were no primary outcomes determined at the start of the study. Research questions included examination of co-morbidities, healthcare utilization, and patient reported outcomes. Key findings from the Registry include:Executive dysfunction, learning difficulties, and poor comprehension significantly associated with poor activities of daily living skills. Executive dysfunction also associated with HU non-adherence. Continuing HU after conception increased odds of miscarriage or stillbirth compared to women who were not using HU. Continuing HU after conception increased odds of low birth weight in infants. Compared to adolescents, young adults had significantly more severe pain, organ dysfunction, mental health disorders, sleep problems, and barriers to medical care. Young adults were significantly less likely to see a sickle cell specialist in the past 2 years. Females had higher pain frequency and severity, more pain episodes, anxiety, depression, hospitalizations, and higher fetal hemoglobin levels. Males had more respiratory, musculoskeletal, genitourinary, and cardiovascular complications, more skin ulcers, and more use of HU. Among 128 subjects that died during the study period, iron overload, pulmonary hypertension, and depression, were significant predictors of the risk of death in multivariate analyses.

• Landscape of Intratumoral NK Cell and ILC in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

  In this study, total innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), including natural killer (NK) cells, were FACS-sorted from eight dissociated primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tumors. In addition, ILCs and NK cells were sorted from peripheral blood of tumor patients. The ILCs and NK cells were analyzed by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) using the Smart-seq2 approach.

• Comprehensive Genomic Characterization of Acral Melanoma

  In this study, we performed paired tumor/normal long insert whole genome and exome sequencing and tumor RNA sequencing on primary or metastatic acral melanoma tumors collected from 34 patients. Patients were enrolled from either Vanderbilt University or the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. We report an integrated analysis of DNA and RNA sequencing data to describe genomic and transcriptomic characteristics of acral melanoma.

• Novel Gene-Environment Regulatory Circuit in Chamber-Specific Growth of Perinatal Heart

  We report a case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and lactic acidosis in a 3-year-old female. Cardiac and skeletal muscle biopsies exhibited mitochondrial hyperplasia with decreased complex VI activity. Whole exome sequencing identified compound heterozygous variants, p.Arg333Trp and p.Val119Leu, in TSFM, a nuclear gene that encodes a mitochondrial translation elongation factor, resulting in impaired oxidative phosphorylation and juvenile hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

• Relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL): Mutational Landscape

  Multi-agent combination chemotherapy can be curative in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Still, patients with primary refractory disease or those with relapsed leukemia have a very poor prognosis. Here we report the mutational landscape of matched diagnostic and relapsed pediatric and adult ALL samples. Our data provides comprehensive annotation of genetic lesions acquired at relapse and reveals diagnostic and relapse-specific mutational mechanisms in ALL.

• BRCA1 secondary splice-site mutations

  BRCA1 splice isoforms d11 and d11q can contribute to PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance by splicing-out mutation-containing exons, producing truncated, partially-functional proteins. However, the clinical impact and underlying drivers of BRCA1 exon skipping remain undetermined. We analyzed nine ovarian and breast cancer patient derived xenografts (PDX) with BRCA1 exon 11 frameshift mutations for splice isoform expression and therapy response.

• Single cell atlas of relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma

  Relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphomas (rrLBCL) are clinically and biologically diverse lymphoid malignancies with intricate microenvironments that play a key role in disease development. In this study, we used single-nucleus multiome profiling along with bulk DNA and RNA sequencing on 120 tumor and control biopsies to comprehensively characterize the various cell types and subsets found in rrLBCL tumors.

• Somatic inflammatory gene mutations accumulate in human ulcerative colitis epithelium

  We performed whole exome sequencing and targeted sequencing of ulcerative colitis with/without colitis associated neoplasm and healthy indivisuals. The aim of this study was to calculate the influence of inflammation and age on a count of genetic mutations in colonic epithelium, and to identify the specific signal pathways on which the significant genetic mutations accumulating in ulcerative colitis patients' colonic epithelium.

• Molecular investigation of BCC HHI-ICI combination therapy

  We collected skin biopsies and PBMCs of patients with advanced BCC who underwent HHI-ICI combination therapy. We analyzed the skin biopsies with STx and the PBMCs with scRNA-seq to characterize the response of the immune cells, tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment to this therapy. We were interested in immune activation upon HHI and how that synergises with subsequent ICI.
