• RNA-Seq studies of Gene Expression in Cells and Networks in FI and ACC in Autism

  RNA-Seq studies of Gene Expression in Cells and Networks in FI (fronto-insular) and AC (anterior cingulate) cortex in Autism. We seek to understand the cellular bases of autism by using a new technology, RNA-Seq, to determine differences in gene expression in autopsy brains of subjects with well described autism versus age and sex matched neurotypical individuals. We have investigated two specific cortical areas involved in self-awareness and social reciprocity which are abnormal in autism and have found increased expression in a network of genes related to inflammation in autism group A, whereas the remaining cases, autism group B, have increased expression in a network of genes related to synapses. The current dbGaP study release includes RNA sequencing and phenotype data of n=27 subjects of African - American, Caucasian, or Hispanic origin.

• Deciphering Maternal-Fetal Crosstalk in the Human Placenta During Parturition Using Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing

  Labor is a complex physiological process requiring a well-orchestrated dialogue between the mother and fetus. However, the cellular contributions and communications that facilitate maternal-fetal crosstalk in labor have not been fully elucidated. In this latest version (#5), scRNA-seq was applied to decipher maternal-fetal signaling in the human placenta and chorioamniotic membranes during term labor. Samples were obtained from women who underwent spontaneous labor (n = 24) or who were delivered in the absence of spontaneous labor (n = 18) at term. Samples from previous versions (#1-3) of this study include the placental villous tree, basal plate, and chorioamniotic membranes of women across a range of pregnancy physiologic and pathologic conditions, including the processes of labor (term labor and preterm labor), and COVID-19 (version #3). Version #4 includes samples from the human myometrium during spontaneous term labor.

• IFN-γ and TNF-α drive a CXCL10+ CCL2+ Macrophage Phenotype Expanded in Severe COVID-19 Lungs and Inflammatory Diseases with Tissue Inflammation

  We explored how the human macrophages response to different inflammatory factors, focusing particularly on the effects of antiviral interferons (IFN-β and IFN-γ), pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, and other mediators like IL-4. Co-cultured fibroblasts were a component in some conditions to generate factors produced by resident stroma. We used a single-cell antibody-based hashing strategy to multiplex samples from different stimulatory conditions in one sequencing run. This macrophage transcriptomic data reveals distinct macrophage activation states and polarizations shaped by different tissue-related inflammatory conditions at single-cell resolution. We further performed an unbiased integration between tissue-level macrophages and this stimulated human blood-derived macrophages, which pinpoint an IFN-γ and TNF-α synergistically driven inflammatory macrophage phenotype expanded in severe COVID-19 lungs and other inflamed disease tissues.

• Identification of 22 Novel Loci Associated with Susceptibility to Testicular Germ Cell Tumors

  Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the most common cancers in young men of European ancestry aged 20 to 39 years. The Testicular Cancer Consortium (TECAC) has brought together the largest genome-wise association study (GWAS) study of TGCT to date. We conducted a GWAS of 5,602 cases and 5,006 controls aggregated from 12 locations in the US and Europe. Logistic regression models adjusted for study center and genomic ancestry. Genotypes were imputed against the Human Haplotype Reference Consortium. Meta-analysis was performed to combine GWAS results with summary statistics from five previously published TGCT studies, UK Biobank, deCODE Genetics, and an independent set of cases and controls, for a total of 10,156 cases and 179,683 controls. 22 novel and 45 previously reported loci associated with TGCT surpassed genome-wide significance (p < 5e-08).

• The Ultrasound Study of Tamoxifen

  The Ultrasound Study of Tamoxifen is a 12-month longitudinal study to describe volumetric breast density change over time among women with and without tamoxifen exposure. Women were enrolled at the Karmanos Cancer Institute and Henry Ford Health Systems in Detroit, Michigan between 2011-2014. Enrollment included women prescribed tamoxifen for clinical indication (n=82) and a comparison group of women frequency matched on age, race, and menopausal status (n=165). Whole breast ultrasound tomography (UST) scans were used to measure volume averaged sound speed (m/s) as a surrogate of volumetric breast density. Ultrasound tomography (UST) scans were completed at baseline prior to tamoxifen initiation and were repeated at 1-3 months, 4-6 months, and 12 months after tamoxifen initiation. For the comparison group, UST scans were completed at baseline and 12 months. Questionnaires were completed at each scan.

• NCI-Maryland Prostate Cancer Case-Control Study

  The study seeks to examine the genetic and ancestral basis of prostate cancer-associated inflammation using a genome-wide association approach. The study population are the participants of the NCI Maryland Prostate Cancer Case-Control study. This study recruited both African American and European American men, and investigated the causes for the excessive burden of prostate cancer among African American men in more general terms. We measured 82 blood-based immune-oncology markers, and genotyped the participants using the HumanOmni5-Quad BeadChip, which provides a significant genome coverage for genetically-admixed and diverse populations, to evaluate the genetic basis and evidence for causality of any immune-inflammation marker that is associated with prostate cancer risk. We want to assess how germline genetics influence the abundance levels of these 82 markers in African American and European American men, which may contribute to differences between them.

• Genomic Characterization CS-MATCH-0007 Arm Z1I

  The CS-MATCH-0007 protocol is part of a collaboration between the Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG) and the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) to perform whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing using pre-and post-treatment tumor biopsy specimens from patients enrolled on a treatment arm of the NCI-MATCH Clinical Trial (EAY131). The goal of this study is to identify the molecular basis for response and resistance to targeted therapies that are matched to specific genomic alterations found in their cancers. Arm Z1I is one of the treatment sub-protocols within the NCI-MATCH Clinical Trial (EAY131) where patients with BRCA1, BRCA2 mutations are treated with AZD1775. This subprotocol is one of the treatment arms included in the CS-MATCH-0007 protocol and will provide specimens for the program including DNA from tumor tissue and whole blood.

• Genomic Analysis of Peripheral T-Cell Lymphomas

  Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a heterogeneous and poorly understood group of non Hodgkin lymphomas. We aim to identify new genetic alterations in PTCL transformation by using a combination of whole exome sequencing of tumor-normal DNA pairs, RNAseq analysis and targeted deep sequencing of candidate genes. Our data identified highly recurrent mutations in epigenetic factors such as TET2, DNMT3A and IDH2 as well as a new highly prevalent mutation in RHOA, the G17V allele that is present in almost 70% of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphomas (AITL) and almost 20% of not otherwise specified PTCL (PTCL NOS) samples. In addition, we describe new and recurrent genetic defects including mutations in FYN, ATM, B2M and CD58 implicating SRC signaling, impaired DNA damage response and escape from immune surveillance processes as key players in the pathogenesis of PTCL.

• Molecular Basis of Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer (Trento/Cornell/Broad 2015)

  A subset of advanced prostate cancers can progress from an androgen receptor (AR)-driven state to AR independence, often associated with low or absent AR expression and extensive neuroendocrine differentiation. Once neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) develops, patients typically demonstrate an aggressive clinical course and poor overall survival. Early diagnosis is important but remains challenging as the clinical and pathologic features associate with AR independence and NEPC are poorly defined. We performed whole exome sequencing of 114 metastatic tumors from 81 patients (35 with morphologic features of NEPC). Serial or synchronous samples were included to characterize heterogeneity and the transition from adenocarcinoma to NEPC. Computational analysis of clonality and allele specific quantification were performed using CLONET. Quantitative mRNA assessment including AR signaling genes and DNA methylation were evaluated in the context of genomic changes.

• The Surveillance Monitoring for ART Toxicities (SMARTT) and the Women and Infants Transmission Study (WITS)

  Zidovudine (ZDV) is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) which competitively inhibits HIV reverse transcriptase and is incorporated into the viral DNA, resulting in DNA chain termination. It was the first approved antiretroviral medication used for preventing HIV transmission from mother to child. However, in vitro and animal studies have suggested genotoxicity of ZDV and no study has evaluated potential impact of in utero ZDV exposure using genomic sequencing technologies. In this study, we investigate markers of genomic damage detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples obtained from 91 ZDV-exposed and, for comparison, 94 NRTI-unexposed HIV-uninfected children born to HIV-infected mothers during the first week after birth. We utilize high-throughput DNA sequencing (whole exome sequencing) and genotype array methods to comprehensively identify potential clonal somatic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and large acquired copy number alterations (SCNAs) related to ZDV exposure.
