• 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.

• Evaluation of COPD Longitudinally to Identify Predictive Surrogate Endpoints (ECLIPSE)

  ECLIPSE was a longitudinal observational study of 2164 COPD subjects and a smaller number of smoking controls (337) and nonsmoking controls (245) followed regularly for three years, with three chest CT scans (at baseline, one year, and three years) (Vestbo, European Respiratory Journal 2008; 31: 869). Inclusion criteria included age 40-75, at least 10 pack-years of smoking, and spirometry in GOLD grades 2-4 (COPD cases) or normal spirometry with post-bronchodilator FEV1 >85% predicted and FEV1/FVC>0.7 (controls). Study visits were performed at enrollment, three months, and every six months thereafter with spirometry, questionnaires, and other clinical evaluations. The ECLIPSE CT scans have been analyzed with the VIDA software for emphysema and airway phenotypes. ECLIPSE has provided key insights into the clinical epidemiology of COPD, including COPD exacerbations (Hurst, NEJM 2010; 363: 1128) and lung function decline in COPD (Vestbo, NEJM 2011; 365: 1184). ECLIPSE has been used in a number of genetic studies of COPD susceptibility and protein biomarkers(Faner, Thorax 2014; 69: 666). Genome-wide gene expression microarray data are available in 147 induced sputum samples from COPD subjects and 248 peripheral blood samples from COPD and control subjects.

• Genetics of Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma

  Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a common extranodal T-cell lymphoma primarily arising in the skin. In early disease stages, MF presents as skin patches and plaques that in some cases may progress to tumor and disperse to lymph nodes and other internal organs. The 10-year overall survival is 50% in advanced stages. Early diagnosis is difficult as the histology overlaps with features of inflammatory skin diseases. Even when the diagnosis is established, there are no prognostic markers that predict whether the disease will be aggressive or indolent. Lastly, there are no curative treatments and MF will invariably relapse, even after aggressive chemotherapy. The disease is a diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic challenge. The main objective of this study is to address the question of tumor heterogeneity in MF. To date, MF is considered to be monoclonal, derived from a transformed, mature memory T-cell. However, clinical observations and preliminary data suggest that MF comprises multiple subclones, which may be of importance for understanding disease evolution and resistance to therapy. We plan to address this objective using Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) of MF tissue prepared by laser microdissection (LMD).

• Genomic Characterization CS-MATCH-0007 Arm Y

  The CS-MATCH-0007 protocol is a collaboration between the Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG) and the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) to perform whole-exome sequencing, RNA sequencing and if possible, whole-genome, methylation and miRNA sequencing using pre-and post-treatment tumor biopsy specimens from all 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 their corresponding genomic alterations. Arm Y is one of the treatment sub-protocols within the NCI-MATCH Clinical Trial (EAY131) where patients with AKT mutations are treated with AZD5363. This subprotocol is one of the treatment arms in the EAY-131 trial included in the CS-MATCH-0007 protocol and will provide specimens for the program including DNA from tumor tissue and whole blood and RNA from tumor tissue. A fuller genomic landscape of tumors from these patients will enable discovery of potential molecular features correlated to clinical outcomes or lay the foundation for future studies leading to new and more effective treatments.

• Mechanisms of Restoring T Cell Immunity after Cure of Chronic Viral Infection

  We analyzed hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific T cells and non-specific memory T cell populations from 6 patients with chronic HCV infection receiving 12 weeks of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy with aritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir + dasabuvir + ribavirin. All patients were treated successfully. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained from blood draws right before treatment initiation (Pre-DAA) and 12 months after the end of treatment (Post-DAA). In each patient, HCV-specific cells were sorted using two different HCV multimers: One representing an epitope present in the circulating HCV genome and one epitope where the virus had escaped the T cell response and thus the corresponding T cells did not receive a TCR signal in vivo. Sorted specific T-cell populations and memory T cell subpopulations were analyzed by extracting RNA and performing RNA sequencing using the Smart-Seq2 protocol. A group of 8 patients with acute self-limited HCV infection (resolvers) were included as control representing natural control of infection. These patients were studied 24 weeks after their last detectable HCV viremia. Finally, we confirmed the data from chronically treated patients in a confirmatory cohort, consisting of 9 patients after successful antiviral treatment.

• Kids First: Whole Genome Sequencing of Nonsyndromic Craniosynostosis

  The Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (Kids First) is a trans-NIH effort initiated in response to the 2014 Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act and supported by the NIH Common Fund. This program focuses on gene discovery in pediatric cancers and structural birth defects and the development of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Data Resource (Kids First Data Resource). All of the WGS and phenotypic data from this study are accessible through dbGaP and kidsfirstdrc.org, where other Kids First datasets can also be accessed. Nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (NCS) is a common, major structural birth defect - due to the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures - that requires extensive surgical correction and is associated with considerable ongoing medical problems and health care costs. Because little is known about the causes of NCS, whole genome sequencing will help advance knowledge of genetic factors contributing to the etiology of NCS. Data from this project will lead to a better understanding of biological processes involved in the etiology of NCS and provide critical insights for development of early diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies.

• Genetic Analysis of Desmoplastic Melanoma

  Desmoplastic melanoma is an infrequent variant of melanoma with sarcomatous histology, distinct clinical behavior, and unknown pathogenesis. We performed low-coverage genome and high-coverage exome sequencing of 20 desmoplastic melanomas, followed by targeted sequencing of 293 genes to validate candidate genes. A high mutation burden (median 62 mutations/Mb) ranked desmoplastic melanoma among the most highly mutated cancers. Mutation patterns strongly implicate UV-radiation as the dominant mutagen, indicating a superficially located cell of origin. Novel alterations included recurrent promoter mutations of NF-kappa B inhibitor epsilon, NFKBIE (IkBε) in 14.5% of samples. Commonly mutated oncogenes in melanomas, in particular BRAF(V600E) and NRAS(Q61K/R), were absent. Instead, other genetic alterations known to activate the MAPK and PI3K signaling cascades were identified in 73% of samples, affecting NF1, CBL, ERBB2, MAP2K1, MAP3K1, BRAF, EGFR, PTPN11, MET, RAC1, SOS2, NRAS, and PIK3CA, some of which being candidates for targeted therapies.

• NHLBI TOPMed: Study of Asthma Phenotypes and Pharmacogenomic Interactions by Race-Ethnicity (SAPPHIRE)

  Started in 2007, the Study of Asthma Phenotypes and Pharmacogenomic Interactions by Race-ethnicity (SAPPHIRE) is one of the largest asthma cohort studies in the United States. Its overarching goal is to elucidate the genetic underpinnings of asthma and asthma medication treatment response. The cohort was recruited from a large health care system serving southeast Michigan and the Detroit metropolitan area, and the participants broadly represent the demographic and socioeconomic diversity of the region. Control participants (i.e., patients without a diagnosis with asthma) were recruited from the same health system and geographic region. By virtue of their health system enrollment, both asthma case and control patients have longitudinal clinical information which was routinely collected as part of their care. Both case and control patients underwent at detailed evaluation at the time of enrollment which included lung function testing and bronchodilator response. The SAPPHIRE cohort is a member of the Asthma Translational Genomics Collaborative (ATGC). The latter was selected for whole genome sequencing in Phase 3 of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's TOPMed Program. The SAPPHIRE sample selected for sequencing includes African American and/or Latino individuals with and without asthma.

• Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke Cardiorenal GWAS

  REGARDS is a national, population-based, longitudinal study of incident stroke and associated risk factors including over 30,000 Black and White adults aged 45 years or older from all 48 contiguous U.S. states and the District of Columbia. The study was designed to investigate reasons underlying the higher rate of stroke mortality among Black participants compared to White participants and among residents of the Southeastern U.S. compared to other U.S. regions. By design, Black adults and residents of the deep south were oversampled. Between 2003 and 2007 (baseline visit) participants completed a computer-assisted telephone interview to collect demographic information and medication adherence, and an in-home visit for blood pressure measurements and collection of blood and urine samples. Following the baseline visit, participants have been contacted by phone at six-month intervals to obtain information on incident stroke or secondary outcomes. Additionally, samples and data were collected on about 50% of the original cohort during a second study visit an average of 10 years after the baseline visit. Genotyping was performed as part of an ancillary study on 10,788 (84% Black) participants using Illumina MEGA arrays.

• Mapping Genes for Mammographic Density

  We recruited 1,521 women from the Old Order Amish (OOA) population of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, with the primary goal of identifying genetic factors that influence mammographic density. All women were between the ages of 40 and 88 years, with a mean of 54 years. Additional study design details, including eligibility criteria, are described elsewhere (Douglas et al., 2008). The present-day OOA of Lancaster County are the descendants of approximately 550 individuals from central Western Europe who immigrated to the U.S. in the early eighteenth century. All living individuals derive from a single, 14-generation pedigree (Lee et al., 2010). Although the OOA are a genetically closed founder population, allele frequencies and LD profiles are remarkably similar between the OOA and U.S. participants in the International HapMap project (HapMap CEU) for common SNPs (MAF>/=5%) (Van Hout et al., 2010). We recently completed genome-wide linkage and association analyses of mammographic density, including dense and non-dense areas of the breast and the ratio of dense to total area of the breast. Summary-level data from our GWAS are available here and through the Marker of DEnsity (MODE) Consortium.
