• International consensus definition of DNA methylation subgroups in juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia

  Known clinical and genetic markers have limitations in predicting disease course and outcome in juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). DNA methylation (DNAme) patterns in JMML have correlated with outcome across multiple studies, suggesting it as a biomarker to improve patient stratification. However, standardized approaches to classify JMML based on DNAme patterns are lacking. We therefore sought to define an international consensus for DNAme subgroups in JMML and develop classification methods for clinical implementation.

• UROMOL 2020 - SNP data

  The molecular landscape in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is characterized by large biological heterogeneity with variable clinical outcomes. Here, we performed a large integrative multi-omics analysis of patients diagnosed with NMIBC (n=834). Transcriptomic analysis identifies four classes (1, 2a, 2b and 3) reflecting tumor biology and disease aggressiveness. Both transcriptome-based subtyping and the level of chromosomal instability provide independent prognostic value beyond established prognostic clinicopathological parameters.

• Mapping genetic effects on cell type-specific chromatin accessibility using single nucleus ATAC-seq

  Gene regulation is highly cell type-specific and understanding the function of non-coding genetic variants associated with complex traits requires molecular phenotyping at cell type resolution. In this study we performed single nucleus ATAC-seq (snATAC-seq) and genotyping in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 13 individuals. We mapped chromatin accessibility QTLs (caQTLs) in each immune cell type and sub-type in a subset of 10 samples of European genetic ancestry.

• RNA sequencing in primary human macrophages overexpressing ETS2

  We investigated an intergenic haplotype on chr21q22, linked to five different inflammatory diseases, and discovered a mechanism that orchestrates macrophage responses during chronic inflammation. We delineated how the risk haplotype increases expression of the causal gene, ETS2, and demonstrated that ETS2 is necessary for inflammatory macrophage effector functions. To establish whether ETS2 is sufficient to drive inflammatory responses, we overexpressed ETS2 in a dose-dependent manner and performed RNA-sequencing to characterise the transcriptional effects.

• Variant calls for "Quality of Whole Genome Sequencing from Blood versus Saliva Derived DNA in Cardiac Patients"

  Paired blood and saliva samples from five unrelated individuals were directly compared for quality of whole genome sequencing. Two (Sample Pairs 1 and 2) were female probands diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot, a type of congenital heart disease, and three (Sample Pairs 3, 4 and 5) were male probands diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. WGS was performed using Illumina HiSeq X to a target average coverage depth of 30x and a read length of 150 bp. The resulting reads were not filtered for minimum quality in order to avoid losing possible contaminant reads. Sequencing read alignment was done using Isaac Aligner to human genome build hg19. Short variant i.e. single-nucleotide variant (SNV) and small insertion-deletion (indel) calling was performed using Isaac Variant Caller with default parameters.

• On-target mutations confer resistance to WRN helicase inhibitors in Microsatellite Unstable Cancer Cells

  This study investigates genetic dependencies and resistance mechanisms to Werner helicase inhibitors (WRNi) in microsatellite-unstable (MSI) cancer models. To define determinants of WRN dependency and acquired resistance, we performed genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens, CRISPR base-editing mutagenesis screens targeting WRN, targeted sequencing of resistance-associated variants, bulk RNA sequencing, and whole-genome sequencing. The datasets deposited in EGA comprise raw sequencing files from CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens, CRISPR base-editing screens, targeted DNA sequencing, RNA-seq experiments, and whole-genome sequencing of parental and drug-treated cell populations, including models with spontaneously acquired resistance. These data enable investigation of WRN synthetic lethality, genetic modifiers of WRNi response, and genomic alterations emerging under selective pressure.

• WGS/WES analysis refines molecular subtypes of hepatocellular carcinoma

  This work aims to identify homogeneous and robust molecular subtypes in HCC based on a large, homogenous and well-annotated cohort. We performed whole genome/exome sequencing (WGS/WES) on 529 HCC from 461 patients collected mainly in France. Based on the genomic data, we identified 9 robust HCC subtypes primarily driven by key mutations. We further characterized these subtypes using genomic and clinicopathological features. Among the 9 subtypes, 5 belonged to chromosome instable tumors, while 3 belonged to chromosome stable tumors. Our subtypes were associated with prognosis and showed distinct distributions across features like etiology and gender. This study offers a comprehensive molecular classification of HCC, enhancing our understanding of hepatocarcinogenesis and supporting the development of genome-based precision medicine for liver cancer.

• Acral Melanoma PDXs from the admixed Brazilian Population- Tumour RNA expression data - htseq count files

  Files containing the read counts obtained with obtained with HTSeq for all the genes in Ensembl v103 annotation for GRCh38 human reference genome. This dataset contains the files for all Tumour samples. Acral melanoma (AM) is an aggressive melanoma subtype with limited therapeutic options and poor outcomes. In non-European descent and admixed populations, like in Latin America, it can account for a significant proportion of cutaneous melanoma cases. Here, we performed comprehensive genomic and functional profiling of AM from a uniquely diverse Brazilian cohort. Whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing was performed on both tumours and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) samples. The PDX were obtained from a comprehensive collection of patient-derived xenograft (AM-PDX) models that we established which faithfully retained the histopathological and genomic features of the original tumours.

• A developmental cell atlas of the human thyroid gland

  Thyroid hormones are essential for health, but human thyroid development and cellular heterogeneity are poorly understood. We generated a high-resolution, spatiotemporal transcriptional atlas of human fetal thyroid, and examined its perturbations in trisomy 21 (T21), where aberrant thyroid development is associated with congenital hypothyroidism, and in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Normal tissue revealed two functional follicular cell states (fTFC1, fTFC2) with divergent PAX8 expression levels, persisting into adulthood. Additionally, the rare C-cell population was comprehensively profiled at single-cell resolution for the first time. T21 fetal thyroid was hypoplastic, with disrupted follicular morphology and altered expression of genes mediating cellular topology and extracellular matrix interactions. Finally, the transcriptional signals of both fetal follicular cell states were found to be perturbed in PTC. Overall, we defined a reference atlas for normal human fetal thyrocyte heterogeneity and provided novel insights into thyroid disorders.

• Genome Diversity in Africa Project - ancient samples - standard libraries

  Given the central importance of Africa to studies of human origins, genetic diversity and disease susceptibility, large-scale and representative characterisation of genetic diversity in Africa is needed. Analyses of ancient DNA from Africa would complement sequencing of modern African populations and provide unique opportunities to transform our understanding of the pre-history of the region. This approach would greatly refine our understanding of population structure and gene flow in Africa and globally, including genetic signatures of ancient admixture. This low coverage sequencing experiment will allow us to test and refine our pipeline for ancient DNA sequencing. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• The Transcriptional Landscape of SHH Medulloblastoma

  To further understand the biology of Sonic hedgehog medulloblastoma and its molecular subtypes, we studied 250 human Shh-MB using strand-specific RNA sequencing. We identified novel alterations within the cAMP dependent pathway and found that 18% of tumors have genetic events that directly target the abundance and/or stability of MYCN. We also discovered an extensive network of fusions in focally amplified regions, and several loss-of-function fusions in tumor suppressor genes PTCH, SUFU and NCOR1. Molecular convergence on a core of specific genes by nucleotide variants, copy number aberrations, and gene fusions highlights key roles of specific pathways in the pathogenesis of Sonic hedgehog medulloblastoma.

• Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma AO Exome-seq data

  Anaplastic oligodendrogliomas (AOs) are rare primary brain tumors which are generally incurable, with heterogeneous prognosis and few treatment targets identified. Most oligodendrogliomas have chromosome 1p/19q co-deletion and IDH mutation. We analyzed 51 AOs by whole-exome sequencing, identifying previously reported frequent somatic mutations in CIC and FUBP1. We also identified recurrent mutations in TCF12 and in an additional series of 83 AO. Overall 7.5% of AO are mutated for TCF12, which encodes an oligodendrocyte-related transcription factor. 80% of TCF12 mutations identified were in either the bHLH domain, which is important for TCF12 function as a transcription factor, or were frame shift mutations leading to TCF12 truncated for this domain. We show that these mutations compromise TCF12 transcriptional activity and are associated with a more aggressive tumor type. Our analysis provides further insights into the unique and shared pathways driving AO.

• Miseq (18S) analysis of spiked placental tissue samples

  We spiked a small number of placental tissue samples with different combinations of Candida albicans, Plasmodium falciparum, Toxoplasma gondii, Human Cytolomega virus and Salmonella bongori (various combination of the equivalents of 1, 10, 100, 1000 and 10000 genome copies). A DNA isolation was performed on these spiked samples and the resulting DNA was subsequently sequenced by MiSeq (18S). These same samples were also analysed by X Ten to allow for a sensitivity comparison of the two methods of the eukaryotic spiked signals (Candida albicans, Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii). In addition, non-spiked placental samples from 50 cases of Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR) (+ matched healthy controls) and 49 cases of Preeclampsia (+ matched healthy controls) and 100 preterm cases were analyzed for their non-human eukaryotic content.

• Acute Respiratory Distress Network (ARDSNet) Studies 06 and 08 Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Trial of Aerosolized Albuterol Versus Placebo for the Treatment of Acute Lung Injury (ALTA) (ARDSNet-ALTA-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. Biospecimens Access to Biospecimens is through the NHLBI Biologic Specimen and Data Repository Information Coordinating Center (BioLINCC). Biospecimens from ARDSNet-ALTA include Plasma, DNA, Urine, and BAL. Please note that use of biospecimens in genetic research is subject to a tiered consent. Objectives This clinical trial was designed to test the hypothesis that an aerosolized beta-2-agonist, albuterol, would improve clinical outcomes in participants with acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Background In participants with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS), inflammation of the pulmonary circulation increases vascular permeability. Fluid leaks from blood vessels into the pulmonary interstitium and alveoli. Recovery from this form of acute respiratory failure requires that the pulmonary edema resolve. The resolution of alveolar edema is driven by active transport of sodium and chloride ions from the luminal space across both type I and type II alveolar epithelial cells, creating an osmotic gradient for the reabsorption of water. In the ex vivo human lung, the rate of alveolar fluid clearance can be doubled by treatment with a cyclic AMP beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist. On the basis of the preclinical observations that treatment with beta-2-agonists could reduce pulmonary edema and accelerate the rate of alveolar fluid clearance, the ALTA study was designed and undertaken with the hypothesis that treatment of participants with ALI/ARDS with beta-agonist therapy would accelerate the resolution of alveolar edema and improve clinical outcomes. Participants There were 282 participants. Design Study staff conducted a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial in which participants were randomized to receive aerosolized albuterol (5 mg) or saline placebo every 4 hours for up to 10 days. The primary outcome variable for the trial was ventilator-free days. Conclusions Ventilator-free days were not significantly different between the albuterol and placebo groups. The results suggest that aerosolized albuterol does not improve clinical outcomes in participants with ALI. Routine use of beta-2 agonist therapy in mechanically ventilated participants with ALI cannot be recommended (Matthay, et al., 2011, PMID: 21562125).

• Effectiveness and Safety of Intermittent Antimicrobial Therapy for the Treatment of New Onset Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Airway Infection in Young Patients With Cystic Fibrosis (EPIC-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 investigate the efficacy and safety of 4 antipseudomonal treatments in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) with recently acquired Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection.Background: CF is an inherited disease that causes mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive tract, which can cause lung infections and digestive problems. It is the most common type of chronic lung disease in children and young adults and may result in early death. There is no cure for this disease. The primary cause of death in individuals with CF is progressive obstructive pulmonary disease associated with chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection. PA infection can occur early in life and can become highly resistant to antibiotics. Once an individual has been diagnosed with chronic PA infection, it is almost impossible to manage effectively. The need exists for an effective treatment to control and eliminate PA infection. Past research has shown that if PA infection is treated early, there is a greater likelihood that it may be eliminated completely.Participants: There were 304 participants.Design: Participants were randomized to 1 of 4 antibiotic regimens for 18 months (six 12-week quarters) between December 2004 and June 2009. Participants randomized to cycled therapy received tobramycin inhalation solution (300 mg twice a day) for 28 days, with oral ciprofloxacin (15-20 mg/kg twice a day) or oral placebo for 14 days every quarter, while participants randomized to culture-based therapy received the same treatments only during quarters with positive P aeruginosa cultures. The primary end points were time to pulmonary exacerbation requiring intravenous antibiotics and proportion of PA - positive cultures.Conclusions: No difference in the rate of exacerbation or prevalence of PA positivity was detected between cycled and culture-based therapies. Adding ciprofloxacin produced no benefits (Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med 2011; 165(9):847-856).

• FEGA FAQs: a summary of the Q+A session from the FEGA workshop at ELIXIR AHM 2024

  The ELIXIR All Hands Meeting (AHM) was held in Uppsala, Sweden this June. We at EGA always look forward to this meeting as a chance to see many of our partners and colleagues face-to-face. The Federated EGA (FEGA) is one initiative that always benefits from the AHM, and this year FEGA was in the spotlight, with several questions related to the advances we've made recently. We held this year's FEGA workshop a little differently, with most time for discussions on various “hot topics”. Organised in different breakouts, over 2 rounds, participants could choose which session they wanted to attend. One breakout was a general Q+A about FEGA and the path to join. We had a diverse range of participants, including experts from Central EGA (CEGA) and FEGA inaugural nodes, people from up and coming nodes at various stages of readiness, as well as participants not directly a part of FEGA but curious to learn more. It made for a great discussion! In this blog post, we highlight some of the questions for those who didn’t have a chance to be there. What is the FEGA Collaboration Agreement? It is a legal agreement between the node and Central EGA (CEGA) where both parties agree to certain responsibilities, like what services will be provided, sharing of public metadata with CEGA, interoperable technologies and more. The agreement is for 4 years, with the expectation of long-term sustainability. If a node is made up of multiple institutes, one institute must be the signatory. This could require a legal agreement within the node. CEGA is composed of CRG and EMBL-EBI (EGA itself has its own legal agreement between these institutes) Check the FEGA Collaboration Agreement What about purely medical data? Is this accepted in FEGA? CEGA only accepts data approved for secondary research use. We do accept medical data collected in this context, as do some nodes. Nodes are able to accept any data they like, as long as it is sensitive, thus in need of controlled access. What about other data types other than genomics? Like proteomics or images? They can be accepted, although CEGA is currently not designed with those formats in mind, so they might not fit with precision in the data model. The FEGA nodes are welcome to accept any data they want. Proteomic studies generating sensitive data are increasing, and specific work will likely be developed in the near future to adress this need. Does CEGA require a certain amount or type of data to be shared by the node? No, we do not and it's up to each node to decide what specific data types they accept and in what format. Nonetheless, a FEGA node has the duty to be open to data submission from any institution of their country, and can't be limited by design to a single or limited data source. Does CEGA and FEGA require a certain amount or type of details and description on the data to be submitted to the node? Data description (technical and biological), usually called metadata in this field, is crucial for the findability of the submitted data. Thus, we highly recommend including as much information as available to maximise the discoverability of the data. Specifical minimal metadata is defined in the submission schema, and thresholds are specified by the nodes. We are currently working towards a unified FEGA metadata model. What are the geographical borders of FEGA? FEGA should make the E for Everyone, because any institute worldwide could join and we indeed do have countries and use-cases worldwide. Some of them are very close to officially joining the federation. What are the main differences between FEGA and GDI? The two networks have a lot in common and also some critical differences. You can read all about this in one of our latest blog post. If you have more questions, please consider having a look at the FEGA onboarding webpage and, of course, don't miss our workshop at the ELIXIR AHM next year!

• CRU-Ukrainian National Research Center for Radiation Medicine Trio Study

  Data on transgenerational effects following nuclear accidents are important for understanding fully the consequences of parental exposure to ionizing radiation. Few studies to date have had adequate statistical power to detect effects of the magnitude expected based on animal data, and most have not been of low-dose, protracted exposures associated with nuclear accidents and their aftermath. Although, to date, scant use has been made of the new genomic technologies, in Chernobyl-exposed areas of Ukraine and Belarus, excess minisatellite mutations have been seen in children born after the accident. We propose a study of parent-child trios in which at least one parent was exposed to Chernobyl radiation as a clean-up worker (mean dose>=100 mGy) and/or evacuee from a contaminated area (mean >=50 mGy). The specific aims are to investigate the transgenerational and de novo mutation rates of the spectrum of genetic variants in trios, in particular looking at effects in children and mapping them to possible parental origin of the chromsoome. Together with long-term collaborators at the Research Center for Radiation Medicine (RCRM) in Kiev, epidemiologic data will be collected for up to 450 trios of parents with preconceptional doses and their unexposed offspring. We will use state-of-the-art genomic technologies to characterize the landscape of the genomes of the trios to determine whether parental radiation exposure is associated with genetic mutations transmitted to the offspring, by examining de novo mutation rates, minisatellite mutations, copy number alterations, and variations in telomere length. The analysis will be conducted in peripheral blood and/or buccal samples (when blood is not available) from complete father-mother-child trios. Doses to the gonads from the time of the accident to the time of conception will be reconstructed for all parents using existing records supplemented by interview data. Trio subjects will be selected from representative populations exposed to radiation from Chernobyl who are under active follow-up in the Clinico-Epidemiologic Registry at RCRM. To help identify specific effects of paternal and maternal radiation exposure, we will initially select sets of trio subjects in five categories: (1) exposed father, unexposed mother; (2) unexposed father, exposed mother; (3) both parents exposed; (4) both parents unexposed; and (5) a group of high dose "emergency workers" with acute radiation syndrome. All trio members will be invited to the RCRM outpatient clinic for collection of a 20 ml blood sample (or buccal cells for those who refuse phlebotomy). Both parents will be asked to complete a general questionnaire to obtain demographic and lifestyle data. Then one or both will complete detailed dosimetry questionnaires, based on forms used in previous collaborations with RCRM and administered by specially trained interviewers. Once 50 trios have been recruited (10 from each of the 5 exposure categories), we will conduct an interim evaluation of participation rates, sample collection and quality, and dose reconstruction in order to modify the protocol as needed. The analytical approach will be to correlate the extent, especially for de novo events of genetic alterations in the offspring with parental pre-conceptional radiation dose overall and by parental origin. The statistical power in relation to de novo mutations is very high, in excess of 90%, but somewhat lower for trends in minisatellite mutations. Study findings will contribute importantly to knowledge of the heritable effects of moderate- and low-dose radiation exposure in humans and to radiation risk projection. Eventually data from the Trio Study may be shared with the international community through dbGap.

• The UCSD / O'Connor "TSP" (Twin/Sibling/Pedigree) Resource in Hypertension

  Study Design: The UCSD / O'Connor "TSP" (Twin/Sibling/Pedigree) Resource in Hypertension contains N=797 participants. At the time of recruitment individuals ranged from 15-84 years of age and had varying ethnic backgrounds (Whites, African-Americans and Hispanics). The cohort was developed to study the genetic basis of autonomic dysfunction in human essential hypertension (reviewed in Zhang et al. Curr Hypertens Rep. 2011 13: 36-45. PMID: 21104344) and contains cross-sectionally collected phenotypes related to blood pressure regulation.  Phenotypes: Phenotype data specifically focuses on the sympathetic branch of the autonomic system, which is a key regulator of blood pressure. Data includes circulating concentrations of the secretory "quantum" (catecholamines, neuropeptides, chromogranins) which influence vascular responses to sympatho-adrenal activation resulting in blood pressure. Other measures on the twins and a subset of family members include a standard urine panel with absolute concentrations of potassium, sodium, uric acid, phosphorous; DynaPulse acquired heart rate and blood pressure measures including systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, Left Ventricular (LV) ejection time, LV contractility, cardiac output, stroke volume data including; and absolute concentrations of plasma aldosterone, endothelin, leptin, and insulin. Phenotype data is included for the 697 individuals sequenced here and 100 family members.  Whole Genome Sequence Data Generation: Whole genome sequencing (20X coverage) was conducted on plasma-derived DNA. The WGS was generated using the Illumina HiSeq X Ten sequencing platform with variants called by Human Longevity, Inc (HLI; Ref 1). Preparation of sample libraries was conducted by mechanical shearing of gDNA (100-800 bp), isolation of DNA fragments 300-500bp in size, followed by library PCR amplification employing high-fidelity, low-bias PCR to amplify library fragments consisting of appropriate adapter sequences on both ends. BAM files were created by alignment of sequence reads to the reference genome (GRCh38) using iSAAC-01.14.02.06 (Python2.7). Note: The user may want to realign the sequence data and recall variants. In total, the WGS dataset contains 30 monozygotic twin pairs represented by one member of the twin pair, 133 monozygotic twin pairs with both individuals sequenced, 7 dizygotic twin pairs represented by one member of the twin pair, 67 dizygotic twin pairs with both individuals sequenced, 8 twin pairs with undetermined zygosity (both individuals sequenced) and 1 triplet with mother (all individuals sequenced). The dataset also contains sequences of 260 family members of twins including their mother, father, non-twin sibling, and offspring. Table 1 describes the composition of families ("sibling" refers to a non-twin sibling in the cohort). Note: We suggest users check gender and family relatedness.

• The Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA)

  COGA is a family study of alcoholism, in which the subjects have been drawn from the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA), a large, ongoing family-based study that includes subjects from seven sites around the US. COGA has gathered detailed, standardized data on study participants, including diagnostic and neurophysiological assessments. This project has already proved successful in identifying several genes that influence the risk for alcoholism and neurophysiological endophenotypes, which have been independently replicated. COGA data were included as part of two Genetic Analysis Workshops, and the phenotypes are familiar to the genetics community. Alcoholic probands were recruited from treatment facilities, assessed by personal interview, and after securing permission, other family members were also assessed. A set of comparison families was drawn from the same communities as the families recruited through an alcoholic proband. Assessment involved a detailed personal interview developed for this project, the Semi-Structured Assessment for the Genetics of Alcoholism (SSAGA), which gathers detailed information on alcoholism related symptoms along with other drugs and psychiatric symptoms. Many participants also came to the laboratories for electroencephalographic studies. Neurophysiological features that have been shown to be useful endophenotypes for which we have linkage and in some cases association results, are included for a subset of the case-control sample: the beta power of the resting electroencephalogram (EEG), the P3(00) amplitude of the visual event-related potential (ERP), and the theta and delta event-related oscillations (EROs) underlying the P3. As part of COGA, a set of informative families was selected to have Genome-Wide Association data obtained within families. Genotyping was performed using the Illumina Human OmniExpress array 12.VI to genotype 2,282 subjects selected from 118 densely affected families. Genotyping was performed at the Genome Technology Access Center at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. In addition, we also included genotypes for subjects (n=275 subjects) from these 118 families who were genotyped in a previous case-control GWAS using the Illumina 1M array. For quality control purposes, 51 of the 275 subjects were genotyped again on the Illumina Human OmniExpress array at the Washington University School of Medicine core facility.In addition, exome sequencing data on a subset of individuals with GWAS were added in version 2 (v2). For v2, a subset had 30X Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) as part of the NIDA Sequencing Initiative. The subset contained two distinct sets: Sibling pairs where one sibling had at least two dependence diagnoses in the set (alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, and opioid), and the other had none, and non-related Case-Control pairs matched for age and ethnicity where the cases had alcohol and at least 2 other dependence diagnoses and controls had none. After sequencing, some sibling pairs are re-classified as half siblings. Three VCF files (small variants, structural variants, and copy number variations) are provided. Additional substance use variables are made available in v2. We note that the full sample data are deposited in four dbGaP submissions and the sequenced samples are split across all four: CIDR: Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism Case Control Study [phs000125]. GWAS data on cases (primarily probands) and controls drawn from the families. Families with highest density of alcohol dependence and/or extreme event-related oscillation data [phs000763]. GWAS data on 119 extended families of European descent are available here, along with extensive documentation. Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA): African American Family GWAS [phs000976]. GWAS data on all available COGA families of African descent are available. COGA: Smokescreen GWAS [phs001208]. GWAS data on all remaining COGA DNA samples, primarily of other racial background, were genotyped on the Smoke Screen array. A listing of all sequenced pairs is provided in the documentation to facilitate the merging of these samples.
