• ADHD Genomic Association Study

  Studies at Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands, has recruited participants with ADHD and participants without ADHD, which included matched healthy controls and family members of participants with ADHD. ADHD participants met DSM-IV-TR criteria for ADHD. DNAs of these participants, 1005 samples, were anonymously genotyped with Illumina PsychArray. These samples were not part of the PGC-ADHD group. After removing family members, 820 case/control independent samples, including 211 ADHD cases, went through genomic association analyses. Results of ADHD risk genetic markers were compared with genetic markers associated with brain structure alterations in ADHD in adults and adolescents.

• Whole Exome Sequences of Human Embryonic Stem Cell Lines

  Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are a powerful tool for the study of human development and can form the basis of cellular disease models or therapies. However, the genetic make-up and stability of hESCs has not been systematically studied at a genome-wide level with single nucleotide resolution. We therefore sequenced the whole exomes of widely available hESCs. The data generated has provided new insights about the nature of acquired variation and the genomic integrity of the cell lines. We anticipate that this online resource will enable investigators to access raw sequencing data in order to interrogate cell lines for different disease and trait-associated genetic variants.

• Impact of Mobile Element Insertions on Human Transcriptome Variation

  Mobile DNA elements are ubiquitous in nearly all species and mobile element insertions can affect nearby gene expression through many mechanisms, from disrupting coding regions to initiating DNA methylation to altering RNA splicing patterns. Thousands of mobile element insertions are still polymorphic in human populations, and these polymorphic mobile element insertions (pMEIs) can contribute to transcriptome and phenotypic variation in humans. We identified and genotyped pMEIs using the whole genome sequencing (WGS) data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project. We then used the extensive multi-tissue transcriptome data from the GTEx project to systematically assess the effects of pMEIs on human transcriptome variation.

• NHLBI TOPMed - NHGRI CCDG: Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Atrial Fibrillation Study

  The Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Atrial Fibrillation Study was initiated in 2001. The study has enrolled serial probands, unaffected and affected family members with atrial fibrillation. At enrollment participants undergo a structured interview to systematically capture their past medical history, AF treatments, and family history. An electrocardiogram is performed; the results of an echocardiogram are obtained; and blood samples are obtained. For the TOPMed WGS project only early-onset atrial fibrillation cases were sequenced. Early-onset atrial fibrillation was defined as an age of onset prior to 66 years of age. Comprehensive phenotypic and pedigree data for study participants are available through dbGaP phs001001.

• Genetic Analysis of Limb Malformation Disorders: Miller Syndrome Sequencing Study (LMD-MS)

  The overall goal of this project is to investigate the etiology and pathogenesis of malformations (i.e., birth defects) of the limb, concentrating on abnormalities of limb patterning such as limb deficiency/duplications and multiple congenital contractures. The exome sequences of two siblings and two unrelated individuals were obtained by massively parallel DNA sequencing. The four individuals were affected with Miller syndrome (OMIM: 263750). Additionally, the whole-genome sequences of a family of four were obtained with the method of Complete Genomics Incorporated (CGI). The two offspring were both affected with Miller syndrome and is the same sibling pair mentioned previously from whom exome sequences were also obtained.

• Linked Read Sequencing of Gastric Cancer Metastases for Complex SV Resolution

  In this study, linked read sequencing was performed on two ovarian metastases and matched normal tissue, from a patient with primary diffuse gastric cancer. Linked read sequencing is a DNA preparation technology whereby high molecular weight molecules of DNA are uniquely barcoded prior to fragmentation and sequencing, thus retaining information about genomic contiguity. This study performed an extended analysis of linked read sequencing data to resolve the complex structures of structural variants in the cancer genomes. Complex structural rearrangements were identified in the genomic region surrounding the known oncogene FGFR2, and the association between FGFR2 and gastric cancer metastasis was demonstrated in an organoid model.

• Somatic Copy Number Analysis of Endometrial Carcinomas

  Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most commonly diagnosed gynecologic malignancy in the United States and is the sixth leading cause of cancer death amongst American women. The purpose of this study was to identify somatic (tumor-specific) copy number alterations in 7 clear cell ECs, 31 serous ECs, 17 endometrioid ECs, and the clear cell components of 2 endometrioid/clear cell ECs. To this end, DNAs from de-identified primary endometrial tumors and matched non-tumor tissues or blood were hybridized to high-density Illumina Infinium HumanHap650Y Beadchips or to high-density Human660W-Quad Beadchips and the data analyzed to annotate somatic copy number alterations throughout the genome.

• A Multi-Omic Single-Cell Atlas of Human Gynecological Malignancies

  Matched single-cell transcriptomic sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell chromatin accessibility sequencing (scATAC-seq) were performed for 11 fresh human tumors collected from the endometrium or ovary. More detailed information for each patient tumor will be provided in selected phenotype/attributes data. Both scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq assays revealed the underlying cellular heterogeneity in transcriptional output and in chromatin accessibility for each patient tumor specimen. In this work, we identified potential non-coding regulatory elements that mediate cell type-specific gene expression patterns. These data will serve as an important reference for the single-cell genomics and gynecologic oncology research communities.

• Mechanisms of Chemotherapy Resistance in T-ALL

  The goals of this study are to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying leukemic transformation and chemotherapy resistance in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Towards this end, a cohort of T-ALL lymphoblast specimens was collected at the time of initial T-ALL diagnosis (prior to the start of therapy) from children enrolled on contemporary clinical trials, Children's Oncology Group study AALL0434 and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute 05-001. Samples were analyzed using targeted exon sequencing and RNA sequencing analysis. Results of these analyses form the basis of studies that have been submitted for publication, and will be linked to this entry once published.

• NHLBI TOPMed: Genetics of Asthma in Latino Americans (GALA)

  This is a case pharmacogenetic study of bronchodilator drug response (Albuterol) among racially admixed Latino children with asthma between the ages of 8-40. Lung function testing was performed using the KoKo PFT system and each participant was administered albuterol dependent on age. Participants under 16 years of age, were administered 2 puffs of albuterol from a standard metered dose inhaler and 4 puffs for participants over 16 years old. The overall goal is to identify genetic factors which are predictive of drug response in children with asthma. The principal tools include a questionnaire and biological specimen collection. Participants with asthma have physician-diagnosed asthma, symptoms and medications.
