• Genome-wide expression profiles to compare array-based, RNAseq and NanoString technologies in patients with resected pancreatic ductal carcinoma.

  Using formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues collected prospectively in patients with resected pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDC) we generated genome-wide expression profiles to compare array-based, RNAseq and NanoString technologies. Samples included in the study were collected 17 patients. After careful selection by the pathologist of 17 malignant cells-enriched, 7 stroma-enriched, and 6 normal (normal pancreas in 4 cases and normal duodenum in 2 cases) regions, sections were macrodissected, and total RNA extracted. Two additional FFPE-frozen matched-paired PDAC from our local Biobank were included. Our study represents the most extensive work comparing three technologies to generate gene expression profiles from FFPE samples, and provides technical guidance for future biomarker studies in samples collected prospectively in the context of clinical trials.

• M116 Proteome Extracellular Vesicle Profiling

  For extracellular vesicles (ECV) extraction from plasma, 1M ammonium acetate was added to precipitate ECVs on ice for 45 min. Then, 100 mM ammonium acetate was added to the mixture, and ECVs were precipitated by centrifugation at 20,000g for 30 min. ECVs were washed with 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. 1066-33-7). Then, 600 µl of 1% ammonium deoxycholate (Sigma Aldrich, Cat. K2755-1MG) were added. The concentration of protein in each sample was measured using a bicinchoninic acid assay (BCA assay). Ammonium bicarbonate was used to dilute 500 µg of protein into a final volume of 500 µl. Next, dithiothreitol (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. D9779) was added to obtain a final concentration of 20 mM, followed by iodoacetamide (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. I6125) to a final concentration of 40 mM. Next, trypsin (Roche, Cat. RTRYP-RO) was added to the sample in a 1:25 protein ratio and incubated at 37°C overnight. Next day, formic acid (ThermoFisher Scientific, Cat. 28905) in a final concentration of 0.1% was added and extraction of proteins was done using Empore™ Solid Phase Extraction Cartridges (3M), following manufacturer’s instructions. The eluted samples were then centrifuged for 90 min. using a speed vacuum centrifuge (Thermo, RC1010), followed by snap freezing in liquid nitrogen. Then, the samples were kept in a freeze dryer (LyoDry Compact Benchtop, MechaTech) overnight. Next, the samples were reconstituted in 30 µl of 0.1% formic acid (FA) and an o-Phthaladehyde (Oparil) assay was performed to determine the concentration of each sample. After that, the sample was prepared in a concentration of 0.5 µg/µl using 0.1% FA and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). The samples were prepared in glass mass spectrometry vials for proteomic analysis using a Waters Synapt G2Si High-Definition Mass Spectrometry (Waters Corporation) operated by the MassLynx 4.1., 110 min. running time with 2 µl of an injection containing 1 µg of peptide. Quality controls were also run along with samples to guarantee consistency. Pooled quality controls were made from all samples, in which the samples were run at the beginning, middle and end of the mass spectrometry run. Samples were randomized before running the experiment. The proteomic data was then imported into Progenesis software 4.2 (Nonlinear Dynamic, UK) to identify and quantify peptides and proteins.

• UK10K NEURO ASD MGAS

  In the UK10K project we propose a series of complementary genetic approaches to find new low frequency/rare variants contributing to disease phenotypes. These will be based on obtaining the genome wide sequence of 4000 samples from the TwinsUK and ALSPAC cohorts (at 6x sequence coverage), and the exome sequence (protein coding regions and related conserved sequence) of 6000 samples selected for extreme phenotypes. Our studies will focus primarily on cardiovascular-related quantitative traits, obesity and related metabolic traits, neurodevelopmental disorders and a limited number of extreme clinical phenotypes that will provide proof-of-concept for future familial trait sequencing. We will analyse directly quantitative traits in the cohorts and the selected traits in the extreme samples, and also use imputation down to 0.1% allele frequency to extend the analyses to further sample sets with genome wide genotype data. In each case we will investigate indels and larger structural variants as well as SNPs, and use statistical methods that combine rare variants in a locus or pathway as well as single-variant approaches. The MGAS (Molecular Genetics of Autism Study) samples are from a clinical sample seen by specialists at the Maudsley hospital and who have had detailed phenotypic assessments with ADI-R and ADOS.For further information on this cohort please contact Patrick Bolton (patrick.bolton@kcl.ac.uk).

• Germline mutations in the transcription factor IKZF5 cause thrombocytopenia.

  To identify novel causes of hereditary thrombocytopenia, we performed a genetic association analysis of whole-genome sequencing data from 13,037 individuals enrolled in the NIHR BioResource, including 233 cases with isolated thrombocytopenia. We found an association between rare variants in the transcription factor encoding gene IKZF5 and thrombocytopenia. We report five causal missense variants in or near IKZF5 zinc fingers (Znfs), of which two occurred de novo and three co-segregated in three pedigrees. A canonical DNA-Znf binding model predicts that three of the variants alter DNA recognition. Expression studies showed that chromatin binding was disrupted in mutant compared to wild-type (WT) IKZF5 and electron microscopy revealed a reduced quantity of alpha granules in normally sized platelets. Proplatelet formation (PPF) was reduced in megakaryocytes (MKs) from seven cases relative to six controls. Comparison of RNA-seq data from platelets, monocytes, neutrophils and CD4 T-cells from three cases and 14 healthy controls showed 1,194 differentially expressed genes in platelets but only four DEGs in each of the other blood cell types. In conclusion, IKZF5 is a novel transcriptional regulator of megakaryopoiesis and the eighth transcription factor associated with dominant thrombocytopenia in humans.

• Integrative_genome_profiling_in_AML

  AML emerges as a consequence of accumulating independent genetic aberrations that direct regulation and/or dysfunction of genes resulting in aberrant activation of signalling pathways, resistance to apoptosis and uncontrolled proliferation. Given the significant heterogeneity of AML genomes, AML patients demonstrate a highly variable response rate and poor median survival in response to current chemotherapy regimens. For the past 4 years we have conducted gene expression profiling on purified bone marrow populations equating to normal haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from healthy subjects and patients with de novo AML in order to identify AML signatures of aberrantly expressed genes in cancer versus normal. We are now applying a series of bioinformatic methodologies combined with clinical and conventional diagnostic data to establish novel genomics strategies for improved prognostication of AML. Additionally, we use our AML signatures to unravel oncogenic signalling pathway activities in AML patients and test inhibitory drugs for these pathways inn preclinical therapeutic programmes. We consider that superimposing GEP and clinical data for our AML patient cohort with additional data on their mutational status will significantly improve the prognostic power of the study as well as unravel yet unknown mutations associated with aberrant signalling activities of oncogenic pathways.

• TOPDECC-Trans-omics for Precision Dentistry and Early Childhood Caries: Genome-Wide Genotyping (CIDR) and Microbiome in the ZOE 2.0 Study

  The ZOE 2.0 study is a cross-sectional genetic epidemiologic investigation of early childhood oral health, conducted in a state-wide, community-based, multi-ethnic sample of 3-5-year-old preschool-age children in North Carolina, United States. Between 2016-2019, 8,059 children were enrolled and 6,404 of them underwent comprehensive oral-clinical examinations that provided usable data on dental caries (i.e., early childhood caries; ECC) phenotypes. Saliva samples and supragingival biofilm samples were collected by 10 trained and calibrated examiners during the clinical encounters that took place in enrolled children's preschool (Head Start) centers. Specifically, the study enrolled participants and conducted clinical examinations in 260 Head Start centers that belonged to 34 Head Start programs in NC. 6,262 participants provided clinical data and had extracted DNA that met quantity and quality criteria for high-density genotyping and 6,144 of them were retained in the genome-wide association study (GWAS). Additional information on oral health-related behaviors, risk factors and self-reported outcomes was collected prior to the conduct of the clinical exam using self-administered questionnaires completed by children's guardians. Height and weight measurements were used to derive measures of adiposity. A domestic water sample for fluoride concentration measurement was obtained after the clinical examination for approximately 25% of study participants, to provide a measure of environmental exposure to this known caries-preventive agent and this information was subsequently imputed to the entire cohort using a novel GIS-informed method. Supragingival biofilm samples for microbiome analyses were collected from all participating children. Biofilm samples from a pilot 5% (n=300) of the cohort were carried forward to WGS (metagenomics; MTG) and RNAseq (metatranscriptomics; MTX) analyses, and these sequence data are being released via the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) in this dbGaP accession: 300 participants with MTG, 297 of those with MTX. Of note, the 17 participants with MTG data did not have genotypes produced, therefore the study's released participant total count is 6161, including 6144 (with genotypes released) plus 17 (with no genotypes released but with MTG data in the SRA).The study's primary objective is to identify risk loci and gene sets/pathways for ECC and related traits (e.g., caries prevalence and severity) by conducting a trans-ethnic GWAS. Genotyping is based on the Infinium™ Global Diversity Array and the TOPMed panel is used for imputation via the University of Michigan Imputation server. Secondarily, the ZOE 2.0 seeks to determine prevalence and severity of dental caries, other oral disease outcomes, and putative risk factors for dental caries in this low-income population-based sample of European-, African-, and Hispanic/Latino-American preschool-age children.

• The proliferative history shapes the DNA methylome of B-cell tumor and predicts clinical outcome

  Here, we provide access to CLL and DLBCL DNA methylation and gene expression data in the context of a systematic analysis of the DNA methylation variability in 1,595 samples of normal cell subpopulations and 14 tumor subtypes spanning the entire human B-cell lineage. This approach showed that differential methylation among tumor entities relates to differences in cellular origin and to de novo epigenetic alterations, which allowed us to build an accurate machine learning-based diagnostic algorithm. We identify extensive patient-specific methylation variability in silenced chromatin associated with the proliferative history of normal and neoplastic B cells. Mitotic activity generally leaves both hyper- and hypomethylation imprints, but some B-cell neoplasms preferentially gain or lose DNA methylation. Subsequently, we construct a DNA methylation-based mitotic clock called epiCMIT, whose lapse magnitude represents a strong independent prognostic variable in B-cell tumors and is associated with particular driver genetic alterations. Our findings reveal DNA methylation as a holistic tracer of B-cell tumor developmental history, with implications in the differential diagnosis and prediction of clinical outcome.

• Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) Proteogenomic Confirmatory Study of Breast, Colon, Lung, and Ovarian Tumors

  Recently, significant progress has been made in characterizing and sequencing the genomic alterations in statistically robust numbers of samples from several types of cancer. For example, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) and other similar efforts are identifying genomic alterations associated with specific cancers (e.g., copy number aberrations, rearrangements, point mutations, epigenomic changes, etc.). The availability of these multi-dimensional data to the scientific community sets the stage for the development of new molecularly targeted cancer interventions. Understanding the comprehensive functional changes in cancer proteomes arising from genomic alterations and other factors is the next logical step in the development of high-value candidate protein biomarkers. Hence, proteomics can greatly advance the understanding of molecular mechanisms of disease pathology via the analysis of changes in protein expression, their modifications and variations, as well as protein-protein interaction, signaling pathways and networks responsible for cellular functions such as apoptosis and oncogenesis. Realizing this great potential, the NCI launched the second phase of the CPTC initiative in September 2011. Renamed the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium, CPTAC is beginning to leverage its analytical outputs from Phase I to define cancer proteomes on genomically-characterized biospecimens. The purpose of this integrative approach is to provide the broad scientific community with knowledge that links genotype to proteotype and ultimately phenotype. The data contained in this dataset are derived from samples designed to confirm CPTAC findings from the TCGA samples. These confirmatory samples contain breast, ovarian, colon, and lung tumors collected via a protocol optimized for proteomics. Specifically, ischemic time of the sample was controlled and restricted to less than 30 minutes. ACGT, Inc. produced whole exome, mRNAseq, and miRNAseq for these samples. Corresponding proteomic data are available at: https://cptac-data-portal.georgetown.edu/cptacPublic/ The study design was to profile colon, breast, ovarian, and lung tumors both genomically and proteomically. Germline DNA was obtained from blood. Normal control samples for proteomics varied by organ site: adjacent colon tissue for colon cases, contralateral breast tissue for some breast cases, and Fallopian tube fimbria for some ovarian cases. Lung cases had no normal control for proteomic analysis. All cancer samples were derived from primary and untreated tumors.
