• Omic Studies in Children's Respiratory and Environmental Workgroup (CREW) Cohorts

  Children's Respiratory Research Workgroup (CREW) is an NIH-funded project consisting of multiple individual U.S. cohorts and three scientific centers working together to identify phenotypes and causes of childhood asthma. CREW will include data from a large number of children and their families, with broad diversity in terms of ethnicity, family characteristics, neighborhoods and geographic locations. One of the primary goals of CREW is to put together sets of data and samples of participating cohorts to identify phenotypes of childhood asthma (i.e. specific subtypes of asthma that can be distinguished by clinical features such as natural history, triggers, exacerbation frequency, concurrent allergies, lung function, sex, etc). Omics studies will include genotyping, methylation, and RNA sequencing. By integrating the DNA genotyping with the expression, immunologic and clinical data, we will identify eQTL, inflammation QTL, and lung function QTL, as well as QTL associated with other biomarkers. Analyses will identify genetic, epigenetic, transcriptional and protein/metabolite profiles that are associated with specific exposures or phenotypes. As we obtain mechanistic insights about personal and early life risk factors, we will connect asthma phenotypes with underlying causes and pathogenic mechanisms to define endotypes of childhood asthma.

• Rapid Evolution of a Skin Lightening Allele in Southern African KhoeSan

  The genetic architecture and polygenicity of skin pigmentation is explored in KhoeSan communities, including Nama individuals whose phenotype and genotype data are provided in this dataset. By pairing genotypes and quantitative spectrophotometric skin pigmentation phenotypes, we show that skin pigmentation is highly heritable in KhoeSan, yet known pigmentation loci only explains a small fraction of the phenotypic variance. Using genome-wide association analyses, we identified both canonical and non-canonical skin pigmentation loci. We show that this phenotype is more polygenic and complex than previously characterized. (Martin et al., Cell 2017. PMID: 29195075) Following up on the top associated signal with large effect size in the gene SLC24A5, we demonstrate that the canonical Eurasian nonsynonymous allele was introduced into KhoeSan via a recent migration ~2 kya and was under extremely strong selection. The derived allele was present at high frequency despite controlling for gene flow. With high-throughput sequences in the captured SLC24A5 region, we show that the most common derived haplotype is identical amongst Europeans, eastern African and KhoeSan. Using 4-population demographic simulations with selection, we show that the allele was introduced into the KhoeSan only 2,000 ya via a back-to-Africa migration and then experienced a selective sweep.

• Broad utility of ultrasensitive analysis of ctDNA dynamics across solid tumors treated with immunotherapy

  Prior studies have suggested the biomarker potential of plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). In order to characterize the potential role of ultrasensitive ctDNA detection in the management of these patients we have performed tumor whole-genome-informed, ultrasensitive ctDNA analysis—tracking approximately 1,800 tumor-specific mutations per patient—in a retrospective cohort (n=136) and a prospective validation cohort (n=66) across 24 cancer types treated with ICIs alone or in combination with bispecific antibodies or immune cell engagers. Analyzing 1,455 longitudinal samples, we found that ctDNA molecular response measured as early as 3 weeks after treatment initiation correlated with improved progression-free and overall survival, while ctDNA clearance at any time strongly correlated with radiological response and prolonged survival. Additionally, ctDNA dynamics distinguished true progression from pseudoprogression and predicted outcomes in patients receiving continued immunotherapy beyond initial progression. This study highlights the broader applicability of ultrasensitive ctDNA as a biomarker across cancer types and immunotherapy modalities.

• Benchmark Dataset for Somatic Mutation Calling in Cell-Free DNA

  This study provides a comprehensive benchmarking resource for somatic variant detection in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from cancer patients. Longitudinal plasma samples from colorectal and breast cancer cohorts were selected to create patient-matched dilution series spanning ultra-low to high circulating-tumour-DNA (ctDNA) fractions, while preserving each individual’s germline and clonal haematopoiesis background. Deep whole-genome sequencing (150×) and ultra-deep whole-exome sequencing (2,000×) generated a reference call set of ~37,000 single-nucleotide variants and ~58,000 insertions/deletions. These data enabled systematic evaluation of nine somatic variant callers across variable ctDNA levels and sequencing depths, and were further used to explore machine-learning–guided parameter tuning. The resulting dataset offers an openly accessible framework for developers and clinicians to assess and optimize somatic variant calling in liquid biopsy applications.

• Brazilian Thyroid WES

  Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare malignant tumor that arises from parafollicular cells. Approximately 8% of thyroid cancer cases are MTC, and about 25% of these have a hereditary component. Incorporating molecular parameters into tumor classification is important. Besides, the presence of pathogenic germline variants can impact directly on cancer prevention. Thus, the aim of this study was to perform whole exome sequencing (WES) on a consecutive series of hereditary RET wild-type MTC patients to identify genetic variants that may be involved in the carcinogenesis of this tumor. WES was performed on 28 patients negative for germline RET pathogenic variants using the NovaSeq 6000 platform. Variant classification followed American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines.Our study represents a significant advancement in gene discovery for MTC genetics.

• The transcriptomic response of skeletal muscle in life-long high-level trained and untrained men and women after acute exercise

  To investigate the influence of lifelong exercise training on the response of skeletal muscle to a bout of acute exercise we generated global transcriptomic data from long-term endurance (8 men, 8 women) and strength (8 men, 8 women) trained individuals and healthy age-matched untrained controls (8 men, 8 women). Skeletal muscle biopsies were taken from M. vastus lateralis before, directly after, and after 1h and 3hrs following acute exercise. All subjects completed one bout of acute endurance exercise and one bout of acute resistance exercise, separated by 4-8 weeks. All 384 samples were multiplexed in 4 lanes and sequenced (2x250bp paired end) on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000.

• Pan-neuroblastoma analysis reveals age- and signature-associated driver alterations

  Neuroblastoma is a pediatric malignancy with heterogeneous clinical outcomes depending on age and other factors. To better understand neuroblastoma pathogenesis, here we analyze whole-genome, whole-exome and/or transcriptome sequencing data from 702 neuroblastoma samples, half of which are new data. Over 95% of samples harbor at least one recurrent driver alteration and most aberrations, including MYCN, ATRX, and TERT alterations, differ in frequency by age. MYCN alterations occur at median 2.3 years of age, TERT at 3.8 years, and ATRX at 5.6 years, suggesting age-specific susceptibility to genetic alterations. Mutational signature analysis shows that reactive oxygen-species (ROS)-induced mutations are the most common cause of single nucleotide variant (SNV) drivers in neuroblastoma, including most ALK and Ras pathway SNVs. ROS-induced mutagenesis is both an early event, as it causes truncal variants, and continuous as it also induces relapse-specific mutations. ROS-induced mutations are more abundant in neuroblastomas with MYCN amplification, 17q gains, and increased expression of mitochondrial ribosome genes. We observe recurrent FGFR1 N546K or internal tandem duplication variants in 6 patients and ALK N-terminal structural alterations in 5 samples, identifying additional patients amenable to precision therapy.

• Somatic mutations predict an aggressive phenotype in meningioma but do not drive grade progression

  A subset of meningiomas progress in histopathological grade and drivers of progression are poorly understood. We aimed to identify somatic mutations and copy number alterations (CNAs) associated with grade progression in a unique matched tumour dataset. Utilising a prospective database, we identified 10 patients with meningiomas that had undergone grade progression and for whom matched pre- and post-progression tissue (n=50 samples) was available for targeted next-generation sequencing. Mutations in NF2 were identified in 4/10 patients, 94% were non-skull base tumours. In one patient, three different NF2 mutations were identified in four tumours. NF2 mutated tumours showed large scale CNAs, with highly recurrent losses in 1p, 10, 22q, and frequent CNAs on chromosomes 2, 3 and 4. There was a correlation between grade and CNAs in a subset of patients. In two patients with sphenoid wing Grade III tumours without detected NF2 mutations, a STAT6-NAB2 inversion was identified. Two patients with tumours without detected NF2 mutations showed a combination of loss and high gain on chromosome 17q. Mutations in SETD2, TP53, TERT promoter and NF2 were not uniform across recurrent tumours and did not correspond with grade progression. Meningiomas that progress in grade generally have a mutational profile already detectable in the pre-progressed tumour, suggesting an aggressive phenotype . CNA profiling shows frequent alterations in NF2 mutated tumours compared to non NF2 mutated tumours and the pattern of CNAs may be associated with grade progression in a subset of cases.

• Dissociation of solid tumour tissues with cold active protease for single-cell RNA-seq minimizes conserved collagenase-associated stress responses

  Background Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) is a powerful tool for studying complex biological systems, such as tumour heterogeneity and tissue microenvironments. However, the sources of technical and biological variation in primary solid tumour tissues and patient-derived mouse xenografts for scRNAseq, are not well understood. Here, we used low temperature (6°C) protease and collagenase (37°C) to identify the transcriptional signatures associated with tissue dissociation across a diverse scRNAseq dataset comprising 128,481 cells from patient cancer tissues, patient-derived breast cancer xenografts and cancer cell lines.Results We observe substantial variation in standard quality control (QC) metrics of cell viability across conditions and tissues. From FACS sorted populations gated for cell viability, we identify a sub-population of dead cells that would pass standard data filtering practices, and quantify the extent to which their transcriptomes differ from live cells. We identify a further subpopulation of transcriptomically “dying” cells that exhibit up-regulation of MHC class I transcripts, in contrast with live and fully dead cells. From the contrast between tissue protease dissociation at 37°C or 6°C, we observe that collagenase digestion results in a stress response. We derive a core gene set of 512 heat shock and stress response genes, including FOS and JUN, induced by collagenase (37°C), which are minimized by dissociation with a cold active protease (6°C). While induction of these genes was highly conserved across all cell types, cell type-specific responses to collagenase digestion were observed in patient tissues. We observe that the yield of cancer and non-cancer cell types varies between tissues and dissociation methods.Conclusions The method and conditions of tumour dissociation influence cell yield and transcriptome state and are both tissue and cell type dependent. Interpretation of stress pathway expression differences in cancer single cell studies, including components of surface immune recognition such as MHC class I, may be especially confounded. We define a core set of 512 genes that can assist with identification of such effects in dissociated scRNA-seq experiments.

• Lindsey E. Jones et al. Patient-derived cells from recurrent tumors that model the evolution of IDH-mutant glioma. Neuro-Oncology Advances, 2020. We established robust, versatile, and well-characterized Patient Derived Cells (PDC) of an IDH1-mutant astrocytoma and an IDH1-mutant oligodendroglioma that represents defined evolutionary stages of chemotherapy-induced hypermutation. The PDCs retain tumor subtype defining features over time as well as classic hallmarks of cancer, including anchorage independent growth and cell immortality. The integrated phylogenies composed of PDCs,single-cell-derived PDCs, patient-derived xenografts, and corresponding spatiotemporal tumor tissue samples also provide new insight into the clonality, evolutionary pattern, and immense mutational load of hypermutated IDH mutant gliomas.

  IDH-mutant lower-grade gliomas can undergo malignant progression via temozolomide-driven hypermutation. Patient-derived cells (PDC) that model the genetically distinct hypermutated (HM) tumor subgroup are generally lacking, and few if any human brain tumor cell models are from defined evolutionary time points. Here, we characterize multiple PDC derived from independent surgical specimens of IDH1-mutant recurrences, including an ATRX and TP53-mutant astrocytoma and a 1p/19q co-deleted and TERT promoter-mutant oligodendroglioma. We determined the evolutionary time points represented by each PDC using exome sequencing and phylogenetic reconstruction, comparing the PDC and single cell clones of the PDC (scPDC) to multiple spatiotemporal tumor tissue samples, PDC-derived xenografts (PDX) and patient-matched blood. The tumor samples exhibited TMZ-induced mutagenesis and a branching pattern of evolution. We found clear evidence of two fully independent founder HM clones in the tumor tissue that are faithfully represented by independent PDC. The PDC, scPDC and PDX also shared the mutagenesis signature and represent the mid and later evolutionary time points of their corresponding tumors. The PDC maintained the tumor subtype-defining features over many passages, including heterozygosity of the IDH1 R132H mutation, production of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), and subtype-specific telomere maintenance mechanisms. The PDC from both tumors exhibited anchorage-independent growth in soft agar. The oligodendroglioma PDC formed infiltrative intracranial tumors with characteristic oligodendroglioma histology, initially with a long period to tumor formation. We conclude that the PDC, scPDC and PDX faithfully model the heterogeneous clonal origins of the corresponding tumor tissue. The multilevel analysis also provides new insight into the intratumoral heterogeneity and vast mutational load of HM glioma. The PDC from multiple evolutionary time points presented in the context of full clinical timelines may be useful to model evolution and intratumoral heterogeneity, important sources of therapeutic failure.

• Neurodevelopmental Genomics: Trajectories of Complex Phenotypes

  This study is a collaboration between the Center for Applied Genomics (CAG) at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Brain Behavior Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn). The cohort consists of youths aged 8-21 years who consulted the CHOP network and volunteered to participate in genomic studies of complex pediatric disorders. All participants underwent clinical assessment, including a neuropsychiatric structured interview and review of electronic medical records. They were also administered a neuroscience based computerized neurocognitive battery (CNB) and a subsample underwent neuroimaging. These are described separately below. Clinical Testing: GOASSESS, a computerized, structured screener developed from a modified version of the Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS, Kaufman et al. 1997, PMID: 9204677). Components of the interview include a timeline of life events, demographics and medical history, Global Assessment of Functioning, and Interviewer Observations. A psychopathology symptom and criterion-related assessment of mood disorders (depression, mania/hypomania), anxiety disorders (overanxious/generalized-, separation-, social-anxiety, specific phobia, panic disorder, agoraphobia, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder), behavioral disorders (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder), psychosis spectrum (psychosis and prodromal symptoms), eating disorders, suicidal thinking and behavior, and treatment history. This is also based on K-SADS. An abbreviated Family Interview for Genetics Studies (FIGS) to assess major domains of psychopathology in the proband's first-degree relatives. Computerized Neurocognitive Battery: The CNB, developed for large-scale studies, yields measures of accuracy and speed for domains of executive-control functions (abstraction, attention, working memory), episodic memory (verbal, facial, spatial), complex cognitive processing (language reasoning, nonverbal reasoning, spatial processing), social cognition (emotion identification, emotion intensity differentiation, age differentiation) and sensorimotor and motor speed. The following neurobehavioral domains were assessed: Penn Conditional Exclusion Test is a measure of abstraction and concept formation. Participants decide which of 4 objects does not belong with the other 3, based on one of three sorting principles, which change. Feedback is used. Attention: The Penn Continuous Performance Test. Participants respond to a set of 7-segment displays whenever they form a digit or letter. Working Memory: The Letter N-back Test displays sequences of uppercase letters with a stimulus duration of 500 ms (ISI 2,500 ms.) In the 0-back condition, participants respond to a single target (i.e., X). In the 1-back condition they respond if the letter is identical to that preceding it. In the 2-back condition, they respond if the letter is identical to that presented two trials back. Verbal Memory: The Penn Word Memory Test presents 20 target words that are then mixed with 20 distracters equated for frequency, length, concreteness and low imageability. A 20 min delayed recall procedure is also administered. Face Memory: The Penn Face Memory Test presents 20 digitized faces that are then mixed with 20 distracters equated for age, gender and ethnicity. The procedure is repeated at 20 min delay. Spatial Memory: The Visual Object Learning Test uses Euclidean shapes as stimuli with the same paradigm as the word and face. Language and Analogical Reasoning: The Penn Verbal Reasoning consists of verbal analogy problems. Spatial Processing: Penn Line Orientation Test presents two lines at an angle, and participants click on a button that makes one line rotate until it has the same angle as the other. Emotion Processing: Facial displays of 4 emotions (Happy, Sad, Anger, Fear) and Neutral faces, 8 each, are presented and the subject identifies the emotion in a multiple-choice format. The facial stimuli are balanced for gender, age, and ethnicity. Sensory-motor Processing Speed: The task requires moving the mouse and clicking on a green square that disappears after the click. The square gets increasingly small and appears in unpredictable locations. Neuroimaging Protocol: Studies were performed at Penn using a Siemens Trio (Erlangen, Germany) 3T scanner equipped with 40mT/m gradients and 200 mT/m/s slew-rates. RF transmission utilized a quadrature body-coil, and reception a 12-channel head coil optimized for parallel imaging. Total image acquisition time was about 45 min. Structural Imaging: The T1-weighted protocol utilized a 3D, inversion-recovery, and magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition gradient echo. Relevant imaging procedures include: Structural magnetic imaging Diffusion tensor imaging ASL perfusion BOLD fMRI Neuroimaging tasks: Fractal N-Back Task of Spatial Working Memory Face Emotion Identification Task Neuroimages: The current data release includes over 9700 MRI images that may be downloaded through Authorized Access.

• FetalQuant-SD: Accurate quantification of fetal DNA fraction by shallow-depth sequencing of maternal plasma DNA

  Noninvasive prenatal testing using massively parallel sequencing of maternal plasma DNA has been rapidly adopted in clinical use worldwide. Fetal DNA fraction in a maternal plasma sample is an important parameter for accurate interpretations of these tests. However, there is a lack of methods involving low-sequencing depth and yet would allow a robust and accurate determination of fetal DNA fraction in maternal plasma for all pregnancies. In this study, we have developed a new method to accurately quantify the fetal DNA fraction by analysing the maternal genotypes and sequencing data of maternal plasma DNA. Fetal DNA fraction was calculated based on the proportion of non-maternal alleles at single-nucleotide polymorphisms where the mother is homozygous. This new approach achieves a median deviation of 0.6% between predicted fetal DNA fraction and the actual fetal DNA fraction using as low as 0.03-fold sequencing coverage of the human genome. We believe that this method will further enhance the clinical interpretations of noninvasive prenatal testing using genome-wide random sequencing.

• Plasma mutation profile of precursor lesions and colorectal cancer using the Oncomine Colon cfDNA Assay

  Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Early detection of precursor lesions or early-stage cancer could hamper cancer development or improve survival rates. Liquid biopsy, which detects tumor biomarkers, such as mutations, in blood, is a promising avenue for cancer screening. To assess the presence of genetic variants in plasma cell-free tumor DNA from patients with precursor lesions and colorectal cancer using the commercial Oncomine Colon cfDNA Assay. Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples from the blood plasma of 52 Brazilian patients were analyzed. Eight patients did not have any significant lesions (five normal colonoscopies and three hyperplastic polyps), 24 exhibited precursor lesions (13 nonadvanced adenomas, ten advanced adenomas, and one sessile serrated lesion), and 20 patients with cancer (CRC). The mutation profile of 14 CRC-associated genes were determined by next-generation sequencing (NGS) using the Oncomine Colon cfDNA Assay in the Ion Torrent PGM/S5 sequencer.

• Genome-Wide Approach to Measure Variant-Based Heritability of Drug Outcome Phenotypes

  Current pharmacogenetic approaches often use a few large-effect alleles to predict drug outcomes. However, many drug outcome phenotypes are determined by complex pathways that may be influenced by common single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) across the genome. We ascertained how much variation in drug response is explained by common SNVs for pharmacokinetic (drug levels) and pharmacodynamic phenotypes (highest creatinine) for 4 drugs: vancomycin, gentamicin, cyclosporine and tacrolimus.
