• Mapping Disease Pathways for Biliary Atresia

  Biliary atresia (BA) is a poorly understood rare disease that causes jaundice and liver failure at birth due to underdeveloped bile ducts. Associated defects include poor development of the portal vein and involvement of non-hepatic organs. After initial surgical drainage in all patients, the majority need liver transplantation because of progressive cirrhosis. In addition to the risks of lifelong immunosuppression after liver transplantation, the post-transplant biliary atresia patient can experience surgical complications like portal vein thrombosis along with the consequences of extrahepatic involvement often found in affected patients. To determine the genetic basis of this disease, a genome-wide association study of 811 BA cases, all of whom received liver transplantation, and 4654 controls was performed with a 2.5 million SNP array. The study found that BA associates with polygenic risk conferred by over 6000 common variants, minor allele frequencies >1%, in 102 ciliogenesis and planar polarity effector genes (CPLANE). Whole genome sequencing of 100 of 811 cases revealed that most cases harbored rare variants, allele frequencies Whole genome genotyping, gene expression and whole genome sequencing data is being made available.

• Acute Respiratory Distress Network (ARDSNet) Studies 10 and 12 Statins for Acutely Injured Lungs from Sepsis (SAILS) (ARDSNet-SAILS-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-SAILS include Plasma, DNA, and Urine. Please note that use of biospecimens in genetic research is subject to a tiered consent. Objectives The SAILS trial was intended to assess the efficacy and safety of oral rosuvastatin in participants with sepsis-induced Acute Lung Injury (ALI) and test the hypothesis that rosuvastatin therapy would improve the clinical outcomes of critically ill participants with sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Background In ARDS, inflammation in the lungs and other organs can cause life-threatening organ failure. Inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (statins) can modulate inflammatory responses. Previous observational studies suggested that statins improved clinical outcomes in participants with sepsis. Participants There were 745 participants. Design Participants were randomly assigned in permuted blocks to receive either enteral rosuvastatin or placebo. A 40 mg loading dose of the study drug was administered within four hours after randomization. Subsequently, maintenance doses of 20 mg were administered daily until the third day after discharge from the intensive care unit, study day 28, hospital discharge, or death, whichever came first. The primary outcome measure was mortality before hospital discharge home or until study day 60 if the participant was still in a health care facility. Secondary outcome measures included the number of ventilator-free days to day 28, organ-failure-free days to day 14, and ICU-free days to day 28. Conclusions The study was stopped because of futility after 745 of an estimated 1000 participants had been enrolled. There was no significant difference between study groups in 60 day in-hospital mortality or in mean ventilator-free days. The rosuvastatin group had fewer days free of hepatic or renal failure. Thus, rosuvastatin therapy did not improve clinical outcomes in participants with sepsis-associated ARDS and may have contributed to hepatic and renal organ dysfunction.

• Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI): Enhancement of Data Sharing in Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Cancers

  NCI's Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) is building a community centered around childhood cancer care and research data. Through enhanced data sharing, we can improve our understanding of cancer biology to improve preventive measures, treatment, quality of life, and survivorship, as well as ensure that researchers learn from every child with cancer. While childhood cancers represent the leading cause of death in children over the age of 1, they are collectively rare, comprising approximately 1%‒3% of cancers diagnosed annually in the United States. Information on diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes is often stored at the hospital or institution where a child is treated, making it difficult to answer scientific questions about childhood cancer. Sharing clinical care and research data generated by children's hospitals, clinics, or networks broadly with the community can help us learn faster and, on a scale much larger than any single institution caring for children can learn on its own. To exploit the rapid advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies and realize the goals of precision cancer medicine, the UMICH Cancer Center established the Michigan Oncology Sequencing Center (MI-ONCOSEQ). This UMICH Cancer Center provisions genomic data derived from the Michigan Oncology Sequencing Center (MI-ONCOSEQ) clinical sequencing assay for patients that fall within the inclusion criteria of the CCDI data sharing initiative. An "integrative sequencing approach" carried out in a CLIA-certified laboratory is utilized to provide a comprehensive landscape of the genetic alterations in individual tumor specimens for the purpose of identifying informative and/or actionable mutations. Using a number of computational pipelines that we have developed in-house or have adapted from the public domain, candidate molecular aberrations are nominated and then analyzed by scientists for clinical significance and/or relevance. This approach enables the detection of point mutations, insertions/deletions, gene fusions and rearrangements, amplifications/deletions, and outlier expressed genes. Furthermore, we can identify certain germline alterations that may also be relevant.

• Neurogenetic Studies of Trichotillomania and Excoriation Disorder

  The overall objective of this study is to use a series of state-of-the-art neurogenetic approaches to advance our understanding of the genes and pathways that contribute to trichotillomania and excoriation disorder. In aim 1, we will use whole-exome DNA sequencing to examine rare sequence variants in 200 parent-child trios where the child has trichotillomania or excoriation disorder. In aim 2, we will examine rare copy number variants in the same 200 parent-child trios using genome-wide array data or low-pass whole-genome DNA sequencing. In aim 3, induced-pluripotent stem cell brain organoids will be derived from 4 cases with trichotillomania and/or excoriation disorder and matched controls. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) will be performed to explore transcriptomic differences between cases and controls. Genomic data generated under this award will be shared through dbGaP.

• FORCE Trial: Resistance Training Intervention Among Colon Cancer Patients

  Our study population was composed of participants of the FORCE clinical trial, which was a randomized resistance training intervention study for Stage II and III colon cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Patients were recruited from Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, the Penn State Cancer Institute, and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and were assigned to resistance training or usual care within the first weeks of adjuvant chemotherapy. Lean mass was evaluated at the beginning and the end of the study, and participants were monitored for toxicities associated with chemotherapy and chemotherapy dose modifications. Genome-wide DNA methylation was assayed using peripheral blood collected at the FORCE trial baseline and the post-intervention visit using the Infinium MethylationEPIC v1.0 (EPIC) BeadChips (Illumina). EPIC array signal intensities were preprocessed and used to estimate site-specific DNA methylation levels, which were used for the estimation of several epigenetic clocks. Our study hypothesized that those with accelerated epigenetic age at the beginning of chemotherapy would be more likely to have modifications to their assigned chemotherapy regimen driven by a higher burden of chemotoxicities. We also hypothesized that epigenetic age acceleration would significantly increase over the course of chemotherapy and that a resistance training intervention would reduce the rate of change.

• NCTN: Treatment of Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumors (AT/RT) of the Central Nervous System with Surgery, Intensive Chemotherapy, and 3-D Conformal Radiation (ACNS0333)

  Study ID: ACNS0333NCT Number: NCT00653068 Children's Oncology Group (COG)Submitted in collaboration with the NCTN/NCORP Data ArchiveTrial Title: NCTN: Treatment of Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumors (AT/RT) of the Central Nervous System with Surgery, Intensive Chemotherapy, and 3-D Conformal Radiation (ACNS0333)Trial Description: This phase III trial studies the side effects of combination chemotherapy, 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, and an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant, and to see how well they work in treating young patients with atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor of the central nervous system. Giving high-dose chemotherapy before an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

• Comprehensive Single-Cell Multiomic Profiling of the Human Heart in Health and Disease

  We profiled all four chambers (left ventricle, right ventricle, left atrium, right atrium) of human hearts from 36 donors (23 with heart failure, 13 non-failing controls) using single-cell multiome (joint chromatin accessibility and gene expression), Droplet Paired-Tag (joint histone modification H3K27ac/H3K27me3 and gene expression), and Droplet Hi-C (single-cell chromatin conformation) assays. The heart failure cohort included 13 ischemic (ICM) and 10 non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) patients. Genotyping array and whole genome sequencing (WGS) data were also generated from the same donors (when applicable - not all donors have WGS/Genotyping data). Integrative analyses across 759,222 total nuclei revealed cell type-specific changes in gene regulatory programs, chromatin organization, and transcription factor networks - particularly in cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts - during heart failure. Mapping cell type-specific enhancer-gene interactions enabled identification of likely causal genetic contributors to heart failure from GWAS data. Data include individual-level genotype, phenotype, WGS, single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq), single-cell ATAC-seq (scATAC-seq), single-cell histone modification, and single-cell Hi-C data (scHi-C).

• MP2PRT: Genomic and Molecular Characterization of Biomarkers Associated with Tumor Angiogenesis, DNA Repair, and Immunologic Tolerance using Samples from the NRG Oncology Phase 3 Randomized Trial, GOG-0240 (NCT00803062)

  The Molecular Profiling to Predict Response to Treatment (MP2PRT) program is part of the NCI's Cancer Moonshot Initiative. The aim of this program is the retrospective characterization and analysis of biospecimens collected from completed NCI-sponsored trials of the National Clinical Trials Network and the NCI Community Oncology Research Program. This study is one of the selected studies under this program. For this study, genomic characterization (WGS, WXS, Total RNAseq, miRNAseq) has been performed on cervical tumor tissue from patients with advanced disease (persistent, recurrent, and metastatic) and matching germline samples. It is hypothesized that the characterization of these tissues using next generation sequencing will lead to the identification of relevant novel genetic aberrations within the immunologic, DNA repair, and tumor angiogenesis domains that dichotomize the study population into exceptional responders and non-responders to systemic therapy, with a spectrum of response manifesting between the two extremes.
