• dbGaP Collection: NIH Autism -omics Studies

  Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are early onset neurodevelopmental syndromes characterized by impairments in reciprocal social interaction and communication, accompanied by restricted and repetitive behaviors. ASDs afflict ~1% of the human population, and represent a major public health burden. Evidence for the etiology of ASD has consistently pointed to a strong genetic component, though the genetic architecture is indisputably complex. This dbGaP Collection consists of studies that include GWAS, sequencing (targeted, exome, whole genome), transcriptomics, etc, across many different cohorts. Many of the datasets have been curated and harmonized with NDAR prior to submission to dbGaP. Researchers who request and are approved to access this collection will be granted access to all related substudies in dbGaP as well as all NDAR data. Individual level genomics data will only be available for download through dbGaP along with minimal phenotype and pedigree information. Detailed phenotype and available imaging data related to these same research subjects are available for query and download within NDAR. The NDAR GUID will allow individual genomic data to be associated with all NDAR data collected for those subjects.

• Genetic Modifiers of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

  The primary determinant of disease severity in patients with severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or milder Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is whether their dystrophin gene (DMD) mutation disrupts the mRNA reading frame or permits the expression of a partially functional protein. However, even in the complete absence of dystrophin, variability in disease severity is observed, with candidate gene studies implicating several genes as potential DMD modifiers. This study undertakes a comprehensive genome-wide search for modifier loci influencing disease severity in DMD patients. The availability of subjects for such studies remains limited, resulting in modest sample sizes that challenge the GWAS design. To address this, we have implemented measures to minimize heterogeneity within the dataset at the dystrophin (DMD) gene itself, adopting a conservative approach to DMD mutation classification to limit the possibility of residual dystrophin expression. Additionally, the study employed statistical methods that are well-suited to smaller sample sizes, including the use of a novel linear regression-like residual for time to ambulatory loss and the application of evidential statistics, specifically the Posterior Probability of Linkage Disequilibrium (PPLD), to assess trait-SNP associations in the GWAS framework. With a sample size of 419 patients, this study has identified multiple candidate genetic modifier loci. The molecular data available in dbGaP includes 2,562,265 directly genotyped variants in 419 people using the Illumina Infinium Omni2.5Exome-8 Beadchip assay, achieving a genotyping rate of 0.998. The phenotypic data comprises age at ambulatory loss, steroid status, DMD gene mutation, and the PPLD value from the time-to-event (TE) phenotype.

• NCTN: A Phase 1/2 Study of CPX-351 (NSC# 775341) Alone followed by Fludarabine, Cytarabine, and G-CSF (FLAG) for Children with Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (AAML1421)

  Study ID: AAML1421NCT Number: NCT02642965 Children's Oncology Group (COG)Submitted in collaboration with the NCTN/NCORP Data ArchiveTrial Title: NCTN: A Phase 1/2 Study of CPX-351 (NSC# 775341) Alone followed by Fludarabine, Cytarabine, and G-CSF (FLAG) for Children with Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (AAML1421)Trial Description: This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine when given with fludarabine phosphate, cytarabine, and filgrastim and to see how well they work in treating younger patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back after treatment (relapsed) or is not responding to treatment (is refractory). Liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine is made up of two chemotherapy drugs, cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride, and works to stop cancer cell growth by blocking the cells from dividing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Filgrastim may increase the production of blood cells and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Giving liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine followed by fludarabine phosphate, cytarabine, and filgrastim may be a better treatment for patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia and may cause fewer side effects to the heart, a common effect of other chemotherapy treatments for acute myeloid leukemia. Clinical data presented in the following publication(s): PMID 32401633 Disease type(s): Hematopoietic Neoplasm/Leukemia - Acute Myeloid LeukemiaClinical Dataset(s) included: NCT02642965-D1 (PMID 32401633): There is 1 dataset for AAML1421's primary publication, PMID 32401633.

• Risk Factors for Asymptomatic Diverticulosis

  Data for this analysis came from a prospective study of colonic diverticulosis at the University of North Carolina Hospital in Chapel Hill, North Carolina (NIH R01DK094738). This is a case-control genetic and transcriptomic study to identify the genetic and cellular determinants underlying colonic diverticulosis and the relationship with other gastrointestinal disorders. The study inclusion and exclusion are described below. DNA and RNA sequencing were performed on colonic tissue from 404 patients with (N=172) and without (N=232) diverticulosis. We assessed variation in the transcriptome associated with diverticulosis and integrated this variation with human intestine single-cell RNA-seq data. We integrated our expression quantitative trait loci with GWAS using Mendelian Randomization. A polygenic risk score analysis examined associations between severity of diverticulosis and other gastrointestinal disorders. We identified 38 genes with differential expression and 17 genes with varied transcript usage linked to diverticulosis. Our results suggest tissue remodeling as a primary mechanism for diverticula formation. The presence of diverticulosis was linked to stromal and epithelial cells in the colon including endothelial cells, myofibroblasts, fibroblasts, goblet, tuft, enterocytes, neurons, and glia. MR highlighted five genes including CCN3, CRISPLD2, ENTPD7, PHGR1, and TNFSF13. In diverticulosis cases, ENTPD7 upregulation was confirmed. A greater burden of diverticula was positively correlated with genetic predisposition to diverticulitis. The data related to the study including total RNA-Seq, SNP array and imputed genotypes will be available through dbGaP.

• Establishment of an iPSC Repository Derived from Healthy Volunteers

  Understanding the interaction between genetic variation and epigenetic variation remains a challenge due to the confounding role of environmental factors. We propose that human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are an excellent model to study the relationship between genetic variation and epigenetic variation while controlling for consistent environmental factors. In this study, we have created a comprehensive resource of high-quality genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic data of six iPSC lines and three iPS-derived cell types (NSC, Motor Neuron, Monocyte) from three healthy donors. We found that epigenetic variation is most strongly associated with genetic variation at the iPSC stage, and that relationship weakens as epigenetic variation increases in the differentiated cells. Additionally, cell-type is a stronger source of epigenetic variation than genetic variation, highlighting that humans are far more similar than they are different, regardless of genetic background. Further, we have elucidated a utility of studying epigenetic variation in iPSCs and their derivatives for identifying important loci for GWAS studies and the cell-types in which they may be acting.

• Prevention and Early Treatment of Acute Lung Injury Network - Reevaluation of Systemic Early Neuromuscular Blockade (PETAL ROSE-BioLINCC)

  Data Access NOTE: Please refer to the "Authorized Access" section below regarding accessing data through the BioData Catalyst ecosystem. The data from this accession is not available for download through dbGaP. Data Update: The data available for request now include additional Long Term Outcome data and ancillary data on DNA complexes..Biospecimens: Access to Biospecimens is through the NHLBI Biologic Specimen and Data Repository Information Coordinating Center (BioLINCC). Biospecimens from PETAL ROSE include Plasma, DNA, Whole Blood, and Urine. Please note that use of biospecimens in genetic research is subject to a tiered consent.Objectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of early neuromuscular blockade with concomitant heavy sedation as compared with a strategy of usual care with lighter sedation targets in patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS.Background: It has been well established that the approaches used for the application of mechanical ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can affect survival and outcomes after discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU). A large, multicenter trial conducted a decade before this study reported that the early administration of a 48-hour infusion of neuromuscular blockade in patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS (defined by a ratio of the partial pressure of arterial oxygen [Pao2] to the fraction of inspired oxygen [Fio2] of Participants: There were 1006 participants.Design: PETAL-ROSE was a multicenter, unblinded, randomized trial of patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive 48 hours of continuous neuromuscular blockade with concomitant deep sedation (intervention group) or to receive usual care without routine neuromuscular blockade and with lighter sedation targets (control group).Patients in the intervention group who were not under deep sedation at baseline were deeply sedated within 4 hours after randomization. Subsequently, patients in this group received an intravenous bolus of 15 mg of cisatracurium, followed by a continuous infusion of 37.5 mg per hour for 48 hours. After the 48-hour trial intervention period, decisions regarding further use of neuromuscular blockade, including the choice of agent, were left to the discretion of the treating clinician. Neuromuscular blockade could be stopped early if the patient met the criteria for freedom from mechanical ventilation (Fio2 ≤0.40 and PEEP ≤8 cm of water) for at least 12 hours. All patients were treated with a strategy of low tidal volume ventilation within 2 hours after randomization and a high PEEP strategy for up to 5 days after randomization. Assessors who were unaware of the group assignment interviewed surviving patients or their proxies at 3, 6, and 12 months after randomization. The primary end point was in-hospital death from any cause at 90 days (in-hospital was defined as the time in the trial hospital plus transfer to another hospital, including the time in long-term acute care facilities). Conclusions: After the second interim analysis, the decision to stop the trial for futility was made independently by the data and safety monitoring board.In critically ill patients identified shortly after the diagnosis of moderate-to-severe ARDS, the addition of early continuous neuromuscular blockade with concomitant deep sedation did not result in lower mortality than a usual-care approach to mechanical ventilation that included lighter sedation targets.

• ​​Rare Genetic Variants and Severe COVID-19 in Previously Healthy Admixed Latin American Adults​

  This study investigates the contribution of rare genetic variants to the progression of severe COVID-19 in young and middle-aged adults without pre-existing health conditions. The cohort included 161 Brazilian patients aged 18 to 60 years who were hospitalized in intensive care units due to life-threatening SARS-CoV-2 infection. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed to detect rare variants, followed by a targeted prioritization of loci previously linked to severe COVID-19 outcomes. The analysis identified 104 rare and potentially deleterious variants across 79 genes, with ultra-rare alterations most frequently observed in MUC5AC, IFNA10, ZNF778, and PTOV1. Seventeen novel variants were discovered, several predicted to be pathogenic or indicating strong intolerance to loss-of-function (LoF) mutations. Clinically, carriers of prioritized rare variants showed an increased incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (p = 0.027, OR = 2.59), and those with variants in highly LoF-intolerant genes had a fourfold higher mortality risk (p = 0.0084, OR = 4.04).This represents the first comprehensive genomic analysis of severe COVID-19 in a previously healthy Latin American population, emphasizing the relevance of identifying population-specific rare variants associated with disease severity.

• Identification of a Type 1 Diabetes-Associated T Cell Receptor Repertoire Signature from the Human Peripheral Blood

  Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a T-cell mediated disease with a strong immunogenetic HLA dependence. HLA allelic influence on the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire shapes thymic selection and controls activation of diabetogenic clones, yet remains largely unresolved in T1D. We sequenced the circulating TCRβ chain repertoire from 2250 HLA-typed participants across three cross-sectional cohorts, including T1D individuals, and healthy related and unrelated controls. We found that HLA risk alleles show higher restriction of TCR repertoires in T1D individuals. We leveraged deep learning to identify T1D-associated TCR subsequence motifs that were also observed in independent TCR cohorts residing in pancreas-draining lymph nodes of T1D individuals. Collectively, our data demonstrate T1D-related TCR motif enrichment based on genetic risk, offering a potential metric for autoreactivity and groundwork for TCR-based diagnostics and therapeutics.

• Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (ARIC-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. At present, the ARIC sIRB has determined that ARIC data cannot be shared with for-profit entities.Related Studies Other ARIC data available include: Imaging studies (ARIC-Imaging), Genetics and genomics (ARIC, phs000280.v8.p2), Collaborative Cohort of Cohorts for COVID-19 Research (C4R): ARIC (phs002988.v1.p1), and as a component of the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS-BioLINCC, phs003637.v1.p1). Available Data Data available for request include ARIC v1-v8 examination cycles, collated annual follow-up communication data for contact years 2-32, and follow-up for mortality, heart disease, and stroke events through 2019. Also included are data from ancillary studies. Objectives The objectives of ARIC are to: 1) investigate associations of factors, including those not previously measured in cohort studies, with prevalence of atherosclerosis and incidence of CHD, clinical stroke and other cardiovascular diseases; and 2) measure cardiovascular disease occurrence and trends and relate these to community levels of, and changes in, risk factors, medical care and atherosclerosis. Background At the time of project initiation, the NHLBI had long recognized the need for longitudinal studies to identify the biochemical and physiological markers and specific environmental factors which place individuals at high risk for the major atherosclerosis diseases. The development of reliable ultrasound examination of peripheral arteries enhanced the expected benefit of such studies. Community surveillance planning began for ARIC in response to recommendations of the 1978 NHLBI Workshop on the Decline in CHD Mortality and has been extended in its purpose to evaluate the large geographic differences in U.S. mortality. Participants Black and white men and women, age 45-64 at entry; sample size: 15,792. Design ARIC is a large-scale, long-term prospective study that measures associations of established and suspected coronary heart disease risk factors with both atherosclerosis and new CHD events in men and women from four geographically diverse communities. The project has two components: community surveillance of morbidity and mortality; and repeated examinations of a representative cohort of men and women in each community. The community surveillance involves abstracting hospital records and death certificates and investigating out-of-hospital deaths. The representative cohorts include approximately 4,000 persons from each community. Community surveillance data includes detailed hospital record abstraction, ECG tracings, and event adjudication. Data from out-of-hospital events in the community include physician, informant, and coroner questionnaires as well as death certificate data and event adjudication. Community surveillance ended in 2014.Cohort participants were examined four times at three year intervals between 1987 and 1998, and have been continuously contacted annually to update their medical histories. Atherosclerosis was measured by carotid ultrasonography. Risk factors studied include: blood lipids, lipoprotein cholesterols, and apolipoproteins; plasma hemostatic factors; blood chemistries and hematology; sitting, supine and standing blood pressures; anthropometry; fasting blood glucose and insulin levels; ECG findings; cigarette and alcohol use; physical activity levels; dietary aspects; and family history. Clinic visits were restarted in 2011 with ARIC visit 5.

• Rare and Atypical Diabetes Network (RADIANT)

  The Rare and Atypical DIAbetes NeTwork (RADIANT) is a multicenter prospective cohort study that is dedicated to characterizing (discovering and defining) rare and atypical forms of diabetes. Individuals will be screened for evaluation of suspected atypical diabetes of unknown origin. Among the pool of evaluated individuals, those found to have a known form of diabetes will be excluded from further study. The remaining participants will be prioritized for genetic/genomic analysis and further testing. Primary Objectives: • Identify and enroll individuals and families with undiagnosed rare and atypical forms of diabetes. • Determine the etiologic basis of the metabolic disorder among individuals and families with novel forms of rare and atypical diabetes. • Understand the pathophysiology of individuals and families with novel forms of rare and atypical forms of diabetes. RADIANT has three distinct stages. Stage 1: Participants complete a consent form and a questionnaire to determine the potential for having atypical forms of diabetes. Participants identified as potentially having atypical forms of diabetes based on questionnaire responses are asked to provide a blood sample to test for islet autoantibodies and complete additional questionnaires. The RADIANT Adjudication Committee, which is comprised of a team of experts in diabetes, assesses the data collected in Stage 1, then selects and prioritizes participants to proceed to Stage 2 and 3 for Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and other testing. Stage 2: Genetic screening of participants for known forms of monogenic diabetes. Participants will consent for this stage of the study, complete a family history questionnaire, and have blood collected for DNA and RNA extraction, storage, and analysis. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is performed on all DNA samples. If WGS does not identify a pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant in a known monogenic diabetes gene that is thought to explain the participant's diabetes, RNA Sequencing is performed at Baylor College of Medicine. Stage 3: Deeper phenotyping of all participants who proceed to Stage 3. Participants visit a study clinic to consent and complete Stage 3 procedures which include: an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), additional blood collection, a detailed physical exam, and additional questionnaires. The work of the Discovery Team is expected to be an iterative process analyzing all data collected up to this point in the study to understand the significance of novel variants. In some instances, the Discovery Team may determine that enrollment of the Proband's family members is necessary. Family members with suspected atypical diabetes will follow the same study procedures as described above. Affected and unaffected family members may also be enrolled for Sanger Sequencing or trio WGS. The Discovery Team may also recommend additional optional procedures to better characterize the participant's form of diabetes.Clinical and deeper phenotyping data can be requested from the NIDDK Central Repository (https://doi.org/10.58020/1wxp-dw53).
