Item Author Correction: Elucidating causative gene variants in hereditary Parkinson’s disease in the Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program (GP2)(Springer Nature, 2023-09-13) Lange, Lara M.; Avenali, Micol; Ellis, Melina; Illarionova, Anastasia; Keller Sarmiento, Ignacio J.; Tan, Ai-Huey; Madoev, Harutyun; Galandra, Caterina; Junker, Johanna; Roopnarain, Karisha; Solle, Justin; Wegel, Claire; Fang, Zih-Hua; Heutink, Peter; Kumar, Kishore R.; Lim, Shen-Yang; Valente, Enza Maria; Nalls, Mike; Blauwendraat, Cornelis; Singleton, Andrew; Mencacci, Niccolo; Lohmann, Katja; Klein, Christine; Global Parkinson’s Genetic Program (GP2); Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of MedicineItem Elucidating causative gene variants in hereditary Parkinson's disease in the Global Parkinson's Genetics Program (GP2)(Springer Nature, 2023-06-27) Lange, Lara M.; Avenali, Micol; Ellis, Melina; Illarionova, Anastasia; Keller Sarmiento, Ignacio J.; Tan, Ai-Huey; Madoev, Harutyun; Galandra, Caterina; Junker, Johanna; Roopnarain, Karisha; Solle, Justin; Wegel, Claire; Fang, Zih-Hua; Heutink, Peter; Kumar, Kishore R.; Lim, Shen-Yang; Valente, Enza Maria; Nalls, Mike; Blauwendraat, Cornelis; Singleton, Andrew; Mencacci, Niccolo; Lohmann, Katja; Klein, Christine; Global Parkinson’s Genetic Program (GP2); Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of MedicineThe Monogenic Network of the Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program (GP2) aims to create an efficient infrastructure to accelerate the identification of novel genetic causes of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and to improve our understanding of already identified genetic causes, such as reduced penetrance and variable clinical expressivity of known disease-causing variants. We aim to perform short- and long-read whole-genome sequencing for up to 10,000 patients with parkinsonism. Important features of this project are global involvement and focusing on historically underrepresented populations.Item Identification of a Genomic Region Between SLC29A1 and HSP90AB1 Associated With Risk of Bevacizumab-Induced Hypertension: CALGB 80405 (Alliance)(American Association for Cancer Research, 2019-10-01) Li, Megan; Mulkey, Flora; Jiang, Chen; O’Neil, Bert H.; Schneider, Bryan P.; Shen, Fei; Friedman, Paula N.; Momozawa, Yukihide; Kubo, Michiaki; Niedzwiecki, Donna; Hochster, Howard S.; Lenz, Heinz-Josef; Atkins, James N.; Rugo, Hope S.; Halabi, Susan; Kelly, William Kevin; McLeod, Howard L.; Innocenti, Federico; Ratain, Mark J.; Venook, Alan P.; Owzar, Kouros; Kroetz, Deanna L.; Medicine, School of MedicinePurpose: Bevacizumab is a VEGF-specific angiogenesis inhibitor indicated as an adjunct to chemotherapy for the treatment of multiple cancers. Hypertension is commonly observed during bevacizumab treatment, and high-grade toxicity can limit therapy or lead to cardiovascular complications. The factors that contribute to interindividual variability in blood pressure rise during bevacizumab treatment are not well understood.Experimental Design: To identify genomic regions associated with bevacizumab-induced hypertension risk, sequencing of candidate genes and flanking regulatory regions was performed on 61 patients treated with bevacizumab (19 cases developed early-onset grade 3 hypertension and 42 controls had no reported hypertension in the first six cycles of treatment). SNP-based tests for common variant associations and gene-based tests for rare variant associations were performed in 174 candidate genes.Results: Four common variants in independent linkage disequilibrium blocks between SLC29A1 and HSP90AB1 were among the top associations. Validation in larger bevacizumab-treated cohorts supported association between rs9381299 with early grade 3+ hypertension (P = 0.01; OR, 2.4) and systolic blood pressure >180 mm Hg (P = 0.02; OR, 2.1). rs834576 was associated with early grade 3+ hypertension in CALGB 40502 (P = 0.03; OR, 2.9). These SNP regions are enriched for regulatory elements that may potentially increase gene expression. In vitro overexpression of SLC29A1 in human endothelial cells disrupted adenosine signaling and reduced nitric oxide levels that were further lowered upon bevacizumab exposure.Conclusions: The genomic region between SLC29A1 and HSP90AB1 and its role in regulating adenosine signaling are key targets for further investigation into the pathogenesis of bevacizumab-induced hypertension.Item Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus – The need for global proactive surveillance, sequencing and modeling(Elsevier, 2021) Al-Tawfiq, Jaffar A.; Petersen, Eskild; Memish, Ziad A.; Perlman, Stanley; Zumla, Alimuddin; Medicine, School of MedicineItem Pathogenic variants in the Longitudinal Early-onset Alzheimer's Disease Study cohort(Wiley, 2023) Nudelman, Kelly N. H.; Jackson, Trever; Rumbaugh, Malia; Eloyan, Ani; Abreu, Marco; Dage, Jeffrey L.; Snoddy, Casey; Faber, Kelley M.; Foroud, Tatiana; Hammers, Dustin B.; DIAN/DIAN-TU Clinical/Genetics Committee; Taurone, Alexander; Thangarajah, Maryanne; Aisen, Paul; Beckett, Laurel; Kramer, Joel; Koeppe, Robert; Kukull, Walter A.; Murray, Melissa E.; Toga, Arthur W.; Vemuri, Prashanthi; Atri, Alireza; Day, Gregory S.; Duara, Ranjan; Graff-Radford, Neill R.; Honig, Lawrence S.; Jones, David T.; Masdeu, Joseph C.; Mendez, Mario; Musiek, Erik; Onyike, Chiadi U.; Riddle, Meghan; Rogalski, Emily; Salloway, Stephen; Sha, Sharon J.; Turner, R. Scott; Wingo, Thomas S.; Wolk, David A.; Carrillo, Maria C.; Dickerson, Bradford C.; Rabinovici, Gil D.; Apostolova, Liana G.; LEADS Consortium; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of MedicineIntroduction: One goal of the Longitudinal Early-onset Alzheimer's Disease Study (LEADS) is to investigate the genetic etiology of early onset (40-64 years) cognitive impairment. Toward this goal, LEADS participants are screened for known pathogenic variants. Methods: LEADS amyloid-positive early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) or negative early-onset non-AD (EOnonAD) cases were whole exome sequenced (N = 299). Pathogenic variant frequency in APP, PSEN1, PSEN2, GRN, MAPT, and C9ORF72 was assessed for EOAD and EOnonAD. Gene burden testing was performed in cases compared to similar-age cognitively normal controls in the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) study. Results: Previously reported pathogenic variants in the six genes were identified in 1.35% of EOAD (3/223) and 6.58% of EOnonAD (5/76). No genes showed enrichment for carriers of rare functional variants in LEADS cases. Discussion: Results suggest that LEADS is enriched for novel genetic causative variants, as previously reported variants are not observed in most cases. Highlights: Sequencing identified eight cognitively impaired pathogenic variant carriers. Pathogenic variants were identified in PSEN1, GRN, MAPT, and C9ORF72. Rare variants were not enriched in APP, PSEN1/2, GRN, and MAPT. The Longitudinal Early-onset Alzheimer's Disease Study (LEADS) is a key resource for early-onset Alzheimer's genetic research.Item Protocol for genome-scale in vivo CRISPR screening to study protection of beta cells under autoimmunity in a type 1 diabetes mouse model(Elsevier, 2023) Li, Jian; Lee, Yu-Chi; Iessi, Isabela L.; Wu, Chialing; Yi, Peng; Cai, Erica P.; Medicine, School of MedicineAutoimmunity-induced pancreatic beta cell failure is the main characteristic of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Here, we describe a protocol for genome-scale in vivo CRISPR-Cas9 screening for use in a mouse model of T1D. Using a non-obese-diabetic-derived mouse beta cell line, NIT-1, and a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout library (GeCKO-v2), we describe how to identify genes that confer resistance to autoimmune killing. This protocol can be applied in other mouse models of autoimmunity. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Cai et al. (2020).Item Redetection of human papillomavirus type 16 infections of the cervix in mid-adult life(Elsevier, 2018-06) Ermel, Aaron; Shew, Marcia L.; Imburgia, Teresa M.; Brown, Matt; Qadadri, Brahim; Tong, Yan; Brown, Darron R.; Medicine, School of MedicinePURPOSE: To assess whether HPV 16 originally detected in adolescent women can be redetected in adulthood. METHODS: A convenience sample of 27 adult women with known HPV 16 detection during adolescence was assessed for HPV 16 redetection. A comparison of the long control region (LCR) DNA sequences was performed on some of the original and redetected HPV 16 isolates. RESULTS: Median age at reenrollment was 27.5 years (interquartile range of 26.7-29.6). Reenrollment occurred six years on average after the original HPV 16 detection. Eleven of 27 women had HPV 16 redetected. Some of these HPV 16 infections had apparently cleared during adolescence. LCR sequencing was successful in paired isolates from 6 women; in 5 of 6 cases the redetected HPV 16 isolates were identical to those detected during adolescence, CONCLUSIONS: HPV 16 may be episodically detected in young women, even over long time periods. HPV 16 redetection with identical LCR sequences suggests low-level persistent infection rather than true clearance, although newly acquired infection with an identical HPV 16 isolate cannot be excluded. However, this study suggests that a new HPV 16-positive test in a clinical setting may not indicate a new infection.Item Transcriptome Profiling Reveals Matrisome Alteration as a Key Feature of Ovarian Cancer Progression(MDPI, 2019-10-09) Mitra, Sumegha; Tiwari, Kartikeya; Podicheti, Ram; Pandhiri, Taruni; Rusch, Douglas B.; Bonetto, Andrea; Zhang, Chi; Mitra, Anirban K.; Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of MedicineBACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. There is a lack of comprehensive investigation of disease initiation and progression, including gene expression changes during early metastatic colonization. METHODS: RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was done with matched primary tumors and fallopian tubes (n = 8 pairs) as well as matched metastatic and primary tumors (n = 11 pairs) from ovarian cancer patients. Since these are end point analyses, it was combined with RNA-seq using high-grade serous ovarian cancer cells seeded on an organotypic three-dimensional (3D) culture model of the omentum, mimicking early metastasis. This comprehensive approach revealed key changes in gene expression occurring in ovarian cancer initiation and metastasis, including early metastatic colonization. RESULTS: 2987 genes were significantly deregulated in primary tumors compared to fallopian tubes, 845 genes were differentially expressed in metastasis compared to primary tumors and 304 genes were common to both. An assessment of patient metastasis and 3D omental culture model of early metastatic colonization revealed 144 common genes that were altered during early colonization and remain deregulated even in the fully developed metastasis. Deregulation of the matrisome was a key process in early and late metastasis. CONCLUSION: These findings will help in understanding the key pathways involved in ovarian cancer progression and eventually targeting those pathways for therapeutic interventions.Item Whole Genome Sequence Association Analysis of Fasting Glucose and Fasting Insulin Levels in Diverse Cohorts from the NHLBI TOPMed Program(Springer Nature, 2022-07-28) DiCorpo, Daniel; Gaynor, Sheila M.; Russell, Emily M.; Westerman, Kenneth E.; Raffield, Laura M.; Majarian, Timothy D.; Wu, Peitao; Sarnowski, Chloé; Highland, Heather M.; Jackson, Anne; Hasbani, Natalie R.; de Vries, Paul S.; Brody, Jennifer A.; Hidalgo, Bertha; Guo, Xiuqing; Perry, James A.; O’Connell, Jeffrey R.; Lent, Samantha; Montasser, May E.; Cade, Brian E.; Jain, Deepti; Wang, Heming; D’Oliveira Albanus, Ricardo; Varshney, Arushi; Yanek, Lisa R.; Lange, Leslie; Palmer, Nicholette D.; Almeida, Marcio; Peralta, Juan M.; Aslibekyan, Stella; Baldridge, Abigail S.; Bertoni, Alain G.; Bielak, Lawrence F.; Chen, Chung-Shiuan; Chen, Yii-Der Ida; Choi, Won Jung; Goodarzi, Mark O.; Floyd, James S.; Irvin, Marguerite R.; Kalyani, Rita R.; Kelly, Tanika N.; Lee, Seonwook; Liu, Ching-Ti; Loesch, Douglas; Manson, JoAnn E.; Minster, Ryan L.; Naseri, Take; Pankow, James S.; Rasmussen-Torvik, Laura J.; Reiner, Alexander P.; Reupena, Muagututi’a Sefuiva; Selvin, Elizabeth; Smith, Jennifer A.; Weeks, Daniel E.; Xu, Huichun; Yao, Jie; Zhao, Wei; Parker, Stephen; Alonso, Alvaro; Arnett, Donna K.; Blangero, John; Boerwinkle, Eric; Correa, Adolfo; Cupples, L.

We extended this work with high-coverage whole genome sequencing analyses from fifteen cohorts in NHLBI's Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program. Over 23,000 non-diabetic individuals from five race-ethnicities/populations (African, Asian, European, Hispanic and Samoan) were included. Eight variants were significantly associated with FG or FI across previously identified regions MTNR1B, G6PC2, GCK, GCKR and FOXA2. We additionally characterize suggestive associations with FG or FI near previously identified SLC30A8, TCF7L2, and ADCY5 regions as well as APOB, PTPRT, and ROBO1. Functional annotation resources including the Diabetes Epigenome Atlas were compiled for each signal (chromatin states, annotation principal components, and others) to elucidate variant-to-function hypotheses. We provide a catalog of nucleotide-resolution genomic variation spanning intergenic and intronic regions creating a foundation for future sequencing-based investigations of glycemic traits.
