Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been pivotal to increasing our understanding of intestinal disease. However, the mode by which genetic variation results in phenotypic change remains largely unknown, with many associated polymorphisms likely to modulate gene expression. Analyses of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) to date indicate that as many as 50% of these are tissue specific. Here we report a comprehensive eQTL scan of intestinal tissue. Subjects who had undergone ileal pouch anal anastomosis and closure of ileostomy at least one year prior to recruitment were prospectively enrolled at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. Endoscopically and histologically normal tissue biopsies from the afferent limb of these individuals were obtained and preserved in RNAlater. Total RNA was extracted with the QIAGEN miRNeasy Kit and mRNA analysis was performed on Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays. DNA was obtained from whole-blood samples from the same individuals and genotyped using the Illumina beadchips. Cis- and trans-eQTL analyses were carried out on 173 subjects encompassing the expression levels of 19,047 unique autosomal genes listed in the NCBI database and over 580K dbSNPs (Call Rate ? 95%; MAF ? 5%; Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) ?2 p-values ? 10-6). This work was done in a custom software pipeline and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare expression values across different genotypes. False discovery rate correction for multiple testing was applied at an alpha level of 5%.

Project description:Hibernomas are benign tumors with morphological features resembling brown fat. They consistently display cytogenetic rearrangements, typically translocations, involving chromosome band 11q13. Here we demonstrate that these aberrations are associated with concomitant deletions of AIP and MEN1, tumor suppressor genes that are located 3 Mb apart and that underlie the hereditary syndromes pituitary adenoma predisposition and multiple endocrine neoplasia type I. MEN1 and AIP displayed a low expression in hibernomas whereas the expression of genes up-regulated in brown fat-PPARA, PPARG, PPARGC1A, and UCP1-was high. Thus, loss of MEN1 and AIP is likely to be pathogenetically essential for hibernoma development. Simultaneous loss of two tumor suppressor genes has not previously been shown to result from a neoplasia-associated translocation. Furthermore, in contrast to the prevailing assumption that benign tumors harbor relatively few genetic aberrations, the present analyses demonstrate that a considerable number of chromosome breaks are involved in the pathogenesis of hibernoma. Global copy number analysis was performed using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. Cases 1-14 were hybridized onto Illumina Human1M-Duo v3.0 (and Human CNV370-Quad v3.0) BeadChip (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA), following standard protocols supplied by the manufacturer. Case 15 was analyzed using Illumina Human Omni-Quad BeadChip. Normal blood DNA was analyzed in cases 1, 2, 4 and 6 using the Human CNV370-Quad v3.0 BeadChip. Data analysis was done using the BeadStudio software (Illumina).

Project description:Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal of malignancies and a major health burden. We performed whole genome sequencing and CNV analysis of 100 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas. Chromosomal rearrangements leading to gene disruption were frequent, affecting genes known to be important in pancreatic cancer (TP53, SMAD4, CDKN2A, ARID1A, ROBO2) and novel candidate drivers of pancreatic carcinogenesis (KDM6A and PREX2). Patterns of structural variation classified PDAC into 4 subtypes with potential clinical utility: stable, locally rearranged, scattered and unstable. A significant proportion harboured focal amplifications, many of which contained druggable oncogenes (ERBB2, MET, FGFR1, CDK6, PIK3R3, and PIK3CA), but at low individual frequency. Genomic instability co-segregated with inactivation of DNA maintenance genes (BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2 or RPA1), and a mutational signature of DNA damage repair deficiency. This subgroup was associated with response to platinum-based therapy and defines candidate biomarkers of therapeutic responsiveness. DNA was assayed using Illumina SNP BeadChips as per manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions (Illumina, San Diego CA) (HumanOmni1-Quad or HumanOmni2.5-8 BeadChips). SNP arrays were scanned and data was processed using the Genotyping module (v1.8.4) in Genomestudio v2010.3 (Illumina, San Diego CA) to calculate B-allele frequencies (BAF) and logR values. GenoCN4 and GAP5 were used to call somatic regions of copy number change M-bM-^@M-^S gain, loss or copy neutral LOH. Recurrent regions of copy number change were determined and genes within these regions were extracted using ENSEMBL v70 annotations. Significant regions of gain and loss were identified by GISTIC6.

Project description:The Illumina SNP bead arrays were done for two metachronous tumors and the blood from a given patient. It was used to define copy number abnormalities in order to support subclonal population analysis in this patient. Three samples were analysed concerning two metachronous tumor samples and a blood sample from the same patient.

Project description:Chromosomal instability is central to the process of carcinogenesis. The detection of somatic chromosomal alterations in small premalignant lesions genome-wide remains challenging since sample heterogeneity dilutes the aberrant cell information. We introduced an analytic metric termed "delta-θ", and applied this metric to a titrated cancer cell model using a pair of cancer cell line and matched lymphoblastoid cell line. We examined heterogeneous clinical specimens including bronchial biopsies and brushings with this metric. Distinctive genomic variation were successfully detected across the whole genome in invasive cancer cases (6/6), carcinoma in situ (3/3), and high grade dysplasia (severe or moderate) (3/11). We modeled titration series (100%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.3%, 3.1%, 1.6% and 0% tumor content) mixing the genomic DNA of the cell line pair. We also investigated 30 malignant/premalignant samples from 18 patients with heavy smoking histories (6 invasive lung cancer, 3 carcinoma in situ,15 dysplasia, 3 hyperplasia and 3 normal histology) using Illumina HumanOmni2.5 and Human 660w SNP microarrays. All of them were paired with matched reference blood DNA and analyzed.

Project description:Examination of two DNA methylomes at the most extreme points of their lives to see differences that might contribute to explain the aged phenotype We have performed Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) and methylation array technology of newborn and a centenarian samples to address the Epigenetic drifts in Human aging, which might be an alternative pathway to explain the age-associated alterations. In addition, we used SNP array platforms to exclude an influence of copy number changes with age and SNPs on the identification of differentially methylated regions. This Series represents the methylation array data. The WGBS data are available in GSE31263.
