Description: The reference human genome sequence set the stage for studies of genetic variation and its association with human disease, but epigenomic studies lack a similar reference. To address this need, the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Consortium generated the largest collection so far of human epigenomes for primary cells and tissues. Here we describe the integrative analysis of 111 reference human epigenomes generated as part of the programme, profiled for histone modification patterns, DNA accessibility, DNA methylation and RNA expression. We establish global maps of regulatory elements, define regulatory modules of coordinated activity, and their likely activators and repressors. We show that disease- and trait-associated genetic variants are enriched in tissue-specific epigenomic marks, revealing biologically relevant cell types for diverse human traits, and providing a resource for interpreting the molecular basis of human disease. Our results demonstrate the central role of epigenomic information for understanding gene regulation, cellular differentiation and human disease.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4530010/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4530010/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Roadmap Epigenomics Consortium -- Kundaje, Anshul -- Meuleman, Wouter -- Ernst, Jason -- Bilenky, Misha -- Yen, Angela -- Heravi-Moussavi, Alireza -- Kheradpour, Pouya -- Zhang, Zhizhuo -- Wang, Jianrong -- Ziller, Michael J -- Amin, Viren -- Whitaker, John W -- Schultz, Matthew D -- Ward, Lucas D -- Sarkar, Abhishek -- Quon, Gerald -- Sandstrom, Richard S -- Eaton, Matthew L -- Wu, Yi-Chieh -- Pfenning, Andreas R -- Wang, Xinchen -- Claussnitzer, Melina -- Liu, Yaping -- Coarfa, Cristian -- Harris, R Alan -- Shoresh, Noam -- Epstein, Charles B -- Gjoneska, Elizabeta -- Leung, Danny -- Xie, Wei -- Hawkins, R David -- Lister, Ryan -- Hong, Chibo -- Gascard, Philippe -- Mungall, Andrew J -- Moore, Richard -- Chuah, Eric -- Tam, Angela -- Canfield, Theresa K -- Hansen, R Scott -- Kaul, Rajinder -- Sabo, Peter J -- Bansal, Mukul S -- Carles, Annaick -- Dixon, Jesse R -- Farh, Kai-How -- Feizi, Soheil -- Karlic, Rosa -- Kim, Ah-Ram -- Kulkarni, Ashwinikumar -- Li, Daofeng -- Lowdon, Rebecca -- Elliott, GiNell -- Mercer, Tim R -- Neph, Shane J -- Onuchic, Vitor -- Polak, Paz -- Rajagopal, Nisha -- Ray, Pradipta -- Sallari, Richard C -- Siebenthall, Kyle T -- Sinnott-Armstrong, Nicholas A -- Stevens, Michael -- Thurman, Robert E -- Wu, Jie -- Zhang, Bo -- Zhou, Xin -- Beaudet, Arthur E -- Boyer, Laurie A -- De Jager, Philip L -- Farnham, Peggy J -- Fisher, Susan J -- Haussler, David -- Jones, Steven J M -- Li, Wei -- Marra, Marco A -- McManus, Michael T -- Sunyaev, Shamil -- Thomson, James A -- Tlsty, Thea D -- Tsai, Li-Huei -- Wang, Wei -- Waterland, Robert A -- Zhang, Michael Q -- Chadwick, Lisa H -- Bernstein, Bradley E -- Costello, Joseph F -- Ecker, Joseph R -- Hirst, Martin -- Meissner, Alexander -- Milosavljevic, Aleksandar -- Ren, Bing -- Stamatoyannopoulos, John A -- Wang, Ting -- Kellis, Manolis -- 5R24HD000836/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- ES017166/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- F32 HL110473/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- F32HL110473/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K99 HL119617/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K99HL119617/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P01 DA008227/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- P30AG10161/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P50 MH096890/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG015819/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG017917/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 ES024984/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- R01 ES024992/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004037/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG007175/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG007354/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01AG15819/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01AG17917/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01HG004037/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01HG004037-S1/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01NS078839/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- RC1HG005334/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- RF1 AG015819/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- T32 ES007032/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM007198/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM007266/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM081739/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U01 ES017154/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- U01AG46152/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- U01DA025956/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- U01ES017154/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- U01ES017155/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- U01ES017156/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- U01ES017166/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2015 Feb 19;518(7539):317-30. doi: 10.1038/nature14248.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉1] Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 32 Vassar St, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA.

Description: Accurate prediction of the functional effect of genetic variation is critical for clinical genome interpretation. We systematically characterized the transcriptome effects of protein-truncating variants, a class of variants expected to have profound effects on gene function, using data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) and Geuvadis projects. We quantitated tissue-specific and positional effects on nonsense-mediated transcript decay and present an improved predictive model for this decay. We directly measured the effect of variants both proximal and distal to splice junctions. Furthermore, we found that robustness to heterozygous gene inactivation is not due to dosage compensation. Our results illustrate the value of transcriptome data in the functional interpretation of genetic variants.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4537935/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4537935/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rivas, Manuel A -- Pirinen, Matti -- Conrad, Donald F -- Lek, Monkol -- Tsang, Emily K -- Karczewski, Konrad J -- Maller, Julian B -- Kukurba, Kimberly R -- DeLuca, David S -- Fromer, Menachem -- Ferreira, Pedro G -- Smith, Kevin S -- Zhang, Rui -- Zhao, Fengmei -- Banks, Eric -- Poplin, Ryan -- Ruderfer, Douglas M -- Purcell, Shaun M -- Tukiainen, Taru -- Minikel, Eric V -- Stenson, Peter D -- Cooper, David N -- Huang, Katharine H -- Sullivan, Timothy J -- Nedzel, Jared -- GTEx Consortium -- Geuvadis Consortium -- Bustamante, Carlos D -- Li, Jin Billy -- Daly, Mark J -- Guigo, Roderic -- Donnelly, Peter -- Ardlie, Kristin -- Sammeth, Michael -- Dermitzakis, Emmanouil T -- McCarthy, Mark I -- Montgomery, Stephen B -- Lappalainen, Tuuli -- MacArthur, Daniel G -- 090532/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 090532/Z/09/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 095552/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 095552/Z/11/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 098381/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- DA006227/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- HHSN261200800001E/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HHSN261200800001E/PHS HHS/ -- HHSN268201000029C/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HHSN268201000029C/PHS HHS/ -- MH090936/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH090937/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH090941/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH090948/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH090951/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK020595/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM104371/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH090941/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH101810/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH101814/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH101820/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01GM104371/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01MH090941/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01MH101810/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01MH101814/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- U01 HG007593/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U01HG007593/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 May 8;348(6235):666-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1261877.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK. rivas@well.ox.ac.uk tlappalainen@nygenome.org macarthur@atgu.mgh.harvard.edu. ; FInstitute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM), University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland. ; Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO, USA. ; Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, MA, USA.

Description: Human inborn errors of immunity mediated by the cytokines interleukin-17A and interleukin-17F (IL-17A/F) underlie mucocutaneous candidiasis, whereas inborn errors of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) immunity underlie mycobacterial disease. We report the discovery of bi-allelic RORC loss-of-function mutations in seven individuals from three kindreds of different ethnic origins with both candidiasis and mycobacteriosis. The lack of functional RORgamma and RORgammaT isoforms resulted in the absence of IL-17A/F-producing T cells in these individuals, probably accounting for their chronic candidiasis. Unexpectedly, leukocytes from RORgamma- and RORgammaT-deficient individuals also displayed an impaired IFN-gamma response to Mycobacterium. This principally reflected profoundly defective IFN-gamma production by circulating gammadelta T cells and CD4(+)CCR6(+)CXCR3(+) alphabeta T cells. In humans, both mucocutaneous immunity to Candida and systemic immunity to Mycobacterium require RORgamma, RORgammaT, or both.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4668938/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4668938/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Okada, Satoshi -- Markle, Janet G -- Deenick, Elissa K -- Mele, Federico -- Averbuch, Dina -- Lagos, Macarena -- Alzahrani, Mohammed -- Al-Muhsen, Saleh -- Halwani, Rabih -- Ma, Cindy S -- Wong, Natalie -- Soudais, Claire -- Henderson, Lauren A -- Marzouqa, Hiyam -- Shamma, Jamal -- Gonzalez, Marcela -- Martinez-Barricarte, Ruben -- Okada, Chizuru -- Avery, Danielle T -- Latorre, Daniela -- Deswarte, Caroline -- Jabot-Hanin, Fabienne -- Torrado, Egidio -- Fountain, Jeffrey -- Belkadi, Aziz -- Itan, Yuval -- Boisson, Bertrand -- Migaud, Melanie -- Arlehamn, Cecilia S Lindestam -- Sette, Alessandro -- Breton, Sylvain -- McCluskey, James -- Rossjohn, Jamie -- de Villartay, Jean-Pierre -- Moshous, Despina -- Hambleton, Sophie -- Latour, Sylvain -- Arkwright, Peter D -- Picard, Capucine -- Lantz, Olivier -- Engelhard, Dan -- Kobayashi, Masao -- Abel, Laurent -- Cooper, Andrea M -- Notarangelo, Luigi D -- Boisson-Dupuis, Stephanie -- Puel, Anne -- Sallusto, Federica -- Bustamante, Jacinta -- Tangye, Stuart G -- Casanova, Jean-Laurent -- 8UL1TR000043/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- HHSN272200900044C/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HHSN272200900044C/PHS HHS/ -- R37 AI095983/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37AI095983/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T32 AI007512/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Aug 7;349(6248):606-13. doi: 10.1126/science.aaa4282.

Description: How and when the Americas were populated remains contentious. Using ancient and modern genome-wide data, we found that the ancestors of all present-day Native Americans, including Athabascans and Amerindians, entered the Americas as a single migration wave from Siberia no earlier than 23 thousand years ago (ka) and after no more than an 8000-year isolation period in Beringia. After their arrival to the Americas, ancestral Native Americans diversified into two basal genetic branches around 13 ka, one that is now dispersed across North and South America and the other restricted to North America. Subsequent gene flow resulted in some Native Americans sharing ancestry with present-day East Asians (including Siberians) and, more distantly, Australo-Melanesians. Putative "Paleoamerican" relict populations, including the historical Mexican Pericues and South American Fuego-Patagonians, are not directly related to modern Australo-Melanesians as suggested by the Paleoamerican Model.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4733658/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4733658/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Raghavan, Maanasa -- Steinrucken, Matthias -- Harris, Kelley -- Schiffels, Stephan -- Rasmussen, Simon -- DeGiorgio, Michael -- Albrechtsen, Anders -- Valdiosera, Cristina -- Avila-Arcos, Maria C -- Malaspinas, Anna-Sapfo -- Eriksson, Anders -- Moltke, Ida -- Metspalu, Mait -- Homburger, Julian R -- Wall, Jeff -- Cornejo, Omar E -- Moreno-Mayar, J Victor -- Korneliussen, Thorfinn S -- Pierre, Tracey -- Rasmussen, Morten -- Campos, Paula F -- Damgaard, Peter de Barros -- Allentoft, Morten E -- Lindo, John -- Metspalu, Ene -- Rodriguez-Varela, Ricardo -- Mansilla, Josefina -- Henrickson, Celeste -- Seguin-Orlando, Andaine -- Malmstrom, Helena -- Stafford, Thomas Jr -- Shringarpure, Suyash S -- Moreno-Estrada, Andres -- Karmin, Monika -- Tambets, Kristiina -- Bergstrom, Anders -- Xue, Yali -- Warmuth, Vera -- Friend, Andrew D -- Singarayer, Joy -- Valdes, Paul -- Balloux, Francois -- Leboreiro, Ilan -- Vera, Jose Luis -- Rangel-Villalobos, Hector -- Pettener, Davide -- Luiselli, Donata -- Davis, Loren G -- Heyer, Evelyne -- Zollikofer, Christoph P E -- Ponce de Leon, Marcia S -- Smith, Colin I -- Grimes, Vaughan -- Pike, Kelly-Anne -- Deal, Michael -- Fuller, Benjamin T -- Arriaza, Bernardo -- Standen, Vivien -- Luz, Maria F -- Ricaut, Francois -- Guidon, Niede -- Osipova, Ludmila -- Voevoda, Mikhail I -- Posukh, Olga L -- Balanovsky, Oleg -- Lavryashina, Maria -- Bogunov, Yuri -- Khusnutdinova, Elza -- Gubina, Marina -- Balanovska, Elena -- Fedorova, Sardana -- Litvinov, Sergey -- Malyarchuk, Boris -- Derenko, Miroslava -- Mosher, M J -- Archer, David -- Cybulski, Jerome -- Petzelt, Barbara -- Mitchell, Joycelynn -- Worl, Rosita -- Norman, Paul J -- Parham, Peter -- Kemp, Brian M -- Kivisild, Toomas -- Tyler-Smith, Chris -- Sandhu, Manjinder S -- Crawford, Michael -- Villems, Richard -- Smith, David Glenn -- Waters, Michael R -- Goebel, Ted -- Johnson, John R -- Malhi, Ripan S -- Jakobsson, Mattias -- Meltzer, David J -- Manica, Andrea -- Durbin, Richard -- Bustamante, Carlos D -- Song, Yun S -- Nielsen, Rasmus -- Willerslev, Eske -- 098051/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 261213/European Research Council/International -- 2R01HG003229-09/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- BB/H005854/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- R01-AI17892/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01-GM094402/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Aug 21;349(6250):aab3884. doi: 10.1126/science.aab3884.

Description: Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a frequent disease in which the genetic alterations determining the clinicobiological behaviour are not fully understood. Here we describe a comprehensive evaluation of the genomic landscape of 452 CLL cases and 54 patients with monoclonal B-lymphocytosis, a precursor disorder. We extend the number of CLL driver alterations, including changes in ZNF292, ZMYM3, ARID1A and PTPN11. We also identify novel recurrent mutations in non-coding regions, including the 3' region of NOTCH1, which cause aberrant splicing events, increase NOTCH1 activity and result in a more aggressive disease. In addition, mutations in an enhancer located on chromosome 9p13 result in reduced expression of the B-cell-specific transcription factor PAX5. The accumulative number of driver alterations (0 to 〉/=4) discriminated between patients with differences in clinical behaviour. This study provides an integrated portrait of the CLL genomic landscape, identifies new recurrent driver mutations of the disease, and suggests clinical interventions that may improve the management of this neoplasia.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Puente, Xose S -- Bea, Silvia -- Valdes-Mas, Rafael -- Villamor, Neus -- Gutierrez-Abril, Jesus -- Martin-Subero, Jose I -- Munar, Marta -- Rubio-Perez, Carlota -- Jares, Pedro -- Aymerich, Marta -- Baumann, Tycho -- Beekman, Renee -- Belver, Laura -- Carrio, Anna -- Castellano, Giancarlo -- Clot, Guillem -- Colado, Enrique -- Colomer, Dolors -- Costa, Dolors -- Delgado, Julio -- Enjuanes, Anna -- Estivill, Xavier -- Ferrando, Adolfo A -- Gelpi, Josep L -- Gonzalez, Blanca -- Gonzalez, Santiago -- Gonzalez, Marcos -- Gut, Marta -- Hernandez-Rivas, Jesus M -- Lopez-Guerra, Monica -- Martin-Garcia, David -- Navarro, Alba -- Nicolas, Pilar -- Orozco, Modesto -- Payer, Angel R -- Pinyol, Magda -- Pisano, David G -- Puente, Diana A -- Queiros, Ana C -- Quesada, Victor -- Romeo-Casabona, Carlos M -- Royo, Cristina -- Royo, Romina -- Rozman, Maria -- Russinol, Nuria -- Salaverria, Itziar -- Stamatopoulos, Kostas -- Stunnenberg, Hendrik G -- Tamborero, David -- Terol, Maria J -- Valencia, Alfonso -- Lopez-Bigas, Nuria -- Torrents, David -- Gut, Ivo -- Lopez-Guillermo, Armando -- Lopez-Otin, Carlos -- Campo, Elias -- England -- Nature. 2015 Oct 22;526(7574):519-24. doi: 10.1038/nature14666.

Description: Patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) have experienced little improvement in overall survival, and standard treatment has not advanced beyond platinum-based combination chemotherapy, during the past 30 years. To understand the drivers of clinical phenotypes better, here we use whole-genome sequencing of tumour and germline DNA samples from 92 patients with primary refractory, resistant, sensitive and matched acquired resistant disease. We show that gene breakage commonly inactivates the tumour suppressors RB1, NF1, RAD51B and PTEN in HGSC, and contributes to acquired chemotherapy resistance. CCNE1 amplification was common in primary resistant and refractory disease. We observed several molecular events associated with acquired resistance, including multiple independent reversions of germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations in individual patients, loss of BRCA1 promoter methylation, an alteration in molecular subtype, and recurrent promoter fusion associated with overexpression of the drug efflux pump MDR1.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Patch, Ann-Marie -- Christie, Elizabeth L -- Etemadmoghadam, Dariush -- Garsed, Dale W -- George, Joshy -- Fereday, Sian -- Nones, Katia -- Cowin, Prue -- Alsop, Kathryn -- Bailey, Peter J -- Kassahn, Karin S -- Newell, Felicity -- Quinn, Michael C J -- Kazakoff, Stephen -- Quek, Kelly -- Wilhelm-Benartzi, Charlotte -- Curry, Ed -- Leong, Huei San -- Australian Ovarian Cancer Study Group -- Hamilton, Anne -- Mileshkin, Linda -- Au-Yeung, George -- Kennedy, Catherine -- Hung, Jillian -- Chiew, Yoke-Eng -- Harnett, Paul -- Friedlander, Michael -- Quinn, Michael -- Pyman, Jan -- Cordner, Stephen -- O'Brien, Patricia -- Leditschke, Jodie -- Young, Greg -- Strachan, Kate -- Waring, Paul -- Azar, Walid -- Mitchell, Chris -- Traficante, Nadia -- Hendley, Joy -- Thorne, Heather -- Shackleton, Mark -- Miller, David K -- Arnau, Gisela Mir -- Tothill, Richard W -- Holloway, Timothy P -- Semple, Timothy -- Harliwong, Ivon -- Nourse, Craig -- Nourbakhsh, Ehsan -- Manning, Suzanne -- Idrisoglu, Senel -- Bruxner, Timothy J C -- Christ, Angelika N -- Poudel, Barsha -- Holmes, Oliver -- Anderson, Matthew -- Leonard, Conrad -- Lonie, Andrew -- Hall, Nathan -- Wood, Scott -- Taylor, Darrin F -- Xu, Qinying -- Fink, J Lynn -- Waddell, Nick -- Drapkin, Ronny -- Stronach, Euan -- Gabra, Hani -- Brown, Robert -- Jewell, Andrea -- Nagaraj, Shivashankar H -- Markham, Emma -- Wilson, Peter J -- Ellul, Jason -- McNally, Orla -- Doyle, Maria A -- Vedururu, Ravikiran -- Stewart, Collin -- Lengyel, Ernst -- Pearson, John V -- Waddell, Nicola -- deFazio, Anna -- Grimmond, Sean M -- Bowtell, David D L -- 13086/Cancer Research UK/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2015 May 28;521(7553):489-94. doi: 10.1038/nature14410.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉1] Queensland Centre for Medical Genomics, Institute for Molecular Bioscience, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland 4067, Australia [2] QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Brisbane, Queensland 4006, Australia. ;

Description: Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal of malignancies and a major health burden. We performed whole-genome sequencing and copy number variation (CNV) analysis of 100 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs). Chromosomal rearrangements leading to gene disruption were prevalent, affecting genes known to be important in pancreatic cancer (TP53, SMAD4, CDKN2A, ARID1A and ROBO2) and new candidate drivers of pancreatic carcinogenesis (KDM6A and PREX2). Patterns of structural variation (variation in chromosomal structure) classified PDACs into 4 subtypes with potential clinical utility: the subtypes were termed 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 patient prevalence. Genomic instability co-segregated with inactivation of DNA maintenance genes (BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2) and a mutational signature of DNA damage repair deficiency. Of 8 patients who received platinum therapy, 4 of 5 individuals with these measures of defective DNA maintenance responded.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4523082/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4523082/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Waddell, Nicola -- Pajic, Marina -- Patch, Ann-Marie -- Chang, David K -- Kassahn, Karin S -- Bailey, Peter -- Johns, Amber L -- Miller, David -- Nones, Katia -- Quek, Kelly -- Quinn, Michael C J -- Robertson, Alan J -- Fadlullah, Muhammad Z H -- Bruxner, Tim J C -- Christ, Angelika N -- Harliwong, Ivon -- Idrisoglu, Senel -- Manning, Suzanne -- Nourse, Craig -- Nourbakhsh, Ehsan -- Wani, Shivangi -- Wilson, Peter J -- Markham, Emma -- Cloonan, Nicole -- Anderson, Matthew J -- Fink, J Lynn -- Holmes, Oliver -- Kazakoff, Stephen H -- Leonard, Conrad -- Newell, Felicity -- Poudel, Barsha -- Song, Sarah -- Taylor, Darrin -- Waddell, Nick -- Wood, Scott -- Xu, Qinying -- Wu, Jianmin -- Pinese, Mark -- Cowley, Mark J -- Lee, Hong C -- Jones, Marc D -- Nagrial, Adnan M -- Humphris, Jeremy -- Chantrill, Lorraine A -- Chin, Venessa -- Steinmann, Angela M -- Mawson, Amanda -- Humphrey, Emily S -- Colvin, Emily K -- Chou, Angela -- Scarlett, Christopher J -- Pinho, Andreia V -- Giry-Laterriere, Marc -- Rooman, Ilse -- Samra, Jaswinder S -- Kench, James G -- Pettitt, Jessica A -- Merrett, Neil D -- Toon, Christopher -- Epari, Krishna -- Nguyen, Nam Q -- Barbour, Andrew -- Zeps, Nikolajs -- Jamieson, Nigel B -- Graham, Janet S -- Niclou, Simone P -- Bjerkvig, Rolf -- Grutzmann, Robert -- Aust, Daniela -- Hruban, Ralph H -- Maitra, Anirban -- Iacobuzio-Donahue, Christine A -- Wolfgang, Christopher L -- Morgan, Richard A -- Lawlor, Rita T -- Corbo, Vincenzo -- Bassi, Claudio -- Falconi, Massimo -- Zamboni, Giuseppe -- Tortora, Giampaolo -- Tempero, Margaret A -- Australian Pancreatic Cancer Genome Initiative -- Gill, Anthony J -- Eshleman, James R -- Pilarsky, Christian -- Scarpa, Aldo -- Musgrove, Elizabeth A -- Pearson, John V -- Biankin, Andrew V -- Grimmond, Sean M -- 103721/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- C29717/A17263/Cancer Research UK/United Kingdom -- C596/A18076/Cancer Research UK/United Kingdom -- P30 CA006973/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA016672/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50 CA062924/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50 CA62924/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2015 Feb 26;518(7540):495-501. doi: 10.1038/nature14169.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉1] Queensland Centre for Medical Genomics, Institute for Molecular Bioscience, The University of Queensland, St Lucia, Brisbane, Queensland 4072, Australia [2] QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Herston Road, Brisbane 4006, Australia. ;

Description: Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is the major receptor for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C). In humans, high amounts of HDL-C in plasma are associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Mice that have depleted Scarb1 (SR-BI knockout mice) have markedly elevated HDL-C levels but, paradoxically, increased atherosclerosis. The impact of SR-BI on HDL metabolism and CHD risk in humans remains unclear. Through targeted sequencing of coding regions of lipid-modifying genes in 328 individuals with extremely high plasma HDL-C levels, we identified a homozygote for a loss-of-function variant, in which leucine replaces proline 376 (P376L), in SCARB1, the gene encoding SR-BI. The P376L variant impairs posttranslational processing of SR-BI and abrogates selective HDL cholesterol uptake in transfected cells, in hepatocyte-like cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells from the homozygous subject, and in mice. Large population-based studies revealed that subjects who are heterozygous carriers of the P376L variant have significantly increased levels of plasma HDL-C. P376L carriers have a profound HDL-related phenotype and an increased risk of CHD (odds ratio = 1.79, which is statistically significant).〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zanoni, Paolo -- Khetarpal, Sumeet A -- Larach, Daniel B -- Hancock-Cerutti, William F -- Millar, John S -- Cuchel, Marina -- DerOhannessian, Stephanie -- Kontush, Anatol -- Surendran, Praveen -- Saleheen, Danish -- Trompet, Stella -- Jukema, J Wouter -- De Craen, Anton -- Deloukas, Panos -- Sattar, Naveed -- Ford, Ian -- Packard, Chris -- Majumder, Abdullah al Shafi -- Alam, Dewan S -- Di Angelantonio, Emanuele -- Abecasis, Goncalo -- Chowdhury, Rajiv -- Erdmann, Jeanette -- Nordestgaard, Borge G -- Nielsen, Sune F -- Tybjaerg-Hansen, Anne -- Schmidt, Ruth Frikke -- Kuulasmaa, Kari -- Liu, Dajiang J -- Perola, Markus -- Blankenberg, Stefan -- Salomaa, Veikko -- Mannisto, Satu -- Amouyel, Philippe -- Arveiler, Dominique -- Ferrieres, Jean -- Muller-Nurasyid, Martina -- Ferrario, Marco -- Kee, Frank -- Willer, Cristen J -- Samani, Nilesh -- Schunkert, Heribert -- Butterworth, Adam S -- Howson, Joanna M M -- Peloso, Gina M -- Stitziel, Nathan O -- Danesh, John -- Kathiresan, Sekar -- Rader, Daniel J -- CHD Exome+ Consortium -- CARDIoGRAM Exome Consortium -- Global Lipids Genetics Consortium -- R01 DK089256/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL117078/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- TL1 RR024133/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- TL1R000138/PHS HHS/ -- TL1RR024133/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2016 Mar 11;351(6278):1166-71. doi: 10.1126/science.aad3517.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Departments of Genetics and Medicine, Division of Translational Medicine and Human Genetics, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA. ; Departments of Genetics and Medicine, Division of Translational Medicine and Human Genetics, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA.
