Leeds Melanoma Cohort (LMC) gene expression study

Project description:Array-based profiling (whole genome DASL HT12.4, Illumina Inc) in over 700 FFPE tumour blocks from the population-based Leeds Melanoma cohort recruited in the North of England, with a long follow up. Data used in tumour immune micro-environment investigation (Nsengimana et al 2018, J Clin Invest doi: 10.1172/JCI95351).

A mechanism for controlled access to GWAS data: experience of the GAIN Data Access Committee.

Project description:The Genetic Association Information Network (GAIN) Data Access Committee was established in June 2007 to provide prompt and fair access to data from six genome-wide association studies through the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP). Of 945 project requests received through 2011, 749 (79%) have been approved; median receipt-to-approval time decreased from 14 days in 2007 to 8 days in 2011. Over half (54%) of the proposed research uses were for GAIN-specific phenotypes; other uses were for method development (26%) and adding controls to other studies (17%). Eight data-management incidents, defined as compromises of any of the data-use conditions, occurred among nine approved users; most were procedural violations, and none violated participant confidentiality. Over 5 years of experience with GAIN data access has demonstrated substantial use of GAIN data by investigators from academic, nonprofit, and for-profit institutions with relatively few and contained policy violations. The availability of GAIN data has allowed for advances in both the understanding of the genetic underpinnings of mental-health disorders, diabetes, and psoriasis and the development and refinement of statistical methods for identifying genetic and environmental factors related to complex common diseases.

25-Hydroxyvitamin D2 /D3 levels and factors associated with systemic inflammation and melanoma survival in the Leeds Melanoma Cohort.

Project description:Lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 /D3 levels at melanoma diagnosis are associated with thicker primaries and poorer survival. We postulated that this might relate to the deleterious effect of systemic inflammation as 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 /D3 levels are inversely associated with levels of C-reactive protein. 2,182 participants in the Leeds Melanoma Cohort (median follow-up 7.98 years) provided data on drug exposure, comorbidities and a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 /D3 level at recruitment. Factors reported to modify systemic inflammation (low vitamin D levels, high body mass index, use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or smoking were tested as predictors of microscopic ulceration (in which primary tumors are inflamed) and melanoma-specific survival (MSS). Ulceration was independently associated with lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 /D3 levels (odds ratio (OR)?= 0.94 per 10 nmol/L, 95% CI 0.88-1.00, p = 0.05) and smoking at diagnosis (OR = 1.47, 95% CI 1.00-2.15, p = 0.04). In analyses adjusted for age and sex, a protective effect was seen of 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 /D3 levels at diagnosis on melanoma death (OR = 0.89 per 10 nmol/L, 95% CI 0.83-0.95, p < 0.001) and smoking increased the risk of death (OR = 1.13 per 10 years, 95% CI 1.05-1.22, p = 0.001). In multivariable analyses (adjusted for tumor thickness) the associations with death from melanoma were low 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 /D3 level at recruitment (<20 nmol/L vs. 20-60 nmol/L, hazard ratio (HR)?= 1.52, 95% CI 0.97-2.40, p = 0.07) and smoking duration at diagnosis (HR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.03-1.20, p = 0.009). The study shows evidence that lower vitamin D levels and smoking are associated with ulceration of primary melanomas and poorer MSS. Further analyses are necessary to understand any biological mechanisms that underlie these findings.
