Cryptic Relatedness in the Singapore Living Biobank Project

ABSTRACT: The Singapore Living Biobank is a collection of healthy population-based Chinese and Malay individuals, for the purpose of phenotype recall study of high-impact variant carriers. These individuals are sampled from two studies: Multi-Ethnic Cohort (MEC), and the Singapore Health 2012 (SH2012). The MEC is a population-based cohort initiated in 2007 to investigate the genetic and lifestyle factors that affect the risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular outcomes in the three ethnic groups (Chinese, Malays, and Indians). The SH2012 study is a population-based cross-sectional survey conducted in Singapore between 2012 and 2013, with over-sampling of Malays and Indians. Participants in MEC and SH2012 completed a similar set of questionnaire components, health examination, and biochemisty panels. Description of the MEC and SH2012 studies can be found at http://blog.nus.edu.sg/sphs/. We generated whole-exome sequencing data and Illumina OmniExpress array genotyping data for 1,299 Chinese and 1,229 Malays from the Singapore Living Biobank. This study includes a subset of 762 individuals that were found to be closely related (≤3rd degree), including 263 Chinese and 499 Malays.

Ethnicity-specific Skeletal Muscle Transcriptional Signatures and Their Relevance to Insulin Resistance in Singapore

Project description:Context: Insulin resistance (IR) and obesity differ between ethnic groups in Singapore, with discordant rates of obesity and IR between several ethnic groups. However, the molecular basis underlying these differences are not clear. Objective: As the skeletal muscle (SM) is metabolically relevant to IR, we investigated molecular pathways in SM that are associated with ethnic differences in IR, obesity and related traits. Design, Setting and Main Outcome measures: We integrated transcriptomic, genomic and phenotypic analyses in 156 healthy subjects representing three major ethnicities in the Singapore Adult Metabolism Study. Patients: The study contains Chinese (n=63), Malay (n=51) and Asian-Indian (n=42) males, aged 21-40 years, without systemic diseases. Results: We found remarkable diversity in the SM transcriptome between the three ethnicities with >8,000 differentially expressed genes (40% of all genes expressed in SM). Comparison with blood transcriptome from a separate Singaporean cohort showed that >95% of SM expression differences between ethnicities were unique to SM. We identified a network of 46 genes that were specifically down-regulated in Malays, suggesting dysregulation of components of cellular respiration in SM of Malay individuals. We also report 28 differentially expressed gene-clusters, four of which were also enriched for genes that were found in GWAS of metabolic traits and disease and correlated with variation in IR, obesity and related traits. Conclusion: We identified extensive gene expression changes in SM between the three Singaporean ethnicities, and report specific genes and molecular pathways that might underpin and explain the differences in IR between these ethnic groups.

A proteomic profiling in Alzheimer's Disease to identify the disregulation of proteins and pathology

Project description:The discovery of blood-based proteomics biomarkers is recently a popular topic in AD studies due to its advantage to relate external environmental factors with the development of AD. In this study, a proteomic study based on Malaysian Chinese and Malay prospects was conducted. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in AD patients and normal controls for Chinese and Malays were identified. The dissimilarities of dysregulated proteins identified in Chinese and Malays samples suggested the differences of pathways involved in this pathological condition for each respective ethnicity: the Chinese group was involved to Aβ/tau protein-related, oxidative stress and inflammation whereas neuroinflammation was related to the Malays. These findings served as a preliminary understanding in the molecular studies of AD especially in multi-ethnic population.

Machine learning unveils an immune-related DNA methylation profile in germline DNA from breast cancer patients

Project description:To identify a set of methylation biomarkers capable of reliably distinguishing breast cancer patients from healthy controls, we performed DNA methylation profiling on germline DNA from peripheral blood samples for a predominantly Asian population comprising 256 ethnic Chinese breast cancer patients recruited from genetic testing clinics and 268 age- and ethnicity-matched non-cancer controls.

Identification of copy number variations by array comparative genomic hybridization in multi-ethnic multiple myeloma patients

Project description:The aim of this study is to identify copy number variations in multiple myeloma patients from the 3 major ethnic groups (Malays, Chinese and Indians) in Malaysia. Identification of common chromosomal aberrations and their degree of penetrance is possible by comparing the microarray data across all the samples under studied. 63 multiple myeloma samples were analyzed. Each sample was compared against normal control (match with patient's race and gender), which was pooled from ten healthy individuals.

Single cell RNA-seq from 10X for a living biobank of ovarian cancer ex vivo models reveals profound mitotic heterogeneity

Project description:We validated fifteen models from “living biobank” to provide models that support interrogation of Chromosome Instability and to evaluate novel therapeutics. Single cell RNA-seq was performed on tumour and stromal cells from 4 patients with ovarian cancer to establish gene expression profile differences between the two cell types and also heterogeneity within the tumour population. The samples used were AS38b, AS59, AS74-1, AS79, they are grown in OCMI media supplemented with 5% hyclone serum (AS38, AS59) or 5% FBS (AS74, AS79) in 5% CO2 and 5% O2. At 37C

Gene expression profiles associated with humoral response to influenza vaccine, Vaxigrip, in young and elderly subjects of Chinese ethnicity in Singapore

Project description:While studying influenza vaccine-induced responses, the elderly are typically considered as a homogeneous population. However, chronological age alone is insufficient in defining immune responsiveness of individuals. In this study, a stratified cohort of elderly (65 year old and above) and young (below 35 year old) individuals was recruited to study the heterogeneity of influenza vaccine-induced responses and identify innate signatures including gene expression profiles defining vaccine immunogenicity. The study was conducted in Singapore, a tropical setting without well-defined influenza seasons.

Expression of genes associated with poor prognosis from hepatocellular carcinoma are increased in peripheral blood from Hmong with active hepatitis B infection

Project description:BACKGORUND & AIMS: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) disproportionally affects Asian Americans due to the high prevalence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and among Asian ethnic groups. The Hmong are diagnosed with HCC at a younger age, with more advanced stage disease, and have the highest cause specific mortality of any Asian ethnic group. Poor survival from HCC has also been associated with differential gene expression in HCC tumors leading us to hypothesize that quantitative traits loci lead to differences in the expression of genes in Hmong which reduce their HCC survival. METHODS: We performed bulk RNA-sequencing of whole blood total RNA from HBV-infected Hmong (n=30) and non-Hmong Asians (Chinese (n=46), and Vietnamese (n=19)). RESULTS: No significant differences between groups were identified in demographic, clinical, or viral factors. A total of 1,491 differentially-expressed transcripts (DETs) were identified across the 3 ethnic groups. When restricted to those with an HBV viral load >2,000 IU/L, 768 DETs were identified and accurately separated individuals by ethincity. Among 273 DETs identified by functional enrichment and pathway analysis and associated with annotated sets of HCC-related genes, 9 were found in 2 gene sets highly expressed in HCC with poor survival. After adjusting for age and sex, expression levels of 4 of these, including CD164, ECT2, HDAC2, and UBE2T, remained significantly elevated in Hmong compared to Chinese and Vietnamese. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest expression quantitative trait loci predispose Hmong to a more agrressive form of HCC and may explain the poor survival among this Asian ethnic group.
