Filter by:This is a single institution, prospective study of the whole genome sequencing assay, ChromoSeq. Using prospectively collected patient data, coupled with physician surveys, the investigators seek to determine the feasibility of implementing ChromoSeq in addition to standard genomic testing, for patients with the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
This study aims to isolate CTCs in peripheral venous blood of liver cancer patients by inertial focusing principle-based microfluidic device, determine the relationship between the number of CTCs and patient prognosis and treatment response, detect mutation, copy number variation and mutation load in CTC cells and corresponding tissues using single-cell whole genome sequencing technology, and use bioinformatics analysis of CTC heterogeneity and its relationship with clinical outcome. In addition, the culture of CTCs in vitro was explored by organoid culture or sphere culture in order to obtain CTCs cell lines to reveal the metastatic mechanisms of HCC. The partner of this project is Cellomics International Limited, which could provide Cellomics CTC-100 cell sorter and related consumables for this project. Peripheral venous blood from about 300 patients with initial liver cancer will be collected, and CTCs cells will be sorted in 8ml of each patient and typed according to protein expression. Clinical data, treatment effect and survival time of patients will be collected, and finally the relationship between the number of CTCs and subgroup with treatment response and patient prognosis will be analyzed. Uncovering the genomic characteristics of CTCs of HCC provides a new basis for the precise treatment of HCC. The new diagnostic markers for Hcancer were found by miRNA expression spectrum chip and metabolomic testing.In vitro culture methods and cellular characteristics of HCC circulating tumor cells were preliminarily explored.
This is a single institution, prospective study of the whole genome sequencing assay, ChromoSeq. Using prospectively collected patient data, coupled with physician surveys, the investigators seek to determine the feasibility of implementing ChromoSeq in addition to standard genomic testing, for patients with the diagnoses of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
2,000 infants with signs suggestive of a genetic disorder being treated at a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in which African-American and rural populations are highly represented will be enrolled. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) will be used to identify pathogenic variation in DNA from these infants. Stakeholders, including parents, clinicians, and community leaders, will be engaged to develop culturally adapted educational materials and to equip non-genetics providers to return WGS results. Parents will be provided with these materials through a web portal, the Genome Gateway, and will be placed into one of two arms of a randomized trial to compare the effectiveness technology-assisted WGS result delivery by non-genetics providers relative to result delivery from genetic counselors.
The purpose of the study is to identify the genetic closeness of NTM derived from patients living together and from their surrounding environment and to trace the temporal relationship between them.
Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of consenting participants to whole exome/genome sequencing and its outcomes. It is unknown how best to consent people to this new technology. NO GENOME SEQUENCING IS OFFERED AS PART OF THIS STUDY. This protocol is a companion to other NIH studies that involve genomic sequencing. Participants must be enrolled in a parent NIH study that is collaborating on this consent study to be eligible. Currently this involves only one NIH study. Objectives: - To learn the best way to help participants understand sequencing, so they can decide whether to join studies that use it. Eligibility: - Adults at least 18 years old who are enrolled in a National Institutes of Health (NIH) study that uses WES/WGS. - Adults at least 18 years old whose children are enrolled in an NIH study that uses WES/WGS. Design: - Participants will take part in the study either in person or over the phone. - Participants will review two sequencing consent forms with a genetic counselor. - Before and after meeting with the counselor, participants will answer several questions about sequencing. Each questionnaire will take about 15 minutes. - Six weeks later, participants will answer questions about sequencing. This will take about 15 minutes.
