View SamplesAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a common pediatric cognitive disorder with high heritability. Yet no single genetic variant has accounted for more than a small fraction of cases. We sought to determine whether we could classify patients as having ASD vs. controls solely based on a multi-gene expression profiling of their peripheral blood cells.

View SamplesWe report a mouse model that recapitulates expression of the ETV6-NTRK3 (EN) fusion oncoprotein, the product of the t(12;15)(p13;q25) translocation characteristic of human secretory breast carcinoma. Activation of EN expression in mammary tissues by Whey acidic protein (Wap) promoter-driven Cre leads to fully penetrant, multifocal malignant breast cancer with short latency. We provide genetic evidence that committed bipotent or CD61+ luminal alveolar progenitors, are targets of tumorigenesis. Furthermore, EN transforms these otherwise transient progenitors through activation of the AP1 complex. Given increasing relevance of chromosomal translocations in epithelial cancers, such mice serve as a paradigm for the study of their genetic pathogenesis and cellular origins, and generation of novel preclinical models.

View SamplesFacioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder caused by contractions of repetitive elements within the macrosatellite D4Z4 on chromosome 4q35. In order to develop mRNA-based biomarkers of affected muscles, we used GeneChip Gene 1.0 ST arrays for global analysis of gene expression in muscle biopsy specimens obtained from FSHD subjects and their unaffected first degree relatives.

View SamplesWe decompose the genome-wide expression patterns in 38 embryonic human lung (53-154 days post conception/dpc) into their independent, dominant directions of transcriptomic sample variation in order togain global insight of the developing human lung transcriptome.The characteristic genes and their corresponding bioontologic attribute profile for the latter were identified. We noted the overrepresentation of lung specific attributes (e.g., surfactant proteins) traditionally associated with later developmental stages, and highly ranked attributes (e.g., chemokineimmunologic processes) not previously reported nor immediately apparent in an early lung development context. We defined the 3,223gene union of the characteristic genes of the 3 most dominant sources of variation as the developing lung characteristic subtranscriptome (DLCS). It may be regarded as the minimal gene set describing the essential biology of this process. The developing lung series in this transcriptomic variation perspectiveform a contiguous trajectory with critical time points that both correlate with the 2 traditional morphologic stages overlapping -154 dpc and suggest the existence of 2 novel phases within the pseudoglandular stage. To demonstrate that this characterization is robust, we showed that the model could be used to estimate the gestational age of independent human lung tissue samples with a median absolute error of 5 days, based on the DLCS of their lung profile alone. Repeating this procedure on the homologous transcriptome profiles of developing mouse lung 1419 dpc, we were able to recover their correct developmental chronology.
