Abstract
BACKGROUND Multicompartmental lesions of the anterior craniovertebral junction require aggressive management. However, the lesions can be difficult to reach, and the surgical procedure is difficult to understand. The aim of this study was to create a procedural, stepwise microsurgical educational resource for junior trainees to learn the surgical anatomy of the extreme lateral transodontoid approach (ELTOA). METHODS Ten formalin-fixed, latex-injected cadaveric heads were dissected under an operative microscope. Dissections were performed under the supervision of a skull base fellowship-trained neurosurgeon who has advanced skull base experience. Key steps of the procedure were documented with a professional camera and a high-definition video system. A relevant clinical case example was reviewed to highlight the principles of the selected approach and its application. The clinical case example also describes a rare complication: a pseudoaneurysm of the vertebral artery. RESULTS Key steps of the ELTOA include patient positioning, skin incision, superficial and deep muscle dissection, vertebral artery dissection and transposition, craniotomy, clivus drilling, odontoidectomy, and final extradural and intradural exposure. CONCLUSIONS The ELTOA is a challenging approach, but it allows for significant access to the anterior craniovertebral junction, which increases the likelihood of gross total lesion resection. Given the complexity of the approach, substantial training in the dissection laboratory is required to develop the necessary anatomic knowledge and to minimize approach-related morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-grade gliomas have a poor prognosis and do not respond well to treatment. Effective cancer immune responses depend on functional immune cells, which are typically absent from the brain. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and activity of two adenoviral vectors expressing HSV1-TK (Ad-hCMV-TK) and Flt3L (Ad-hCMV-Flt3L) in patients with high-grade glioma. METHODS In this dose-finding, first-in-human trial, treatment-naive adults aged 18-75 years with newly identified high-grade glioma that was evaluated per immunotherapy response assessment in neuro-oncology criteria, and a Karnofsky Performance Status score of 70 or more, underwent maximal safe resection followed by injections of adenoviral vectors expressing HSV1-TK and Flt3L into the tumour bed. The study was conducted at the University of Michigan Medical School, Michigan Medicine (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). The study included six escalating doses of viral particles with starting doses of 1×1010 Ad-hCMV-TK viral particles and 1×109 Ad-hCMV-Flt3L viral particles (cohort A), and then 1×1011 Ad-hCMV-TK viral particles and 1×109 Ad-hCMV-Flt3L viral particles (cohort B), 1×1010 Ad-hCMV-TK viral particles and 1×1010 Ad-hCMV-Flt3L viral particles (cohort C), 1×1011 Ad-hCMV-TK viral particles and 1×1010 Ad-hCMV-Flt3L viral particles (cohort D), 1×1010 Ad-hCMV-TK viral particles and 1×1011 Ad-hCMV-Flt3L viral particles (cohort E), and 1×1011 Ad-hCMV-TK viral particles and 1×1011 Ad-hCMV-Flt3L viral particles (cohort F) following a 3+3 design. Two 1 mL tuberculin syringes were used to deliver freehand a mix of Ad-hCMV-TK and Ad-hCMV-Flt3L vectors into the walls of the resection cavity with a total injection of 2 mL distributed as 0·1 mL per site across 20 locations. Subsequently, patients received two 14-day courses of valacyclovir (2 g orally, three times per day) at 1-3 days and 10-12 weeks after vector administration and standad upfront chemoradiotherapy. The primary endpoint was the maximum tolerated dose of Ad-hCMV-Flt3L and Ad-hCMV-TK. Overall survival was a secondary endpoint. Recruitment is complete and the trial is finished. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01811992. FINDINGS Between April 8, 2014, and March 13, 2019, 21 patients were assessed for eligibility and 18 patients with high-grade glioma were enrolled and included in the analysis (three patients in each of the six dose cohorts); eight patients were female and ten were male. Neuropathological examination identified 14 (78%) patients with glioblastoma, three (17%) with gliosarcoma, and one (6%) with anaplastic ependymoma. The treatment was well-tolerated, and no dose-limiting toxicity was observed. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached. The most common serious grade 3-4 adverse events across all treatment groups were wound infection (four events in two patients) and thromboembolic events (five events in four patients). One death due to an adverse event (respiratory failure) occurred but was not related to study treatment. No treatment-related deaths occurred during the study. Median overall survival was 21·3 months (95% CI 11·1-26·1). INTERPRETATION The combination of two adenoviral vectors demonstrated safety and feasibility in patients with high-grade glioma and warrants further investigation in a phase 1b/2 clinical trial.

Abstract
Associations between human genetic variation and clinical phenotypes have become a foundation of biomedical research. Most repositories of these data seek to be disease-agnostic and therefore lack disease-focused views. The Type 2 Diabetes Knowledge Portal (T2DKP) is a public resource of genetic datasets and genomic annotations dedicated to type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related traits. Here, we seek to make the T2DKP more accessible to prospective users and more useful to existing users. First, we evaluate the T2DKP's comprehensiveness by comparing its datasets with those of other repositories. Second, we describe how researchers unfamiliar with human genetic data can begin using and correctly interpreting them via the T2DKP. Third, we describe how existing users can extend their current workflows to use the full suite of tools offered by the T2DKP. We finally discuss the lessons offered by the T2DKP toward the goal of democratizing access to complex disease genetic results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Persons with toxic gain-of-function variants in the gene encoding apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) are at greater risk for the development of rapidly progressive, proteinuric nephropathy. Despite the known genetic cause, therapies targeting proteinuric kidney disease in persons with two APOL1 variants (G1 or G2) are lacking. METHODS We used tetracycline-inducible APOL1 human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells to assess the ability of a small-molecule compound, inaxaplin, to inhibit APOL1 channel function. An APOL1 G2-homologous transgenic mouse model of proteinuric kidney disease was used to assess inaxaplin treatment for proteinuria. We then conducted a single-group, open-label, phase 2a clinical study in which inaxaplin was administered to participants who had two APOL1 variants, biopsy-proven focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and proteinuria (urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio of ≥0.7 to <10 [with protein and creatinine both measured in grams] and an estimated glomerular filtration rate of ≥27 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area). Participants received inaxaplin daily for 13 weeks (15 mg for 2 weeks and 45 mg for 11 weeks) along with standard care. The primary outcome was the percent change from the baseline urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio at week 13 in participants who had at least 80% adherence to inaxaplin therapy. Safety was also assessed. RESULTS In preclinical studies, inaxaplin selectively inhibited APOL1 channel function in vitro and reduced proteinuria in the mouse model. Sixteen participants were enrolled in the phase 2a study. Among the 13 participants who were treated with inaxaplin and met the adherence threshold, the mean change from the baseline urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio at week 13 was -47.6% (95% confidence interval, -60.0 to -31.3). In an analysis that included all the participants regardless of adherence to inaxaplin therapy, reductions similar to those in the primary analysis were observed in all but 1 participant. Adverse events were mild or moderate in severity; none led to study discontinuation. CONCLUSIONS Targeted inhibition of APOL1 channel function with inaxaplin reduced proteinuria in participants with two APOL1 variants and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

Abstract
Importance Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness with no treatment available for early stages. Retrospective studies have shown an association between metformin and reduced risk of AMD. Objective To investigate the association between metformin use and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Design, Setting, and Participants The Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study is a cross-sectional follow-up phase of a large multicenter randomized clinical trial, Diabetes Prevention Program (1996-2001), to investigate the association of treatment with metformin or an intensive lifestyle modification vs placebo with preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes in a population at high risk for developing diabetes. Participants with retinal imaging at a follow-up visit 16 years posttrial (2017-2019) were included. Analysis took place between October 2019 and May 2022. Interventions Participants were randomly distributed between 3 interventional arms: lifestyle, metformin, and placebo. Main Outcomes and Measures Prevalence of AMD in the treatment arms. Results Of 1592 participants, 514 (32.3%) were in the lifestyle arm, 549 (34.5%) were in the metformin arm, and 529 (33.2%) were in the placebo arm. All 3 arms were balanced for baseline characteristics including age (mean [SD] age at randomization, 49 [9] years), sex (1128 [71%] male), race and ethnicity (784 [49%] White), smoking habits, body mass index, and education level. AMD was identified in 479 participants (30.1%); 229 (14.4%) had early AMD, 218 (13.7%) had intermediate AMD, and 32 (2.0%) had advanced AMD. There was no significant difference in the presence of AMD between the 3 groups: 152 (29.6%) in the lifestyle arm, 165 (30.2%) in the metformin arm, and 162 (30.7%) in the placebo arm. There was also no difference in the distribution of early, intermediate, and advanced AMD between the intervention groups. Mean duration of metformin use was similar for those with and without AMD (mean [SD], 8.0 [9.3] vs 8.5 [9.3] years; P = .69). In the multivariate models, history of smoking was associated with increased risks of AMD (odds ratio, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.05-1.61; P = .02). Conclusions and Relevance These data suggest neither metformin nor lifestyle changes initiated for diabetes prevention were associated with the risk of any AMD, with similar results for AMD severity. Duration of metformin use was also not associated with AMD. This analysis does not address the association of metformin with incidence or progression of AMD.

Abstract
Petroclival meningiomas are challenging lesions that can be treated with several surgical approaches. The authors present a 66-year-old woman with a 1.6-cm left petroclival meningioma that was initially observed and then radiated after it grew 8 years later. Despite radiation, the tumor continued to grow to 4 cm; therefore, the patient was referred to the authors’ institution. A left anterior petrosal (Kawase) approach was performed. Postoperatively, the patient had transient cranial nerve IV and VI palsy that improved. The case presentation, surgical anatomy, operative technique, postoperative course, and different surgical approaches are reviewed. The patient gave verbal consent for participating in the surgical video. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2022.1.FOCVID21259

Abstract
PURPOSE The impact of exercise on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with glioma remains unknown. We hypothesized that glioma patients with low exercise tolerance experience more distress in HRQOL sleep and fatigue domains than patients with high tolerance to exercise. METHODS Thirty-eight male and female patients with low- or high-grade glioma treated at a single tertiary care institution participated. Patients completed a validated telephone survey to determine their exercise habits before and following diagnosis. An unpaired t-test was run to measure the interaction between exercise tolerances on HRQOL functional and impairment domains. RESULTS Those with low pre-morbid physical activity levels had more distress in HRQOL sleep and fatigue domains. The effects were independent of plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and the degree of exercise did not appear to impact plasma BDNF in adult glioma patients. CONCLUSIONS The aim of this study was to examine the significance of exercise habits on perioperative functional outcomes in patients with low-grade or high-grade glioma. We found that glioma patients with low tolerance to exercise had more sleep disturbances and greater fatigue than glioma patients with high tolerance to exercise. Furthermore, exercise tolerance in the adult glioma population does not appear to impact plasma BDNF secretion.

Abstract
Transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) and sickle cell disease (SCD) are severe monogenic diseases with severe and potentially life-threatening manifestations. BCL11A is a transcription factor that represses γ-globin expression and fetal hemoglobin in erythroid cells. We performed electroporation of CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells obtained from healthy donors, with CRISPR-Cas9 targeting the BCL11A erythroid-specific enhancer. Approximately 80% of the alleles at this locus were modified, with no evidence of off-target editing. After undergoing myeloablation, two patients - one with TDT and the other with SCD - received autologous CD34+ cells edited with CRISPR-Cas9 targeting the same BCL11A enhancer. More than a year later, both patients had high levels of allelic editing in bone marrow and blood, increases in fetal hemoglobin that were distributed pancellularly, transfusion independence, and (in the patient with SCD) elimination of vaso-occlusive episodes.

Abstract
Differences between sexes contribute to variation in the levels of fasting glucose and insulin. Epidemiological studies established a higher prevalence of impaired fasting glucose in men and impaired glucose tolerance in women, however, the genetic component underlying this phenomenon is not established. We assess sex-dimorphic (73,089/50,404 women and 67,506/47,806 men) and sex-combined (151,188/105,056 individuals) fasting glucose/fasting insulin genetic effects via genome-wide association study meta-analyses in individuals of European descent without diabetes. Here we report sex dimorphism in allelic effects on fasting insulin at IRS1 and ZNF12 loci, the latter showing higher RNA expression in whole blood in women compared to men. We also observe sex-homogeneous effects on fasting glucose at seven novel loci. Fasting insulin in women shows stronger genetic correlations than in men with waist-to-hip ratio and anorexia nervosa. Furthermore, waist-to-hip ratio is causally related to insulin resistance in women, but not in men. These results position dissection of metabolic and glycemic health sex dimorphism as a steppingstone for understanding differences in genetic effects between women and men in related phenotypes.

Abstract
Abstract
High grade gliomas (HGG) such as glioblastoma lack effective treatment with poor prognosis of median overall survival (OS) around 14-16 months with standard of care. Initiation of effective immune response against cancer requires functional dendritic cells, which are absent from the central nervous system, resulting in lack of anti-HGG immune responses. An effective anti-glioma immune response can be achieved by combining glioma cytotoxicity with HSV1-TK and valacyclovir, and recruitment of dendritic cells to the brain with Flt3L. This dual approach makes endogenous tumor antigens available to infiltrating dendritic cells in its microenvironment by causing: (i) dendritic cells' infiltration of gliomas, (ii) CD8+, CD4+ T cell immune cytotoxicity and memory, and (iii) the systemic immune system to recognize tumor neoantigens. We report the first in human phase I dose escalation trial of adenoviral vectors expressing HSV1-TK and Flt3L (NCT01811992). Injection of dose escalated HSV1-TK and Flt3L adenovectors (range 1x10^9 vp - 1x10^11 vp) to the tumor bed post-resection of newly diagnosed HGG was followed by two cycles of 14-day course of valacyclovir starting 1-3 days and 10-12 weeks post-op combined with standard of care upfront radiation, concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide. Key inclusion criteria were ages 18-75, KPS ≥70, and suspected newly diagnosed HGG amenable to gross total resection. Enrollment and vector injection occurred after frozen pathology confirmed HGG. Out of 18 patients, six are still alive. The primary endpoint of maximal tolerated dose was not reached and the experimental treatment was well tolerated without dose limiting toxicity. The secondary endpoint of OS is promising with median of 21.9 months (range 5.4-52.7). Five out of six patients (83%) who had re-resection at the time of suspected radiographic progression had treatment effect rather than true progression, and increase in markers for dendritic cells, CD4+ T cells, and macrophages were noted, indicating successful immunity recruitment consistent with pre-clinical findings. Updated survival data, as well as comparison to matched controls, and detailed toxicities will be presented at the time of the meeting. In conclusion, the use of dual adenoviral vectors expressing Flt3L and HSV1-TK is safe and well tolerated in newly diagnosed HGG patients. Our results indicate promising preliminary survival outcome and histological evidence of immune infiltration. Future studies to assess treatment efficacy is warranted.

Abstract
Abstract
This is an interim report on a first in human Phase I dose escalation trial of the combination of two adenoviral vectors expressing HSV1-TK or Flt3L for the treatment of newly diagnosed, resectable malignant gliomas. Lack of dendritic cells from the brain precludes anti-glioma immune responses. We combined tumor cytotoxicity (Ad-HSV1TK) with recruitment of dendritic cells to gliomas (Ad-Flt3L) to induce anti-glioma immunity. In experimental models this treatment induces powerful cytotoxic CD8 and CD4 T-dependent anti-glioma immunity, immunological memory, and the capacity to recognize neo-antigens. The trial was approved through a FDA-IND, and all institutional cttees. Treatment was administered intraoperatively following complete glioma resection in newly diagnosed tumors. The trial consisted of vector dose escalation, starting at 1x10^9 v.p., and increasing to 1x10^11 v.p. of each vector, through 6 cohorts of 3 patients each. Two cycles of 14 days of valacyclovir were administered to activate HSV1-TK cytotoxicity. Cycle 1 starts on Day 1–3 post surgery for 14 days, and Cycle 2 on Week 8–12. Standard radiation, i.e., 60 Gy in 2 Gy fractions over 6 weeks, with concurrent temozolomide, was followed by cyclic temozolomide. Examination of tumor samples at primary resection and first recurrence show an increase in the infiltration of inflammatory cells. The experimental treatment was well tolerated. An MTD was not reached. There were approx. 248 AEs, and 26 SAEs; these were not linked to treatment. As secondary outcome, median survival of contemporary controls was 604 days, and median survival of trial patients was 742 days. Our results show for the first time that reprogramming of the host’s brain immune system to recognize gliomas reveals a new approach for the treatment of highly malignant brain tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT01811992.

Abstract
Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive and highly vascular tumor with median survival below 2 years. Despite advances in surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, survival has improved modestly. To combat glioma vascular proliferation, anti-angiogenic agents targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were introduced. Preclinically these agents were effective, yet they did not improve overall survival in phase III trials. We tested the hypothesis that ganciclovir (GCV)-mediated killing of proliferating endothelial cells expressing herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase (HSV1-TK) would have direct antitumor effects, and whether vessel ablation would affect the antitumor activity of anti-VEGF antibodies and radiotherapy. Methods Proliferating endothelial cells were eliminated using GCV-mediated killing of proliferating endothelial cells expressing HSV1-TK (in Tie2-TK-IRES-GFP mice). Syngeneic NRAS/p53 (NP) gliomas were implanted into the brains of Tie2-TK-IRES-GFP mice. Endothelial proliferation activates the Tie2 promoter and HSV1-TK expression. Administration of GCV kills proliferating tumor endothelial cells and slows tumor growth. The effects of endothelial cell ablation on anti-angiogenic therapy were examined using anti-VEGF antibodies or irradiation. Results GCV administration reduced tumor growth and vascular density, increased tumor apoptosis, and prolonged survival. Anti-VEGF antibodies or irradiation also prolonged survival. Surprisingly, combining GCV with irradiation, or with anti-VEGF antibodies, reduced their individual therapeutic effects. Conclusion GCV-mediated killing of proliferating endothelial cells expressing HSV1-TK, anti-VEGF antibodies, or irradiation all reduced growth of a murine glioma. However, elimination of microvascular proliferation decreased the efficacy of anti-VEGF or irradiation therapy. We conclude that, in our model, the integrity of proliferating vessels is necessary for the antiglioma effects of anti-VEGF and radiation therapy.

Abstract
Diffuse Gliomas represent 80% of brain tumors with an average survival of the most aggressive form glioblastoma (GBM) 15-22 months from the time of diagnosis. The current standard of care includes tumor resection, chemotherapy and radiation, nevertheless, the incidence of recurrence remains high and there is a critical need for developing new therapeutic strategies. T-cell mediated immunotherapy that triggers an anti-tumor T cell-mediated memory response is a promising approach since it will not only attack the primary tumor but also prevent recurrence. Multiple immunotherapeutic strategies against glioma are currently being tested in clinical trials. We have developed an immune-mediated gene therapy (Thymidine kinase plus Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand: TK/Flt3L) which induces a robust anti-tumor T cell response leading to tumor regression, long-term survival and immunological memory in GBM models. Efficacy of the anti-glioma T cell therapy is determined by anti-tumor specific effector T cells. Therefore, assessing effector T cell activation status and function are critical readouts for determining the effectiveness of the therapy. Here, we detail methodologies to evaluate tumor specific T-cell responses using a genetically engineered Sleeping Beauty transposase-mediated glioma model. We first describe the glioma model and the generation of neurospheres (NS) that express the surrogate antigen cOVA. Then, we describe functional assays to determine anti-tumor T-cell response.

Abstract
Gliomas are the most common malignant brain tumors in the pediatric population. Even though great efforts have been made to understand their distinctive molecular characteristics, there has not been any improvements in the median survival in decades. In children, high-grade glial tumors have a median survival of 9-15 months. It has recently been demonstrated that pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG) are biologically and molecularly different from the adult counterparts, which could explain why conventional treatments universally fail. The development of an in vivo pHGG model harboring the specific genetic alterations encountered in pediatric gliomas is imperative in order to study the molecular basis that drives the progression and aggressiveness of these tumors. It would also enable harnessing these results for the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Our lab has implemented a method to induce brain tumors using transposon-mediated integration of plasmid DNA into cells of the subventricular zone of neonatal mouse brain. One of the main advantages of this method is that tumors are induced by altering the genome of the host cells, allowing us to recapitulate the salient features of the human disease. In this chapter we describe a method to isolate two cell populations from tumors generated in situ in mice, i.e., one population enriched in tumor cells and another population enriched in CD45+ cells. We also present methodologies as to how tumor infiltrating immune cells can be phenotypically characterized using flow cytometry.

Abstract
Protein-coding genetic variants that strongly affect disease risk can yield relevant clues to disease pathogenesis. Here we report exome-sequencing analyses of 20,791 individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and 24,440 non-diabetic control participants from 5 ancestries. We identify gene-level associations of rare variants (with minor allele frequencies of less than 0.5%) in 4 genes at exome-wide significance, including a series of more than 30 SLC30A8 alleles that conveys protection against T2D, and in 12 gene sets, including those corresponding to T2D drug targets (P = 6.1 × 10-3) and candidate genes from knockout mice (P = 5.2 × 10-3). Within our study, the strongest T2D gene-level signals for rare variants explain at most 25% of the heritability of the strongest common single-variant signals, and the gene-level effect sizes of the rare variants that we observed in established T2D drug targets will require 75,000-185,000 sequenced cases to achieve exome-wide significance. We propose a method to interpret these modest rare-variant associations and to incorporate these associations into future target or gene prioritization efforts.

Abstract
2019 Background: This is the initial report on a first in human Phase I dose escalation trial of the combination of two adenoviral vectors expressing HSV1-TK or Flt3L for the treatment of newly diagnosed, resectable malignant gliomas. The absence of functional dendritic cells from the brain precludes anti-brain tumor immune responses. We combined tumor cytotoxicity (Ad-HSV1TK) with recruitment of dendritic cells to the brain (Ad-Flt3L) to induce an effective anti-tumor immune response. This strategy induced an efficacious, cytotoxic CD8 and CD4 T-dependent immune response in many animal models of glioma. This immune response also generated anti-tumor memory, and the capacity for neoantigen recognition. Methods: The trial was approved by FDA and all institutional cttees. Treatment was administered intraoperatively following complete glioma resection in newly diagnosed tumors. The trial consisted of vector dose escalation, starting at 1x10^9 i.u., and increasing to 1x10^11 i.u. of each vector. Dose escalation proceeded by increasing the vector dose through a total of 6 combinations administered to 6 cohorts of 3 patients each. Two cycles of 14 days each of valacyclovir were administered to activate HSV1-TK cytotoxicity. Cycle 1 starts on Day 1-3 post surgery for 14 days, and Cycle 2 on Week 8-12. Standard radiation, i.e., 60 Gy in 2 Gy fractions over 6 weeks, with concurrent temozolomide, was followed by cyclic temozolomide. Results: Examination of tumor samples at primary resection and first recurrence show an increase in the infiltration of inflammatory cells. The experimental treatment was well tolerated. At this time the MTD has not been reached. There were approx. 248 AEs, and 26 SAEs; these have not been linked to treatment. At this time the MTD has not been reached. A secondary outcome is overall survival. Preliminary analysis of partial data may suggest that the combined viral vector therapy may provide a clinically significant survival. Conclusions: Our results show for the first time that reprogramming of the host’s brain immune system to recognize gliomas reveals a new approach for the treatment of highly malignant brain tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT01811992.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive primary brain tumor, for which there is no cure. Treatment effectiveness for GBM has been limited due to tumor heterogeneity, an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), and the presence of the blood-brain barrier, which hampers the transport of chemotherapeutic compounds to the central nervous system (CNS). High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-mimicking nanodiscs hold considerable promise to achieve delivery of bioactive compounds into tumors. Herein, we tested the ability of synthetic HDL nanodiscs to deliver chemotherapeutic agents to the GBM microenvironment and elicit tumor regression. To this end, we developed chemo-immunotherapy delivery vehicles based on sHDL nanodiscs loaded with CpG, a Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist, together with docetaxel (DTX), a chemotherapeutic agent, for targeting GBM. Our data show that delivery of DTX-sHDL-CpG nanodiscs into the tumor mass elicited tumor regression and antitumor CD8+ T cell responses in the brain TME. We did not observe any overt off-target side effects. Furthermore, the combination of DTX-sHDL-CpG treatment with radiation (IR), which is the standard of care for GBM, resulted in tumor regression and long-term survival in 80% of GBM-bearing animals. Mice remained tumor-free upon tumor cell rechallenge in the contralateral hemisphere, indicating the development of anti-GBM immunological memory. Collectively, these data indicate that sHDL nanodiscs constitute an effective drug delivery platform for the treatment of GBM, resulting in tumor regression, long-term survival, and immunological memory when used in combination with IR. The proposed delivery platform has significant potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Attempted gross-total resection for the management of cystic retrochiasmatic craniopharyngiomas can cause severe hypothalamic dysfunction and decrease overall survival. Ventriculoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive alternative; however, potential indications and technique have not been well defined. OBJECTIVE To present our indications and technique for the ventriculoscopic treatment of cystic retrochiasmatic craniopharyngiomas. METHODS We evaluated all patients with retrochiasmatic craniopharyngiomas for ventriculoscopic surgery. Indications and operative technique were developed to minimize operative morbidity, relieve mass effect, and optimize functional outcome. Cyst size and functional outcomes were statistically evaluated to determine radiographic and short-term clinical outcome. RESULTS Indications for ventriculoscopic surgery included (1) radiographic evidence of hypothalamic involvement and (2) major cystic component. Ten patients met indications, and mean follow-up was 2.5 ± 1.6 yr. The surgical technique included wide cyst fenestration at the foramen of Monro, and fenestration of inferior cyst wall/third ventriculostomy ("through-and-through" technique). Preoperative Karnofsky performance status was 70 ± 15 and was inversely correlated with preoperative cyst size (13 ± 13 cm3). A statistically significant reduction in cyst size was found on early postoperative imaging (2.1 ± 4.3 cm3). Seven patients received postoperative radiotherapy. Postoperative performance scores (81 ± 8.3) had improved; no patient suffered functional decline. Pre- and postoperative body mass indices were similar. No patient had short-term hypothalamic obesity. CONCLUSION Ventriculoscopic surgery, with or without adjuvant treatments, can reduce early postoperative tumor volume and improve short-term functional status in cystic retrochiasmatic craniopharyngiomas with hypothalamic involvement; it should be considered a minimally invasive option in the multimodal treatment of craniopharyngiomas. Further studies are needed to determine long-term efficacy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION ATRX is a chromatin remodeling protein whose main function is the deposition of the histone variant H3.3. ATRX mutations are widely distributed in glioma, and correlate with alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) development, but they also affect other cellular functions related to epigenetic regulation. Areas covered: We discuss the main molecular characteristics of ATRX, from its various functions in normal development to the effects of its loss in ATRX syndrome patients and animal models. We focus on the salient consequences of ATRX mutations in cancer, from a clinical to a molecular point of view, focusing on both adult and pediatric glioma. Finally, we will discuss the therapeutic opportunities future research perspectives. Expert opinion: ATRX is a major component of various essential cellular pathways, exceeding its functions as a histone chaperone (e.g. DNA replication and repair, chromatin higher-order structure regulation, gene transcriptional regulation, etc.). However, it is unclear how the loss of these functions in ATRX-null cancer cells affects cancer development and progression. We anticipate new treatments and clinical approaches will emerge for glioma and other cancer types as mechanistic and molecular studies on ATRX are only just beginning to reveal the many critical functions of this protein in cancer.

Abstract
Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is an endogenous inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase that modulates lipid levels, coronary atherosclerosis risk, and nutrient partitioning. We hypothesize that loss of ANGPTL4 function might improve glucose homeostasis and decrease risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). We investigate protein-altering variants in ANGPTL4 among 58,124 participants in the DiscovEHR human genetics study, with follow-up studies in 82,766 T2D cases and 498,761 controls. Carriers of p.E40K, a variant that abolishes ANGPTL4 ability to inhibit lipoprotein lipase, have lower odds of T2D (odds ratio 0.89, 95% confidence interval 0.85–0.92, p = 6.3 × 10−10), lower fasting glucose, and greater insulin sensitivity. Predicted loss-of-function variants are associated with lower odds of T2D among 32,015 cases and 84,006 controls (odds ratio 0.71, 95% confidence interval 0.49–0.99, p = 0.041). Functional studies in Angptl4-deficient mice confirm improved insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis. In conclusion, genetic inactivation of ANGPTL4 is associated with improved glucose homeostasis and reduced risk of T2D. Genetic variation in ANGPTL4 is associated with lipid traits. Here, the authors find that predicted loss-of-function variants in ANGPTL4 are associated with glucose homeostasis and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and that Angptl4−/− mice on a high-fat diet show improved insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
There is a large unmet need for effective therapeutic approaches for glioma, the most malignant brain tumor. Clinical and preclinical studies have enormously expanded our knowledge about the molecular aspects of this deadly disease and its interaction with the host immune system. In this review we highlight the wide array of immunotherapeutic interventions that are currently being tested in glioma patients. Given the molecular heterogeneity, tumor immunoediting and the profound immunosuppression that characterize glioma, it has become clear that combinatorial approaches targeting multiple pathways tailored to the genetic signature of the tumor will be required in order to achieve optimal therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
To investigate the genetic basis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) to high resolution, the GoT2D and T2D-GENES consortia catalogued variation from whole-genome sequencing of 2,657 European individuals and exome sequencing of 12,940 individuals of multiple ancestries. Over 27M SNPs, indels, and structural variants were identified, including 99% of low-frequency (minor allele frequency [MAF] 0.1-5%) non-coding variants in the whole-genome sequenced individuals and 99.7% of low-frequency coding variants in the whole-exome sequenced individuals. Each variant was tested for association with T2D in the sequenced individuals, and, to increase power, most were tested in larger numbers of individuals (>80% of low-frequency coding variants in ~82 K Europeans via the exome chip, and ~90% of low-frequency non-coding variants in ~44 K Europeans via genotype imputation). The variants, genotypes, and association statistics from these analyses provide the largest reference to date of human genetic information relevant to T2D, for use in activities such as T2D-focused genotype imputation, functional characterization of variants or genes, and other novel analyses to detect associations between sequence variation and T2D.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects more than 415 million people worldwide, and its costs to the health care system continue to rise. To identify common or rare genetic variation with potential therapeutic implications for T2D, we analyzed and replicated genome-wide protein coding variation in a total of 8,227 individuals with T2D and 12,966 individuals without T2D of Latino descent. We identified a novel genetic variant in the IGF2 gene associated with ∼20% reduced risk for T2D. This variant, which has an allele frequency of 17% in the Mexican population but is rare in Europe, prevents splicing between IGF2 exons 1 and 2. We show in vitro and in human liver and adipose tissue that the variant is associated with a specific, allele-dosage-dependent reduction in the expression of IGF2 isoform 2. In individuals who do not carry the protective allele, expression of IGF2 isoform 2 in adipose is positively correlated with both incidence of T2D and increased plasma glycated hemoglobin in individuals without T2D, providing support that the protective effects are mediated by reductions in IGF2 isoform 2. Broad phenotypic examination of carriers of the protective variant revealed no association with other disease states or impaired reproductive health. These findings suggest that reducing IGF2 isoform 2 expression in relevant tissues has potential as a new therapeutic strategy for T2D, even beyond the Latin American population, with no major adverse effects on health or reproduction.

Abstract
To characterize type 2 diabetes (T2D)-associated variation across the allele frequency spectrum, we conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association data from 26,676 T2D case and 132,532 control subjects of European ancestry after imputation using the 1000 Genomes multiethnic reference panel. Promising association signals were followed up in additional data sets (of 14,545 or 7,397 T2D case and 38,994 or 71,604 control subjects). We identified 13 novel T2D-associated loci (P < 5 × 10-8), including variants near the GLP2R, GIP, and HLA-DQA1 genes. Our analysis brought the total number of independent T2D associations to 128 distinct signals at 113 loci. Despite substantially increased sample size and more complete coverage of low-frequency variation, all novel associations were driven by common single nucleotide variants. Credible sets of potentially causal variants were generally larger than those based on imputation with earlier reference panels, consistent with resolution of causal signals to common risk haplotypes. Stratification of T2D-associated loci based on T2D-related quantitative trait associations revealed tissue-specific enrichment of regulatory annotations in pancreatic islet enhancers for loci influencing insulin secretion and in adipocytes, monocytes, and hepatocytes for insulin action-associated loci. These findings highlight the predominant role played by common variants of modest effect and the diversity of biological mechanisms influencing T2D pathophysiology.

Abstract
Context Variation in genes that cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) has been associated with diabetes incidence and glycemic traits. Objectives This study aimed to determine whether genetic variation in MODY genes leads to differential responses to insulin-sensitizing interventions. Design and Setting This was a secondary analysis of a multicenter, randomized clinical trial, the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), involving 27 US academic institutions. We genotyped 22 missense and 221 common variants in the MODY-causing genes in the participants in the DPP. Participants and Interventions The study included 2806 genotyped DPP participants randomized to receive intensive lifestyle intervention (n = 935), metformin (n = 927), or placebo (n = 944). Main Outcome Measures Association of MODY genetic variants with diabetes incidence at a median of 3 years and measures of 1-year β-cell function, insulinogenic index, and oral disposition index. Analyses were stratified by treatment group for significant single-nucleotide polymorphism × treatment interaction (Pint < 0.05). Sequence kernel association tests examined the association between an aggregate of rare missense variants and insulinogenic traits. Results After 1 year, the minor allele of rs3212185 (HNF4A) was associated with improved β-cell function in the metformin and lifestyle groups but not the placebo group; the minor allele of rs6719578 (NEUROD1) was associated with an increase in insulin secretion in the metformin group but not in the placebo and lifestyle groups. Conclusions These results provide evidence that genetic variation among MODY genes may influence response to insulin-sensitizing interventions.

Abstract
To identify novel coding association signals and facilitate characterization of mechanisms influencing glycemic traits and type 2 diabetes risk, we analyzed 109,215 variants derived from exome array genotyping together with an additional 390,225 variants from exome sequence in up to 39,339 normoglycemic individuals from five ancestry groups. We identified a novel association between the coding variant (p.Pro50Thr) in AKT2 and fasting plasma insulin (FI), a gene in which rare fully penetrant mutations are causal for monogenic glycemic disorders. The low-frequency allele is associated with a 12% increase in FI levels. This variant is present at 1.1% frequency in Finns but virtually absent in individuals from other ancestries. Carriers of the FI-increasing allele had increased 2-h insulin values, decreased insulin sensitivity, and increased risk of type 2 diabetes (odds ratio 1.05). In cellular studies, the AKT2-Thr50 protein exhibited a partial loss of function. We extend the allelic spectrum for coding variants in AKT2 associated with disorders of glucose homeostasis and demonstrate bidirectional effects of variants within the pleckstrin homology domain of AKT2.

Abstract
Variants in HNF1A encoding hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α (HNF-1A) are associated with maturity-onset diabetes of the young form 3 (MODY 3) and type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether functional classification of HNF1A rare coding variants can inform models of diabetes risk prediction in the general population by analyzing the effect of 27 HNF1A variants identified in well-phenotyped populations (n = 4,115). Bioinformatics tools classified 11 variants as likely pathogenic and showed no association with diabetes risk (combined minor allele frequency [MAF] 0.22%; odds ratio [OR] 2.02; 95% CI 0.73-5.60; P = 0.18). However, a different set of 11 variants that reduced HNF-1A transcriptional activity to <60% of normal (wild-type) activity was strongly associated with diabetes in the general population (combined MAF 0.22%; OR 5.04; 95% CI 1.99-12.80; P = 0.0007). Our functional investigations indicate that 0.44% of the population carry HNF1A variants that result in a substantially increased risk for developing diabetes. These results suggest that functional characterization of variants within MODY genes may overcome the limitations of bioinformatics tools for the purposes of presymptomatic diabetes risk prediction in the general population.

Abstract
Clinical exome sequencing routinely identifies missense variants in disease-related genes, but functional characterization is rarely undertaken, leading to diagnostic uncertainty1,2. For example, mutations in PPARG cause Mendelian lipodystrophy3,4 and increase risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D)5. While approximately one in 500 people harbor missense variants in PPARG, most are of unknown consequence. To prospectively characterize PPARγ variants we used highly parallel oligonucleotide synthesis to construct a library encoding all 9,595 possible single amino acid substitutions. We developed a pooled functional assay in human macrophages, experimentally evaluated all protein variants, and used the experimental data to train a variant classifier by supervised machine learning (http://miter.broadinstitute.org). When applied to 55 novel missense variants identified in population-based and clinical sequencing, the classifier annotated six as pathogenic; these were subsequently validated by single-variant assays. Saturation mutagenesis and prospective experimental characterization can support immediate diagnostic interpretation of newly discovered missense variants in disease-related genes.

Abstract
Massively parallel whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data have ushered in a new era in human genetics. These data are now being used to understand the role of rare variants in complex traits and to advance the goals of precision medicine. The technological and computing advances that have enabled us to generate WGS data on thousands of individuals have also outpaced our ability to perform analyses in scientifically and statistically rigorous and thoughtful ways. The past several years have witnessed the application of whole-exome sequencing (WES) to complex traits and diseases. From our analysis of NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) data, not only have a number of important disease and complex trait association findings emerged, but our collective experience offers some valuable lessons for WGS initiatives. These include caveats associated with generating automated pipelines for quality control and analysis of rare variants; the importance of studying minority populations; sample size requirements and efficient study designs for identifying rare-variant associations; and the significance of incidental findings in population-based genetic research. With the ESP as an example, we offer guidance and a framework on how to conduct a large-scale association study in the era of WGS.

Abstract
We describe a reference panel of 64,976 human haplotypes at 39,235,157 SNPs constructed using whole-genome sequence data from 20 studies of predominantly European ancestry. Using this resource leads to accurate genotype imputation at minor allele frequencies as low as 0.1% and a large increase in the number of SNPs tested in association studies, and it can help to discover and refine causal loci. We describe remote server resources that allow researchers to carry out imputation and phasing consistently and efficiently.

Abstract
This unit describes how to use BWA and the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK) to map genome sequencing data to a reference and produce high-quality variant calls that can be used in downstream analyses. The complete workflow includes the core NGS data processing steps that are necessary to make the raw data suitable for analysis by the GATK, as well as the key methods involved in variant discovery using the GATK.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The correlation of null alleles with human phenotypes can provide insight into gene function in humans. In individuals of African ancestry, we set out to identify null and damaging missense variants, and test these variants for association with a range of cardiovascular phenotypes. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed whole-exome sequencing in 3223 black individuals from the Jackson Heart Study and found a total of 729 666 variant sites with minor allele frequency <5%, including 17 263 null variants and 49 929 missense variants predicted to be damaging by in silico algorithms. We tested null and damaging missense variants within each gene for association with 36 cardiovascular traits. We found 3 associations that met our prespecified level of significance (α=1.1×10(-7)). Null and damaging missense variants in PCSK9 were associated with 36 mg/dL lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P=3×10(-21)). Three individuals in their 50s with complete PCSK9 deficiency (each compound heterozygote for PCSK9 p.Y142X and p.C679X) were identified, with one having a coronary artery calcification score in the 83rd percentile despite a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol of 32 mg/dL. A damaging missense variant in HBQ1 (p.G52A) was associated with a 2 pg/cell lower mean corpuscular hemoglobin (P=9×10(-13)) and rare damaging missense variants in VPS13A with higher red blood cell distribution width (P=9.9×10(-8)). CONCLUSIONS A limited number of null/damaging alleles with a large effect on cardiovascular traits were detectable in ≈3000 black individuals.

Abstract
To gain insight into potential regulatory mechanisms through which the effects of variants at four established type 2 diabetes (T2D) susceptibility loci (CDKAL1, CDKN2A-B, IGF2BP2 and KCNQ1) are mediated, we undertook transancestral fine-mapping in 22 086 cases and 42 539 controls of East Asian, European, South Asian, African American and Mexican American descent. Through high-density imputation and conditional analyses, we identified seven distinct association signals at these four loci, each with allelic effects on T2D susceptibility that were homogenous across ancestry groups. By leveraging differences in the structure of linkage disequilibrium between diverse populations, and increased sample size, we localised the variants most likely to drive each distinct association signal. We demonstrated that integration of these genetic fine-mapping data with genomic annotation can highlight potential causal regulatory elements in T2D-relevant tissues. These analyses provide insight into the mechanisms through which T2D association signals are mediated, and suggest future routes to understanding the biology of specific disease susceptibility loci.

Abstract
OBJECT
Pathological compression fractures in cancer patients cause significant pain and disability. Spinal metastases affect quality of life near the end of life and may require multiple procedures, including medical palliative care and open surgical decompression and fixation. An increasingly popular minimally invasive technique to treat metastatic instabilities is kyphoplasty. Even though it may alleviate pain due to pathological fractures, it may fail. However, delayed kyphoplasty failures with retropulsed cement and neural element compression have not been well reported. Such failures necessitate open surgical decompression and stabilization, and cement inserted during the kyphoplasty complicates salvage surgeries in patients with a disease-burdened spine. The authors sought to examine the incidence of delayed failure of structural kyphoplasty in a series of cement augmentations for pathological compression fractures. The goal was to identify risk predictors by analyzing patient and disease characteristics to reduce kyphoplasty failure and to prevent excessive surgical procedures at the end of life.
METHODS
The authors retrospectively reviewed the records of all patients with metastatic cancer from 2010 to 2013 who had undergone a procedure involving cement augmentation for a pathological compression fracture at their institution. The authors examined the characteristics of the patients, diseases, and radiographic fractures.
RESULTS
In total, 37 patients underwent cement augmentation in 75 spinal levels during 45 surgeries. Four patients had delayed structural kyphoplasty failure necessitating surgical decompression and fusion. The mean time to kyphoplasty failure was 2.88 ± 1.24 months. The mean loss of vertebral body height was 16% in the patients in whom kyphoplasty failed and 32% in patients in whom kyphoplasty did not fail. No posterior intraoperative cement extravasation was observed in the patients in whom kyphoplasty had failed. The mean spinal instability neoplastic score was 10.8 in the patients in whom kyphoplasty failed and 10.1 in those in whom kyphoplasty did not fail. Approximately 50% of the kyphoplasty failures occurred at junctional spinal levels. All the patients in whom kyphoplasty failed had fractures in 3 or more cortical walls before treatment, whereas 46% of patients in the nonfailure group had fractures with breaching of 3 or more walls.
CONCLUSIONS
Although rare, delayed failures of structural augmentation with cement during kyphoplasty do occur and can lead to additional surgeries. A possible predictive index may include wall integrity of the vertebral body, competency of the posterior tension band, and location of the kyphoplasty at a junctional spinal level. Additional studies are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Although variants in the IGF2BP2/IMP2 gene confer risk for type 2 diabetes, IMP2, an RNA binding protein, is not known to regulate metabolism. Imp2(-/-) mice gain less lean mass after weaning and have increased lifespan. Imp2(-/-) mice are highly resistant to diet-induced obesity and fatty liver and display superior glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, increased energy expenditure, and better defense of core temperature on cold exposure. Imp2(-/-) brown fat and Imp2(-/-) brown adipocytes differentiated in vitro contain more UCP1 polypeptide than Imp2(+/+) despite similar levels of Ucp1 mRNA; the Imp2(-/-)adipocytes also exhibit greater uncoupled oxygen consumption. IMP2 binds the mRNAs encoding Ucp1 and other mitochondrial components, and most exhibit increased translational efficiency in the absence of IMP2. In vitro IMP2 inhibits translation of mRNAs bearing the Ucp1 untranslated segments. Thus IMP2 limits longevity and regulates nutrient and energy metabolism in the mouse by controlling the translation of its client mRNAs.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have uncovered >65 common variants associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, their relevance for drug development is not yet clear. Of note, the first two T2D-associated loci (PPARG and KCNJ11/ABCC8) encode known targets of antidiabetes medications. We therefore tested whether other genes/pathways targeted by antidiabetes drugs are associated with T2D. We compiled a list of 102 genes in pathways targeted by marketed antidiabetic medications and applied Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (MAGENTA [Meta-Analysis Gene-set Enrichment of variaNT Associations]) to this gene set, using available GWAS meta-analyses for T2D and seven quantitative glycemic traits. We detected a strong enrichment of drug target genes associated with T2D (P = 2 × 10(-5); 14 potential new associations), primarily driven by insulin and thiazolidinedione (TZD) targets, which was replicated in an independent meta-analysis (Metabochip). The glycemic traits yielded no enrichment. The T2D enrichment signal was largely due to multiple genes of modest effects (P = 4 × 10(-4), after removing known loci), highlighting new associations for follow-up (ACSL1, NFKB1, SLC2A2, incretin targets). Furthermore, we found that TZD targets were enriched for LDL cholesterol associations, illustrating the utility of this approach in identifying potential side effects. These results highlight the potential biomedical relevance of genes revealed by GWAS and may provide new avenues for tailored therapy and T2D treatment design.

Abstract
Next-generation sequencing technologies are making it possible to study the role of rare variants in human disease. Many studies balance statistical power with cost-effectiveness by (a) sampling from phenotypic extremes and (b) utilizing a two-stage design. Two-stage designs include a broad-based discovery phase and selection of a subset of potential causal genes/variants to be further examined in independent samples. We evaluate three parameters: first, the gain in statistical power due to extreme sampling to discover causal variants; second, the informativeness of initial (Phase I) association statistics to select genes/variants for follow-up; third, the impact of extreme and random sampling in (Phase 2) replication. We present a quantitative method to select individuals from the phenotypic extremes of a binary trait, and simulate disease association studies under a variety of sample sizes and sampling schemes. First, we find that while studies sampling from extremes have excellent power to discover rare variants, they have limited power to associate them to phenotype—suggesting high false-negative rates for upcoming studies. Second, consistent with previous studies, we find that the effect sizes estimated in these studies are expected to be systematically larger compared with the overall population effect size; in a well-cited lipids study, we estimate the reported effect to be twofold larger. Third, replication studies require large samples from the general population to have sufficient power; extreme sampling could reduce the required sample size as much as fourfold. Our observations offer practical guidance for the design and interpretation of studies that utilize extreme sampling.

Abstract
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) for fasting glucose (FG) and insulin (FI) have identified common variant signals which explain 4.8% and 1.2% of trait variance, respectively. It is hypothesized that low-frequency and rare variants could contribute substantially to unexplained genetic variance. To test this, we analyzed exome-array data from up to 33,231 non-diabetic individuals of European ancestry. We found exome-wide significant (P<5×10-7) evidence for two loci not previously highlighted by common variant GWAS: GLP1R (p.Ala316Thr, minor allele frequency (MAF)=1.5%) influencing FG levels, and URB2 (p.Glu594Val, MAF = 0.1%) influencing FI levels. Coding variant associations can highlight potential effector genes at (non-coding) GWAS signals. At the G6PC2/ABCB11 locus, we identified multiple coding variants in G6PC2 (p.Val219Leu, p.His177Tyr, and p.Tyr207Ser) influencing FG levels, conditionally independent of each other and the non-coding GWAS signal. In vitro assays demonstrate that these associated coding alleles result in reduced protein abundance via proteasomal degradation, establishing G6PC2 as an effector gene at this locus. Reconciliation of single-variant associations and functional effects was only possible when haplotype phase was considered. In contrast to earlier reports suggesting that, paradoxically, glucose-raising alleles at this locus are protective against type 2 diabetes (T2D), the p.Val219Leu G6PC2 variant displayed a modest but directionally consistent association with T2D risk. Coding variant associations for glycemic traits in GWAS signals highlight PCSK1, RREB1, and ZHX3 as likely effector transcripts. These coding variant association signals do not have a major impact on the trait variance explained, but they do provide valuable biological insights. Understanding how FI and FG levels are regulated is important because their derangement is a feature of T2D. Despite recent success from GWAS in identifying regions of the genome influencing glycemic traits, collectively these loci explain only a small proportion of trait variance. Unlocking the biological mechanisms driving these associations has been challenging because the vast majority of variants map to non-coding sequence, and the genes through which they exert their impact are largely unknown. In the current study, we sought to increase our understanding of the physiological pathways influencing both traits using exome-array genotyping in up to 33,231 non-diabetic individuals to identify coding variants and consequently genes associated with either FG or FI levels. We identified novel association signals for both traits including the receptor for GLP-1 agonists which are a widely used therapy for T2D. Furthermore, we identified coding variants at several GWAS loci which point to the genes underlying these association signals. Importantly, we found that multiple coding variants in G6PC2 result in a loss of protein function and lower fasting glucose levels.

Abstract
Alopecia areata (AA) is a prevalent autoimmune disease with 10 known susceptibility loci. Here we perform the first meta-analysis of research on AA by combining data from two genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and replication with supplemented ImmunoChip data for a total of 3,253 cases and 7,543 controls. The strongest region of association is the major histocompatibility complex, where we fine-map four independent effects, all implicating human leukocyte antigen-DR as a key aetiologic driver. Outside the major histocompatibility complex, we identify two novel loci that exceed the threshold of statistical significance, containing ACOXL/BCL2L11(BIM) (2q13); GARP (LRRC32) (11q13.5), as well as a third nominally significant region SH2B3(LNK)/ATXN2 (12q24.12). Candidate susceptibility gene expression analysis in these regions demonstrates expression in relevant immune cells and the hair follicle. We integrate our results with data from seven other autoimmune diseases and provide insight into the alignment of AA within these disorders. Our findings uncover new molecular pathways disrupted in AA, including autophagy/apoptosis, transforming growth factor beta/Tregs and JAK kinase signalling, and support the causal role of aberrant immune processes in AA.

Abstract
Defects in insulin secretion play a central role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, yet the mechanisms driving beta-cell dysfunction remain poorly understood, and therapies to preserve glucose-dependent insulin release are inadequate. We report a luminescent insulin secretion assay that enables large-scale investigations of beta-cell function, created by inserting Gaussia luciferase into the C-peptide portion of proinsulin. Beta-cell lines expressing this construct cosecrete luciferase and insulin in close correlation, under both standard conditions or when stressed by cytokines, fatty acids, or ER toxins. We adapted the reporter for high-throughput assays and performed a 1,600-compound pilot screen, which identified several classes of drugs inhibiting secretion, as well as glucose-potentiated secretagogues that were confirmed to have activity in primary human islets. Requiring 40-fold less time and expense than the traditional ELISA, this assay may accelerate the identification of pathways governing insulin secretion and compounds that safely augment beta-cell function in diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of hematologic cancers increases with age. These cancers are associated with recurrent somatic mutations in specific genes. We hypothesized that such mutations would be detectable in the blood of some persons who are not known to have hematologic disorders. METHODS We analyzed whole-exome sequencing data from DNA in the peripheral-blood cells of 17,182 persons who were unselected for hematologic phenotypes. We looked for somatic mutations by identifying previously characterized single-nucleotide variants and small insertions or deletions in 160 genes that are recurrently mutated in hematologic cancers. The presence of mutations was analyzed for an association with hematologic phenotypes, survival, and cardiovascular events. RESULTS Detectable somatic mutations were rare in persons younger than 40 years of age but rose appreciably in frequency with age. Among persons 70 to 79 years of age, 80 to 89 years of age, and 90 to 108 years of age, these clonal mutations were observed in 9.5% (219 of 2300 persons), 11.7% (37 of 317), and 18.4% (19 of 103), respectively. The majority of the variants occurred in three genes: DNMT3A, TET2, and ASXL1. The presence of a somatic mutation was associated with an increase in the risk of hematologic cancer (hazard ratio, 11.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.9 to 32.6), an increase in all-cause mortality (hazard ratio, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.1 to 1.8), and increases in the risks of incident coronary heart disease (hazard ratio, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.2 to 3.4) and ischemic stroke (hazard ratio, 2.6; 95% CI, 1.4 to 4.8). CONCLUSIONS Age-related clonal hematopoiesis is a common condition that is associated with increases in the risk of hematologic cancer and in all-cause mortality, with the latter possibly due to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At Wayne State University School of Medicine (WSU SOM), the Robert R. Frank Student Run Free Clinic (SRFC) is one place preclinical students can gain clinical experience. There have been no published studies to date measuring the impact of student-run free clinic (SRFC) volunteerism on clinical skills development in preclinical medical students. METHODS Surveys were given to first year medical students at WSU SOM at the beginning and end of Year 1 to assess perception of clinical skills, including self-confidence, self-reflection, and professionalism. Scores of the Year 1 Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) were compared between SRFC volunteers and non-volunteers. RESULTS There were a total of 206 (68.2%) and 80 (26.5%) survey responses at the beginning and end of Year 1, respectively. Of the 80 students, 31 (38.7%) volunteered at SRFC during Year 1. Statistically significant differences were found between time points in self-confidence (p < 0.001) in both groups. When looking at self-confidence in skills pertaining to SRFC, the difference between groups was statistically significant (p = 0.032) at both time points. A total of 302 students participated in the Year 1 OSCE, 27 (9%) of which were SRFC volunteers. No statistically significant differences were found between groups for mean score (p = 0.888) and established level of rapport (p = 0.394). CONCLUSIONS While this study indicated no significant differences in clinical skills in students who volunteer at the SRFC, it is a first step in attempting to measure clinical skill development outside of the structured medical school setting. The findings lend themselves to development of research designs, clinical surveys, and future studies to measure the impact of clinical volunteer opportunities on clinical skills development in future physicians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ezetimibe lowers plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by inhibiting the activity of the Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) protein. However, whether such inhibition reduces the risk of coronary heart disease is not known. Human mutations that inactivate a gene encoding a drug target can mimic the action of an inhibitory drug and thus can be used to infer potential effects of that drug. METHODS We sequenced the exons of NPC1L1 in 7364 patients with coronary heart disease and in 14,728 controls without such disease who were of European, African, or South Asian ancestry. We identified carriers of inactivating mutations (nonsense, splice-site, or frameshift mutations). In addition, we genotyped a specific inactivating mutation (p.Arg406X) in 22,590 patients with coronary heart disease and in 68,412 controls. We tested the association between the presence of an inactivating mutation and both plasma lipid levels and the risk of coronary heart disease. RESULTS With sequencing, we identified 15 distinct NPC1L1 inactivating mutations; approximately 1 in every 650 persons was a heterozygous carrier for 1 of these mutations. Heterozygous carriers of NPC1L1 inactivating mutations had a mean LDL cholesterol level that was 12 mg per deciliter (0.31 mmol per liter) lower than that in noncarriers (P=0.04). Carrier status was associated with a relative reduction of 53% in the risk of coronary heart disease (odds ratio for carriers, 0.47; 95% confidence interval, 0.25 to 0.87; P=0.008). In total, only 11 of 29,954 patients with coronary heart disease had an inactivating mutation (carrier frequency, 0.04%) in contrast to 71 of 83,140 controls (carrier frequency, 0.09%). CONCLUSIONS Naturally occurring mutations that disrupt NPC1L1 function were found to be associated with reduced plasma LDL cholesterol levels and a reduced risk of coronary heart disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Germline mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 underlie joint susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancers, but do not account for all cases. Genome wide association studies show little overlap between common variants associated with breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility, whereas rare variants in genes initially identified as breast cancer susceptibility genes also confer susceptibility to ovarian cancer cases, unselected for breast cancer. Ovarian and breast tumors also are observed in Peutz-Jeghers and possibly in Lynch syndrome. To further elucidate rare germline susceptibilities for breast and ovarian cancer, we have ascertained a unique cohort of 90 BRCA1/2-negative probands with a personal history of breast cancer and ovarian/fallopian tube/peritoneal cancer, unselected for family history. Cases are from the clinical genetics services of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and University of Pennsylvania. Analysis is ongoing using both targeted and exome sequencing approaches. Germline DNA of 69 cases will be subjected to whole exome sequencing. A total of 21 additional cases will undergo targeted sequencing for 28 genes (8 cases) and an extended panel of 54 genes (13 cases). The majority of ovarian cancers are high-grade serous epithelial ovarian carcinoma (n=51), in combination with invasive ductal or DCIS (n=36), invasive lobular (n=4), or unspecified (n=11) breast cancers. The remaining ovarian subgroups comprise other epithelial subtypes; endometrioid (n=9), clear cell (n=3), mucinous and low-grade serous (n=3) and non-epithelial (n=4) or unclassified (n=20), in combination with invasive ductal or DCIS (n=21), invasive lobular (n=5) or unspecified (n=13) breast cancers. Preliminary analysis of the targeted set of genes in 69 cases, reveals 43 predicted pathogenic coding or splice site variants; 17 of which are within PALB2, MSH2, MSH6, BARD1, FANCE, CDKN2A, TP53, SETD2, SIRT1, BRIP1, RAD50, and RAD51D and are not seen in dbSNP138, 1000 Genomes or Exome Variant Server ESP6500 and 26 variants with reported frequencies in MUTYH, MSH6, MLH1, FAM175A, RAD50, UIMC1, JARID2, PHF3, SIRT1, MRE11A, ATM, BRCA2, TP53BP1, CDH1, RAD51D, BRCA1, BABAM1 of less than 1% allele frequency in public databases. Analysis of these variants across and within histologic subtypes is being undertaken to look for specific genotype-phenotype correlations. Analysis of novel candidate genes and pathways by co-segregation, functional analysis, as well as external replication is underway to determine whether shared rare variants, mutated genes, or altered pathways confer cancer susceptibility in this cohort. Germline susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancer is heterogenous and remains a critical research and clinical question. Improved understanding of the susceptibility genetics will allow further examination of the utility of targeted cancer prevention strategies in those who are found to be at risk.
