Principal Investigator: Patrick F. Sullivan, MD, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA MeSH: Depressive Disorder, Major https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/gap/cgi-bin/study.cgi?study_id=phs000486 Our goals are to develop a comprehensive understanding of the genomics of transcription in a population based unselected sample and to discover DNA and RNA biomarkers for major depressive disorder (MDD). This work is essential to developing a more complete understanding of the biological basis of MDD, a common complex trait associated with considerable morbidity, mortality, and personal/societal cost. All biological samples have been collected from well-defined populations, and are now available. First, we conduct a "genetical genomics" or eQTL study of ~800 MZ and ~800DZ twin pairs. Each subject has been assayed for genome-wide SNPs and CNVs and gene expression from peripheral blood sampled under standardized conditions. We determine the genetic architecture (genetic and non-genetic proportions of variance via twin analyses) for every transcript, and the genome-wide associations (i.e., SNP-transcript eQTL pairs). These analyses will be expanded to consider transcriptional modules. The key deliverable is a detailed catalogue of the general and specific architecture of transcription plus raw intensity files. Second, we seek to discover DNA and RNA biomarkers relevant to MDD, capitalizing on the results of a large MDD study with repeated clinical and biological assessments; we have previously shown that PB is a reasonable proxy for CNS expression and employ an advanced modelling framework: (a) Using baseline data, we identify biomarkers for MDD by comparing ~1000 controls with ~1400 MDD cases via comparisons of SNP, CNV, expression transcripts, and transcriptional modules. (b) Using longitudinal data, we contrast gene expression signatures assessed at baseline and two years later in ~200 controls and ~500 MDD cases.

Principal Investigator: Barbara K. Lipska, PhD, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA MeSH: Schizophrenia,Anxiety Disorders,Autism Spectrum Disorder,Bipolar Disorder,Control Groups,Feeding and Eating Disorders,Depressive Disorder, Major,Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder,Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic,Tic Disorders,Williams Syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/gap/cgi-bin/study.cgi?study_id=phs000979 This postmortem study examines molecular, genetic and epigenetic signatures in the brains of hundreds of subjects with or without mental disorders conducted by the DIRP NIMH Human Brain Collection Core (HBCC). The brain tissues are obtained under protocols approved by the CNS IRB (NCT00001260), with the permission of the next-of-kin (NOK) through the Offices of the Chief Medical Examiners (MEOs) in the District of Columbia, Northern Virginia and Central Virginia. Additional samples were obtained from the University of Maryland Brain and Tissue Bank (contracts NO1-HD-4-3368 and NO1-HD-4-3383) (http://www.medschool.umaryland.edu/btbank/ and the Stanley Medical Research Institute (http://www.stanleyresearch.org/brain-research/). Clinical characterization, neuropathological screening, toxicological analyses, and dissections of various brain regions were performed as previously described (Lipska et al. 2006; PMID: 16997002). All patients met DSM-IV criteria for a lifetime Axis I diagnosis of psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder and major depression. Controls had no history of psychiatric diagnoses or addictions. *SNP array:* Array-based genotyping was performed on most samples published in this collection. The number of SNPs assayed via Illumina chips varied between 650,000 and 5 Million. Cerebellar tissue was generally used for genotyping studies. table width="481" border="1" tbody tr td width="64" align="center" strong#/strong /td td width="275" strongDiagnosis/strong /td td width="57" align="center" strongSNP Array/strong /td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"1/td td width="275"Anxiety Disorder/td td width="57" align="center"1/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"2/td td width="275"Autism Spectrum Disorder/td td width="57" align="center"13/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"3/td td width="275"Bipolar Disorder/td td width="57" align="center"114/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"4/td td width="275"Control/td td width="57" align="center"387/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"5/td td width="275"Eating Disorder (ED)/td td width="57" align="center"2/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"6/td td width="275"Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)/td td width="57" align="center"186/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"7/td td width="275"Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/td td width="57" align="center"5/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"8/td td width="275"Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)/td td width="57" align="center"0/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"9/td td width="275"Schizophrenia/td td width="57" align="center"220/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"10/td td width="275"Other/td td width="57" align="center"7/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"11/td td width="275"Tic Disorder/td td width="57" align="center"3/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"12/td td width="275"Undetermined/td td width="57" align="center"1/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"13/td td width="275"Williams Syndrome/td td width="57" align="center"2/td /tr /tbody /table Table: *Numbers of samples in each diagnostic category*. DNA extraction: 45-80 mg of cerebellar tissue was pulverized for DNA extractions. The QIAamp DNA mini Kit (Qiagen) method was employed for tissue DNA extraction. The tissue was initially lysed using Tissue Lyser (Qiagen) and extractions were accomplished according to manufacturer's protocol. The DNA was captured in 500uL elution buffer. The concentrations were measured using Thermo Scientific's NanoDrop 1000/NanoDrop ONE. The mean yield was 128.85 uG (+/- 79.48), the mean ratio of 260/280 was 1.87 (+/- 0.105), and the mean ratio of 260/230 was 2.48 (+/-1.75). Genotyping methods: Three types of Illumina Beadarray chips were used: HumanHap650Y, Human1M-Duo, and HumanOmni5M-Quad (San Diego, California). The genotyping was done according to the manufacturer's protocol (Illumina Proprietary, Catalog # WG-901-5003, Part # 15025910 Rev.A, June 2011). Approximately, 400ng DNA was used and each DNA sample was QC tested for 260/280 ratio by nanodrop and DNA band intactness on 2% agarose gel. Briefly, the samples were whole-genome amplified, fragmented, precipitated and resuspended in appropriate hybridization buffer. Denatured samples were hybridized on prepared Bead Array Chips. After hybridization, the Bead Chip oligonucleotides were extended by a single fluorescent labeled base, which was detected by fluorescence imaging with an Illumina Bead Array Reader, iScan. Normalized bead intensity data obtained for each sample were loaded into the Illumina Genome Studio (Illumina, v.2.0.3) with cluster position files provided by Illumina, and fluorescence intensities were converted into SNP genotypes. *Microarray:* We generated RNA expression data using array technology for psychiatric subjects compared to non-psychiatric subjects as controls. We used tissues from three different brain regions i.e. hippocampus, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and dura mater for a large cohort of individuals (total number 552 subjects for hippocampus, 800 for DLPFC and 146 for dura). Total RNA was extracted from ~100 mg of tissue using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer's protocol. RNA quality and quantity were examined using the Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Inc) and NanoDrop (Thermo Scientific, Inc), respectively. Samples with RNA integrity number (RIN) 5 were excluded. Affymetrix 3'IVT express kit protocols (Affymetrix, Inc. catalog#902416) were used to generate the Biotin labeled cRNAs. The Illumina hybridization cocktail containing 2 micrograms of biotin labeled cRNAs was hybridized to the Illumina HumanHT-12_V4 Beadchips. The chips were washed and stained using the standard Illumina protocols and reagents. The Illumina BeadChip Scanner was used to scan the arrays. Gene expression intensities were extracted using the Illumina GenomeStudioV2011.1 software. table width="481" border="1" tbody tr td width="64" align="center" strong#/strong /td td width="275" strongDiagnosis/strong /td td width="57" align="center" strongDLPFC/strong /td td width="47" align="center" strongHippo/strong /td td width="39" align="center" strongDura/strong /td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"1/td td width="275"Anxiety Disorder/td td width="57" align="center"1/td td width="47" align="center"0/td td width="39" align="center"0/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"2/td td width="275"Autism Spectrum Disorder/td td width="57" align="center"14/td td width="47" align="center"6/td td width="39" align="center"0/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"3/td td width="275"Bipolar Disorder/td td width="57" align="center"90/td td width="47" align="center"49/td td width="39" align="center"0/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"4/td td width="275"Control/td td width="57" align="center"336/td td width="47" align="center"270/td td width="39" align="center"75/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"5/td td width="275"Eating Disorder (ED)/td td width="57" align="center"2/td td width="47" align="center"1/td td width="39" align="center"0/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"6/td td width="275"Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)/td td width="57" align="center"144/td td width="47" align="center"87/td td width="39" align="center"0/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"7/td td width="275"Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/td td width="57" align="center"5/td td width="47" align="center"3/td td width="39" align="center"0/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"8/td td width="275"Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)/td td width="57" align="center"6/td td width="47" align="center"0/td td width="39" align="center"0/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"9/td td width="275"Schizophrenia/td td width="57" align="center"192/td td width="47" align="center"125/td td width="39" align="center"71/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"10/td td width="275"Other/td td width="57" align="center"5/td td width="47" align="center"6/td td width="39" align="center"0/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"11/td td width="275"Tic Disorder/td td width="57" align="center"3/td td width="47" align="center"3/td td width="39" align="center"0/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"12/td td width="275"Undetermined/td td width="57" align="center"1/td td width="47" align="center"1/td td width="39" align="center"0/td /tr tr td width="64" align="center"13/td td width="275"Williams Syndrome/td td width="57" align="center"2/td td width="47" align="center"1/td td width="39" align="center"0/td /tr /tbody /table Table: *Numbers of samples in each diagnostic category*. *RNA-Seq of Dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex:* All brains were collected and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortical (DLPFC) samples dissected at the HBCC, DIRP, NIMH.

This study generates epigenetic data using sequencing of DNA after chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-Seq) for marks H3K4me3 and H3K27ac in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) specimens were dissected from right or left hemisphere of frozen coronal slabs. The study was funded by the DIRP, NIMH under contract (#HHSN 271201400099C) with Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai,1106402 One Gustave L. Levy Place, Box 3500, New York NY 10029,6574. Chromatin precipitation, library preparation and sequencing were performed under contract at Icahn School of Medicine. The Common Mind Consortium (CMC) provided project management support. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays for histone marks H3K4me3 and H3K27ac were carried out using Native ChIP. Micrococcal Nuclease (MNase) (Sigma, N3755) treatment was used to digest chromatin into mononucleosomes. The following antibodies were used for chromatin pull-down: anti-H3K4me3 (Cell Signaling, Cat# 9751BC, lot 7) and anti-H3K27ac (Active Motif, Cat# 39133, Lot # 31814008). Histone modification-enriched genomic DNA fragments were recovered using Protein A/G magnetic beads (Thermo Scientific, 88803-88938 or Millipore 16-663), and then washed, eluted, and treated with RNAse A and proteinase K. Final ChIP DNA products were isolated using phenol-chloroform extraction followed by ethanol precipitation. The efficiency of each ChIP assay was validated using Qubit concentration measurement and qPCR for positive (GRIN2B, DARPP32) and negative (HBB) control genomic regions. Only ChIP assays that passed quality control were further processed for library preparation and sequencing; this included ChIP DNA that was not detectable on Qubit but showed a good signal and expected enrichment patterns in qPCR. table width="291" border="1" tbody tr td width="64" align="center" strong/strong /td td colspan="3" width="153" align="center" strongHISTONE_MARK/strong /td td width="73" align="center" strong/strong /td /tr tr td width="64" align="center" /td td colspan="2" width="77" align="center" strongH3K27ac/strong /td td width="77" align="center" strongH3K4me3/strong /td td width="73" align="center" strongInput/strong /td /tr tr td width="64" strongBipolar/strong /td td width="73" align="center"56/td td colspan="2" width="80" align="center"4/td td width="73" align="center" strong7/strong /td /tr tr td width="64" strongControl/strong /td td width="73" align="center"158/td td colspan="2" width="80" align="center"11/td td width="73" align="center"24/td /tr tr td width="64" strongSchizophrenia/strong /td td width="73" align="center"79/td td colspan="2" width="80" align="center"11/td td width="73" align="center"12/td /tr /tbody /table Table: *Numbers of individuals in each assay grouped by histone mark or input*.

Principal Investigator: Richard M. Weinshilboum, MD, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA MeSH: Major Depressive Disorder https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/gap/cgi-bin/study.cgi?study_id=phs000670 This pharmacogenomic study focused on the response of patients with MDD to an 8-week course of treatment with citalopram or escitalopram. Briefly, clinical assessments and research assessments were performed at each study visit as summarized in Table 1. Many patients continued on antidepressant medication after the 8 week study. *Table 1*: Study timeline and patient contacts. table border="1" tr thWeek/th thConsent/Med Hx/th thWrite Rx/th thSI Qx/th thSCID/th thHRS-D17/th thQIDSC16/th thCGI-I/th /tr tr td0/td tdSC/td tdRC/td tdRC/td tdSC/td tdSC/td tdSC/td td/td /tr tr td4/td td/td tdRC/td tdRC/td td/td tdSC/td tdSC/td tdRC/td /tr tr td8/td td/td tdRC/td tdRC/td td/td tdSC/td tdSC/td tdRC/td /tr /table HRS-D17=Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, QIDS-C16=Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology, CGI-I=Clinical Global Impression-Improvement, SCID=Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV, SC=Study Coordinator, RC=Research Clinician. **Enrollment and baseline assessment.** Upon initial intake, the Study Coordinator (SC) obtained informed consent as well as clinical and demographic information, including history of bone marrow or liver transplant or blood transfusion within the previous 6 weeks, and prior history of treatment during the current major depressive episode. The SC completed the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID), the HRS-D17 (17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression) and the QIDS-C16 (Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology) and reviewed the inclusion/exclusion criteria. After review with the Research Clinician (RC) and when appropriate, after a negative pregnancy test, the SC invited the subject to participate in the study if entry criteria were met. If the subject agreed, he/she received treatment according to the study protocol. **Treatment schedule.** Participants selected for inclusion in the study were seen at weeks 0, 4, and 8. The appropriate treatment antidepressant (citalopram or escitalopram) was determined following discussion between the patient and RC concerning medical, financial, and insurance considerations. The study medication citalopram was given in tablet or liquid form, depending on the patient's need. A fixed-flexible dose schedule was employed with the possibility of a dose escalation. In particular, the initial dose of citalopram was 20 mg and escitalopram was 10 mg. This dose was increased to 40 mg and 20 mg, respectively, after 4 weeks if the subject had a score of /= 6 on the QIDS-C16 and the RC concluded that the subject could tolerate the increase. If necessary, dose was reduced at the discretion of the RC. The importance of medication compliance was discussed with the subject, and subjects were asked to bring in the medication at each visit for the purpose of counting remaining pills to assess compliance. Participants may have had an abbreviated course of therapy if they were clearly intolerant of the drug or failed to respond to a 40 mg dose of citalopram or a 20 mg dose of escitalopram. They then received standard treatment from a primary physician or psychiatrist with different medications and/or therapeutic modalities (e.g. psychotherapy). Special attention was given to subjects with suicidal ideation. Those subjects were offered additional appointments as needed to ensure their safety. Participants were also contacted by telephone at week 1 and week 2 by the Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) or other study personnel to ensure medication compliance and patient safety. The CNS was supervised by the study psychiatrist and principal investigator and deferred to the physician's judgment as needed. The SC was trained to notify the RC at the time of the clinical visits or the phone interviews if the subject endorsed any suicidal ideation or plans. For those subjects who were unable to attend the follow-up visits as scheduled, the patient was contacted by phone to complete the HRS-D17/QIDS-C16. The participant was also asked to return to the clinic to complete a final blood draw for the study. **Adjunctive and concurrent medications.** Adjunctive treatments were those used to manage transient associated symptoms (e.g., insomnia) or transient or longer-term medication side effects (e.g., sexual dysfunction). Adjunctive treatments that were not used to treat depression were allowed during the study. However, drugs in the exclusion criteria for this study were not used as adjunctive therapies. Subjects were allowed to participate in the study while receiving concurrent medications for general medical conditions as long as there was no contraindication to use while taking citalopram or escitalopram. **Drug efficacy phenotype evaluation.** The change in QIDS-C16 score and change in HRS-D17 score were used as the major research outcome measures to assess drug response. At each clinical research visit, the RC also completed the Clinician Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) scale. For the primary genome-wide association analyses, dichotomous outcome variables, remission and response, were defined based on the QIDS-C16 last visit score. Remission was defined as a QIDS-C16 score of 5 or less, while response was defined as at least a 50% reduction in the QIDS-C16 score from baseline. **Specimen collection.** Specimen collections were obtained by the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) at St. Mary's Hospital (SMH). Subjects had blood drawn on an outpatient basis at GCRC-SMH on three separate occasions - baseline (0), week 4 and week 8 visits. Prior to sample collection, date and time of last dose of study medication was gathered at the 4 and 8 week visits. For those patients who were unable to complete the regularly scheduled visits, a dismissal blood draw was requested. GCRC then shipped samples to Mayo Clinic's Biospecimens Accessioning and Processing Lab. **Genotyping and biomarker assays.** DNA from 529 patients was genotyped by the RIKEN Center for Genomic Medicine (Yokohama, Japan) using Illumina Human610-Quad BeadChips (Illumina, San Diego, CA). The study also included the determination of plasma drug levels at weeks 4 and 8, and metabolite levels at baseline and weeks 4 and 8 for a subset of subjects. The primary genome-wide association study based on these data, which includes a summary of the protocol, subject description, selection of subjects for genetic analyses, and definitions of clinical outcomes, was published in the Pharmacogenomics Journal (Ji et al., 2012).
