Abstract [en]

Despite rapid advances in whole-genome sequencing (WGS), translating genomic findings into individualized insights remains challenging. We present GenRiskPro, a clinical decision-support and research platform, which automates WGS variant calling, annotation, prioritization, and reporting to deliver actionable findings and facilitate precision wellness. (To test the GenRiskPro platform, log on to https://www.phenomeportal.org/dashboard using the following credentials: Username: user@test.com; Password: test.) GenRiskPro integrates rare and common variant prioritization in a unified pipeline and in-house database, enabling both rare and complex disease and trait association analyses. Variant reporting is supported via LongevityCloud, which features a web portal for clinicians to review, adjust, and authorize the return of results in tabular and PDF formats, alongside a mobile app with artificial intelligence (AI) integration for sequenced individuals. Case studies using Turkish (TR, n = 275) and Swedish (SW, n = 101) WGS data assessed platform performance and variant prioritization: (a) predefined gene panels yielded a 1.82% positive rate for actionable findings per American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) secondary findings guidelines; (b) phenotype-driven support diagnosed cases including muscular dystrophy and microcephaly; (c) cohort-level ClinVar reassessment identified potentially misclassified pathogenic variants; (d) rare variant burden analysis revealed enrichment in ABCA4 for TR and SMPD1 in SW; and (e) population analysis highlighted carrier differences in trait-associated SNPs (rs12913832 and rs4988235) and PGx variants (CYP2B64 and CYP2B66). GenRiskPro unifies databases, literature, web development, and AI for rapid, user-friendly genomic analysis and reporting, which fosters collaboration among hospitals, researchers, clinicians, and patients.

Abstract [en]

Accurate interpretation of genomic variants remains a major bottleneck in precision oncology, due in part to fragmented knowledge across databases and limited integration between clinical evidence and population-scale genomic datasets. Here we present OncoRisk, a stand-alone, user-friendly web server that unifies data from over ten oncogenic databases and seven large-scale pan-cancer cohorts, enabling rapid multi-database queries and network-based exploration of genomic variants, gene-gene interactions, and therapy associations. The platform features a semi-automated reporting workflow that generates comprehensive, patient-specific clinical reports from raw tissue sequencing data and categorizes variants into actionable tiers. For translational research, OncoRisk provides modules for data-driven exploration, allowing users to validate findings by interrogating mutation frequencies and clinical associations across real-world patient data. Furthermore, an integrated suite of analytical tools enables comprehensive, cohort-level investigations of mutational landscapes, prognostic biomarkers, and oncogenic signaling pathways. By providing a unified ecosystem that bridges curated knowledge with large-scale cohort data, OncoRisk serves as an effective catalyst for both discovery research and clinical application in oncology. OncoRisk is publicly available at https://www.phenomeportal.org/oncorisk.

Abstract [en]

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, yet its molecular etiology remains poorly understood. Recent advances in sequencing technology offer opportunities to uncover genetic and transcriptomic contributions to CHD. We performed an integrative multi-omics study on a pediatric CHD cohort (n=211) using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and paired whole-blood transcriptomics (n=100). WGS identified approximately 28 million variants, including 309 known pathogenic and 724 protein-loss-of-function (pLoF) variants. Within a curated CHD gene list, 5 patients carried known pathogenic variants in EVC, HSPA9, DNAH11, PTPN11, and FBN1. Rare-variant burden analysis through Fisher's exact tests identified a significant enrichment of damaging missense mutations in CHD cases, primarily affecting early embryonic programs such as pattern specification and heart morphogenesis. In contrast, blood transcriptomics highlighted systemic functional shifts, specifically the suppression of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and activation of interferon-mediated immune responses, reflecting downstream perturbations following developmental failure.

Crucially, multi-omics integration identified core drivers supported by multiple lines of evidence: a four-way intersection (literature, variant burden, eQTLs, and DEGs) highlighted COL6A2, PKD2, and PKD1L1, while three-way intersections identified key regulators like SALL4, GLI1, ANK3, and ALMS1. Furthermore, functional enrichment analysis specifically targeting the 626 genes overlapping between eGenes and DEGs revealed significant involvement in small GTPase-mediated signal transduction and cytoskeleton organization. These findings demonstrate that blood-based multi-omics can effectively capture cardiac-relevant regulatory signals, providing a non-invasive framework to elucidate the molecular landscape of CHD.
