Genome File Paths and Types

For every participant (marked by Participant ID):

  • All the different file types and subtypes received from Illumina (various types of VCF, CSVs, report PDF, genotyping report, CAM, various index files – e.g. BAM index, genotyping VCF index), with respective:
  • Path and full path to the file and the name of the file
  • Delivery date, delivery ID and platekey (see above definitions)

Sequencing Report

  • Participant is marked by Participant ID and has corresponding delivery ID. For each one, BAM file size (BAM size) and creation date (BAM date); date the genome was delivered (Delivery Date); version of Illumina pipeline used, i.e. v2 or v4 to process and analyse sequence data (Delivery Version); and the genome build (reference genome version 37 / 38)
  • Also a sequence number, QC / intake status (passed / upload failed)
  • Also sample type (CA tumour, CA germline, Rare Diseases) and platekey (Plate ID x Well ID – see those entries)

Domain Assignment

  • Participant is marked by Participant ID and has corresponding disease type to which they were recruited (Recruited Disease Type); the GECIP domain to which the genome has been assigned (Domain); whether the participant’s data is, at dataset issue, under GECIP moratorium; and the date at which the moratorium ends
  • Also has Pedigree Family ID, the Genomics England family identifier assigned to a proband and their relatives

Tiering

For every participant (marked by Participant ID):

  • Biological relationship to the proband, phenotype to report variants for; proband’s father / mother affected (Y/N) and number of full brothers / sisters affected; penetrance
  • Panel name (of gene panel used from Panel App) and panel version – can be several different ones (e.g. 9 for Intellectual Disability, including Intellectual Disability)

=> Several different rows, one per panel but values that are participant-linked (above) are the same for each

  • For each variant / gene per panel (i.e. more rows): reference allele sequence and alternate allele sequence (as per vcf), chromosome and position; genotype (zygosity as per vcf e.g. alternate homozygous, heterozygous), genomic feature type (gene, transcript, regulatory region), type of consequence (e.g. missense variation, splice region variant, stop gained…) and mode of inheritance (e.g. biallelic or monoallelic paternally / maternally imprinted or x-linked bi-/monoallelic)
  • Tier (1/2/3) and event justification (why the variant would be reported, e.g. Tier + effect on protein + publications + de novo / simple recessive segregation filter…)
  • Also the ensembl ID of the genomic features (transcript used), the variant ID in dbSNP (per variant, if applicable), other gene IDs (HGNC), a report event ID (unique for each report event, i.e. per variant, within each report) and group of variants (for each group of variants that together could explain phenotype using inheritance mode)

Each participant is also linked back to Family ID and Sample ID

Data relating to samples:

Name of table / data view Description
clinic_sample Data describing the taking and handling of participant samples at the Genomic Medicine Centres, i.e. in the clinic, as well as the type of samples obtained. Because of the complexities of handling and managing tumour tissues samples in a clinical setting, there are many fields that are cancer-specific.

* date and time for sample taken
* reason no sample was sent (sample not taken, tumour ineligible, cellularity < 40% neoplastic cells, insufficient tumour post neoadjuvant, insufficient DNA, no cancer diagnosis, FFPE not well fixed / processed; necrosis > 20%, other)

only reason for not blood is that no tumour was sent or germline successfully sequenced previously, as blood should go together with tumour

* topographical tumour site (ICD or Snomed)
Excision margin * by how far margin was clear of tumour, or unknown
* macro-dissection for enrichment (yes / no) and comments
Descriptors of the sample, e.g. fixation date / time start and end (with comments) * number of biopsies / cores / blocks / scrolls / sections
* gauge of biopsy / core diameter / scroll or section thickness
* snap freezing time and date / time in formalin / fixing time (processing schedule – e.g. overnight, rapid run, etc.)
* type of fixative (for pre-processing) and prolonged sample storage method; tumour sample type for FFPE that DNA was extracted from
Whether Genomics England QCs passed * the GMC (or its LDP) that did the QC, the laboratory used for sample processing (as with the Laboratory Sample table)
* date and time when clinical QC test results were received by Genomics England

Clinic Sample Quality Check Result

For each clinical sample (also linked to Participant ID):

  • Type of QC test and corresponding value of test result (can be several – e.g. tumour content – medium; cellularity – medium; % necrosis – 0; Qubit – 30; Nanodrop OD 260/280 – 1.9; summary QC – pass)
  • Can go to laboratory sample table to check for product type or QCs, then to QC table

Rare Disease tables

Rare Disease data are presented at the level of Rare Disease families (families of probands), Rare Disease pedigrees and participants. Participants are individuals who have consented to be a part of the project with the expectation that a sample of their DNA will be obtained and their genome sequenced. Pedigree members are extended members of the proband’s family, which will include some participants as well as a number of other individuals who will have no contact with the project, have not consented, but for whom a small amount of data are recorded to allow a full picture of the proband’s extended family to be gathered.

All Rare Disease tables are prefixed by “Rare_diseases_” at the beginning of the table name.

Data at the Level of Rare Disease Families:

Name of Table / Data View Description
rare_diseases_family Data describing the families of rare disease probands participating in the 100,000 Genomes Project. It includes the family group type, the status of the family’s pre-interpretation clinical review and the settings that were chosen for the interpretation pipeline at the clinical review.

Rare Diseases Family

Each family tagged by locally-allocated identifier assigned to a proband and their relatives. Should be unique to this duo / trio within a GMC and is the mechanism for linking patients.

For each family:

The family group type * trio / duo with mother and / or father
* singleton
Family clinical review QC status codes and description * whether family has a) passed medical review and then b) deemed suitable for diagnostic interpretation
* GMC (or its LDP) at which the medical review happened and date and time of the participant medical review
Monogenic likelihood outdated setting because as per eligibility criteria, all families should like have monogenic disease basis
Non-penetrance suspected condition is known to be non-penetrant or pedigree shows potential non-penetrance (if yes, bioinformatics pipeline runs in incomplete penetrance mode rather than complete penetrance mode) – only after this is signalled at medical review

Data at the Level of Rare Diseases Pedigrees:

Name of Table / Data View Description
rare_diseases_pedigree Data describing the Rare Disease participants, linking pedigrees to probands and their family members.
rare_diseases_pedigree_member Data describing the Rare Disease pedigree members, similar to the data about each individual participant in the COMMON data view. It includes some additional data, such as the age of onset of predominant clinical features; data on links to other family members; as well as data collected only for Phenotypes.
