e MERGE CLINICAL ANNOTATION WORKGROUP: Status &Accomplishments Co-Chairs: Gail Jarvik (KPW/UW) & Heidi Rehm (Partners/Broad) The Clinical Annotation work group will focus on activities that build consistency of approaches to the gene and variant interpretation across the eMERGE sequencing centers and study sites as well as support contribution to public knowledge bases. • Apply the ClinGen approach to gene-disease validity assessment to all genes on the eMERGE gene panel (including SNP genes), defining each associated condition and the strength of evidence • Develop consistency in variant interpretation approaches • Develop consensus on the most common clinically reportable variants in the eMERGE panel and whether to recommend return to patients • Facilitate regular ClinVar submissions for all variants interpreted for the eMERGE program • Work with the ROR/ELSI WG to develop an environment for ongoing discussion and sharing of challenging genes, cases and variants considered for return (prospective or retrospective) • Work jointly with the ROR/ELSI WG to gather feedback and develop consensus on standard language used in clinical reports • Lead publication summarizing incidental findings across the network (paper to be submitted shortly) √ √ √ ongoing √ √ √

e MERGE CLINICAL ANNOTATION WORKGROUP: Future Efforts Co-Chairs: Gail Jarvik (KPW/UW) & Heidi Rehm (Partners/Broad) Table: Penetrance order Network year 5 milestone 1: Expand the understanding of penetrance and the impact a variant has on clinical outcomes, using a variety of approaches including cascade testing and family history analyses. (Clinical Annotation & Genomics Workgroup): Collaborate to evaluate penetrance of P/LP variants in gene-disease pairs in participants NOT ascertained for a relevant phenotype. Aligned chart review for penetrance with that for outcomes using the same forms. Underway. Variant classification of variants with a higher probability of being reclassified across the clinically significant threshold (VUS/LP/P) • VUS-Favor Path : with potential to become LP CSGs identified a set of ~200 VUS-FP variants, a more frequent (>3Xs) subset of which have been shared (22 from LMM)/will be shared (<79 from Baylor) with sites for additional relevant clinical information from EHR data. Potential incorporation of functional data from available follow-up assays: • In vitro LDLR assay using plasma • BRCA 1/2 assay • Arrhythmia high throughout assays (SCN5A, KCNQ1, KCNE1) • Variants NOT reported (VUS and below): with potential to identify new reportable variants. CSGs are leveraging ClinVar data to identify variants that may be upgraded to LP/P. Baylor has prelim data showing >100 “newly pathogenic” in ClinVar but most of classifications were still only VUS by Baylor standards. • REPORTED Variants: with potential to be reclassified as VUS or below • Variants seen again and reanalyzed by CSGs: Prompt alerts in respective CSG reporting systems, consultation with sites for next steps wrt updated reports. • Variants NOT seen again: Comparison to ClinVar to identify any variants that should be reclassified. In progress

Variant bake-off 2 • Collected 160 “random variants” from sites • Next, distribute ~35 variants to each of 9 projects • Each variant interpreted by submitting project + 2 others • Blinded assignment of ACMG lines of evidence and interpretation • Use laboratory variant interpretation pipeline and sign-out process • Resolve discordance
e MERGE CLINICAL ANNOTATION WORKGROUP: Challenges & discussion points • What challenges has the WG faced competing Year 5 milestones? • Timeline of getting the genetic data back over time and late in grant cycle. Waiting for 6 month after return for outcomes data. • Communication, when incorporating penetrance analysis collection into outcomes forms, getting forms filled. • What can the Network help provide feedback on? • Sites can provide and verify penetrance questions for their respective outcomes form, and also define “non-responders” and “non-consenters”. • Are there any significant delays that may cause work to not be competed? • Initial technical issues with the forms and missing abstraction guides led to a delay in the completion of forms for several sites. e MERGE CLINICAL ANNOTATION WORKGROUP

eMERGE GENOMICS WORKGROUP: Status & Accomplishments Co-Chairs: Megan Roy-Puckelwartz (NU), Patrick Sleiman (CHOP) & David Crosslin (KPW/UW) • Manuscript detailing the genotyping and imputation of ~84,000 eMERGE subjects has been published in Genetic Epidemiology. • Merging and QC for ~15,000 (mostly Hispanic) are complete, bringing the total to ~105,000 imputed samples (data available) • There are multiple structural variation (SV) efforts ongoing in eMERGE. • The CC imputed the ~100k sample array data against a 1000Genomes SV reference set that contains both indels and larger events. • Includes ABO blood type calls. • Validating events against PennCNV calls; promising concordance. • Manuscript underway • These common events were validated against other orthogonal approaches including PennCNV and circular binary segmentation using B-allele frequency and log R ratio. • The eMERGE I (~18k) has already generated this data using PennCNV, and the Genomics Workgroup is leading efforts to secure more metadata (B-allele and log R-ratio) from eMERGE II and III sites. Patrick Sleiman and CHOP (along with the Genomics Workgroup) leads these efforts. • eMERGESeq data from the first ~15k subjects has been frozen, and the eMERGE CC has generated an ensemble-called multisample for discovery analyses. The entire ~25k is now available from the sequencing centers and realignment and variant calling has been completed by the CC. QC underway
e MERGE GENOMICS WORKGROUP: Future Efforts and Challenges Co-Chairs: Megan Roy-Puckelwartz (NU), Patrick Sleiman (CHOP) & David Crosslin (KPW/UW) Future efforts • The Genomics Workgroup has established a focus groups to help design the user interface and experience with the Electronic MEdical Records and GENomics Toolkit (eMERGENT), which will be built off the ideas surrounding the current SPHINX design. • The focus groups also include collaboration with the EHR Integration and Clinical Annotation Workgroups to provide FHIR CDS Hooks via the eMERGENT resource. • There will also be privacy security safeguards. • Three focus groups have taken place, with several more planned this summer • The Genomics Workgroup will assist CHOP and Vanderbilt with implementation of alternative methods of assessing penetrance and risk scores using Network-wide data. This will involve a collaboration with the Phenotyping Workgroup. • As always, the Genomics Workgroup will continue to emphasize manuscript submission and provide any and all necessary support for publication across the Network. • The Genomics eIII lessons learned manuscripts is in development Challenges • Collection of data from individual sites for CNV analysis • Defining clear discovery-based hypothesis • Analyzing all the data – not just the newest (we are looking at you PGRNSeq)

e MERGE Phenotyping WORKGROUP: Challenges & discussion points Co-Chairs: Wei-Qi Wei (Vanderbilt) & Chunhua Weng (Columbia) • Facts: • Small sample sizes in algorithm development has compromised the validation of phenotypes. • Low PPV results on select phenotypes have delayed implementation on select sites. • Inadequate notes from specialty has delayed validation of algorithm development. • Lessons Learned: • Implementation of electronic phenotypes requires significant local customization from three key perspectives: i.e., knowledge conversion, clause interpretation, and programming. • The implementation of OMOP CDM enables reuse, improves efficiency and reduces human efforts for phenotyping. • The concordance between the OMOP query and the original eMERGE query varied from perfect to mediocre due to various reasons including errors in the original query, errors in the OMOP query, changes in data, and heterogeneity in the databases. • Areas for feedback: • Potential areas for development of lessons learned manuscripts with other Workgroups. • Needs of shared standards, annotated corpora, and best practices for increasing NLP-based phenotype portability.
