Objectives/Goals: We describe the prevalence of individuals with household exposure to SARS-CoV-2, who subsequently report symptoms consistent with COVID-19, while having PCR results persistently negative for SARS-CoV-2 (S[+]/P[-]). We assess whether paired serology can assist in identifying the true infection status of such individuals. Methods/Study Population: In a multicenter household transmission study, index patients with SARS-CoV-2 were identified and enrolled together with their household contacts within 1 week of index’s illness onset. For 10 consecutive days, enrolled individuals provided daily symptom diaries and nasal specimens for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Contacts were categorized into 4 groups based on presence of symptoms (S[+/-]) and PCR positivity (P[+/-]). Acute and convalescent blood specimens from these individuals (30 days apart) were subjected to quantitative serologic analysis for SARS-CoV-2 anti-nucleocapsid, spike, and receptor-binding domain antibodies. The antibody change in S[+]/P[-] individuals was assessed by thresholds derived from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis of S[+]/P[+] (infected) versusS[-]/P[-] (uninfected). Results/Anticipated Results: Among 1,433 contacts, 67% had ≥1 SARS-CoV-2 PCR[+] result, while 33% remained PCR[-]. Among the latter, 55% (n = 263) reported symptoms for at least 1 day, most commonly congestion (63%), fatigue (63%), headache (62%), cough (59%), and sore throat (50%). A history of both previous infection and vaccination was present in 37% of S[+]/P[-] individuals, 38% of S[-]/P[-], and 21% of S[+]/P[+] (P<0.05). Vaccination alone was present in 37%, 41%, and 52%, respectively. ROC analyses of paired serologic testing of S[+]/P[+] (n = 354) vs. S[-]/P[-] (n = 103) individuals found anti-nucleocapsid data had the highest area under the curve (0.87). Based on the 30-day antibody change, 6.9% of S[+]/P[-] individuals demonstrated an increased convalescent antibody signal, although a similar seroresponse in 7.8% of the S[-]/P[-] group was observed. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Reporting respiratory symptoms was common among household contacts with persistent PCR[-] results. Paired serology analyses found similar seroresponses between S[+]/P[-] and S[-]/P[-] individuals. The symptomatic-but-PCR-negative phenomenon, while frequent, is unlikely attributable to true SARS-CoV-2 infections that go missed by PCR.

Objectives/Goals: In 2018, a novel analytic resource navigation process was developed at Duke University to connect potential collaborators, leverage resources, and foster a community of quantitative researchers and scientists. We provide information about how this process works along with guidance for academic medical centers to develop similar initiatives. Methods/Study Population: Quantitative and qualitative scientists with expertise in data science, biostatistics, epidemiology, and related fields play a critical role in data collection, study design, analysis, interpretation, and implementation. The analytic resource navigation process connects researchers with quantitative scientists and relies on strong institutional knowledge of methodological expertise, understanding of research goals, educating researchers, and ongoing evaluation to understand unmet needs. University staff serve as navigators to help researchers identify the needed expertise, find potential collaborators, and track outcomes. Duke University’s tracking system for this navigation process, implemented in 2019, underwent a nearly five-year evaluation (November 2019 – September 2024). Results/Anticipated Results: In the nearly five-year evaluation of the process, 1247 requests from 813 unique researchers were navigated with a success rate of 93.8%. A total of 323 requests (256 unique researchers) were navigated in year 1, 285 requests (239 unique researchers) in year 2, 210 requests (179 unique researchers) in year 3, and 247 requests (192 unique researchers) in year 4. In the current year (partial year 5, 11/1/2023 – 9/18/2024), 182 requests have been navigated (159 unique researchers). Unsuccessful linkages occurred in 35 requests (2.8%) and 42 requests (3.4%) were withdrawn. Among the cases of unsuccessful navigation, 26 failed due to effort (e.g., insufficient effort available to meet the researcher’s deadline), 2 failed due to lack of expertise at the institution, and 4 failed due to a lack of sufficient funding. Discussion/Significance of Impact: The navigation process provides a critical resource for researchers who need to develop collaborations and a method for institutions to understand collaboration needs. Implementation requires training knowledgeable navigators, maintaining updated information about quantitative and qualitative methodologists, and institutional support.

Objectives/Goals: The goal of this study is to resolve the complexity of the adipose precursor cells and identify potential therapeutic targets/mechanism to treat obesity, diabetes, cancer cachexia, and related metabolic conditions in both white and brown adipose tissues. Methods/Study Population: White and brown adipose precursor cells were isolated from neonatal P0 mice and expanded in culture for single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. Unsupervised machine learning was used to unbiasedly cluster and categorize sequenced cells. Differentially expressed genes were used to identify populations via pathway analysis. Populations were then validated with published datasets via integration, reference mapping, and module scoring to ensure our dataset is reflective of known literature. Then, white and brown datasets were combined and unbiasedly clustered. Finally, signaling inferences using CellChat was used to identify significant signals being sent to and received from each cluster based on ligand–receptor pairs. Results/Anticipated Results: ScRNAseq revealed 7 subclusters in both white and brown adipose tissues. Differential expression and trajectory inferences revealed that white and brown precursors develop into two distinct fates: committed adipogenic precursors (CAPs), where these cells will be mature lipid-laden adipocytes; or fibro-adipogenic precursors-like (FAPLs), where these cells preferably stay in a fibroblast-like, antiadipogenic phenotype. Integrating white and brown cells with subsequent reclustering reveals that white and brown FAPLs are highly similar to one another by being clustered together. Cell signaling inferences and pathway analysis reveal that white and brown FAPLs may participate in the regulation of adipogenesis and angiogenesis of the adipose tissue. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Our results demonstrated that brown and white precursor cells share a common regulatory subpopulation with similar gene expression profiles, highlighting a more interconnected regulatory landscape in adipose tissue than previously understood. These findings reveal novel mechanisms of systemic metabolism and provide new therapeutic targets.

Objectives/Goals: We aim to explore the associations of race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES): 1) with grip strength, walking speed, and comorbidity index cross-sectionally and 2) with the change in comorbidity index and mortality risk over four years of follow-up in cancer survivors. Both aims will examine the potential mediating role of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Methods/Study Population: This study includes 1,602 cancer survivors (mean age = 72 years, 10% Black, 54% female) from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a nationally representative U.S. sample followed for health outcomes until 2020. HRS measured CMV immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody levels (from blood samples), grip strength, and walking speed in 2016. We will apply linear regression to examine the associations of race/ethnicity and SES with grip strength, walking speed, and comorbidity index cross-sectionally and with the change in comorbidity index over four years of follow-up. We will apply Cox proportional hazard regression to examine the associations of race/ethnicity and SES with mortality over four years of follow-up. In all models, we will investigate the potential mediating role of CMV infection in these associations. Results/Anticipated Results: We expect that CMV infection mediates the associations of race/ethnicity and SES with age-related health outcomes, including muscle weakness (measured by grip strength), decreased functional performance (measured by walking speed), comorbidity index, and mortality in elderly cancer survivors. Discussion/Significance of Impact: If our hypothesis is confirmed, the findings may inform physicians to closely monitor CMV infection among cancer survivors from socially disadvantaged groups and apply treatment if needed. Several oral medications for CMV exist, and CMV vaccines are currently undergoing testing in clinical trials. This will make the treatment for CMV more accessible.

Objectives/Goals: This study aims to understand the prevalence of trauma in young adults and what sociodemographic factors influence trauma exposure and type of trauma. It also seeks to explore functional connectivity and neural network patterns associated with trauma by analyzing resting state magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Methods/Study Population: Sociodemographic data will be analyzed from participants aged 18–25 years, such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, and highest level of education completed. Trauma exposure will be assessed based on the DSM-5 criteria of trauma through phone screenings and clinical interviews. The data will be categorized based on trauma type and statistical analyses will be conducted to explore potential sociodemographic patterns related to trauma. Additionally, resting-state MRI data will be utilized to identify potential neural correlates of trauma exposure. Results/Anticipated Results: It is anticipated that sociodemographic factors such, race and ethnicity, and highest level of school completed may influence the likelihood of experiencing traumatic events. It is predicted that in the resting-state MRI analysis that there will be altered functional connectivity in trauma exposed young adults in regions such as the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex since those regions are implicated in emotional regulation and stress response. Some changes may also be seen in the default mode network and salience network. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Trauma exposure can alter neural circuitry, leading to emotional processing difficulties and heightened stress response, with lasting effects on mental health and brain development. Prevention efforts and targeted treatments can be guided by identification of affected brain networks and sociodemographic factors that increase trauma risk.

Objectives/Goals: Gait performance (GP) and global cognitive functions (GCF) are both critical for maintaining independence and quality of life in senior adults. Recent studies have explored the potential link between GP and GCF, encompassing executive functions. Methods/Study Population: PRISMA guidelines will govern this systematic review. This systematic review synthesizes published research from 2000 to 2024, including peer-reviewed articles, pilot studies, and randomized controlled trials, to examine the relationship between GP (how a person walks and stands) and GCP in older adults. The exclusion criteria will be based on studies focused on physical activities unrelated to balance, meta-analysis, and systematic reviews and those published in languages other than English or Spanish. Results/Anticipated Results: Our preliminary data indicate that gait, or walking speed, is significantly correlated with GCP in older adults, with slower walking associated with poorer global cognition. Specifically, gait speed during dual-task walking shows a strong correlation with working memory (p < .001) and processing speed (p < .05) in individuals aged over 60 years. Gender differences were observed, with women over 80 walking slower than men over 85 years, who walked faster, and women exhibited poorer global cognition than men. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Overall, a gait slowing between 0.68 and 1.1 m per second could predict a marker for the risk of developing dementia, indicating that monitoring gait speed in older adults may provide early warning signs, allowing for timely interventions. Enhancing GP and GCF can improve the quality of life and independence in older adults. Acknowledgments: Research supported by NIH: Award Number HCTRECD R25MD007607 from the NIMHD.

Objectives/Goals: Unsafe sleep practices contribute to sleep-related infant mortality, a leading cause of preventable sudden unexplained infant death (SUID). Infant illness represents a risk for SUID. However, the mechanism behind this increased risk is unknown. The objective of this study was to measure changes to safe sleep practices during infant illness. Methods/Study Population: We performed a prospective cohort survey study of infants aged 0–12 months presenting to the pediatric emergency department. We assessed sleep practices prior to illness, during illness, and 2 weeks and 1 month following illness. We assessed adherence to American Academy of Pediatrics safe sleep recommendations at each point in time. Wilcoxon sign rank test was used to examine changes between time points. Regression models compared caregivers who reported a change to unsafe sleep practices with those who did not. Results/Anticipated Results: Of enrolled participants (n = 142), 110 (77%) completed all three follow-up surveys. For those with complete follow-up, 62.4% were female, 60.3% were Black, non-Hispanic, 25.7% were White, non-Hispanic. The most common chief complaint was respiratory illness (35.7%), followed by fever (22.7%), and 70.3% of patients were discharged home. Across all sleep behaviors surveyed, caregivers reported, on average, a 12% change to unsafe sleep practices during illness. These changes were sustained at the 2-week and 1-month follow-ups. Factors associated with a change to unsafe sleep practice were parental age. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Over 10% of infants experienced a change to unsafe sleep practices during illness, sustained at 2-week and 1-month follow-ups. This may explain the association of infant illness with SUID. Interventions promoting safe sleep adherence during illness are key to decreasing sleep-related infant mortality.

Objectives/Goals: In neurological animal research, statistical misapplication may lead to overoptimism in a therapy’s potential for successful translation. This pilot study investigated whether human clinical trials that fail have higher prevalence of statistical misapplication in preceding animal experiments, compared to human trials that succeed. Methods/Study Population: Phase 2 clinical trials for 3 neurological conditions were identified on ClinicalTrials.gov and classified as successful or failed based on advancement to Phase 3 and/or preplanned efficacy test results. PRISMA guideline methods were used to systematically search for preclinical animal experiments (same indication and intervention) preceding the start of the human trial. Data were gathered from animal articles by collectors blinded to human trial outcome and included items describing reporting transparency, experimental design and sample sizes, and statistical tests applied. Statistical mistakes were coded based on mismatch between test and design. Rates of mistakes were compared between articles preceding successful and non-successful human trials using weighted point estimates and 95% confidence interval. Results/Anticipated Results: The final sample included 24 trials (16 successful) and 70 associated animal studies. Transparency was poor, with infrequent reporting of group allocation method (39%), sample sizes adequate to evaluate attrition (Discussion/Significance of Impact: Statistical misapplication is common in animal research, and this pilot study has demonstrated that preclinical statistical mistakes may indeed occur more frequently prior to failed human trials. Mistakes and lack of transparency may lead to overoptimism in preclinical experimental findings, with consequences for subsequent human translation.

Objectives/Goals: Objective: To examine whether familial longevity modifies the relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in older adults. Goals include assessing the impact of familial longevity on 1) CVD prevalence, 2) CVD incidence, and 3) mortality among individuals with CKD. Methods/Study Population: An observational, longitudinal study. We examined 1,236 Ashkenazi Jewish adults (ages 65–94) from the LonGenity cohort. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was the independent variable, calculated using the CKD-EPI equation 2021. CVD prevalence, incidence, and mortality were our outcomes. CVD was defined as a composite of MI, PCI, CABG, or stroke. Exceptional longevity was defined as living past 95 years, grouping participants into OPEL (offspring of parents with exceptional longevity, n = 576) and OPUS (offspring of parents with usual survival, n = 604). Stratified logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models assessed eGFR’s association with CVD, testing effect modification through eGFR × OPEL interaction terms. Median follow-up was 5.5 years. Results/Anticipated Results: A significant association was observed between eGFR and CVD prevalence in OPUS, but not in OPEL. No significant link was found between eGFR and CVD incidence or mortality in either group. Familial longevity did not modify the association between eGFR and CVD prevalence, nor the composite of CVD incidence and mortality, as the interaction term was nonsignificant. The LonGenity cohort’s health status may have influenced these results due to selection and survivor biases, limiting generalizability. Further research is needed to clarify familial longevity’s role in kidney function and cardiovascular outcomes. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Our findings suggest that kidney function, as measured by eGFR, may be associated differently with cardiovascular risk in those with and without familial longevity. The study highlights potential limits of familial longevity in modifying CVD risk associated with CKD, underscoring the need for tailored CVD prevention strategies.

Objectives/Goals: The neighborhoods children grow up in are critical drivers of social, emotional, and cognitive development. This study utilized factor scores of environment, education, and socioeconomic variables in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (ABCD) and its association with cognitive functioning in youth. Methods/Study Population: This study used ABCD (n  =  9,543) linked external data, cognitive performance, and self-reported data from youth (ages 9–10) and their caregivers. We utilized four factor scores of the Child Opportunity Index 2.0 (COI), including socioeconomic attainment, poverty, neighborhood enrichment, and child education. Furthermore, this study investigated the association between the COI factors and youth cognitive functioning via the NIH Toolbox. Covariates included age, sex, county level crime rates, perceptions of neighborhood threat, parent education, and family income; site and family relationship were held as random effects. Results/Anticipated Results: Increased Socioeconomic Attainment and Child Education factor scores were distinctly associated with increased cognitive performance across all subscales and composite scores that include aspects of overall cognitive ability, executive functioning, and learning and memory. Increased poverty factor scores were significantly associated with decreased cognitive performance across all substances and composite scores. Finally, increased neighborhood enrichment factor scores were significantly associated with increased oral reading recognition task scores only and no other cognitive task. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Findings suggest distinct dimensions of neighborhood opportunity associated with aspects of cognition. The present study can help to inform public health efforts and policy on improving modifiable built and natural environmental structures that may aid in supporting cognitive development.

Objectives/Goals: The objective of this project was to develop electronic health record-based algorithms, or computational phenotypes, for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL) infections based on public health surveillance case definitions. Methods/Study Population: We analyzed electronic health records (EHR) from a retrospective cohort of patients within the University of Colorado Health System. We detected CRE and ESBL infections using a set of string-matching algorithms for bacterial organism, specimen source, and antibiotic susceptibility test results. Infections were limited to the first case of each organism per patient in a 30-day period. We conducted manual chart review on a subset of cases and non-cases for validation purposes. We then performed a descriptive analysis to examine demographic characteristics of patients with CRE and ESBL infections including sex, age, infection type, and organism. All analyses were conducted using R statistical software. Results/Anticipated Results: There were 634 CRE infections from 2013 to 2023, with the majority from urine (n = 448, 70.7%) or blood specimens (n = 56, 8.8%). Over half of CRE case-patients were female (n =  362, 57.1%). The mean age was 65.0 years. Most isolates were identified as Enterobacter cloacae complex species (n = 353, 55.6%). There was a total of 4,363 ESBL infections from 2019 to 2023, and most were urine (n = 3,550, 81.4%) or blood specimens (n = 457, 10.5%). Most ESBL case-patients were female (n = 3,030, 69.4%) with a mean age of 61.2 years. The majority of isolates were identified as Escherichia coli (n = 2,932, 67.2%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 368, 8.4%). Validation results are pending, including sensitivity and specificity of the algorithms. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Demographic characteristics of CRE and ESBL case-patients were similar to findings from traditional public health surveillance. The algorithms will supplement traditional surveillance methods, inform future epidemiological research using EHR data, as well as contribute to the development of standardized EHR-based definitions for CRE and ESBL.

Objectives/Goals: We aimed to discover treatment candidates for uterine fibroids, a common benign tumor with adverse impacts on quality of life. Repurposing already approved medications for fibroids can expedite treatment option expansion. Using genetic proxies, we identified novel fibroid drug candidates and estimated their effect on risk of fibroid diagnosis. Methods/Study Population: We performed a genetically predicted gene expression (GPGE) analysis using S-PrediXcan and GTEx tissue models with multi-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics of fibroids (cases  =  74,294, controls  =  465). There were 81 genes significantly associated with fibroid risk. Querying drug–gene interaction databases identified 56 approved medications that target these genes, including two antihypertensives, hydralazine, and spironolactone. Using independent multi-ancestry GWAS summary statistics (N  =  635,969) for systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), we conducted GPGE analyses. Blood pressure (exposure) and fibroids (outcome) GPGE summary statistics in the same tissues were used for two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to proxy medication effects. Results/Anticipated Results: GPGE analyses identified hydralazine/tumor protein P53 (TP53) activity and spironolactone/thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRB) activity as drug-gene candidate pairs. Both drugs increase gene activity of their paired gene. Increased TP53 expression was associated with SBP in four tissues (exposure). The MR results indicated hydralazine use, proxied by increased TP53 expression, may reduce fibroid risk by 42% per standard deviation of gene expression (odds ratio [OR]  =  0.58, p  =  1.43E-12). Increased THRB expression was associated with DBP in eight tissues and were included in the MR (exposure). The MR results suggest spironolactone use, proxied by increased THRB expression, may reduce fibroid risk by 23% per standard deviation of gene expression (OR  =  0.77, p  = 5.94E-6). Discussion/Significance of Impact: We provide biologically plausible evidence for repurposing hydralazine and spironolactone for reducing risk of fibroid diagnosis. Repurposing these hypertension medications could provide novel preventative treatments for fibroids, particularly for individuals disproportionately affected by both conditions.

Objectives/Goals: This systematic review aims to identify and synthesize evidence on the barriers and facilitators impacting the implementation of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in clinical practice, enhancing understanding for improved adoption and efficacy. Methods/Study Population: This systematic review follows PRISMA guidelines to identify relevant literature on barriers and facilitators to TMS in North America. We conducted a comprehensive search of databases including PubMed, Scopus, and PsycINFO, targeting studies published from 2000 onward. Eligible studies include qualitative and quantitative research focusing on adults aged 18 years and older in the USA and Canada. Two independent reviewers screened titles, abstracts, and full texts, extracting data on barriers and facilitators related to TMS implementation. Results/Anticipated Results: We anticipate identifying a diverse range of barriers and facilitators related to TMS implementation in North America. Expected barriers may include limited clinician knowledge, patient resistance, and logistical challenges in clinical settings. Facilitators could encompass supportive institutional policies, clinician training, and positive patient outcomes. The synthesis of findings will highlight key themes, guiding future research and practice. We aim to produce actionable recommendations for stakeholders, ultimately enhancing the effective integration of TMS in clinical care for adult populations. Discussion/Significance of Impact: This review will provide crucial insights into the barriers and facilitators of TMS implementation, informing clinicians, policymakers, and researchers. By highlighting actionable strategies, it aims to enhance TMS accessibility and efficacy, ultimately improving patient outcomes and advancing neurotherapeutic practices in North America.

Objectives/Goals: Port-site metastasis (PSM), defined as the spread of malignancies to the abdominal wall at the site of surgical ports, poses a significant challenge in cancer management. The objective of this summary overview is to describe the prevalence of and risk factors associated with PSM in various gynecological cancers after laparoscopic surgery. Methods/Study Population: Study design: Systematic Review and Meta analysis Search strategy: All international databases, without language limitations, from January 1990 to December 2023. Inclusion/exclusion criteria: Cohort, case–control, or cross-sectional observational studies reporting the frequency of, or risk factors for PSM in young and middle-aged women will be included (using the PRISMA checklist). Data extraction: two reviewers independently extracting pertinent data (using the STROBE checklist). Quality assessment and risk of bias: The quality of each study will be assessed according to the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Studies. Results/Anticipated Results: This meta-analysis of 36 studies evaluated the proportion of successes across various populations, with a pooled proportion of 0.02 (95% CI: 0.01–0.02) based on a random-effects model. Significant heterogeneity was identified (I²  =  88.12%), reflecting notable variability between studies. Despite this, the overall effect was statistically significant (p  =  0.00). A subgroup analysis will be conducted to explore potential sources of heterogeneity, considering factors such as cancer stage, diagnostic methods, surgical approach (conventional or robotic), and study type (retrospective/prospective). Discussion/Significance of Impact: By identifying the prevalence of, and the risk factors for, PSM, this study will better inform personalized treatment approaches, surveillance strategies, and surgical decision-making to improve patient-related outcomes and long-term survival in women with gynecological malignancies.

Objectives/Goals: Patients with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) face care coordination challenges and poorer health outcomes. Outpatient telehealth may be an effective way to enhance MCC patient care given the need for multiple visits and specialists. This study seeks to describe telehealth utilization between 2013 and 2023 in Arkansas. Methods/Study Population: We utilized the Arkansas All-Payer Claims Database (APCD) to identify patients diagnosed with high-prevalence MCCs comprising diabetes with comorbid hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or asthma. We then measured telehealth utilization defined as any claim associated with a telehealth modifier code, a place of service code defining the service as occurring in the patient’s home, or remote patient monitoring. Finally, we created payer-specific (e.g., commercial or Medicaid) yearly measures of the number of any telehealth claims among MCC patients divided by the number of MCC patients for that year. Linear regression was used to measure the difference in utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e., 2020–2023) versus prior to the pandemic (i.e., 2013–2019). Results/Anticipated Results: Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic era was associated with an increase of telehealth utilization among commercial patients by 1.01 telehealth claims per MCC patient (95% CI: 0.39 to 1.62, p Discussion/Significance of Impact: Variations in telehealth uptake among MCC patients suggest heterogeneity in its suitability and necessity. We will later evaluate whether telehealth use is associated with different levels of inpatient and emergency department utilization. We expect the findings to provide clarity on the suitability of telehealth use by MCC disease status.

Objectives/Goals: Investigating the B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL)-associated germline SNP rs7090445, located in intron 3 of ARID5B, which is more frequently observed in individuals of Hispanic/Latino descent. Investigating the mechanisms behind this inherited single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) that may contribute to the higher incidence of B-ALL in this population. Methods/Study Population: Specific Aim 1: We hypothesize ARID5B SNP rs7090445 disrupts intrinsic enhancer function. Identification of critical DNA looping events impacted by ARID5B variants using Capture C. Affinity purification-mass spectrometry to identify potential ARID5B transcription mediators. Specific Aim 2: We hypothesize the B-ALL-associated SNP leads to a partial human B-cell differentiation block. Utilize Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair to create ARID5B SNP in primary human hematopoietic stem cells. Gene-edited HSCs will be differentiated into B cells using an ex vivo system. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting to sort our pool of cells into stages of B-cell development spectrum. Amplicon sequencing and variant allele frequency of rs7090445 SNP to evaluate its impact on B-cell development. Results/Anticipated Results: This proposal is conceptually innovative as it seeks to understand the mechanism by which the B-ALL-associated SNP rs7090445 in intron 3 of ARID5B disrupts enhancer function and investigates its impact on human B-cell development. Future research will investigate a tumor-suppressive role of ARID5B and whether it constitutes a “first-hit” of leukemogenesis. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Successful completion of this research will elucidate the critical role of the B-ALL-associated ARID5B SNP rs7090445 in human B-cell development and leukemogenesis. As this SNP is more prevalent in Hispanic/Latino populations, it will also provide crucial insights into the genetic factors behind the elevated incidence of B-ALL.

Objectives/Goals: This project investigates how early childhood neighborhood factors influence attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) outcomes in adolescence. Poor neighborhood conditions have been linked to higher ADHD rates; however, the effects of these factors on academic achievement, social relationships, and risk-taking behaviors remain understudied. Methods/Study Population: A large, diverse, harmonized, cleaned dataset from a national multisite research program (Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO)) will be used. Neighborhood factors will be measured using geocoded, census-level indices of neighborhood quality: the Child Opportunity Index 3.0. Adolescent outcomes include self and caregiver-reported measures of comorbid psychopathology, risk-taking behavior, and academic and social functioning. A series of regression analyses will be conducted to examine the relationship between these variables. An estimated 6000 children are expected to be included in the analyses. Results/Anticipated Results: We expect that poorer neighborhood conditions, particularly low social and economic resources, will be associated with lower overall functioning in adolescence, and that this relationship will be stronger among adolescents with ADHD relative to those without ADHD. Discussion/Significance of Impact: By identifying risk and protective factors, this project will help identify potential prevention and treatment targets for a substantial number of youth and may inform policy efforts to improve resource equity and reduce existing disparities.

Objectives/Goals: (1) Conduct a pilot study documenting prevalence of tinnitus in a sample of Puerto Rican adults at the Audiology Clinic of the Medical Sciences Campus-University of Puerto Rico, (2) categorize patterns of tinnitus, (3) document intervention received for tinnitus, and (4) study sociodemographic characteristics of Puerto Rican adult participants with tinnitus. Methods/Study Population: A descriptive retrospective study was performed reviewing 121 clinical records of patients seen at the Audiology Intramural Clinic of the Medical Sciences Campus of the Universidad de Puerto Rico between 2022 and 2023. They were analyzed to determine the prevalence of tinnitus among this cohort. The study was submitted to the Office of Human Participants for revision and approval under the exempt category. The data were used to categorize the type of tinnitus, episodic versus constant, tonal versus non-tonal and the sociodemographic description of the sample. Results/Anticipated Results: From these 121 records, 70.2% (n = 85) were females and 29% (n = 29.8) were males. Subject ages ranged between 21 and 65 years. About 30% reported being single 30.6% (n = 37), followed by 21.5% (n = 26) reporting being married. From the 62 revised clinical records of subjects that reported tinnitus, 24% (n = 29) classified their tinnitus, in terms of how long they experience its presence, as constant, while 14% (n = 17) classified their tinnitus as intermittent. From the 62 revised clinical records, 44 participants (36.4%) described their tinnitus as tonal and 64.6 % as a complex sound of those patients 38 (31.4%) reported the tinnitus as a high-frequency pitch sound. Of the 62 patient records, the majority (98.4%) informed that they never received the treatment for tinnitus. Discussion/Significance of Impact: The results indicate that more than half of adults evaluated in the UPR Audiology Intramural Clinic (51%) had tinnitus. Age range was broad developing at any age but most prevalent in middle-aged females. Manifested permanent as a tonal or a complex sound. About 98.4% informed that they never received treatment, therefore, there is a need to ensure intervention.

Objectives/Goals: We will conduct a 12-week pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a staged-intensity whole foods intervention on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) change in adults, diet quality change (via the 2020 healthy eating index [HEI-2020]) in adults and offspring, and diet adherence and social determinants of health (SDOH) considerations via focus groups. Methods/Study Population: In this two-arm, parallel RCT, 30 adults with prediabetes (25–59 years) and their offspring (6–18 years) will be randomized to receive the 1) 12-week whole foods intervention which includes a 2-week feeding period (all foods/recipies provided), a 6-week customizable feeding period (3 dinners/recipies weekly), and a 4-week maintenance period (no food/recipies). The control group will receive standard of care (i.e., single RD-led diet counseling session). Primary outcomes include feasibility (≥80% retention and completion of study outcome measures) and acceptability (≥75% adult self-reported diet satisfaction). Intervention effects include 1) HbA1c change at 12-weeks in adults and 2) adult/offspring HEI-2020 scores assessed via diet records. Focus groups will assess influences of SDOH on diet adherence. Results/Anticipated Results: We have received Institutional Review Board approval, and recruitment is planned for January 2025. We will enroll 30 families from the greater Nashville, TN area. An intent-to-treat analysis will be conducted to test the preliminary effects of the whole foods diet intervention on the 12-week change in HbA1c (adults only) and 2020-HEI diet quality scores during the intervention period (adults and offspring). Focus groups will be conducted to understand how individual and family needs/preferences and SDOH may be perceived barriers or facilitators of diet adherence. Data generated from this study will be used to guide a fully powered RCT of our whole foods intervention to assess long-term effects on additional diabetes and metabolic outcomes and assessment of SDOH influences to support long-term adherence. Discussion/Significance of Impact: A healthy diet pattern is an effective nonpharmacological solution to prevent T2D, but only if it can be maintained. A family-centered whole foods diet pattern that uses “food as medicine” and considers how individual and family needs/preferences, and SDOHs could be an effective and sustainable multigenerational solution to prevent T2D in families.

Objectives/Goals: Our goal is to enhance communication and documentation in collaborative biostatistics by refining data management and metadata processes. We aim to capture critical data collection and generation information, improve transparency and reproducibility, and foster stronger researcher partnerships for more effective collaborations. Methods/Study Population: Traditional statistical analysis plans (SAP) often miss essential contextual knowledge from collaborators, leading to gaps that hinder reproducibility and limit future data use. Biostatistics teams at the University of Kentucky have updated their strategies to better capture important details about data origins and collection processes. By focusing on clear, comprehensive documentation early in the research process, we aim to preserve foundational data insights and improve collaboration efficiency. Our Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) team has established best practices for addressing data management structures with collaborators across medical and healthcare fields – covering all project stages, from initial data collection to metadata creation and dataset finalization. Results/Anticipated Results: We will detail the processes used to improve data management structures and the observed results of these processes. For example, initiating deeper discussions about data origins and collection processes as early as possible in the collaboration has resulted in a more comprehensive project narrative that lays the foundation for effective collaboration. By engaging with project leaders early in the process, we can confirm that critical details about how data were collected and processed are documented, improving both the transparency and reproducibility of research findings. Streamlining the processes of capturing this information makes it more accessible and useful for those with limited statistical backgrounds, which is particularly relevant for faculty and staff in BERD communities and Clinical and Translational Science Awards Programs. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Nuanced data documentation structures are crucial for transforming raw data into meaningful, reusable datasets. Our initiatives promote clear communication, enhanced efficiency, and streamlined workflows. Translational science researchers can benefit from improving data management and metadata to boost long-term collaborative success.
