Molecular Characterization of Two Major Dengue Outbreaks in Costa Rica.

ABSTRACT: Dengue virus (DENV) (Flavivirus, Flaviviridae) is a reemerging arthropod-borne virus with a worldwide circulation, transmitted mainly by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Since the first detection of its main transmitting vector in 1992 and the invasion of DENV-1 in 1993, Costa Rica has faced dengue outbreaks yearly. In 2007 and 2013, Costa Rica experienced two of the largest outbreaks in terms of total and severe cases. To provide genetic information about the etiologic agents producing these outbreaks, we conducted phylogenetic analysis of viruses isolated from human samples. A total of 23 DENV-1 and DENV-2 sequences were characterized. These analyses signaled that DENV-1 genotype V and DENV-2 American/Asian genotype were circulating in those outbreaks. Our results suggest that the 2007 and 2013 outbreak viral strains of DENV-1 and DENV-2 originated from nearby countries and underwent in situ microevolution.

Genome-Based Characterization of Listeria monocytogenes, Costa Rica.

Project description:Genomic data on the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes from Central America are scarce. We analyzed 92 isolates collected during 2009-2019 from different regions in Costa Rica, compared those to publicly available genomes, and identified unrecognized outbreaks. Our findings suggest mandatory reporting of listeriosis in Costa Rica would improve pathogen surveillance.

Molecular characterization and genetic diversity of <i>Jatropha curcas</i> L. in Costa Rica.

Project description:We estimated the genetic diversity of 50 Jatropha curcas samples from the Costa Rican germplasm bank using 18 EST-SSR, one G-SSR and nrDNA-ITS markers. We also evaluated the phylogenetic relationships among samples using nuclear ribosomal ITS markers. Non-toxicity was evaluated using G-SSRs and SCARs markers. A Neighbor-Joining (NJ) tree and a Maximum Likelihood (ML) tree were constructed using SSR markers and ITS sequences, respectively. Heterozygosity was moderate (He = 0.346), but considerable compared to worldwide values for J. curcas. The PIC (PIC = 0.274) and inbreeding coefficient (f = - 0.102) were both low. Clustering was not related to the geographical origin of accessions. International accessions clustered independently of collection sites, suggesting a lack of genetic structure, probably due to the wide distribution of this crop and ample gene flow. Molecular markers identified only one non-toxic accession (JCCR-24) from Mexico. This work is part of a countrywide effort to characterize the genetic diversity of the Jatropha curcas germplasm bank in Costa Rica.

Wilson disease in Costa Rica: Pediatric phenotype and genotype characterization.

Project description:Introduction:The prevalence of Wilson disease (WD) in Costa Rica is among the highest reported in the world, 4.9:100?000. Previous investigators have also described a burden of autosomal recessive conditions in this country. Genetic testing for WD began in 2010 as a strategy for earlier detection due to the country's high prevalence. Here we describe what we have learned about the genotype and phenotype of the Costa Rican pediatric population with WD. Methods:We completed a retrospective review of medical records from pediatric individuals (<18?years of age) with molecular testing for ATP7B between 2010 and 2015. We documented phenotype and genotype for cases with WD as defined by the international scoring system. Results:Thirty-four WD cases from 28 families were included, 15 female and 19 male patients. The most frequent pathogenic variant in ATP7B was NM_000053:c.3809A>G, p.Asn1270Ser, with 58.8% of affected individuals homozygous for this variant. Age of diagnosis ranged from 1 to 17?years, with an average of 8.8?±?3.6?years. All individuals who presented with acute liver failure (n = 6) were homozygous for the p.Asn1270Ser variant (Chi-squared, P?<?.05). Discussion:Molecular testing has facilitated the detection of presymptomatic patients with WD in Costa Rica. We hope that ongoing efforts in the delivery of clinical services lead to optimized molecular screening for WD and other genetic conditions in Costa Rica.

Molecular characterization of an avian GA13-like infectious bronchitis virus full-length genome from Costa Rica.

Project description:We describe the first whole-genome sequence of a GA13-like isolate of avian infectious bronchitis virus CK/CR/1160/16 (MN757859), obtained in 2016 in the province of Alajuela, Costa Rica. This virus caused an outbreak with great economic impact to the local poultry industry. The genome sequence is 27 696 bp in length, with the following genome organization 5'-UTR-Pol-S-3a-3b-E-4b-4c-M-5a-5b-N-6b-3'-UTR. The complete genome sequence has the highest sequence identity (94.03%) with DMV/1639/GA9977/2019 (MK878536) from Georgia, USA, and the lowest identity (86.03%) with ck/CH/LHLJ/08-6 (KX252788), from China. Analysis of the S1 subunit indicates that the Costa Rican isolate belongs to genotype I, lineage 17 (GI-17) and displays 96.89% identity with the S1 subunit of Ga-13/14255/14 (KM087780) (USA). Possible recombination events in genes S, E, M, 4b y 4c were detected, with Massachusetts, Connecticut, Arkansas and MA5 as potential parental types. This study highlights the importance of the epidemiological and molecular surveillance of avian infectious bronchitis.

Serum miRNA Seq of Children with Asthma in Costa Rica

Project description:Small RNA was sequenced from banked peripheral blood serum from 1,134 asthmatic children aged 6 to 14 years who participated in the Genetics of Asthma in Costa Rica Study (GACRS). We filtered the participants into high and low bronchodilator response (BDR) quartiles and used DeSeq2 to identify miRNAs with differential expression (DE) in high (N= 277) vs low (N= 278) BDR group. The putative target genes of DE miRNAs were identified, and pathway enrichment analysis was performed. Results: We identified 10 down-regulated miRNAs having odds ratios (OR) between 0.37 and 0.76 for a doubling of miRNA counts and one up-regulated miRNA (OR=2.26) between high and low BDR group. Further, functional annotation of 11 DE miRNAs were performed as well as of two replicated miRs. Target genes of these miRs were enriched in regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis by SREBPs, ESR-mediated signaling, G1/S transition, RHO GTPase cycle, and signaling by TGFB family pathways.

Characterization of expression quantitative trait loci in extensively phenotyped pedigrees from Colombia and Costa Rica

Project description:The observation that variants regulating gene expression (expression quantitative trait loci, eQTL) are at a high frequency among SNPs associated with complex traits has made the genome-wide characterization of gene expression an important tool in genetic mapping studies of such traits. As part of a study to identify genetic loci contributing to bipolar disorder and a wide range of BP-related quantitative traits in members of 26 pedigrees from Costa Rica and Colombia, we measured gene expression in lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from 786 pedigree members. The study design enabled us to comprehensively reconstruct the genetic regulatory network in these families, provide estimates of heritability, identify eQTL, evaluate missing heritability for the eQTL, and quantify the number of different alleles contributing to any given locus. Lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) were established by in vitro infection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with Epstein Barr virus, and RNA was extracted from these cell lines and its expression quantified using Illumina Human HT-12 v4.0 Expression BeadChips. Expression values were background corrected, quantile normalized, log2 transformed, and corrected for major known batch effects. The outcome of these procedures is what we refer to as â??probe expressionâ?? for all subsequent analyses. After quality control filters, the 34,030 probes included in the final set were uniquely aligned to hg19, contained no common SNPs (as defined in dbSNP 137 or 138), queried 24,385 unique genes, and their expression was detected in at least one individual. For a detailed description of the processing steps used at each site and the RNA quantification, normalization, and quality control procedures, see the supplementary note. Please note that charateristics FID, IID and DiagnosisBP1 represents family ID, individual ID and BP1 diagnosis (0= no BP1, 2= BP1), respectively.
