Genome-wide association study identified ATP6V1H locus influencing cerebrospinal fluid BACE activity.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The activity of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ?-site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE) is a potential diagnostic biomarker for Alzheimer disease (AD). METHODS:A total of 340 non-Hispanic Caucasian participants from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative cohort (ADNI) database were included in this study with quality-controlled CSF BACE and genotype data. Association of CSF BACE with the genetic variants of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was assessed using PLINK under the additive genetic model. The P values of all SNPs for CSF BACE were adjusted for multiple comparisons. RESULTS:One SNP (rs1481950) in the ATP6V1H gene reached genome-wide significance for associations with CSF BACE (P?=?4.88?×?10-?9). The minor allele (G) of rs1481950 was associated with higher CSF BACE activity. Although seven SNPs in SNX31, RORA, CDH23, RGS20, LRRC4C, MAPK6PS1 and LOC105378355 did not reach genome-wide significance (P?

Genome-wide association study identifies RBFOX1 locus influencing brain glucose metabolism.

Project description:Background:Fluorodeoxyglucose f18 positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) is regarded as the only functional neuroimaging biomarker for degeneration which can be used to increase the certainty of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathophysiological process in research settings or as an optional clinical tool where available. Although a decline in FDG metabolism was confirmed in some regions known to be associated with AD, there was little known about the genetic association of FDG metabolism in AD cohorts. In this study, we present the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis of brain FDG metabolism. Methods:A total of 222 individuals were included from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 1 (ADNI-1) cohort. All subjects were restricted to non-Hispanic Caucasians and met all quality control (QC) criteria. Associations of 18F-FDG with the genetic variants were assessed using PLINK 1.07 under the additive genetic model. Genome-wide associations were visualized using a software program R 3.2.3. Results:One significant SNP rs12444565 in RNA-binding Fox1 (RBFOX1) was found to have a strong association with 18F-FDG (P=6.06×10-8). Rs235141, rs79037, rs12526331 and rs12529764 were identified as four suggestive loci associated with 18F-FDG. Conclusions:Our study results suggest that a genome-wide significant SNP (rs12444565) in the RBFOX1, and four suggestive loci (rs235141, rs79037, rs12526331 and rs12529764) are associated with 18F-FDG.

Genome-Wide Association Studies for Cerebrospinal Fluid Soluble TREM2 in Alzheimer's Disease.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. Rare variants in triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) have been identified as risk factors for AD. Soluble TREM2 (sTREM2) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a potential and novel biomarker of neuroinflammation implicated in the onset and progression of AD. To explore the roles of CSF sTREM2 on the pathogenesis of AD, we performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) by using the data from Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). We found CSF sTREM2 levels were elevated with the disease stages, but there was no significant difference between that of AD patients and normal participants. CSF sTREM2 was positively correlated with CSF total tau and phosphorylated-tau levels (ρ > 0.35, p < 1e-06; ρ > 0.32, p < 1e-05, respectively) for all disease states. We identified the most significant CSF sTREM2 related locus was rs7232 (FDR = 3.01e-08), a missense variant in MS4A6A gene of chromosome 11. Moreover, we also detected rs7232 was highly associated with MS4A6A gene expression (FDR = 1.37e-18). In addition, our pathway analysis for our significant GWAS results showed that biological processes for regulation of viruses and immune response were highly overrepresented or enriched. Our study suggests that CSF sTREM2 plays an informative role in AD progression. Moreover, CSF sTREM2 and AD is highly related to viral infections and immune response.

Genome-wide association study of prolactin levels in blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.

Project description:BackgroundProlactin is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that plays an essential role in lactation, tissue growth, and suppressing apoptosis to increase cell survival. Prolactin serves as a key player in many life-critical processes, including immune system and reproduction. Prolactin is also found in multiple fluids throughout the body, including plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).MethodsIn this study, we measured prolactin levels in both plasma and CSF, and performed a genome-wide association study. We then performed meta-analyses using METAL with a significance threshold of p < 5 × 10(-8) and removed SNPs where the direction of the effect was different between the two datasets.ResultsWe identified 12 SNPs associated with increased prolactin levels in both biological fluids.ConclusionsOur efforts will help researchers understand how prolactin is regulated in both CSF and plasma, which could be beneficial in research for the immune system and reproduction.

Genome-wide association study of cerebrospinal fluid neurofilament light levels in non-demented elders.

Project description:BackgroundCerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neurofilament light (NFL) is a general biomarker for axonal damage.MethodsThis genome-wide association study (GWAS) consisted of 169 mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subjects and 94 cognitively normal (CN) subjects from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort. Analyses of associations between CSF NFL and genetic polymorphisms were performed using an additive genetic model. The novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified by GWAS were further examined for their correlation with other AD-related phenotypes at baseline and during follow-up using multiple linear regression model and mixed effects model respectively. Survival analysis was performed to evaluate the respective risks of progression from CN to prodromal AD and from MCI to AD among populations with different genotypes.ResultsTwo novel SNPs (rs465401 and rs460420), both near the ADAMTS1 gene on chromosome 21, showed genome-wide significant associations with CSF NFL. The minor allele (A) of rs465401 was also associated with higher CSF total tau (t-tau) levels, lower amyloid-β (Aβ) levels as well as greater longitudinal change in both Aβ and t-tau among the CN group. Furthermore, the Cox proportional hazards models showed increased risks for prodromal AD among the cognitive normal AA homozygotes.ConclusionsWe found that two SNPs (rs465401 and rs460420) were associated with CSF NFL in non-demented elders. The associations identified in this study may make the SNPs and ADAMTS1 ideal candidates for future genetic studies on aging and neurodegenerative disorders.

Genome-wide association study identifies <i>MAPT</i> locus influencing human plasma tau levels.

Project description:ObjectiveTo identify genetic loci associated with plasma tau concentrations in healthy elders and individuals with Alzheimer disease.MethodsFour hundred sixty-three non-Hispanic white individuals exceeding quality control criteria were included from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI-1) cohort. Association of plasma tau with genetic polymorphisms was performed with a linear regression model. Significant associations were validated in an independent replication cohort consisting of 431 healthy elders or individuals with mild cognitive impairment recruited from the University of California, San Francisco Memory and Aging Center.ResultsThe minor allele (A) of rs242557 in the microtubule-associated protein tau gene (MAPT) was associated with higher plasma tau levels at genome-wide significance (p = 4.85 × 10-9, empiric family-wise error corrected p = 0.0024) in a dose-dependent fashion. This association was also observed in the replication cohort (p = 1.0 × 10-5; joint analysis p = 1.2 × 10-12). Single nucleotide polymorphisms near PARK2 (rs2187213) (p = 6.15 × 10-6), IL2RA (rs7072793, rs7073236) (p = 7.89 × 10-6), and an intergenic locus on 9p21.3 (rs7047280) (p = 8.13 × 10-6) were identified as suggestive loci associated with plasma tau levels.ConclusionsMAPT H1c haplotype (rs242557) has previously been identified as a genetic risk factor for progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration. The current findings suggest that plasma tau concentration could be an endophenotype for identifying risk for 4-repeat tauopathies in older individuals.

Genome-wide association study identified UQCC locus for spine bone size in humans.

Project description:Bone size (BS) contributes significantly to the risk of osteoporotic fracture. Osteoporotic spine fracture is one of the most disabling outcomes of osteoporosis. This study aims to identify genomic loci underlying spine BS variation in humans. We performed a genome-wide association scan in 2286 unrelated Caucasians using Affymetrix 6.0 SNP arrays. Areal BS (cm(2)) at lumbar spine was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scanners. SNPs of interest were subjected to replication analyses and meta-analyses with additional two independent Caucasian populations (N=1000 and 2503) and one Chinese population (N=1627). In the initial GWAS, 91 SNPs were associated with spine BS (P<1.0E-4). Eight contiguous SNPs were found clustering in a haplotype block within UQCC gene (ubiquinol-cytochrome creductase complex chaperone). Association of the above eight SNPs with spine BS was replicated in one Caucasian and one Chinese populations. Meta-analyses (N=7416) generated much stronger association signals for these SNPs (e.g., P=1.86E-07 for SNP rs6060373), supporting association of UQCC with spine BS across ethnicities. This study identified a novel locus, i.e., the UQCC gene, for spine BS variation in humans. Future functional studies will contribute to elucidating the mechanisms by which UQCC regulates bone growth and development.

Pathogen lineage-based genome-wide association study identified CD53 as susceptible locus in tuberculosis.

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) is known to be affected by host genetic factors. We reported a specific genetic risk factor through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) that focused on young age onset TB. In this study, we further focused on the heterogeneity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) lineages and assessed its possible interaction with age at onset on host genetic factors. We identified the pathogen lineage in 686 Thai TB cases and GWAS stratified by both infected pathogen lineage information and age at onset revealed a genome-wide significant association of one single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on chromosome 1p13, which was specifically associated with non-Beijing lineage-infected old age onset cases (P=2.54E-08, OR=1.74 (95% CI=1.43-2.12)), when we compared them to the population-matched healthy controls. This SNP locates near the CD53 gene, which encodes a leukocyte surface glycoprotein. Interestingly, the expression of CD53 was also correlated with the patients' active TB status. This is the first report of a pathogen lineage-based genome-wide association study. The results suggested that host genetic risk in TB is depended upon the pathogen genetic background and demonstrate the importance of analyzing the interaction between host and pathogen genomes in TB.

A genome-wide association analysis identified a novel susceptible locus for pathological myopia at 11q24.1.

Project description:Myopia is one of the most common ocular disorders worldwide. Pathological myopia, also called high myopia, comprises 1% to 5% of the general population and is one of the leading causes of legal blindness in developed countries. To identify genetic determinants associated with pathological myopia in Japanese, we conducted a genome-wide association study, analyzing 411,777 SNPs with 830 cases and 1,911 general population controls in a two-stage design (297 cases and 934 controls in the first stage and 533 cases and 977 controls in the second stage). We selected 22 SNPs that showed P-values smaller than 10(-4) in the first stage and tested them for association in the second stage. The meta-analysis combining the first and second stages identified an SNP, rs577948, at chromosome 11q24.1, which was associated with the disease (P = 2.22x10(-7) and OR of 1.37 with 95% confidence interval: 1.21-1.54). Two genes, BLID and LOC399959, were identified within a 200-kb DNA encompassing rs577948. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that both genes were expressed in human retinal tissue. Our results strongly suggest that the region at 11q24.1 is a novel susceptibility locus for pathological myopia in Japanese.

Genome-wide association study identifies SIAH3 locus influencing the rate of ventricular enlargement in non-demented elders.

Project description:Ventricular enlargement occurs in several neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases. A large genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified seven loci associated with ventricular volume. The rate of ventricular enlargement increased in the progression of disease from normal cognition to dementia. Here, we aimed to use the rate of ventricular enlargement as an endophenotype for the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases to discover more common genetic variants. We performed a GWAS of the rate of ventricular enlargement using 507 nondemented non-Hispanic white participants from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort. Linear regression model was used to identify the association of the rate of ventricular enlargement with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PLINK software. The associations of genome-wide significant SNPs with other four phenotypes were further discussed. Two SNPs (rs11620312, P = 4.04×10-8; rs79174114, P = 4.28×10-8) within SIAH3 gene in linkage disequilibrium (LD) reached genome-wide significance for association with increased rate of ventricular enlargement. Some intergenic SNPs and SNPs within NKAIN2, TBC1D2, GALNT18, ABCC1 and SRCIN1 genes were identified as potential candidates. SIAH3 rs11620312-C carriers were associated with poor cognition and brain hypometabolism longitudinally. Our findings indicated that SIAH3 gene may have potential influence on the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.
