Project description:Various studies showed a significant production/release of IL-1 beta following status epilepticus (SE) and during epileptogenesis. We studied the role of this cytokine in the epileptogenic process by blocking its production and downstream effects in vivo in a model of acquired epilepsy following SE induction. We used a pharmacological strategy consisting of the administration of two drugs, namely VX-765 and Anakinra, which selectively block the biosynthesis and the receptor type 1 of this cytokine, respectively.

Project description:Extensive studies are currently being performed to associate disease susceptibility with one form of genetic variation, namely single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In recent years another type of common genetic variation has been characterised, namely structural variation, including copy number variations (CNVs). To determine the overall contribution of CNVs to complex phenotypes we have performed association analyses of expression levels of 14,925 transcripts with SNPs and CNVs in individuals who are part of the International HapMap project. SNPs and CNVs captured 83.6% and 17.7% of the total detected genetic variation in gene expression, respectively, but the signals from the two types of variation had little overlap. Interrogation of the genome for both types of variants may be an effective way to elucidate the causes of complex phenotypes and disease in humans. Keywords: gene expression

Project description:Asthma is caused by a combination of poorly understood genetic and environmental factors. We found multiple markers on chromosome 17q21 to be strongly and reproducibly associated with childhood onset asthma in family and case-referent panels with a combined P < 10-12. In independent replication studies the 17q21 locus showed strong association with diagnosis of childhood asthma in 2,320 subjects from a cohort of German children (P = 0.0003) and in 3,301 subjects from the British 1958 Birth Cohort (P = 0.0005). We systematically evaluated the relationships between markers of the 17q21 locus and transcript levels of genes in EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines from children in the asthma family panel used in our association study. The SNPs associated with childhood asthma were consistently and strongly associated (P <10-22) in cis with transcript levels of ORMDL3, a member of a gene family that encode transmembrane proteins anchored in the endoplasmic reticulum. The results indicate that genetic variants regulating ORMDL3 expression are determinants of susceptibility to childhood asthma. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression levels were evaluated in 404 children. We then evaluated the relationship between SNPs in the 17q21 region (which show association to asthma in the same children) with gene expression levels. See http://www.sph.umich.edu/csg/liang/asthma/

Project description:Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with diseases of the colon including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the functional role of many of these SNPs is largely unknown and tissue-specific resources are lacking. Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) mapping identifies target genes of disease-associated SNPs. Here, we comprehensively map eQTLs in the human colon, assess their relevance for GWAS of colonic diseases and provide functional characterization. Subjects included 40 healthy African American individuals who had undergone colonoscopy at the University of Illinois Chicago for screening purposes. Distal colonic biopsies were obtained in all subjects at 20 cm from the anal verge at the recto-sigmoid junction and were immediately dispensed in RNAlater. Total mRNA was extracted from manually ground tissue with the Promega Maxwell 16 Tissue LEV Total RNA Purification Kit for automated purification on the Maxwell 16 Instrument and mRNA analysis was performed on Illumina HumanHT-12v4 Expression BeadChip arrays. Genomic DNA was obtained from whole-blood samples from the same individuals and genotyped using the Affymetrix Axiom Genome-wide Pan-African array. Cis- and trans-eQTL analyses were performed on the dataset of 8.4 million imputed SNPs and 16,252 expression probes corresponding to 12,363 unique autosomal genes in 40 subjects. Associations between SNPs and gene expression levels were examined with Matrix eQTL using linear regression. False discovery rate calculations were performed separately for cis- and trans-eQTLs.

Project description:Based on the prior knowledge of involvement of the human leukocyte antigen locus in Han Chinese patients with carbamazepine-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome, we imputed the HLA types for each case and control subject from the array of SNPs in the Human610-Quad GWAS platform (NCBI Build 36.1). We then performed a genome-wide association test which included the imputed HLA alleles as markers.

Project description:<p>Nicotine dependence reduces the likelihood of quitting smoking and predicts withdrawal severity, treatment response, and smoking-related health outcomes. Nicotine dependence is a heritable trait (heritability estimates up to 75%), and prior genome-wide association study (GWAS) analyses have firmly established associations with DNA sequence variants in nicotine acetylcholine receptor genes on chromosome 15q25 and at other loci. In this GWAS meta-analysis, 15 independent studies were assembled for a total of 38,602 regular smokers (28,677 Europeans/European Americans and 9,925 African Americans) with nicotine dependence defined by the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). FTND scores, which range from 0 (no dependence) to 10 (highest dependence level), were used to categorize nicotine dependence as mild (scores 0-3), moderate (scores 4-6), or severe (scores 7-10). Two of the 15 studies additionally included low-intensity smokers who reported cigarettes per day as <10 but had no data available on the other FTND items and were defined as mildly dependent, given the high concordance rates between these FTND and CPD categories and minimal phenotype misclassification. The cross-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis tested nearly 18 million genotyped and 1000 Genomes-imputed SNPs/indels for association with mild/moderate/severe dependence. The well-known chromosome 15q25 locus was reconfirmed, and a novel chromosome 20q11 locus spanning the DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase 3 beta (DNMT3B) gene was identified at genome-wide significance. Genome-wide results for the cross-ancestry and ancestry-specific GWAS meta-analyses are provided.</p>

Project description:Background: Increased epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) in survivors of childhood cancer is associated with specific treatment exposures, unfavorable health behaviors, and presence of certain chronic health conditions. To better understand inter-individual variability, we investigated the genetic basis underlying EAA. Methods: Genome-wide association studies of EAA based on multiple epigenetic clocks (Hannum, Horvath, PhenoAge, and GrimAge) were performed. MethylationEPIC BeadChip array and whole-genome sequencing data were generated with blood-derived DNA from participants in the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study (discovery: 2,138 pre-existing and 502 newly generated data, all survivors; exploratory: 282 community controls). Linear regression models were fit for each epigenetic age against allelic dose of each genetic variant, adjusting for age at sampling, sex, and cancer treatment exposures. Fixed-effects meta-analysis was used to combine summary statistics from two discovery data sets. LD (Linkage disequilibrium) score regression was used to estimate single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability. Results: For EAA-Horvath, a genome-wide significant association was mapped to SELP gene with the strongest SNP rs732314 (meta-GWAS: β=0.57, P=3.30×10-11). Moreover, the stratified analysis of the association between rs732314 and EAA-Horvath showed substantial heterogeneity between children and adults (meta-GWAS: β=0.97 vs. 0.51, I2=73.1%) as well as between survivors with and without chest/abdominal/pelvic-RT exposure (β=0.64 vs. 0.31, I2=66.3%). For EAA-Hannum, an association was mapped to HLA locus with the strongest SNP rs28366133 (meta-GWAS: β=0.78, P=3.78×10-11). There was no genome-wide significant hit for EAA-PhenoAge or EAA-GrimAge. Interestingly, among community controls, rs732314 was associated with EAA-Horvath (β=1.09, P=5.43×10-5), whereas rs28366133 was not associated with EAA-Hannum (β=0.21, P=0.49). The estimated heritability was 0.33 (SE=0.20) for EAA-Horvath and 0.17 (SE=0.23) for EAA-Hannum, but close to zero for EAA-PhenoAge and EAA-GrimAge. Conclusions: We identified novel genetic variants in SELP gene and HLA region associated with EAA-Horvath and EAA-Hannum, respectively, among survivors of childhood cancer. The new genetic variants in combination with other replicated known variants can facilitate identification of survivors at higher risk in developing accelerated aging, and potentially inform drug targets for future intervention strategies among vulnerable survivors.
