Prediction of pigmentation phenotypes by SNP typing in a Northern German population

ABSTRACT: Human pigmentation traits are of great interest to many research areas, from ancient DNA analysis to forensic science. We aimed to develop a gene-based predictive model for pigmentation phenotypes in a realistic target population for forensic case work from Northern Germany. Our aim was to determine whether better prediction accuracy can be achieved, or fewer genetic markers may suffice, than in previously studied, genetically more heterogeneous populations. We investigated the association between eye, hair and skin colour, and 12 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from six genes. Our study comprised two samples of 300 and 100 individuals from Northern Germany who were carefully characterized with regard to pigmentation phenotypes. The first sample was used to select trait-associated SNPs whereas the second sample served to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and to quantify the predictive capability of the respective SNP genotypes. SNP rs12913832 in HERC2 was found to be strongly associated with blue eye colour (OR=15.6, p<1.2•10-4) and to yield reasonable predictive power (90% sensitivity, 63% specificity). SNP associations with hair and skin colour were weaker and genotypes less predictive. A comparison to two recently published sets of markers to predict eye and hair colour revealed that the consideration of additional SNPs with weak to moderate effect increases the predictive power in Northern Germans for eye colour, but not for hair colour. In addition, fine phenotyping and differentiation of hair colour (light / dark and red tint / no red tint) were found to increase the number of significant genotype-phenotype associations.

Proteomic Genotyping: Using Mass Spectrometry to Infer SNP Genotypes in Pigmented and Non-Pigmented Hair

Project description:Proteomic genotyping is the use of genetically variant peptides (GVPs), detected in a forensic protein sample, to infer the genotype of corresponding non-synonymous SNP alleles in the donor’s genome. This process does not depend on the presence of accessible or useable DNA in a sample. This makes proteomic genotyping an attractive alternative for analysis of problematic forensic samples, such as hair shafts, degraded bones or teeth, fingermarks, or sexual assault evidence. To demonstrate the concept in hair shafts, we developed an optimized sample processing protocol that could be used with high effectiveness on single hairs. This allows us to determine if the detected profiles of genetically variant peptides are robust and result in a consistent profile of inferred SNP alleles regardless of the chemical or biological history of the sample. Several real world scenarios have been evaluated. Here we include a study of four European subjects that had both pigmented and non-pigmented (or gray and non-gray) hair shafts. We tested whether (a) protein profiles change as a result of the loss of pigmentation and (b) these changes were reflected in the inferred genotype derived from detection of genetically variant peptides. Using this information, we can determine whether the resulting GVP profiles are more dependent on the biological context of pigmentation status or the underlying genotype.

Elucidation of Familial Relationships Using Hair Shaft Proteomics

Project description:This study examines the potential of hair shaft proteomic analysis to delineate genetic relatedness. Proteomic profiling and amino acid sequence analysis provide information for quantitative and statistically based analysis of individualization and sample similarity. Protein expression levels are a function of cell specific transcriptional and translational programs. These programs are greatly influenced by an individuals genetic background, and are therefore influenced by familial relatedness as well as ancestry and genetic disease. Proteomic profiles should therefore be more similar among related individuals than unrelated individuals. Likewise, profiles of genetically variant peptides that contain single amino acid polymorphisms, the result of non-synonymous SNP alleles, should behave similarly. The proteomically-inferred SNP alleles should also provide a basis for calculation of combined paternity and sibship indices. We test these hypotheses using matching proteomic and genetic datasets from a family of two adults and four siblings, one of which has a genetic condition that perturbs hair structure and properties. We demonstrate that related individuals, compared to those who are unrelated, have more similar proteomic profiles, profiles of genetically variant peptides and higher combined paternity indices and combined sibship indices. This study builds on previous analyses of hair shaft protein profiling and genetically variant peptide profiles in different real-world scenarios including different human hair shaft body locations and pigmentation status. It also validates the inclusion of proteomic information with other biomolecular substrates in forensic hair shaft analysis, including mitochondrial and nuclear DNA.

Stability of hair proteomes and proteomic genotyping with age and time

Project description:Hair, a skin appendage, is a frequently procured biological specimen from crime scenes and has been used in forensic investigations for over a century. Proteomic analysis and identification of genetically variant peptides (GVPs) in hair samples for identification purposes is a recent but an efficiently advancing tool for forensic and archeological uses. However, the hair samples exposed to environmental insults have been seen to undergo degradation to various degrees depending on the physicochemical factors the samples have been exposed to. Therefore, one would expect that evidentiary hair samples stored for longer periods of time will undergo alterations in their proteomes and hence can affect their use on long-term samples stored as case work. To determine the degree to which age of individual or age of sample can affect the hair shaft proteome or inferred GVP profile, protein profiles of hair samples were compared from individuals of different ages as well as samples collected from same individual at different time points and stored in dry environment at room temperature for 5 - 65 years.

Profiling Protein Expression Levels and Genetically Variant Peptides in Human Hair From Different Body Sites

Project description:Proteins of the human hair shaft contain a wealth of information about the coding regions of the person’s genome from whom the hair is derived. Commonly found at crime scenes, hair shafts may thus provide useful forensic evidence if the information they contain can be exploited. Present experiments show that hair shafts from four different anatomic sites are similarly useful in distinguishing individuals by protein profiling. However, the results demonstrated that protein profiles were dependent on anatomic site, indicating that a proper comparison requires matching the sites of origin. The differences in profile offer the prospect of determining the site of origin of hair by comparison with profiles of shafts from other anatomic sites. By contrast, the genetically variant peptides detected in the protein digests, that map to non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in subject DNA, were detectable regardless of the anatomic origin of the hair shafts. The resulting profiles of genetically variant peptides were more dependent on a subject’s genotype than on the anatomic origin of the hair shaft. Individual identification therefore can be based on peptide profiles regardless of body location. This study demonstrates the utility of proteomic analysis for increasing the forensic value of hair shaft evidence.

Transcription factor-SNP interactome for colorectal cancer risk loci

Project description:A core task to understand the consequences of non-coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) is to identify their genotype specific binding of transcription factor (TF). Here, we generate a large-scale TF-SNP interaction map for a selection of 116 colorectal cancer (CRC) risk loci and validated TF binding to 10 putatively functional SNPs. Our data further revealed TF binding complexity adjacent to the 116 risk loci, adding an additional layer of understanding to regulatory networks associated with CRC relevant loci.

High-throughput identification of functional regulatory SNPs in systemic lupus erythematosus

Project description:Genome-wide association studies implicate multiple loci in risk for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but few contain exonic variants, rendering systematic identification of non-coding variants essential to decoding SLE genetics. We utilized SNP-seq and bioinformatic enrichment to interrogate 2180 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 87 SLE risk loci for potential binding of transcription factors and related proteins from B cells. 52 SNPs that passed initial screening were tested by electrophoretic mobility shift (EMSA) and luciferase reporter assays. To identify binding of transcription factors and/or other nuclear proteins in an allele-determined manner, we employed pulldown using nuclear extract from Daudi cells and silver staining in SNPs that had exhibited allele-specific differential binding by EMSA. Each pulldown product for each allele of the five high-probability SNPs (rs2297550 C/G, rs13213604 C/G, rs276461 T/C, rs9907955 C/T, rs7302634 T/C) was evaluated by mass spectrometry (MS) to identify binding nuclear proteins, yielding a set of candidate proteins for each.
