Whole-genome Sequencing Suggests Mechanisms for 22q11.2 deletion-associated Parkinson’s disease

ABSTRACT: Objectives: To investigate disease risk mechanisms of early-onset Parkinson’s disease (PD) associated with the recurrent 22q11.2 deletion, a genetic risk factor for early-onset PD. Methods: In a proof-of-principle study, we used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate sequence variants in nine adults with 22q11.2DS, three with neuropathologically confirmed early-onset PD and six without PD. Adopting an approach used recently to study schizophrenia in 22q11.2DS, here we tested candidate gene-sets relevant to PD. Results: No mutations common to the cases with PD were found in the intact 22q11.2 region. While all were negative for rare mutations in a gene-set comprising PD disease-causing and risk genes, another candidate gene-set of 1000 genes functionally relevant to PD presented a nominally significant (P=0.03) enrichment of rare putatively damaging missense variants in the PD cases. Polygenic score results, based on common variants associated with PD risk, were non-significantly greater in those with PD. Conclusions: The results of this first-ever pilot study of WGS in PD suggest that the cumulative burden of genome-wide sequence variants may contribute to expression of early-onset PD in the presence of threshold-lowering dosage effects of a 22q11.2 deletion. We found no evidence that expression of PD in 22q11.2DS is mediated by a recessive locus on the intact 22q11.2 chromosome or mutations in known PD genes. These findings offer initial evidence of the potential effects of multiple within-individual rare variants on the expression of PD and the utility of next generation sequencing for studying the etiology of PD.

Common and rare variant prediction and penetrance of IBD in a large, multi-ethnic, health system-based biobank cohort

Project description:Background and aims: As genome sequencing technologies rapidly expand in capacity and availability, understanding how genetic background in different populations modifies IBD risk will be an important factor in disease prediction, prevention, and treatment. However, most of the datasets that are used to generate polygenic risk scores (PRS) contain predominantly European ancestry patients. To address this, we tested different models for prediction of IBD cases using PRS built using association data from multiple races and also assessed the penetrance of rare very early onset IBD (VEOIBD) SNPs. Methods: PRS were calculated using association data from European, African American, and Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) studies, as well as a meta-GWAS run using all three association datasets. PRS were then combined using regression modelling to assess which combination of scores was best able to predict IBD status in European, AJ, Hispanic, and African American BioMe Biobank populations. Additionally, rare variants were assessed in genes associated with very early onset IBD, taking into account genetic penetrance in each BioMe population, deleteriousness, and evolutionary conservation. Results: Combining risk scores based on IBD association results from multiple racial populations resulted in improved IBD prediction for every population in BioMe. We also identified highly penetrant rare variants in previously established VEOIBD genes which were predicted to be deleterious, including SNPs in established risk genes such as NOD2 as well as novel variants, including some in LRBA which appear to be particularly relevant for risk of IBD in African Americans.

Mutations and variants of ONECUT1 in diabetes

Project description:Genes involved in distinct diabetes types suggest shared disease mechanisms. We show that rare ONECUT1 coding variants cause monogenic recessive diabetes (neonatal or very early-onset, syndromic) in two unrelated patients, and monogenic dominant diabetes (early adult-onset) in heterozygous relatives of these and 13 additional unrelated cases. Patients heterozygous for rare ONECUT1 coding variants define a subgroup of T2D with early-onset diabetes and other features. In addition, common regulatory ONECUT1 variants are associated with multifactorial T2D. Directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells to the pancreatic lineage revealed that loss of ONECUT1 impairs pancreatic progenitor formation and a subsequent endocrine program. We uncovered that ONECUT1 activates the pro-endocrine genes NKX6.1 and NKX2.2 through binding to their cis-regulatory elements. Globally, ONECUT1-directed gene transcription occurs in association with major islet transcription factors, at clusters of pancreas- and endocrine-specific enhancers within open chromatin. ONECUT1 regulates a transcriptional and epigenetic machinery critical for proper endocrine pancreatic development, involved in a spectrum of diabetes, monogenic recessive and dominant, and multifactorial.

Protein-truncating variants in BSN are associated with severe adult-onset obesity, type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease

Project description:Obesity is a major risk factor for many common diseases and has a significant heritable component. While clinical and large-scale population studies have identified several genes harbouring rare alleles with large effects on obesity risk, there are likely many unknown genes with highly penetrant effects remaining. To this end, we performed whole exome-sequence analyses for adult body mass index (BMI) in up to 587,027 individuals. We identified rare, loss of function variants in two genes – BSN and APBA1 – with effects on BMI substantially larger than well-established obesity genes such as MC4R. One in ~6500 individuals carry a heterozygous protein truncating variant (PTV) in BSN, which confers a 6.6, 3.7 and 3-fold higher risk of severe obesity (BMI >40kg/m2), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes, respectively. Rare PTVs in BSN were found in three patients with severe early onset obesity, but in contrast to most other obesity-related genes, rare variants in BSN and APBA1 were not associated with normal variation in childhood adiposity. Furthermore, BSN PTVs magnified the influence of common genetic variants associated with BMI, with a common polygenic score exhibiting an effect on BMI twice as large in BSN PTV carriers than non-carriers. Finally, we explored the plasma proteomic signatures of BSN PTV carriers as well as the functional consequences of BSN deletion in human iPSC-derived hypothalamic neurons. These approaches highlighted a network of differentially expressed genes that were collectively enriched for genomic regions associated with BMI, and suggest emerging roles for neurodevelopment, neurogenesis, and altered neuronal oxidative phosphorylation in the etiology of obesity.

Genetic architecture differences between pediatric and adult-onset inflammatory bowel diseases in the Polish population

Project description:Background & Aims: Most inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are classic polygenic disorders represented by common alleles. However, multiple determinants of very early-onset IBD characterized by a more extensive disease course remain largely unknown. The present study aimed to define the genetic architecture of pediatric and adult-onset IBDs in the Polish population. Results: Of 82 SNPs validated/replicated for association with IBD, a novel BRD2 (rs1049526) association was found in both pediatric (OR= 2.35) and adult (OR= 2.66) patients. Thirty SNPs were shared between pediatric and adult patients; 22 and 30 were unique to adult-onset and pediatric-onset IBD, respectively. WES identified numerous rare/infrequent, potentially deleterious variants in IBD-associated or innate immunity-associated genes. Both groups of variants were over-represented in affected children. Two highly deleterious homozygous variants, HLA-DRB1 c.565_566insC and NCF4 p.Arg8Trp, were found in two affected children, and WAS p.Glu131Lys was found in one child and one adult patient. Conclusions: Our GWAS revealed differences in the polygenic architecture of pediatric- and adult-onset IBD. A significant accumulation of rare/low frequency deleterious variants in affected children suggests a contribution by yet unexplained genetic components.

Effects of the expression of M1775R and A1789T BRCA1 missense variants on the transcriptome of HeLa cells

Project description:BRCA1 (breast cancer 1, early onset) mutations confer a high breast and ovarian cancer risk. Most of BRCA1 cancer-predisposing mutations originate truncated proteins, but missense mutations have also been detected in familial breast and ovarian cancer patients. These variants are rare and their role in cancer predisposition is often difficult to ascertain. Our purpose in the present work was to study the molecular mechanisms affected in human cells by two BRCA1 missense variants both located in the second BRCA1 BRCT domain, M1775R and A1789T. These variants were isolated from familial breast cancer patients and their role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer was also investigated by a study previously performed by our group in yeast cells. Here we present a microarray study to compare the expression profiles of HeLa cells transfected with these two variants and HeLa cells transfected with BRCA1 wild type. Data analysis was performed by evaluating three comparisons: M1775R versus wild-type (M1775RvsWT-contrast), A1789T versus wild-type (A1789TvsWT-contrast) and the mutated BRCT domain versus wild-type (MutvsWT-contrast), obtained by considering the two variants as a unique BRCT mutation. We found 173 differentially expressed genes in MutvsWT-contrast, 201 in M1775RvsWT-contrast and 313 in A1789TvsWT-contrast. Our results showed that the considered BRCA1 variants had an impact on cell processes often deregulated in cancerogenesis, such as cell cycle progression and DNA damage response and repair. Thus, our study further supports the putative role in the pathogenesis of cancer of the M1775R and A1789T BRCA1 variants from a molecular point of view.

Unexpected consequences of combined glucocerebrosidase and acid sphingomyelinase deficiency in a model of Parkinson’s disease

Project description:Heterozygous variants in GBA1, encoding glucocerebrosidase (GCase), are the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Moreover, sporadic PD patients also have a substantial reduction of GCase activity. Genetic variants of SMPD1 are also overrepresented in PD cohorts, whereas a reduction of its encoded enzyme (acid sphingomyelinase or ASM) activity is linked to an earlier age of PD onset. Despite both converging on the ceramide pathway, how the combined deficiencies of both enzymes might interact to modulate PD has yet to be explored. Therefore, we created a double-knockout (DKO) AQ4 zebrafish line for both gba1 (or gba) ¶ and smpd1 to test for an interaction in vivo, hypothesising an exacerbation of phenotypes in the DKO line compared to those for single mutants
