WGS of Roma (Romani/Rroma) and European/Romanian individuals from Romania

ABSTRACT: The Roma people are the largest transnational ethnic minority in Europe and can be considered the last human migration of South Asian origin into the continent. They departed Northwest India approximately 1,000 years ago, reaching the Balkan Peninsula around the 12th century and Romania in the 14th century. Here, we generated whole-genome sequencing data of Roma (Romani/Rroma) and non-Roma (European/Romanian) individuals from Romania. We performed a genome-wide scan of selection comparing the Roma, their local host population (Romanians), and a Northwestern Indian population to identify the selective pressures faced by the Roma when they settled in Europe.

The Iberian Roma genetic variant server

Project description:The Roma are the most numerous ethnic minority in Europe. The Iberian Roma arrived in the Iberian Peninsula five centuries ago and still today, they keep a strong group identity. Demographic and cultural reasons lie behind a high rate of Mendelian disease often related to founder variants. We have analysed exome data from 119 Iberian Roma individuals collected from 2018 to 2020. A database of variant frequency has been implemented (IRPVS) and made available online. We have analysed the carrier rate of founder private alleles as well as pathogenic variants present in the general population. Significant enrichment in structural variants involving gene clusters related to keratinization and epidermal growth suggest that evolutive mechanisms have developed towards climate and environmental adaptation. IRPVS can be accessed at http://irpvs.clinbioinfosspa.es/

Representational Oligonucleotide Microarray Analysis (ROMA) array for Copy Number Variation Detection.

Project description:The identification of genetic and epigenetic alterations from primary tumor cells has become a common method to identify genes critical to the development and progression of cancer. We provide a bioinformatic analysis of copy number variation and DNA methylation covering the genetic landscape of ovarian cancer tumor cells. We individually examined the copy number variation and DNA methylation for 44 primary ovarian cancer samples and 7 ovarian normal samples using our MOMA-ROMA technology and Affymetrix expression data as well as 379 tumor samples analyzed by The Cancer Genome Atlas. We have identified 346 genes with significant deletions or amplifications among the tumor samples. Utilizing associated gene expression data we predict 156 genes with significantly altered copy number and correlated changes in expression. We identify changes in DNA methylation and expression for all amplified and deleted genes. We predicted 615 potential oncogenes and tumor suppressors candidates by integrating these multiple genomic and epigenetic data types. This ROMA experiment was performed on Ovarian Tumor samples using the same platform as previously reported by Navin, N. et. al. Genome Res. 2010 Jan;20(1):68-80 (PMID: 19903760). Analysis of the array data was performed as previously reported in Chen, S. et. al. Cancer Biol Ther. 2008 Nov;7(11):1793-802. (PMID: 18836286 ).

Roma Sequencing Study

Project description:Present day Roma genome were shaped by the extensive inbreeding and admixture during their Diaspora. Here, we shed light on the Roma demographic history by analyzing the whole genome sequence of 46 Roma individuals pertaining to four migrant groups in six European countries. The strong reduction in effective population size (~44%), that occurred around 2kya, was not masked by the subsequent high admixture in Middle Eastern and European countries.
