Familial psychosis associated with a missense mutation at MACF1 gene combined with the rare duplications DUP3p26.3 and DUP16p23.3, affecting the CNTN6 and CDH13 genes

ABSTRACT: Psychosis is a highly heritable and heterogeneous psychiatric condition. Its genetic architecture is thought to be the result of the joint effect of common and rare variants. Families with high prevalence are an interesting approach to shed light on the rare variant's contribution without the need of collecting large cohorts. To unravel the genomic architecture of a family enriched for psychosis, with four affected individuals, we applied a system genomic approach based on karyotyping, genotyping by whole-exome sequencing to search for rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and SNP array to search for copy-number variants (CNVs). We identified a rare non-synonymous variant, g.39914279 C>G, in the MACF1 gene, segregating with psychosis. Rare variants in the MACF1 gene have been previously detected in SCZ patients. Besides, two rare CNVs, DUP3p26.3 and DUP16p23.3, were also identified in the family affecting relevant genes (CNTN6 and CDH13, respectively). We hypothesize that the co-segregation of these duplications with the rare variant g.39914279 C>G of MACF1 gene precipitated with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.

A Missense Variant in CASKIN1's Proline-Rich Region Segregates with Psychosis in a Three-Generation Family

Project description:The polygenic nature of schizophrenia (SCZ) implicates many variants in disease development. Rare variants of high penetrance have been shown to contribute to the disease prevalence. Whole-exome sequencing of a large three-generation family with SCZ and bipolar disorder identified a single segregating novel, rare, non-synonymous variant in the gene CASKIN1. The variant D1204N is absent from all databases, and CASKIN1 has a gnomAD missense score Z = 1.79 and pLI = 1, indicating its strong intolerance to variation. We find that introducing variants in the proline-rich region where the D1204N resides results in significant cellular changes in iPSC-derived neurons, consistent with CASKIN1’s known functions. We observe significant transcriptomic changes in 368 genes (padj < 0.05) involved in neuronal differentiation and nervous system development. We also observed nominally significant changes in the frequency of action potentials during differentiation, where the speed at which the edited and unedited cells reach the same level of activity differs. Our results suggest that CASKIN1 is an excellent gene candidate for psychosis development with high penetrance in this family.

Rare de novo copy number variants in patients with congenital pulmonary atresia

Project description:Ongoing studies using genomic microarrays and next-generation sequencing have demonstrated that the genetic contributions to cardiovascular diseases have been significantly ignored in the past. The aim of this study was to identify rare copy number variants in individuals with congenital pulmonary atresia (PA). Based on the hypothesis that rare structural variants encompassing key genes play an important role in heart development in PA patients, we performed high-resolution genome-wide microarrays for copy number variations (CNVs) in 82 PA patient-parent trios and 189 controls with an Illumina SNP array platform. CNVs were identified in 17/82 patients (20.7%), and eight of these CNVs (9.8%) are considered potentially pathogenic. Five de novo CNVs occurred at two known congenital heart disease (CHD) loci (16p13.1 and 22q11.2). Two de novo CNVs that may affect folate and vitamin B12 metabolism were identified for the first time. A de novo 1-Mb deletion at 17p13.2 may represent a rare genomic disorder that involves mild intellectual disability and associated facial features. high-resolution genome-wide microarrays for copy number variations (CNVs) in 82 PA patient-parent trios and 189 controls with an Illumina SNP array platform. Only 21 samples with potentially pathogenic CNVs are included in this records

A Genome-Wide Copy Number Variant Study of Suicidal Behavior

Project description:Suicide and suicide attempts are complex behaviors that result from the interaction of different factors, including genetic variants that increase the predisposition to suicidal behaviors. Copy number variations (CNVs) are deletions or duplications of a segment of DNA usually larger than one kilobase. These structural genetic changes, although quite rare, have been associated with genetic liability to mental disorders, such as autism, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. No genome-wide level studies have been published investigating the potential role of CNVs in suicidal behaviors. Based on single-nucleotide polymorphism array data, we followed the Penn-CNV standards to detect CNVs in 1,608 subjects, comprising 475 suicide and suicide attempt cases and 1,133 controls. Although the initial algorithms determined the presence of CNVs on chromosomes 6 and 12 in seven and eight cases, respectively, compared with none of the controls, visual inspection of the raw data did not support this finding. Furthermore we were unable to validate these findings by CNV-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction. Additionally, rare CNV burden analysis did not find an association between the frequency or length of rare CNVs and suicidal behavior in our sample population. Although our findings suggest CNVs do not play an important role in the etiology of suicidal behaviors, they are not inconsistent with the strong evidence from the literature suggesting that other genetic variants account for a portion of the total phenotypic variability in suicidal behavior.

Transcriptome sequencing of a large human family identifies the impact of rare non-coding variants

Project description:We have combined high-quality genome sequencing and RNA-sequencing data within a 17-individual, three generation family. Using these data, we have contrasted cis-acting expression, allele-specific expression and splicing quantitative trait loci (collectively termed eQTLs) within the family to eQTLs discovered within a cell-type and ethnicity-matched population sample. We identified that eQTL that exhibit larger effects in the family compared to the population are enriched for rare regulatory and splicing variants and were more likely to influence essential genes. In addition, we identify several large effect-size eQTLs within the family for genes involved in complex disease. Through analysis of eQTLs in a large family we also report the utility of non-coding genome annotation to predicting the effect of rare non-coding variants. We find that a combination of distance to the transcription start site, evolutionary constraint and epigenetic annotation is considerably more informative for predicting the consequence of rare non-coding variants than for common variants. In summary, through transcriptome analyses within a large family we are able to identify the contribution of rare non-coding variants to expression phenotypes and further demonstrate the predictive potential of diverse non-coding genome annotation for interpretation of the impact of rare non-coding variants.

Impact of IQ on the diagnostic yield of chromosomal microarray in a community sample of adults with schizophrenia

Project description:The Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP 6.0 and CytoScan HD arrays are high-resolution SNP platforms for studying copy number variations in the human genome. It is widely being used in both clinical and research settings for identifying causative variants as well as interrogating the genome for benign variants. We employed this platform to investigate the burden of clinically relevant rare (<0.1% in population controls) CNVs in individuals with schizophrenia, stratified by IQ group. We genotyped 540 unrelated probands with schizophrenia and applied rigorous methods to detect genome-wide CNVs. All rare CNV >500 kb and all rare exonic CNV >100 kb were adjudicated for clinical relevance following the American College of Medical Genetics guidelines for CNV interpretation. Our results revealed that burden of pathogenic CNVs is significantly greater for individuals with schizophrenia and low IQ compared to those with normal to superior IQ

Refinement and discovery of new hotspots of copy number variation associated with autism spectrum disorder

Project description:Rare DNA copy-number variation (CNV) plays an important role in the underlying genetic etiology of autism and intellectual disability. Although large numbers of copy-number variants (CNVs) have been recently implicated in autism, most are large affecting many genes and specificity of these lesions with respect to classically defined autism as opposed to more broadly defined developmental delay is unclear. We exploited the repeat architecture of the genome to target smaller regions (n=1340 hotspots, median size 15 kbp) flanked by repetitive sequence among 2,240 autism simplex patients and a subset of unaffected parents.

SNP array in severe early-onset obesity

Project description:Obesity is considered a multifactorial disorder with high heritability (50-75%), probably higher in early-onset and severe cases. Although rare monogenic forms and several genes and regions of susceptibility, including CNVs, have been defined, the genetic causes underlying the disease still remain largely unknown. We aimed to identify novel genetic and genomic abnormalities in a cohort of Spanish children with severe non-syndromic early-onset obesity (EOO). We obtained molecular karyotypes of 157 children with EOO. Large and rare CNVs were validated and segregated in the family. A higher burden of duplication-type CNVs was detected in EOO patients versus controls (OR=1.85, p-value=0.008).

CNV analysis of 233 individuals of European ancestry and 6 individuals of non-European ancestry with cleft lip and/or cleft palate

Project description:Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is a common birth defect with a complex, heterogeneous etiology. It is well-established that both common and rare sequence variants contribute to the formation of CL/P, however, the contribution of copy number variants (CNVs) to cleft formation remains relatively understudied. To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted a large-scale comparative analysis of genome-wide CNV profiles of 869 individuals from the Philippines and 233 individuals of European ancestry with CL/P with three primary goals: first, to evaluate whether differences in CNV number, amount of genomic content, or amount of coding genomic content existed within clefting subtypes; second, to assess whether CNVs in our cohort overlapped with known Mendelian clefting loci; and third, to identify unestablished Mendelian clefting genes. Significant differences in CNVs across cleft types or in individuals with non-syndromic versus syndromic clefts were not observed, however, several CNVs in our cohort overlapped with known syndromic and non-syndromic Mendelian clefting loci. Moreover, employing a filtering strategy relying on population genetics data that rare variants are on the whole more deleterious than common variants, we identify several CNV-associated gene losses likely driving non-syndromic clefting phenotypes. By prioritizing genes deleted at a rare frequency across multiple individuals with clefts yet enriched in our case cohort compared to controls, we identify COBLL1, RIC1, and ARHGEF38 as clefting genes. CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis of these genes in Xenopus laevis and Danio rerio yielded craniofacial dysmorphologies, including clefts analogous to those seen in human clefting disorders.
