Project description:The development of precision medicine strategies requires prior knowledge of the genetic background of the target population. However, despite the availability of data from admixed Americans within large reference population databases, we cannot use these data as a surrogate for that of the Brazilian population. This lack of transferability is mainly due to differences between ancestry proportions of Brazilian and other admixed American populations. To address the issue, a coalition of research centres created the Brazilian Initiative on Precision Medicine (BIPMed), an initiative of five Research Innovation and Dissemination Centers (RIDCs) supported by FAPESP.

Project description:A population and admixture analysis of Mesoamerican Totonacs and South American Bolivians. A panel of highly informative ancestry informative markers (AIMs) for New World populations is identified. Regions coinciding with AIMs are have moderate signatures of selection. Population structure and differentiation were assessed with a genome-wide panel of 815,377 autosomal markers, Y-chromosome STR and SNPs, and mtDNA sequence data.

Project description:The genetic structure of some native Bolivians has been substantially influenced by admixture from Europeans, which we estimate to have occurred approximately 360 – 384 years ago. Consistent with historical accounts of male admixture, Y-chromosome haplogroups typical of Europeans were found in 39% of our Bolivian samples. No evidence of African admixture was found in native Bolivians. The Mesoamerican Totonacs have little evidence of European or African admixture. Our analysis indicates that some admixed Bolivians have Native American mtDNA and Y-chromosomes but harbor up to 30% European autosomal ancestry, demonstrating the need for autosomal markers to assess ancestry in admixed populations. From a dense genome-wide panel of 815,377 markers, we developed a set of 324 AIMs, specific for Native American ancestry. As few a 40-50 of these markers successfully predict New World ancestry in the ascertainment panel of Bolivians and Totonacs. The markers easily distinguish New World from Old World ancestry, even for populations more closely related to the Americas such as central and eastern Asians, and were effective for New World vs. Old World comparisons in five other geographically and culturally distinct populations of the Americas. SNPs demonstrating very high divergence between the two Native American populations and major Old World populations are found on haplotypes that are shared and occur at similar frequencies in other indigenous low-admixture American populations examined here (i.e. Pima, Maya, Colombian, Karitiana, and Surui). After excluding the possibility of recent relatedness, our results indicate that native Bolivians and Totonacs share ancestry with other American populations through a substantial contribution from a common founding population, population bottlenecks, and possible natural selection on functional variation.

Project description:Background: Differences in breast cancer outcomes according to race/ethnicity have been reported. Hispanic/Latino (H/L) populations are a genetically admixed and heterogeneous group, with variable fractions of European, Indigenous American and African ancestries. Some studies suggest that breast cancer-specific mortality is higher in U.S. Hispanic/Latinas compared to non-Hispanic Whites (NHW) even after adjustment for socioeconomic status and education. The molecular profile of breast cancer has been widely described in NHWs but equivalent knowledge is lacking in Hispanic/Latinas. We have previously reported that the most prevalent breast cancer intrinsic subtype in Colombian H/L women was Luminal B as defined by surrogate St. Gallen 2013 criteria. In this study we explored ancestry-associated differences in molecular profiles of Luminal B tumors among these highly admixed women. Methods: We performed whole-transcriptome RNA-seq analysis in 42 Luminal tumors (21 Luminal A and 21 Luminal B) from Colombian women. Genetic ancestry was estimated from a panel of 80 ancestry-informative markers (AIM). We categorized patients according to Luminal subtype and to the proportion of European and Indigenous American ancestry and performed differential expression analysis comparing Luminal B against Luminal A tumors according to the assigned ancestry groups. Results: We found 5 genes potentially modulated by genetic ancestry: ERBB2 (Fold Change = 2.367, padj < 0.01), GRB7 (Fold Change = 2.327, padj < 0.01), GSDMB (Fold Change = 1.723, padj < 0.01, MIEN1 (Fold Change = 2.195, padj < 0.01 and ONECUT2 (Fold Change = 2.204, padj < 0.01). In the replication set we found a statistical significant association between European ancestry fraction and the expression levels of ERBB2 (p = 0.02, B = 2.49) and ONECUT2 (p = 0.04, B = -4.87). We also observed statistical significant associations for ERBB2 expression with Indigenous American ancestry (p < 0.001, B = 3.82). This association was not biased by the distribution of HER2+ tumors among the groups analyzed. Conclusions: Our results suggest that genetic ancestry in Hispanic/Latina women might modify ERBB2 gene expression in Luminal tumors. Further analyses are needed to confirm these findings and explore their prognostic value.

Project description:Variation in gene expression is a fundamental aspect of human phenotypic variation. Several studies have analyzed gene expression levels in populations of different continental ancestry, and concluded that there is variation across populations at a fraction of expressed genes. Here we analyze gene expression levels in African American cell lines, which differ from previously analyzed cell lines in that samples from this population have variable proportions of continental ancestry. We show that for most genes examined, gene expression varies with genetic ancestry. Keywords: Human Gene Expression Study

Project description:To reveal genetic determinants of susceptibility to COVID-19 severity in the population and further explore potential immune-related factors, we performed a genome-wide association study on 284 confirmed COVID-19 patients (cases) and 95 healthy individuals (controls). We compared cases and controls of European (EUR) ancestry and African American (AFR) ancestry separately. To further exploring the linkage between HLA and COVID-19 severity, we applied fine-mapping analysis to dissect the HLA association with mild and severe cases.

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.

Project description:The influence of genetics on DNA methylation (DNAme) variation is well documented, yet confounding from population stratification is often unaccounted for in DNAme association studies. Existing approaches have been developed to address confounding by population stratification by directly using DNAme data, but have not been validated in additional human populations or tissues, such as the placenta. Results: To aid future placental DNAme studies in assessing population stratification, we developed an ethnicity classifier, PLANET (placental elastic net DNAme ethnicity classifier), on combined Infinium Human Methylation 450k BeadChip array (HM450k) data from placental samples. We used data from five North American cohorts from private and public repositories (n = 509) and show that PLANET can not only accurately predict (accuracy = 0.9379, kappa = 0.8227) major classes of self-reported ethnicity/race (African: n = 58, Asian: n = 53, Caucasian: n = 389), but can also produce probabilities that are highly correlated with genetic ancestry inferred from genome-wide SNP (>2.5 million SNP) and ancestry informative markers (n=50) data. We found that PLANET’s ethnicity classification relies on 1860 DNAme microarray sites, and over half of these were also linked to nearby genetic polymorphisms (n=955). Lastly, we found our placental-optimized method outperforms existing approaches in assessing population stratification in our placental samples from individuals of Asian, African, and Caucasian ethnicities. Conclusion: PLANET outperforms existing methods and heavily relies on the genetic signal present in DNAme microarray data. PLANET can be used to address population stratification in future placental DNAme association studies, and will be especially useful when ethnicity information is missing and genotyping markers are unavailable.

Project description:As Asians are underrepresented across many omics databases limiting the potential of precision medicine of the global population. It is thus important for multi-omics derived quantitative trait loci (QTLs) to fill the knowledge gap of complex traits in the Asian ancestry. Integrating omics data from genomics and epigenomics (including DNA methylation and RNA-seq from blood), we developed iMOMdb, an open-acesss database to enhance disease prediction models and precision medicine outcomes in Asian pregnant women.
