Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling in anorexia nervosa discordant identical twins

ABSTRACT: Up until now, no study has looked specifically at epigenomic landscapes throughout twin samples, discordant for Anorexia nervosa (AN). Our goal was to find evidence to confirm the hypothesis that epigenetic variations play a key role in the aetiology of AN. In this study, we quantified genome-wide patterns of DNA methylation using the Infinium Human DNA Methylation EPIC BeadChip array (850K) in DNA samples isolated from whole blood collected from a group of 7 monozygotic twin pairs discordant for AN. Results were then validated performing a genome-wide DNA methylation profiling using DNA extracted from whole blood of a group of non-family related AN patients and a group of healthy controls. Our first analysis using the twin sample revealed 9 CpGs associated to a gene. The validation analysis showed two statistically significant CpGs with the rank regression method related to two genes associated to metabolic traits, PPP2R2C and CHST1. When doing beta regression, 6 of them showed statistically significant differences, including 3 CpGs associated to genes JAM3, UBAP2L and SYNJ2.Finally, the overall pattern of results shows genetic links to phenotypes which the literature has constantly related to AN, including metabolic and psychological traits. The genes PPP2R2C and CHST1 have both been linked to the metabolic traits type 2 diabetes through GWAS studies. The genes UBAP2L and SYNJ2 have been related to other psychiatric comorbidity.

Genome-Wide Analysis of DNA Methylation Differences in Muscle and Fat from Monozygotic Twins Discordant for Type 2 Diabetes

Project description:Monozygotic twins discordant for type 2 diabetes constitute an ideal model to study environmental contributions to type 2 diabetic traits. We aimed to examine whether global DNA methylation differences exist in major glucose metabolic tissues from twelve 53–80 year-old monozygotic discordant twin pairs. DNA methylation was measured by the Illumina HumanMethylation27 BeadChip in 22 (11 pairs) skeletal muscle and 10 (5 pairs) subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies. No replicates were included.

DNA methylation in peripheral blood from individuals with Crohns' disease or ulcerative colitis and normal controls

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and normal peripheral blood samples. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip v1.1 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across 482,421 CpGs in peripheral blood samples. Samples came from 17 Crohn's disease affected, 11 ulcerative colitis affected, and 20 normal individuals. Within these samples were three twin sets discordant for Crohn's disease and three twin sets discordant for ulcerative colitis.

Twin DNA methylation profiling reveals flare-dependent interferon signature and B-cell promoter hypermethylation in systemic lupus erythematosus

Project description:Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has limited monozygotic (MZ) twin concordance, implying a role for other pathogenic factors than genetic variation, such as epigenetic changes. Using the disease discordant twin model, we investigated genome-wide DNA methylation changes in sorted CD4+ T-cells, monocytes, granulocytes and B-cells in twin pairs with at least one SLE-affected twin. Methods: Peripheral blood from 15 SLE twin pairs (six MZ, nine dizygotic (DZ)) was processed using gradient density centrifugation for the granulocyte fraction. CD4+ T-cells, monocytes and B-cells were further isolated using magnetic beads. Genome-wide DNA methylation was analysed using Infinium HumanMethylation450K BeadChips. Probes with a p-value <0.01 between SLE twins and co-twins were considered statistically significant and a median DNA methylation difference >7% biologically relevant. Findings were validated using pyrosequencing and replicated in an independent case-control sample. Results: In paired analyses of discordant SLE twins restricted to the gene promoter and start region, we identified 55, 327, 247 and 1628 genes with differentially methylated CpGs in CD4+ T-cells, monocytes, granulocytes and B-cells, respectively. All cell types displayed marked hypomethylation in interferon-regulated genes, such as IFI44L, PARP9 and IFITM1, which was more pronounced in twins with flare within the past two years. In contrast to the other cell types, differentially methylated CpGs in B-cells were predominantly hypermethylated, where the most important upstream regulators included TNF and EP300. Conclusion: Hypomethylation of interferon-regulated genes occurs in all major cellular compartments in SLE twins. The observed B-cell promoter hypermethylation is a novel finding with potential significance for SLE pathogenesis.

Epigenome-wide Association Study of Physical Activity and Physiological Parameters in Discordant Monozygotic Twins

Project description:An epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) was performed on buccal cells from monozygotic-twins (MZ) reared together as children, but who live apart as adults. Cohorts of twin pairs were used to investigate associations between neighborhood walkability and objectively measured physical activity (PA) levels. Due to dramatic cellular epigenetic sex differences, male and female MZ twin pairs were analyzed separately to identify differential DNA methylation regions (DMRs). A priori comparisons were made on MZ twin pairs discordant on body mass index (BMI), PA levels, and neighborhood walkability. In addition to direct comparative analysis to identify specific DMRs, a weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to identify DNA methylation sites associated with the physiological traits of interest. The pairs discordant in PA levels had epigenetic alterations that correlated with reduced metabolic parameters (i.e., BMI). The DNA methylation sites are associated with over fifty genes previously found to be specific to vigorous PA, metabolic risk factors, and sex. Combined observations demonstrate that behavioral factors, such as physical activity, appear to promote systemic epigenetic alterations that impact metabolic risk factors. The epigenetic DNA methylation sites and associated genes identified provide insight into PA impacts on metabolic parameters and the etiology of obesity.

Analysis of genome-wide methylation of phenotypically discordant monozygotic twins

Project description:Human intelligence demonstrates one of the highest heritabilities among human quantitative traits. Phenotypically discordant monozygotic twins provide a way to identify loci reponsible for the phenotypical differences. We performed comprehensive DNA methylation analysis in monozygotic twins manifesting differences in IQ scores. Genes with significantly different methylation status are considered as candidates related to human intelligence. Methylation profiling was conducted using methylated DNA enriched fraction by MethylMiner. Subjects were compared with their co-twins by MAT software and bed files were generated. Significantly high methyalted regions with MAT score p value < 0.000001 in each twin pairs were extracted as candidates.
