Project description:Background: Increased epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) in survivors of childhood cancer is associated with specific treatment exposures, unfavorable health behaviors, and presence of certain chronic health conditions. To better understand inter-individual variability, we investigated the genetic basis underlying EAA. Methods: Genome-wide association studies of EAA based on multiple epigenetic clocks (Hannum, Horvath, PhenoAge, and GrimAge) were performed. MethylationEPIC BeadChip array and whole-genome sequencing data were generated with blood-derived DNA from participants in the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study (discovery: 2,138 pre-existing and 502 newly generated data, all survivors; exploratory: 282 community controls). Linear regression models were fit for each epigenetic age against allelic dose of each genetic variant, adjusting for age at sampling, sex, and cancer treatment exposures. Fixed-effects meta-analysis was used to combine summary statistics from two discovery data sets. LD (Linkage disequilibrium) score regression was used to estimate single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability. Results: For EAA-Horvath, a genome-wide significant association was mapped to SELP gene with the strongest SNP rs732314 (meta-GWAS: β=0.57, P=3.30×10-11). Moreover, the stratified analysis of the association between rs732314 and EAA-Horvath showed substantial heterogeneity between children and adults (meta-GWAS: β=0.97 vs. 0.51, I2=73.1%) as well as between survivors with and without chest/abdominal/pelvic-RT exposure (β=0.64 vs. 0.31, I2=66.3%). For EAA-Hannum, an association was mapped to HLA locus with the strongest SNP rs28366133 (meta-GWAS: β=0.78, P=3.78×10-11). There was no genome-wide significant hit for EAA-PhenoAge or EAA-GrimAge. Interestingly, among community controls, rs732314 was associated with EAA-Horvath (β=1.09, P=5.43×10-5), whereas rs28366133 was not associated with EAA-Hannum (β=0.21, P=0.49). The estimated heritability was 0.33 (SE=0.20) for EAA-Horvath and 0.17 (SE=0.23) for EAA-Hannum, but close to zero for EAA-PhenoAge and EAA-GrimAge. Conclusions: We identified novel genetic variants in SELP gene and HLA region associated with EAA-Horvath and EAA-Hannum, respectively, among survivors of childhood cancer. The new genetic variants in combination with other replicated known variants can facilitate identification of survivors at higher risk in developing accelerated aging, and potentially inform drug targets for future intervention strategies among vulnerable survivors.

Project description:In this study, we investigated whether stroke patients who later developed cancer exhibited an accelerated epigenetic age compared to those who did not. A total of 648 stroke patients were followed for 15 years, during which 83 individuals were diagnosed with cancer. Biological age (B-age) was estimated from DNA methylation data derived from whole blood samples collected within 24 hours of stroke onset. These samples were analyzed using the 450K or EPIC Illumina Beadchip arrays. We employed several epigenetic clocks to calculate B-age, including the Hannum, Horvath, PhenoAge, ZhangBLUP, ZhangEN, and the mitotic epiTOC clocks. After adjusting for multiple testing, competing risks, and key confounders, we found that patients who developed cancer were biologically older, as measured by the Hannum clock. This repository provides the raw idat files and processed DNA methylation values.

Project description:We evaluated biological aging using two epigenetic clocks (Horvath’s multi-tissue clock and CorticalClock (Shireby et al.)Brain 2020) calculated from DNA methylation measured in human post-mortem brain (orbitofrontal cortex; BA11) in a trans-diagnostic psychiatric sample including healthy controls. Epigenome-wide DNA methylation profiling was performed with the Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip (version 1.0; Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) according to manufacturer’s guidelines. The total cohort consisted of 91 individuals. Five individuals were run in duplicate (as internal control). Individuals were either diagnosed a psychiatric disease (1) or psychiatrically healthy (0). Independent of the epigenetic clock used, we did not find evidence for accelerated epigenetic aging in individuals diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder.

Project description:Opioid abuse poses significant risk to individuals in the United States and epigenetic changes are a leading potential biomarker of opioid abuse. Current evidence, however, is mostly limited to candidate gene analysis in whole blood. Here, we provide Illumina HumanMethylationEPIC array data generated in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex tissue from 153 deceased invidiuals: 72 who died of acute opioid intoxication, 53 psychiatric controls, and 28 normal controls. Using these data, we conducted an epigenome-wide association study and identified one CpG site within a gene (NTN1) that may be related to opioid use. We also detected accelerated PhenoAge in opioid samples compared to control samples.

Project description:We assessed DNA methylation in whole blood samples from an Australian population across different age groups. Our study focused on evaluating the accuracy of DNA methylation age estimation using the Horvath 2018 and PhenoAge clocks. Additionally, we examined previously reported functional measures of aging in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Our findings indicated that DNA methylation age effectively predicted donor age, while only a limited number of tested cell functions showed correlations with donor age.

Project description:Anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are complex psychiatric disorders with shared obsessive features, thought to arise from the interaction of multiple genes of small effect with environmental factors. Potential candidate genes for AN, BN, and OCD have been identified through clinical association and neuroimaging studies; however, recent genome-wide association studies of eating disorders (ED) so far have failed to report significant findings. Additionally, few if any studies have interrogated postmortem brain tissue for evidence of eQTLs associated with candidate genes, which has particular promise as an approach to elucidating molecular mechanisms of association. We therefore selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) based on candidate gene studies for AN, BN, and OCD from the literature, and examined the association of these SNPs with gene expression across the lifespan in prefrontal cortex of a non-psychiatric control cohort (N=268). Several risk-predisposing SNPs were significantly associated with gene expression among control subjects. We then measured gene expression in the prefrontal cortex of cases previously diagnosed with obsessive psychiatric disorders, e.g., eating disorders (ED; N=15), and obsessive-compulsive disorder/obsessive-compulsive personality disorder or tics (OCD/OCPD/Tic; N=16), and non-psychiatric controls (N=102) and identified 6 and 286 genes that were differentially expressed between ED compared to controls and OCD cases compared to controls, respectively (FDR < 5%). However, none of the clinical risk SNPs were among the eQTLs and none were significantly associated with gene expression within the broad obsessive cohort, suggesting larger sample sizes or other brain regions may be required to identify candidate molecular mechanisms of clinical association in postmortem brain datasets. Gene expression data from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) from postmortem tissue on 133 subjects - 15 eating disorder (ED) patients, 16 obessive compulsive disorder (OCD) patients, and 102 non-psychiatric controls - run on the Illumina HumanHT-12 v3 microarray
