Endogenous fine-mapping of functional regulatory elements in complex genetic loci in HAP1 [CUT&Tag]

ABSTRACT: The majority of genetic loci linked to polygenic complex traits are found in non-coding regions of the human genome. These loci often exhibit complex gene regulatory relationships and linkage disequilibrium (LD) configurations, making it challenging to accurately identify causal variants and their target genes. We used multiplexed single-cell CRISPR interference and activation perturbations to investigate cis-regulatory element (CRE) and target gene expression relationships within tight LD in the endogenous chromatin context. We demonstrated the prevalence of multiple causality in perfect LD (pLD) for independent expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) and uncovered fine-grained genetic effects on gene expression within pLD, which are difficult to decipher using traditional eQTL fine-mapping or existing computational methods. We found that over one third of the causal CREs lack classical epigenetic markers, and we functionally validated one of these hidden regulatory mechanisms. Leveraging Multiome single-cell epigenetic and sequence perturbations, we highlighted the regulatory plasticity of the human genome. Our study will guide the exploration of missing causal mechanisms in molecular trait formation and disease development.

Massively parallel quantification of the regulatory effects of non-coding genetic variation [STARR-seq]

Project description:We report a novel high-throughput method to empirically quantify individual-specific regulatory element activity at the population scale. The approach combines targeted DNA capture with a high-throughput reporter-gene expression assay. As demonstration, we have measured the activity of more than 100 putative regulatory elements from 95 individuals in a single experiment. We found that, in agreement with previous reports, most genetic variants have weak effects on distal regulatory element activity. Because haplotypes are typically maintained within but not between assayed regulatory elements, the approach can be used to identify likely causal regulatory haplotypes that contribute to human phenotypes. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of the method to functionally fine map causal regulatory variants in regions of high linkage disequilibrium identified by expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analyses. 104 candidate regulatory elements from 95 individuals were resequenced using Illumina custom amplicon sequencing. We then cloned the resulting DNA fragments into a massively parallel reporter assay to quantify allele-specific regulatory activity from that population.

Genome-wide pQTL analysis of protein expression regulatory networks in the human liver

Project description:Background: Previous expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies have identified thousands of genetic variants to be associated with gene expression at the mRNA level in the human liver. However, protein expression often correlates poorly with mRNA levels. Thus, protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) study is required to identify genetics variants that regulate protein expression in human livers. Results: We conducted a genome-wide pQTL study in 287 normal human liver samples and identified 900 local-pQTL variants and 4,026 distant-pQTL variants. We further discovered 53 genome hotspots of pQTL variants. Transcriptional region mapping analysis showed that 1,133 pQTL variants are in transcriptional regulatory regions. Genomic region enrichment analysis of the identified pQTL variants revealed 804 potential regulatory interactions among 595 regulators (e.g. non-coding RNAs) and 394 proteins. Moreover, pQTL variants and trait-variant integration analysis uncovered several novel mechanisms underlying the relationships between protein expression and liver diseases, such as alcohol dependence. Notably, over 2,000 of the identified pQTL variants have not been reported in previous eQTL studies, suggesting extensive involvement of genetic polymorphisms in post-transcriptional regulation of protein expression in human livers. Conclusions: We have partially established protein expression regulation networks in human livers and generated a wealth of pQTL data that could serve as a valuable resource for the scientific community.

Genetic Risk Variants for Autoimmune Diseases that Influence Gene Expression in Thymus

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have boosted our knowledge of genetic risk variants in autoimmune diseases (AIDs). Most of the risk variants are located within or near genes with immunological functions, and the majority is found to be non-coding, pointing towards a regulatory role. We have performed a cis expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) screen to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with AIDs influence gene expression in thymus. Genotyping was performed using the Immunochip and 353 AID associated SNPs were tested against expression of surrounding genes (+/- 1 Mb) from human thymic tissue (N=42). We identified eight genes where the expression was associated with AID risk SNPs at a study-wide level of significance (P < 2.57x10-5). Five genes (FCRL3, RNASET2, C2orf74, SIRPG and SYS1) displayed cis eQTL signals also in other tissues, while for two loci (NPIPB8 and LOC388814), the eQTL signal appear to be thymus-specific. Since many AID risk variants from GWAS have been subsequently fine-mapped in recent Immunochip projects, we explored the overlap between these novel AID risk variants and the thymic eQTL regions. Moreover, we examined the functional annotation of the seven expression altering SNPs (eSNPs). Our study reveals autoimmune risk variants that act as eQTLs in thymus. We have highlighted functional variants within these genetic regions that potentially can represent causal autoimmune risk variants. Total RNA from 42 human thymic samples were obtained from children undergoing cardiac surgery.

Fine-mapping within eQTL Credible Intervals by E-CROPseq

Project description:Precise identification of causal variants within credible intervals of eQTL associations is needed to identify regulatory GWAS variants. We show that CROPseq, namely multiplex CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing combined with single cell RNAseq, is a viable strategy for fine mapping regulatory SNPs. Mutations were induced nearby 67 SNPs in three genes, two of which, rs2251039 and rs17523802, significantly altered CISD1 and PARK7 expression, respectively, and overlap with chromatin accessibility peaks.

Integrative fine-mapping of regulatory variants and mechanisms at coronary artery disease loci

Project description:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity driven by both genetic and environmental risk factors. Meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with CAD and myocardial infarction (MI) susceptibility in multi-ethnic populations. The majority of these variants reside in non-coding regulatory regions and are co-inherited with hundreds of candidate regulatory SNPs. Herein, we use integrative genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic fine-mapping in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (HCASMC) and tissues to identify causal regulatory variation and mechanisms responsible for CAD associations. Using these genome-wide maps we prioritize 65 candidate variants and perform allele-specific binding and expression analyses on 7 top candidates. We validate our findings in two independent cohorts of diseased human arterial expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), which together demonstrate fundamental links between CAD associations and regulatory function in the appropriate disease context.

Expression data from longissimus dorsi of backcross Iberian x Landrace individuals

Project description:The integration of the results of QTL fine-mapping with microarray expression data offers a promising tool for understanding the genetic mechanisms influencing complex traits as fatty acid composition in pigs. The expression level of each probe may be treated as a quantitative trait and the marker genotypes used to map loci with regulatory effect on the gene expression level (eQTL) According to our previous linkage results, we carry out an eQTL scan focused on chromosomal regions showing tissue-consistent effects on fatty acids with Longissimus dorsi gene expression data in order to detect potentional candidate genes underlying the QTL previously detected. 102 IberianxLandrace backcross pigs were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. An eQTL scan was carried out with the data of 470 probes of the microarray taking into account they were related with fatty acid metabolism
