Genome-wide identification of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) in human heart: gene expression

ABSTRACT: In recent years genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have uncovered numerous chromosomal loci associated with various electrocardiographic traits and cardiac arrhythmia predisposition. A considerable fraction of these loci lie within inter-genic regions. Trait-associated SNPs located in putative regulatory regions likely exert their effect by modulating gene expression. Hence, the key to unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac traits is to interrogate variants for association with differential transcript abundance by expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis. In this study we conducted an eQTL analysis of human heart. To this end, left ventricular mycardium samples from non-diseased human donor hearts were hybridized to Illumina HumanOmniExpress BeadChips for genotyping (n = 129) and Illumina Human HT12 Version 4 BeadChips (n = 129) for transcription profiling.

Characterization of eQTLs associated with androstenone by RNA sequencing in porcine testis - RNASeq Database

Project description:Characterization of genetic variants affecting genome-wide gene expression levels (expression quantitative trait loci or eQTLs) in pig testes may improve our understanding of genetic architecture of boar taint (an animal welfare trait) and helps in genome-assisted or genomic selection programs. The aims of this study were to identify eQTLs associated with androstenone, to find candidate eQTLs for low androstenone, and to validate the top eQTL by reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Gene expression profiles were obtained by RNA sequencing in testis from Danish cross-bred pigs and genotype data by 80K single nucleotide polymorphism panel. A total of 262 eQTLs [false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05] were identified by using two software packages: Matrix eQTL and Krux eQTL. Of these, 149 cis-acting eQTLs were significantly associated with androstenone concentrations and gene expression (FDR < 0.05). The eQTLs were associated with several genes of boar taint relevance including CYP1A2, CYB5D1, and SPHK2. One eQTL gene, AMPH, was differentially expressed (FDR < 0.05) and affected by chicory. Five candidate eQTLs associated with low androstenone concentrations were discovered, including the top eQTL associated with CYP1A2. RT-qPCR confirmed target gene expression to be significantly (P < 0.05) different based on eQTL genotypes. Furthermore, eQTLs were enriched as QTLs for 15 boar taint related traits from the PigQTLdb. This is the first study to report eQTLs in testes of commercial crossbred pigs used in pork production and to reveal genetic architecture of boar taint. Potential applications include development of a DNA test and in advanced genomic selection models for boar taint.

Genome-wide expression analysis of mouse chromosome 2 in gonadal fat and liver tissues reveals a complex architecture of obesity

Project description:Transcript abundance in adipose and liver tissues was used to map expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) underlying fat accretion, weight gain and liver weight. Gonadal fat and liver tissues were used from 48 individuals F2 selected from a cohort (1,200 mice) originated from a cross between M16i and MB2 mice. A complex polygenic architecture within the MB2 locus was observed which was comprised of several locally regulated eQTL (cis-eQTL) with significant correlations to obesity traits.

Mapping of Hepatic Expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTLs) in a Han Chinese Population [Expression analysis]

Project description:Elucidating the genetic basis underlying the variation in hepatic gene expression is of importance to understand disease etiology and drug metabolism variances. To date, no genome-wide eQTL analysis has been conducted in the Han Chinese, the largest ethnic group in the world. We performed a genome-wide eQTL mapping in a set of Han Chinese liver tissue (n=64). Normal (non-diseased) liver tissues were previously collected from 64 Chinese donors who provided informed consent. All samples were stored frozen at -80M-bM-^DM-^C from collection until processing for RNA and DNA extraction. DNA /Total RNA of the human liver tissue samples were extracted by using the RNA/DNA Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany).each RNA sample were labeled and hybridized to the One-Color Agilent 60-mer Whole Human Genome Microarray (G4112F, GPL4133) at the Agilent Microarray Facility of Shanghai genomePilot Technology, Inc. The genome-wide scan was performed using the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0. We tested all expression traits for their associations with each of the QC passed SNPs using PLINK's assoc function for quantitative traits, which correlates allele dosage with changes in the trait.

Characterization of expression quantitative trait loci in extensively phenotyped pedigrees from Colombia and Costa Rica

Project description:The observation that variants regulating gene expression (expression quantitative trait loci, eQTL) are at a high frequency among SNPs associated with complex traits has made the genome-wide characterization of gene expression an important tool in genetic mapping studies of such traits. As part of a study to identify genetic loci contributing to bipolar disorder and a wide range of BP-related quantitative traits in members of 26 pedigrees from Costa Rica and Colombia, we measured gene expression in lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from 786 pedigree members. The study design enabled us to comprehensively reconstruct the genetic regulatory network in these families, provide estimates of heritability, identify eQTL, evaluate missing heritability for the eQTL, and quantify the number of different alleles contributing to any given locus. Lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) were established by in vitro infection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with Epstein Barr virus, and RNA was extracted from these cell lines and its expression quantified using Illumina Human HT-12 v4.0 Expression BeadChips. Expression values were background corrected, quantile normalized, log2 transformed, and corrected for major known batch effects. The outcome of these procedures is what we refer to as â??probe expressionâ?? for all subsequent analyses. After quality control filters, the 34,030 probes included in the final set were uniquely aligned to hg19, contained no common SNPs (as defined in dbSNP 137 or 138), queried 24,385 unique genes, and their expression was detected in at least one individual. For a detailed description of the processing steps used at each site and the RNA quantification, normalization, and quality control procedures, see the supplementary note. Please note that charateristics FID, IID and DiagnosisBP1 represents family ID, individual ID and BP1 diagnosis (0= no BP1, 2= BP1), respectively.
