Project description:The Affymetrix CytoScan HD 2.5M and Illumina HumanOmni2.5 arrays are high resolution SNP platform for studying copy number variations in the human genome. Both platforms have widely being used in both clinical and research settings for identifying causative variants as well as interrogating the genome for benign variants. We employed both platforms to investigate the risk factor CNVs in trios diagnosed with OCD. We genotyped 307 unrelated probands (including 174 complete parent-child trios; mean age of probands 7.9±3.5 years) and compared their genotypes to those of 3,861 population controls, in order to identify rare CNVs (<0.5% frequency) of at least 15 kb in size that might contribute to OCD. We uncovered de novo CNVs and Decipher Syndromes in probands. We have identified additional potentially risk factor CNVs impacting the coding sequencing of genes involved in brain functions.

Project description:ObjectiveObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette syndrome (TS) are heritable neurodevelopmental disorders with a partially shared genetic etiology. This study represents the first genome-wide investigation of large (>500 kb), rare (<1%) copy number variants (CNVs) in OCD and the largest genome-wide CNV analysis in TS to date.MethodThe primary analyses used a cross-disorder design for 2,699 case patients (1,613 ascertained for OCD, 1,086 ascertained for TS) and 1,789 controls. Parental data facilitated a de novo analysis in 348 OCD trios.ResultsAlthough no global CNV burden was detected in the cross-disorder analysis or in secondary, disease-specific analyses, there was a 3.3-fold increased burden of large deletions previously associated with other neurodevelopmental disorders (p = .09). Half of these neurodevelopmental deletions were located in a single locus, 16p13.11 (5 case patient deletions: 0 control deletions, p = .08 in the current study, p = .025 compared to published controls). Three 16p13.11 deletions were confirmed de novo, providing further support for the etiological significance of this region. The overall OCD de novo rate was 1.4%, which is intermediate between published rates in controls (0.7%) and in individuals with autism or schizophrenia (2-4%).ConclusionSeveral converging lines of evidence implicate 16p13.11 deletions in OCD, with weaker evidence for a role in TS. The trend toward increased overall neurodevelopmental CNV burden in TS and OCD suggests that deletions previously associated with other neurodevelopmental disorders may also contribute to these phenotypes.

Project description:BackgroundRecent studies report an important-and previously underestimated-role of rare variation in risk of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and chronic tic disorders (CTD). Using data from a large epidemiological study, we evaluate the distribution of potentially damaging copy number variation (pdCNV) in OCD and CTD, examining associations between pdCNV and the phenotypes of probands, including a consideration of early- vs. late-diagnoses.MethodThe Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) questionnaire was used to ascertain psychometric profiles of OCD probands. CNV were identified genome-wide using chromosomal microarray data.ResultsFor 993 OCD cases, 86 (9%) were identified as pdCNV carriers. The most frequent pdCNV found was at the 16p13.11 region. There was no significant association between pdCNV and the OCI-R total score. However, pdCNV was associated with Obsessing and Checking subscores. There was no significant difference in pdCNV frequency between early- vs. late-diagnosed OCD probands. Of the 217 CTD cases, 18 (8%) were identified as pdCNV carriers. CTD probands with pdCNV were significantly more likely to have co-occurring autism spectrum disorder (ASD).ConclusionspdCNV represents part of the risk architecture for OCD and CTD. If replicated, our findings suggest pdCNV impact some OCD symptoms. Genes within the 16p13.11 region are potential OCD risk genes.

Project description:Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a prevalent and often severely disabling illness with onset generally in childhood or adolescence. Although white matter deficits have been implicated in the neurobiology of OCD, few studies have been conducted in pediatric patients when the brain is still developing and have examined their functional correlates. In this study, 23 pediatric OCD patients and 23 healthy volunteers, between the ages of 9 and 17 years, matched for sex, age, handedness, and IQ, received a diffusion tensor imaging exam on a 3T GE system and a brief neuropsychological battery tapping executive functions. Patient symptom severity was assessed using the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS). Patients with OCD exhibited significantly greater fractional anisotropy compared to matched controls in the left dorsal cingulum bundle, splenium of the corpus callosum, right corticospinal tract, and left inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus. There were no regions of significantly lower fractional anisotropy in patients compared to controls. Higher fractional anisotropy in the splenium was significantly correlated with greater obsession severity on the CY-BOCS in the subgroup of psychotropic drug-naïve patients. Among patients, there was a significant association between greater fractional anisotropy in the dorsal cingulum bundle and better performance on measures of response inhibition and cognitive control. The overall findings suggest a pattern of greater directional coherence of white matter tracts in OCD very early in the course of illness, which may serve a compensatory mechanism, at least for response inhibition functions typically subserved by the cingulum bundle.

Project description:ObjectiveTo review progress in understanding pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The focus is on the frontal-striatal-thalamic model of OCD, neurobiological and genetic studies of the disorder, and their influence on recent advances in treatment.MethodComputerized literature searches were conducted with the key words "obsessive-compulsive disorder" in conjunction with "pediatric," "genetics," and "imaging."ResultsNeuroimaging studies find evidence to support the frontal-striatal-thalamic model. Genetic and neurochemical studies also implicate glutamate in the pathological finding of OCD. This has led to the application of glutamate-modulating agents to treat OCD.ConclusionsStudies of pediatric OCD have led to a refined frontal-striatal-thalamic model of pathogenesis and are having an evidence-based impact on treatment. Despite this progress, fully explanatory models are still needed that would allow for accurate prognosis and the development of targeted and efficacious treatments.

Project description:ObjectiveBrain imaging studies of structural abnormalities in OCD have yielded inconsistent results, partly because of limited statistical power, clinical heterogeneity, and methodological differences. The authors conducted meta- and mega-analyses comprising the largest study of cortical morphometry in OCD ever undertaken.MethodT1-weighted MRI scans of 1,905 OCD patients and 1,760 healthy controls from 27 sites worldwide were processed locally using FreeSurfer to assess cortical thickness and surface area. Effect sizes for differences between patients and controls, and associations with clinical characteristics, were calculated using linear regression models controlling for age, sex, site, and intracranial volume.ResultsIn adult OCD patients versus controls, we found a significantly lower surface area for the transverse temporal cortex and a thinner inferior parietal cortex. Medicated adult OCD patients also showed thinner cortices throughout the brain. In pediatric OCD patients compared with controls, we found significantly thinner inferior and superior parietal cortices, but none of the regions analyzed showed significant differences in surface area. However, medicated pediatric OCD patients had lower surface area in frontal regions. Cohen's d effect sizes varied from -0.10 to -0.33.ConclusionsThe parietal cortex was consistently implicated in both adults and children with OCD. More widespread cortical thickness abnormalities were found in medicated adult OCD patients, and more pronounced surface area deficits (mainly in frontal regions) were found in medicated pediatric OCD patients. These cortical measures represent distinct morphological features and may be differentially affected during different stages of development and illness, and possibly moderated by disease profile and medication.
