Phenotypically concordant and discordant monozygotic twins display different DNA copy number variation profiles (BAC)

ABSTRACT: The exploration of copy number variation (CNV), notably of somatic cells, is an understudied aspect of genome biology. Any differences in the genetic make-up between twins derived from the same zygote represent an extreme example of somatic variation. We studied 19 pairs of monozygotic twins with either concordant or discordant phenotype using two platforms for genome-wide CNV analyses and show that CNVs exist within pairs in both groups. These findings impact our views of genotypic and phenotypic diversity in monozygotic twins, and suggest that CNV analysis in phenotypically discordant monozygotic twins may provide a powerful tool in identifying disease predisposition loci. Our results also imply that caution should be exercised with the interpretation of disease causality of de novo CNVs found in patients based on analysis of a single tissue in routine disease-related DNA diagnostics Keywords: copy number variation, concordant and discordant monozygotic twins

Genomic exploration of monozygotic twins discordant (MZD) for schizophrenia uncovers de novo mutations (DNM) and reveals candidate genes

Project description:We examined six pairs of monozygotic twins discordant (MZD) for schizophrenia and identified copy number variation (CNV) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) differences between affected and unaffected co-twins using the Affymetrix Genome Wide SNP 6.0. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacurer's protocol on DNA extracted from whole blood CNV analysis was done using Affymetrix Genotyping Console 4.0 and Partek Genotyping Suite

Investigation of somatic copy number variation in MZ twins

Project description:There is growing evidence that genomic DNA sequence changes occur in individual somatic cells during the lifetime of an individual and accumulation of these changes may influence aging and disease. In light of this, and contradicting reports regarding discordant copy number profiles between MZ twins(BARANZINI et al. 2010; BRUDER et al. 2008), we set out to identify de novo somatic copy number mutations in DNA from blood for MZ twin pairs of Mexican American descent who were participants of the San Antonio Family Heart Study (SAFHS) or San Antonio Family Diabetes/Gallbladder study (SAFDGS). By applying circular binary segmentation (CBS) to B-allele ratio differences we determined that the 3 MZ twin pairs in this study had concordant copy number profiles. We also detected 2 de novo germ-line CNVs in 2 MZ twin pairs from the SAFHS. This study includes data for 4 monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs, and both parents of 2 of these MZ twin pairs. The purpose of this study was to compare concordance of copy number profiles between MZ twins.

Somatically Acquired Structural Genetic Differences; a Longitudinal Study of Elderly Danish Twins

Project description:Structural genetic variants like copy number variants (CNVs) comprise a large part of human genetic variation and may be inherited as well as somatically acquired. Recent studies have reported the presence of somatically acquired structural variants in the human genome and it has been suggested that they may accumulate in elderly individuals. To further explore the presence and the age-related acquisition of somatic structural variants in the human genome, we investigated CNVs acquired over a period of 10 years in 86 elderly Danish twins as well as CNV discordances between co-twins of 18 monozygotic twin pairs. Furthermore, the presence of mosaic structural variants was explored.

PLASMA PROTEOMIC ANALYSIS OF RARE BMI-DISCORDANT MONOZYGOTIC TWIN PAIRS

Project description:The aim of the current study is to establish the effect of excess body wiehgt and liver fat on plasma proteomic profile without interference from genetic variation. Label-free proteomics (HDMSE) was performed on plasma samples of young healthy monozygotic twins who were discordant for BMI. the twins were further subdivided into groups of liver fat discordant and liver fat concordant to see the efefct fo liver fat on plasma proteomic signature.

Methylomic Analysis reveals Epigenetic Pattern of SH2B1 in Chinese Monozygotic Twins Discordant for Autism Spectrum Disorder [Methylation 450K]

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder(ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder. Aberrant DNA methylation has been observed in ASD but the mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we employed discordant monozygotic twins to investigate the contribution of DNA methylation to ASD etiology. Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis was performed using samples obtained from five pairs of ASD-discordant monozygotic twins, which revealed a total of 2397 differentially methylated genes. Further, such gene list was annotated with Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and demonstrated predominant activation of neurotrophin signaling pathway in ASD-discordant monozygotic twins. The methylation of SH2B1 gene was further confirmed in the ASD-discordant, ASD-concordant monozygotic twins, and a set of 30 pairs of sporadic case-control by bisulfite-pyrosequencing. The results showed that there was a greater DNA methylation difference in ASD-discordant monozygotic twins than ASD-concordant monozygotic twins. Further, verification of the Chr.16:28856743 of SH2B1 showed significant differences in DNA methylation between case and control. These results suggest abnormal methylation of SH2B1 is associated with ASD etiology. Our data suggest that it might be worthwhile to further explore the functions of SH2B1 and related genes of neurotrophin signaling pathway in ASD.
