Project description:Functional consequences of genetic variation in the non-coding human genome are difficult to ascertain despite demonstrated associations to common, complex disease traits. To elucidate properties of functional non-coding SNPs with effects in human endothelial cells (EC), we utilized our previous molecular Quantitative Trait Locus (molQTL) analysis for transcription factor binding, chromatin accessibility, and H3K27 acetylation to nominate a set of likely functional non-coding SNPs. Together with information from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) for vascular disease traits, we tested the ability of more than 34,000 genetic variants to perturb enhancer function in ECs using the highly multiplexed reporter assay. Based on these results, CRISPR-mediated deletion followed by mRNA-Seq was carried out for SNP-containing regulatory elements near SMAD3 and LDAH (C2orf43) in order to functionally verify the target genes of the regulatory elements.

Project description:Deciphering the impact of genetic variants on gene regulation is fundamental to understanding human disease. Although gene regulation often involves long-range interactions, it is unknown to what extent non-coding genetic variants influence distal molecular phenotypes. Here, we integrate chromatin profiling for three histone marks in lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) from 75 sequenced individuals with LCL-specific Hi-C and ChIA-PET-based chromatin contact maps to uncover one of the largest collections of local and distal histone quantitative trait loci (hQTLs). Distal QTLs are enriched within topologically associated domains and exhibit largely concordant variation of chromatin state coordinated by proximal and distal non-coding genetic variants. Histone QTLs are enriched for common variants associated with autoimmune diseases and enable identification of putative target genes of disease-associated variants from genome-wide association studies. These analyses provide insights into how genetic variation can affect human disease phenotypes by coordinated changes in chromatin at interacting regulatory elements.

Project description:Most common genetic variants associated with disease are located in non-coding regions of the genome. One mechanism by which they function is through altering transcription factor (TF) binding. In this study, we explore how genetic variation is connected to differences in the regulatory landscape of livers from C57BL/6J and 129S1/SvImJ mice fed either chow or a high-fat diet. To identify sites where regulatory variation affects TF binding and nearby gene expression, we employed an integrative analysis of H3K27ac ChIP-seq (active enhancers), ATAC-seq (chromatin accessibility) and RNA-seq (gene expression). We show that, across all these assays, the genetically driven (i.e. strain-specific) differences in the regulatory landscape are more pronounced than those modified by diet. Most notably, our analysis revealed that differentially accessible regions (DARs, N = 29635, FDR < 0.01 and fold change > 50%) are almost always strain-specific and enriched with genetic variation. Moreover, proximal DARs are highly correlated with differentially expressed genes. We also show that TF binding is affected by genetic variation, which we validate experimentally using ChIP-seq for TCF7L2 and CTCF. This study provides detailed insights into how non-coding genetic variation alters the gene regulatory landscape, and demonstrates how this can be used to study the regulatory variation influencing TF binding.

Project description:The demonstration that chromatin exhibits a complex 3 dimensional organization, whereby short and long distance physical interactions correspond to complex gene regulatory processes has opened a new window on understanding the functional organization of the human genome. Recently, chromatin remodeling has also been causally implicated in several neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism and schizophrenia. However, it remains unclear whether knowledge of chromosome organization in a tissue specific manner might inform our understanding of gene regulation in brain development or disease. Here we determined the genome-wide landscape of chromosome conformation during early human cortical development by performing Hi-C analysis in the mitotically active and post mitotic laminae of human fetal brain. We integrate Hi-C data with transcriptomic and epigenomic data and utilize chromosome contact information to delineate physical gene-gene regulatory interactions for non-coding regulatory elements. We show how these data permit large-scale functional annotation of non-coding variants identified in schizophrenia GWAS and of human specific enhancers. These data provide a rubric that illustrates the power of tissue-specific annotation of non-coding regulatory elements, as well as novel insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders and the evolution of higher cognition.

Project description:Over 90% of genetic variants associated with complex human traits map to non-coding regions, but little is understood about how they modulate gene regulation in health and disease. One possible mechanism is that genetic variants affect the activity of one or more cis-regulatory elements leading to gene expression variation in specific cell types. To identify such cases, we analyzed Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin (ATAC-seq) and RNA-seq profiles from activated primary CD4 + T cells of up to 105 healthy donors. We found that regions of chromatin accessibility (ATAC-peaks) are co-accessible at kilobase and megabase scales, in patterns consistent with the 3D organization of chromosomes measured by in situ Hi-C in T cells. Genetic variants located within ATAC-peaks often affected the accessibility of the corresponding peak and any co-accessible peaks. They also disrupt binding sites for transcription factors important for CD4 + T cell differentiation and activation, overlap and mediate expression QTLs from the same cells, and are enriched for autoimmune disease variants. Our results provide insights into how natural genetic variants modulate cis-regulatory elements, in isolation or in concert, to influence gene expression in primary immune cells that play a key role in many human diseases.

Project description:Transversions (Tv's) are more likely to alter the amino acid sequence of proteins than transitions (Ts's), and local deviations in the Ts:Tv ratio are indicative of evolutionary selection on genes. Whether the two different types of mutations have different effects in non-protein-coding sequences remains unknown. Here, we provide multiple lines of evidence demonstrating that Tv’s have larger impacts on regulatory DNA including analyses of transcription factor (TF) binding motifs, allele-specific TF binding, and genome-wide Tv density within accessible chromatin. Using massively parallel population-scale reporter assays, we also provide empirical evidence that Tv's have larger effects than Ts's on the activity of human gene regulatory elements. Understanding the features of functional non-coding variation will be valuable for revealing the genetic underpinnings of complex traits and diseases.
