Increased copy-number variant load of associated risk genes in sporadic cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an age-related neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective loss of motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord. Several genetic factors have been associated to ALS, ranging from causal genes and potential risk factors to disease modifiers. Here, we applied an exon-centric aCGH method to investigate, in sporadic ALS patients, the load of CNVs in 131 genes previously associated to ALS. Our approach revealed that CNV load, defined as the total number of CNVs or their length, was significantly higher in ALS cases.

5-methylcytosine ChIP-on-Chip (MeDIP) of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and control human brains

Project description:This experiment series sought to detect genome-wide methylation in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis brains and compare it to normal control brains. Methylation across the whole genome was measured in brain DNA of 10 SALS patients and 10 neurologically-normal controls. Methylated DNA was immunoprecipitated and interrogated by Affymetrix GeneChip Human Tiling 2.0R Array Sets. Methylation calls were compared between SALS patients and controls at each methylated site. Keywords: ChIP-Chip

Identification of Candidate Genes for Sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis by Array Comparative Genomic Hybridisation

Project description:Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disorder of the central nervous system that leads to progressive loss of upper and lower motor neurons. Most cases are sporadic and of unknown aetiology. In this study, we screened 71 patients with sporadic ALS for the presence of DNA copy number variations, in order to identify novel candidate disease genes. Methods: We have used sub-megabase resolution BAC array comparative genomic hybridisation to detect genomic imbalances in our ALS patient cohort. In order to distinguish phenotypically neutral copy number variations occurring frequently in the normal population from disease-associated aberrations, we screened our results against both the Database of Genomic Variants and a reference data set of approximately 700 normal individuals and probands with other disorders analysed in our laboratory. Aberrations with potential relevance for disease aetiology were verified by oligo array CGH. Findings: In 71 patients with sporadic ALS, we identified a total of six duplications and seven deletions that scored above our threshold. Twelve of these thirteen variations were smaller than 1Mb. Seven were observed exclusively in ALS patients and thus likely play causal roles in the disorder. Analysis of these regions highlighted, for example, the SLC1A7 (EAAT5) glutamate transporter and the kinesin family member KIF9 as good positional and functional candidate genes for ALS. Interpretation: Non-polymorphic sub-microscopic duplications and deletions observable by array CGH are frequent in patients with sporadic ALS. Analysis of such aberrations serves as an excellent starting point in deciphering the aetiology of this complex disease. Keywords: array CGH A cohort of 71 ALS patients was analysed by means of a submegabase resolution BAC array. No replicates were included. Experiments were done without dye swap.

DNA methylome, R-loop and clinical exome profile of patients with sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (DRIP)

Project description:Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterised by the death of motor neurons, the aetiology of which is essentially unknown. Here, we present an integrative epigenomic study in blood samples from seven clinically characterised sporadic ALS patients to elucidate molecular factors associated with the disease. We used clinical exome sequencing (CES) to study DNA variants, DNA-RNA hybrid immunoprecipitation sequencing (DRIP-seq) to assess R-loop distribution, and reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) to examine DNA methylation changes. The above datasets were combined to create a comprehensive repository of genetic and epigenetic changes associated with the ALS cases studied. Our data descriptor is expected to guide further mechanistic studies on ALS to discover underlying genetic causes and develop new epigenetic therapies to combat this life-threatening disease.
