Abstract

Trait-associated genetic variants affect complex phenotypes primarily via regulatory mechanisms on the transcriptome. To investigate the genetics of gene expression, we performed cis- and trans-expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analyses using blood-derived expression from 31,684 individuals through the eQTLGen Consortium. We detected cis-eQTL for 88% of genes, and these were replicable in numerous tissues. Distal trans-eQTL (detected for 37% of 10,317 trait-associated variants tested) showed lower replication rates, partially due to low replication power and confounding by cell type composition. However, replication analyses in single-cell RNA-seq data prioritized intracellular trans-eQTL. Trans-eQTL exerted their effects via several mechanisms, primarily through regulation by transcription factors. Expression of 13% of the genes correlated with polygenic scores for 1,263 phenotypes, pinpointing potential drivers for those traits. In summary, this work represents a large eQTL resource, and its results serve as a starting point for in-depth interpretation of complex phenotypes.

Abstract

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of variants associated with complex traits, but their biological interpretation often remains unclear. Most of these variants overlap with expression QTLs, indicating their potential involvement in regulation of gene expression. Here, we propose a transcriptome-wide summary statistics-based Mendelian Randomization approach (TWMR) that uses multiple SNPs as instruments and multiple gene expression traits as exposures, simultaneously. Applied to 43 human phenotypes, it uncovers 3,913 putatively causal gene–trait associations, 36% of which have no genome-wide significant SNP nearby in previous GWAS. Using independent association summary statistics, we find that the majority of these loci were missed by GWAS due to power issues. Noteworthy among these links is educational attainment-associated BSCL2, known to carry mutations leading to a Mendelian form of encephalopathy. We also find pleiotropic causal effects suggestive of mechanistic connections. TWMR better accounts for pleiotropy and has the potential to identify biological mechanisms underlying complex traits.

Abstract

In many species, the offspring of related parents suffer reduced reproductive success, a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. In humans, the importance of this effect has remained unclear, partly because reproduction between close relatives is both rare and frequently associated with confounding social factors. Here, using genomic inbreeding coefficients (FROH) for >1.4 million individuals, we show that FROH is significantly associated (p < 0.0005) with apparently deleterious changes in 32 out of 100 traits analysed. These changes are associated with runs of homozygosity (ROH), but not with common variant homozygosity, suggesting that genetic variants associated with inbreeding depression are predominantly rare. The effect on fertility is striking: FROH equivalent to the offspring of first cousins is associated with a 55% decrease [95% CI 44–66%] in the odds of having children. Finally, the effects of FROH are confirmed within full-sibling pairs, where the variation in FROH is independent of all environmental confounding.

Abstract

Epidemiological and genetic data support the notion that schizophrenia and bipolar disorder share genetic risk factors. In our previous genome-wide association study, meta-analysis and follow-up (totaling as many as 18 206 cases and 42 536 controls), we identified four loci showing genome-wide significant association with schizophrenia. Here we consider a mixed schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (psychosis) phenotype (addition of 7469 bipolar disorder cases, 1535 schizophrenia cases, 333 other psychosis cases, 808 unaffected family members and 46 160 controls). Combined analysis reveals a novel variant at 16p11.2 showing genome-wide significant association (rs4583255T; odds ratio=1.08; P=6.6 × 10 -11). The new variant is located within a 593-kb region that substantially increases risk of psychosis when duplicated. In line with the association of the duplication with reduced body mass index (BMI), rs4583255T is also associated with lower BMI (P=0.0039 in the public GIANT consortium data set; P=0.00047 in 22 651 additional Icelanders). © 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited.

Abstract

SPAST mutations are the most common cause of autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegias (AD-HSPs), but many spastic paraplegia patients are found to carry no mutations in this gene. In order to assess the contribution of ATL1 and REEP1 in AD-HSP, we performed mutational analysis in 27 SPAST-negative AD-HSP families. We found three novel ATL1 mutations and one REEP1 mutation in five index-patients. In 110 patients with sporadic adult-onset upper motor neuron syndromes, a novel REEP1 mutation was identified in one patient. Apart from a significantly younger age at onset in ATL1 patients and restless legs in some, the clinical phenotype of ATL1 and REEP1 was similar to other pure AD-HSPs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

7. Quantitative assessment of the innervation of epineurial arteries in the peripheral nerve by immunofluorescence: differences between controls and patients with peripheral arterial disease.

Abstract

The peripheral nerve is supplied by the vasa nervorum. The epi- and perineurial vessels are innervated by an autonomic plexus, which plays a role in regulation of the endoneurial blood flow. This innervation is decreased in diabetes and alcohol polyneuropathy and seems to precede the development of diabetic polyneuropathy. A decreased innervation may therefore play a role in the development of polyneuropathy. In peripheral arterial disease (PAD) clinical and morphological features are present, related to severity of ischemia. To investigate the innervation of the vasa nervorum in severe ischemia, we performed immunofluorescence staining with the general neural marker protein gene product (PGP) 9.5 in whole mount preparations of epineurial vessels of nine sural nerves taken from patients with legs amputated because of severe PAD (59±15 years, mean ± SD) and ten age-matched controls (61±24 years). In patients with PAD the nerve density of the perivascular plexus was decreased in comparison with controls (mean intercept density/mm ± SD) 26.0±6.9 in PAD and 39.9±10.7 in controls, area% 6.0±1.6 in PAD and 9.9±2.6 in controls, both P<0.01, t-test). A decreased perivascular plexus may result in a diminished regulation of the endoneurial blood flow in patients with severe PAD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
